Garmen Alert
We May be the only ones, but we get amused sending the Garmen directional program into fits of spasms, getting her lost on country roads and letting her plot her way out. Only yesterday it happened entirely by accident. We werehighway driving through a construction zone detour and she is jabbering about staying on the…
Read MoreRoad Trip
We always see the most amazing things as we drive across the country. Today aside from a car 🚘 on Fire 🔥 on the side of the road with rescue workers fighting back the blaze, we saw a helicopter swooping over fields of corn 🌽 obviously checking on things. We had wonderful weather, many courteous…
Read MoreAnniversary
Today is my parents wedding anniversary. They were lucky enough to find one another in their early twenties, during their undergraduate years and somehow managed to fight together through the storms of life. Obviously I am very glad they managed,but I am also grateful for the the example of commitment, devotion, and compromise. Congratulations to…
Read MoreMosquitoes
If mosquitoes sucked fat instead of blood, how many of us would lie down and let them take all they wanted? On the other hand, there are people who do not have any body fat to spare… they would be victims of these fat sucking monsters.
Read MorePoisoning the Skeeters
I did not include those small bloodsuckers in my NewEarth world because I do not think they deserve the attention. What a pest they are, even discounting the diseases and health risks, just based on pure annoyance, they are a menace. It is not going to hurt my feelings to poison them and wipe them…
Read MoreWeight Limits
I am a big person, come from big people, and we have very little guilt about it, unlike some other big people who spend their lives apologizing and starving themselves to fit in someone else’s idea of size, but I digress. This rant is about weight limits. Why would they have a 200 lb weight…
Read MoreFolding houses
I am showing my age, but do you remember the Jetson’s with their compact cars etc? We were talking about those cool engineered houses where you basically park and hit the button, run like hell to get out of the way, and the house forms; walls, roof, steps, porch, and everything. They are amazing, but…
Read MoreSelf-cleaning Fridge
The fridge needs to be cleaned out… one of my least favorite chores, but putting that off won’t make it more pleasant, that’s for sure. Did you ever wonder why we don’t have self-cleaning fridges? I need one with a fridge frog, able to consume unwanted foods, liquids and spit out containers ready to be…
Read MorePacking and Planning
Yesterday, I joyfully released the 5th book of the NewEarth Series to walk alone in the world. Last night, Shawn and I celebrated and went out for a wonderful dinner. Today we shopped and got things ready for our trip. We leave on Wednesday. First to see my parents, drop off Jethro and mosey on…
Read MoreBook 5 update
Still no approval to move onward to the next step, so we continue to wait. This is the hard unpredictable part of it all and the reason it is impossible for me to say it will all go through on a given date unless I set the date way ahead. Be patient, I will visually…
