Travel day yesterday. Picked up top secret writer at Sky Harbor at 11. Stopped in a certain "old pueblo" town and had mole enchiladas at El Charro. Went to Office Max and bought two cork bulletin boards and 3X5 cards and pushpins ($36 biz account). Drove on another 75 miles to the top secret location. Rain near Patagonia and saw virga in San Pedro Valley. Stopped with top secret writer at the scene of the crime. Got to the top secret location at 5:30.

"Please stop this yoga. It hurts to even read about it. Perhaps you could put a warning at the top of your Blog when you feel it's necessary to write about it. You need to remember the old coaches of our era (I'm 58) and do a more manly exercise. Ride your bike with the dogs and let it go at that. Remember, Yoga strips you of your manhood."
—Hugh Howard, Maniac# 9

"To be nobody but yourself in a world which is doing its best day and night to make you like everybody else means to fight the hardest battle any human being can fight and never stop fighting."
