No LA; twitter? Other updates.

Barring a miracle, no LA for me. I was restless-needed exercise (did full kata)-and may camp elsewhere for a change. I may also pay for more texting so I can play with twitter and post when there is no data connection.

A deer is walking by-first I've seen.

Yesterday, the air was very still. Many bird sounds, no human. I sat, moved slow, ate many greens, finished _Owen Meany_. OM is ok, but not as expanding for me as other texts. Looking forward to the sci-fi I brought.

Wednesday, I did full kata-first time out here, took a long time-then worked on making net. Failed, emailed for help, ended up using $20 of the prepaid to get unlimited data for a month. Browsed net for help without success, spent hours fiddling with phone and Opera Mini. Went back to camp and figured out a way to make a net! Later found Stace had sent a link to a diagram of the more refined way-primitiveways.com/pomo_netting.html - and spent more time seeing if I could view it on this phone, but no.

Oh-I've still been recovering from a sickness. Only bit of soreness left on tonsils, and a high-pitched sound in right ear, if I focus on it. Saturday night that ear was aching, from unrelieved pressure I think -- 6000 feet. Sinus clogging and occasional cough may finally be gone. With cool, dry air, wind, no pool, no oranges, healing has been slow. On the plus side: good air, water, greens, rose hips, relaxing help me adapt.
