things I learned this weekend, or if I did not learn them anew, they were reinforced as true

The desert is sublimely beautiful.
Do not forget your goggles at home.
Shooting roman candles back and forth at other people in the dark is fun.
How to shoot a gun.
Turn right at the old wrecked car. No, not that one.
Don't drink TOO much. Just drink a lot.
Eating is unnecessary when you have the nutritious calories of beer.
I simply must do this more often.
