Creator of Rainbow Flag, Gilbert Baker, Dead at 65

A beautiful, joyous symbol that has been adopted all over the world to proclaim our pride. Especially dear to those of us who grew up in a time when we struggled privately with our emerging but inevitable identity. May it continue to wave with dignity against so much hatred, prejudice, violence and lack of understanding.

Condolences to the family and friends of Gilbert Baker.

A Little Road Trip

Leon has been working 10 and 11 days at a stretch and finally had four days off in a row! So we took a little road trip in our "new" used camper. 

Water From a Stump?

We Took a Wrong Turn:
"Journey of the Dead"

There's Lots of Rusty Iron Lying Around

Fence Art in T or C

The Very Large Array
(I Thought It Would Be Larger)

But the Clouds Are Interesting

Casitas Near the Elephant Butte Dam
