Life in the Desert


July 20

In the sparsely populated areas, so many modest little homesteads speak of difficult lives. In the middle of vast desert dotted by occasional scrubby little shrubs, there may be a lone mobile home, perhaps with a car alongside it – and, for the well-endowed, perhaps an additional little building, such as an outhouse or a dog house. In 2009! Not even a satellite dish, no flowers, no trees, no neighbors.
