Lunar eclipse - don't come here for pictures

I've seen some outstanding eclipse photos around the 'Net this morning. These aren't any of them.

I'm only a waxing gibbous moon ...

...sailing over a cardboard sky.

Truth or Consequences gets a little spiffied up for Art Hop.

Some of you know Jake the Dog, and will be happy to see that he had a river play date.

It may be impossible to be gloomy while watching dogs play in the water. I thought they must be walking on water, but the river is just that shallow just below Caballo Dam.

Composting toilets: the scoop on the poop

Back in 2012 I wrote a short essay on the beauty of composting toilets. In 2010, when we installed ours in the motorhome, a person couldn't even get a civil reply on RVing forums when asking about such things. Today, I've gotten 12,500 hits on that topic; it's three times more popular than the next most popular post. Thanks to RVing resource websites, the information remains everbrown, and some days I get more hits on composting poo than I do on my latest adventure. 

At 12,500 hits, I like to think that 1,250 people read it and thought "maybe I could do this someday." Maybe 125 people went through with it and installed composting toilets somewhere in their lives.

This is a movement whose time has come. Back around 2005, I read Joseph Jenkins' book, The Humanure Handbook, and thought "maybe I could do this someday." Who knew I would become a poo evangelist?

B3 (Blogger 3) summit concludes - Caballo Lake State Park

Meeting other bloggers, getting closer, then parting, reminds me of the elasticity of friendship and camaraderie, and the temporary nature of a beer. It was satisfying to sit and chat with Suzanne and Barbara, and briefly sad to say goodbye. Still, we all know why we're living this life, and it's not to see the same things and people day-to-day. Besides, one thing is nearly certain, and that's that we'll meet again somewhere. It's the way we roll.

I'm a log. Look away.

Nothing to see here.

Oh, I SEE YOU.

Hopefully, this sign, my pirate hat, and my new chair chained to the picnic table will be subtle indicators of my intentions. Occupy Campsites.

Here in Truth or Consequences, my friend friend, Sue, has an art opening Saturday night. If you're in the area, come take a look. She'll be at January's, and there will be things happening all over the downtown - it's Art Hop!

See you there!
