Thanks for putting this up Kinky - and I must confess to you here that I ran over a Yucca plant with the fire truck when I was moving her into position the other day. Sorry. So I took the broken off piece and spray painted the tips of the swords day-glo orange, and mounted it on top of a similarly painted (but dead) propane tank and now have a beautiful 'potted plant' on dispaly in the Xara-like FreakyTiki Lounge.

So word to you all: don't let this happen to you! Don't run over plants, don't move those pesky plants to pitch your tent, and watch where you dance.

Ciggerette butts are a special problem - ashtrays here don't work - that is, when the winds pick up (as they always do) the ashtrays all get emptied - scattered all around, so smoke 'em if you've got 'em, but pack 'em in, and pack 'em out!

But do enjoy the local flora and fauna. The wildflowers are subtly magnificent. I picked a boquet out on the property yesterday that boasts ten different flowers - including some white iris, pink geranium, yellow clover, some succulents blooms and some of those little yellow and blue and red flowers that poke up out of the desert floor only occasionally in springtimes like this where theres been several rains. Amazing.

Thanks!
