I’ve grown up with that American Food tradition… Hamburger, Fries, and Coke. Most of the time I shared some fries with Bernie and Chris. For over 40 years, as I recall, the fries were tasty and crunchy. However, these days I find them less tasty and limp. The dogs liked them fine. It started that …

Sunday (update from Saturday ‘experience’)
On Saturday, I locked myself out of my car. Blog entry “A funny thing happened on the way to Jerome, AZ” provided details. I went to Home Depot, and now I have a spare key that I placed in a magnetic box attached to the trailer hitch. I won’t be locked out of the car …
A funny thing happened on the way to Jerome, AZ
It wasn’t funny, and we never made it to Jerome. With Jerome, Arizona as the destination, my planning had been meticulous. The calculated route included both fuel and dog relief stops.

Did Chris herd Bernie?
A few days before Thanksgiving, before the weather turned quite cold and dawn lost its normal dramatic color, I saw Chris herd Bernie. So surprised I didn’t think to take a photo. It happened this way. Twice each day my dogs liked to explore the desert. Our current spot provided many opportunities. There existed hundreds …
Dog food bowls and other issues
Three weeks ago, I realized Chris started eating from Bernie’s food bowl. The first couple of times I wasn’t concerned. Chris was a fussy eater. There were a few days he did not touch his food. He’s five years old. Chris was a Christmas gift from a friend, thus his name. When I received him, …
Three years ago, I was wrong
On June 1, 2018, I discovered being wrong three years ago. Considering the amount of time and trouble I encountered; I remain excited being proven wrong. Well, although I’m not happy proven wrong ─ I’m still excited. The adventure began in June 2015 when I strolled through the desert with my dogs, Bernie and Chris. …
Prescott, Arizona
Saturday morning, at nine, we drove up and nose-in-parked in front of the Prescott post office. Although scheduled to visit in April, it was now October 27, 2018. I leashed Bernie and Chris and posed them in front of Rotary’s sign. “Prescott, Founded 864 on Granite Creek. Early …
Adventure Update: October 19, 2018
It’s time to recap what we have been doing. The weekend approached, and I have no plans. The weather remained to be a very nice 68 degrees at 3 am, with cool mornings the last few days. I’ve had to change from summer clothes of a T-shirt, shorts, sox, and loafers. Now, people look hard …
What’s This?
It’s about my latest adventure, trekking with Bernie and Chris. Bernie is the Goldendoodle (GoldenRetriever/Poodle), and Chris is a Red Standard Poodle. That stagecoach in the background is as stated, “Very 1st RV to arrive in Arizona”. How did it all happen? It’s too long and varied and too …
What really happens…
It’s six o’clock on Tuesday morning. Bernie and Chris are in the car, and we are going to the desert. Over our heads hang black storm clouds. Lightning flashes in the north and rolling thunder follows. If the normal weather pattern continues, I’ve about thirty minutes before the downpour reaches us. Our exercise desert spot …
