Whats most important, watch or calendar ?
A sunny, cloudless day today, but it’s just temporary because it's supposed to cloud up again tomorrow. By the look of the clouds when I went to bed last night, I thought there would be a nice sunrise this morning, but I was wrong; there wasn't a cloud in the sky.
With all the rain I've been having, I spent some time today checking the windows, door, and ceiling for any signs of leaks, and I'm happy to say I could find none. I think that's pretty good for a 13-year-old camper, especially since this camper wasn't a top-of-the-line model to start with. Although it was the first year that Lance used fiberglass siding, which I prefer to the aluminum siding they used to use.
I think I'll drive to Deming, New Mexico, which is about 30 miles away, early next week, possibly on Monday or Tuesday, and buy some supplies at Walmart. I can use some groceries and a 2026 calendar.
I don't have much need for a watch, but my life kinda revolves around a calendar. I like the biggest one I can find, which has plenty of room to write on every day, so I can write down things I need to be reminded of, like birthdays, and especially when I get to someplace that has a two-week stay limit, so I don't overstay my welcome. It's also important that the calendar has all the basic holidays marked so I know when I need to get someplace and hunker down before the unwashed hordes descend upon my location with the noise they call music, accompanied by dogs that look like hyenas and bark 24/7, contractor generators that shake the earth and is the only thing louder than their music, and trash marking every spot they set up camp.

Fluffy clouds at the City of Rocks.
There are two or three miniature City of Rocks scattered around outside the real City of Rocks. These rocks appear to be in the process of eroding into more City of Rocks in the next three million years. I was planning on being around to watch that occur, but since my New Mexico camping pass expires at the end of this month, it looks like I'll have to move on before that happens, or continue buying an annual camping pass at the new rate of $600 a year. But I've talked to my credit card company, and they have assured me that my credit card will not stand the shock of $600 a year for 3 million years despite my excellent credit rating.
