I’m sure everyone at home is wondering what life is like for me over here in the desert. Well, here are a few pictures to give you an idea. I wake up at midnight to get to work at two. This is the pickup/drop off point. 
Jack’s is also a good place to go if you want some quiet to read a book or work a puzzle. Also, all the books and puzzles and games in Jack’s are free for the taking.
Beside Jack’s is the transient lodging. These tents are for the people passing through on their way to or from down range.
I get off work at noon. After a day at work, I return to the trailer park and try to remember which of the identical trailers is mine.
Actually they all have signs with building numbers, and the door to mine doesn’t close. (It’s not in this picture.) Once in my room, I change into my PT gear and either doze off or read a book or write or etc. Here’s my half of the room.
The next morning before work, I might decide to visit the WIFI hot spot. (It’s too hot at noon after work.) Of course, it’s right next to the smoke pit, and if they’re doing something, it’s not always quiet.
When this picture was taken, they were doing Karaoke. I didn’t hang around very long.
Here’s a question. Is it possible to take a self portrait and not have the camera in the picture and also not have the flash reflect in the mirror? The answer is YES, though it took me about forty tries to get it looking okay.
Unfortunately, the mirror won’t get any cleaner.I don’t have any other pictures, yet. Maybe soon. I have five more months to fill my scrapbook. ☺
