I can see now that spending a month in the wilderness makes it impossible to keep up a diary on line. I don't give up easily, so eventually February, all 28 or 29 days as the case may be, (oh I guess 28) will show up as a great mass of meaningless words at some point in time. I am writing every day, and trying to keep it short, but I can't face any more hunting and pecking in this nice cafe in Ajo Arizona, so I will return to the wilderness for the time being.... Hasta la vista.
