1) It rains a helluva lot more than you might think. It rains hard for a real short time. One morning it hailed.
2) Snakes and scorpions aren't as prevalent as you might think. I didn't see one of either species, and it wasn't for lack of trying. I scoured the place and didn't see even a squirt scorpion or snake.
3) Dry heat is better than humid heat. They're right, it's not the heat, it is the humidity.
4) You learn quick to get used to the smell of your own stink.
5) Space is deceiving. So is size. Something, like a butte, looks close, then when you start walking towards it you learn it's just real big and far away. Outer space must be like this.
6) Nature doesn't give a damn if we live or die as a species. Today's ocean bed will someday be a desert, and we'll either still be around or we'll be fossils.
7) All that space can suck up a lot--sound, thought, bad memories.
8) Rice and tuna ain't bad, even after the fourth or fifth day.
9) A cheeseburger with tortilla chips and a cold beer makes for a pretty good gourmet meal.
10) I've got no business in the east anymore.
