I don’t have the answer, but I know I will miss something. Saturday we will travel to Yuma, Arizona. I’m interested in why people originally settled there and why people continue to live there. I’m interested in the real stories, not just statistics. I’ll only be there for a few hours, and the area is …

What’s in a name?
Arizona has some interesting town names. Some, like New River, have reasonable explanations. New River was a seasonal wash from the Agua Fria River system. In 1868 the site was selected for a stagecoach stop. “We dressed up in authentic western clothes and Jim, and his best man went outside and had a mock gunfight. …
Sometimes I surprise myself
Maybe it’s because it’s Spring? Maybe I just had more energy than usual? I’m not sure, but this morning at ten-fifteen on March 26 I have accomplished more in the last twenty-four hours than I’ve sometimes accomplished in a week… or even two weeks. It started about two Sunday afternoon. As I watered the two …
Bumblebee – the name that stung
A photo of Bernie and Chris at the Very 1st RV to arrive in Arizona. It is located in Sunflower RV Resort, Surprise, Arizona. I decided to explore some nearby historical Arizona towns. Saturday, we traveled about an hour to Bumble Bee, Arizona. I was told it’s a ghost town just off I-17, the …
Just sharing…
I’ve got plans for Saturday that begin in about five hours. We are going to do some exploring up Interstate 17. Two small towns within an hour or two could be interesting. At least I hope so. I’ve found my original plan just to pick a place and go… doesn’t work for me. Folks tell …
ATWT
It’s the second day of Spring. March 21, 2018, greets me at four in the morning with 59 degrees. “As the world turns” faintly echoes as I wake. Sometimes that’s how my mind works. I’ll have several disjointed thoughts rattling around, and suddenly they assemble to a single statement. ATWT is short for As The …
Completely Unorganized
That’s me. It’s three-thirty with 56 degrees on Monday, March 19, 2018, and I am completely unorganized. Oh, I’ve been that way for about a week. I’m just finally recognizing it. Have you ever been in that situation? Sure, you have. I believe I backed into it. I was humming along with my routine life. …
Dateland article
When I told my friend, Nancy, I was going to visit Dateland, she said to be sure to have a DateShake. She caught me by surprise. She lives in Ireland, so how did she know about the Dateshake. Nancy explained that when she traveled from San Diego to Scottsdale, Arizona, they had to go through …
Test (I am testing to share a blog post)
New post on Stare of the Dog All Parts Machine Washable by Stareofthedog This week’s ‘Stare of the Dog’ will doubtless have the non-dog owning fraternity laughing bellicose wails of derision. A laughter made at the expense of ‘saps like me who have probably become way too soft of late. It is a story of canine comfort and …
Short update
It’s going to be a very long day. Right now, it’s only 1:49 an hour after midnight. What I’m a bit surprised at is the temperature of 60 degrees. Has our winter is easing off, and the warmth of summer has begun? It’s Thursday, March 8, 2018. Time for an update on what’s happening with …
