Mesa Verde
Day 6 We started today with a visit to Shiprock, basically a big lump of rock jutting up out of the plain. This is sacred to the Navajo, and can look very dramatic in the right light, but was a Continue reading
Excellent Service
I’d just like to put in a word for www.mrmemory.co.uk. I ordered a RAM upgrade for my Alienware laptop at 5.30pm yesterday. It arrived, exactly as described, in the Saturday morning post! Highly recommended. Now about those 5 virtual machines Continue reading
Angels and Badlands
Day 5 We had an early start today – up at 5.30 and a 50 mile drive to get to the “Bisti Badlands” for dawn. This was initially a bit disappointing, but then we bit the bullet and followed Martres’ Continue reading

Action At A Distance
I have just read three cracking thrillers: Nothing to Lose, written by Lee Child in 2008, Zero Day, written by Mark Russinovich in 2011, and Perishable Goods, written by Dornford Yates in 1928. All three are great yarns, and well Continue reading
Sunset and Swirling Sea
