Memes are contagious ideas, all competing for a share of our mind in a kind of Darwinian selection.

Well it is Friday night and Scott is working in near darkness to get the dish connected. As will all installation of more than one piece - it didn't go smoothly, but it has reflected well on Scott. He spent hours on the phone with the Hughes Company Direct Way support only to find that they had sent the wrong firmware modems to Quartzsite (about 22 of them). They tried to ship overnight, but there isn't any overnight delivery. So then they were doing to drive down the correct modem from Salt Lake City but first they called the boss of the company who is in Quartzsite, who said, no, he has two of them, and it goes on and on - another dealer supplied a brand new modem out of the crate that has the write date and firmware and those we are off and workiing at 6pm.

Busy day, but no pictures yesterday. I got all my signing up down with the satellite people and my installation is scheduled for tomorrow at 8am. I'll be bringing my trailer to the middle of town (next to the netcafe) and living there until the installation is complete. Today I'm getting masage in a half an hour and then heade to the hardware store. I'll take pictures of my work on the banana wrap (remaining damaged one) and also of my installation of the last plate - port hole for the cabling. I'll drill one hole in the floor and try and set up a place for the two modems and the wireless. The more I do, the less it costs. You can see visit Scott's site - Dustyfoot.com by clicking here.

Less talk more pictures. Morning chicklets. (Which multiple personality is he today?)

Alan wakes in the desert with a friend. Psst. . . Tedd, I think she has a sister. These photos were all taken with 30 yards of each other and 50 yards from my trailer.

	The first winter rain in 10 years, the week I arrived set the stage for an explosion of life in the Sonoran desert. The flowers are just starting, as you can see from the many buds. Next week should be a carpet of blue and yellow.
