Goals/Life Update - Day 661/1001

We talk to ourselves incessantly about our world. In fact we maintain our world with our internal talk. And whenever we finish talking to ourselves about ourselves and our world, the world is always as it should be. We renew it, we rekindle it with life, we uphold it with our internal talk. Not only that, but we also choose our paths as we talk to ourselves. Thus we repeat the same choices over and over until the day we die, because we keep on repeating the same internal talk over and over until the day we die. A warrior is aware of this and strives to stop his internal talk. ~ Carlos Castaneda ,A Separate Reality

Still unable to update my profile. It still shows my attempt to modify my profile as an 'unhandled error'. I'll be posting a journal entry at the top of my journal dated June 30, 2014 that will be updated with the whole 101/1001 list.

Sleeping well for a another week (#14) in Tucson (#64). My sleep has greatly improved with no clients and little agenda other than my own. Yesterday we explored various parts of Tucson and went to Amazon's niece's birthday party with real Mexican food and an excellent Mariachi band. We went to Saguaro National Park today, and got lucky enough to be less than ten feet from a herd of javelinas as well as seeing some spectacular scenery and learning about various cacti and desert animals. Still planning on the Pima Air and Space Museum (#87) in the next day or so, as well as Tuma CaCori National Historic Park. Still working on grabbing geocaches for the Finds by Day of Year.

Got the Sportster (#75) unloaded off the truck this morning, as well as the bicycles off the bus. I'll be leaving the Harley here so as to not subject it to the dust storms of the Burning Man playa, and I'll be coming back down to ride it north when I can. Both bicycles need maintenance before hitting the playa. Tonight we'll be contacting local friends, Rangers, and geocachers both here in the Tucson and in the Phoenix areas and spending time with them, hopefully. Then, off to California to visit more national parks and friends and family (#66).
