It has been an interesting past few months...

I have been on the road. Recently I drove 3150 miles from Petaluma, California to Orlando, Florida.

Highlights of the trip were:

1. The wind farm in Palm Springs, CA.

2. The landscapes around Chochise Stronghold, AZ

3. Seeing a pal in Houston.

4. An hour in a wholly rebuilt Tombstone. Actually the Birdcage Theater there is original.

5. Awesome flowering cacti in the Sonoran Desert in Arizona.

6. A hike in Castle Crags State Park near Yreka, California. Yreka. It is just so fun to say. Like that Battle from WWI, Ypres. We need more double constanant sounds beginning with Y.

7. Watching Pelicans cruise for fish when traffic on the Mobile, Alabama bridge was stopped when a car burst into flames. I was surprised how agile the big, big pelicans are.

8. The nap I'm about to take.

9. Finding out that my Great-grandfather was a watermelon farmer. Just one of several hats he wore. Also, a Great Uncle let on that during the Great Depression, he drove a 1937 dodge from south Mississippi all the way to the Alaskan goldfields!
