Drove through the washoe valley from Reno. Sun setting, green fields dotted with cows .... a sandy bottomed valley, hard scrable, sand and weeds and grass. water from the winter snow pack fill up the shallow lake on the valley floor - which is pumped to irrigate grazing land for walking hamburgers. I'm red eyed , cruising in a dodge neon - really between work and hotel in a semi mindless state, not at work, not at "home". I live in world of emails, spreadsheets, lines of code, databse tables, electonic networks. ah, verily, this is life, the eternal momement, which is also scheduled in my outlook calendar, repeating itself at 1:30 pm every week day.
