Some people say that my work is my life, but I would rather say that my life coincides closely with my work. That is to say, for the most part, I get paid to do the things I would do if I didn't work (ah, life was so simple back then. I suppose I should get around to updating this statement -- it seems so quaint now).

However, I do enjoy some things that I can't get paid to do. I like to camp in the remote reaches of the desert - as far from other people as I can get. I also like to watch birds, and there are some great places around Las Vegas to do that. But one of the best things is to sit on the Zone-tailed Ranch in northwestern Arizona and watch the sunset. And if I get tired of that, I can sit on our Starlight property in the California desert and relax.

One other thing we do in the Nevada desert is wait and watch for UFOs. Now most people would say that UFOs don't exist, but I am here to say that this just isn't the case. As you would know from reading other parts of my web site, I work on the Nevada Test Site where the government keeps captured "vehicles" and frozen bodies. Of course, I can't tell anyone about my activities in "the area that doesn't exist" (generally identified by an integer between 50 and 52). In the mean time, keep the faith and check out the ET Highway that runs through middle Nevada and was recently dedicated by the state.

Needless to say, life in the desert is good to us.
