Yesterday, an older man with a Class C camper pulled into the campground. He stared at me and said, “Are you alone, too?” I could tell he was a retired guy just out wandering like me, so I said, “Yep”. We talked and decided to meet up later and share the evening campfire. He is…
Well, it is late fall and freezing temps are expected. Tango and I slept peacefully, with the camper heater on only a few times. It is sunny and beautiful today, so the solar panel is recharging the battery, which the heater fan runs it down. I am getting ahead of the story. I left Wheatland…
I love this information from Think Progress: “This year, Halloween candy sales could top $2.5 billion this year across the United States, with chocolate being the heavy favorite for most consumers. The problem, apart from tooth decay and the consequences of high-sugar diets, is that many of the candies Americans will be consuming in large quantities contain…
Meghan is awesome–so smart and kind. I love seeing Kerry and her together. I was given the choice for where to have dinner and picked Thai. Then, we bought pumpkins at a street corner lot (like a Christmas Tree lot). Next up was a board game. I so rarely have “family time” like that, so…
This morning I set out for Denver to see Kerry and meet Meghan! So excited. Kerry worked a late shift last night so I don’t need to get there until around 11 AM. I will make us brunch and then later we meet up with Meghan. Here is my favorite photo so far of them,…
What do Michigan, New York, Ohio, Massachusetts, and Missouri have in common? Car dealers and auto lobbies in those states are trying to keep the electric cars from being sold there. Not sure where to start with this one. Economics 101: Free enterprise? Competition? Capitalism? And, weren’t you guys bailed out a few years ago…
The wolf drama continues. Feds restored protection for Wyoming wolves, although they did not relist them as endangered. Previously, in 2012, the wolves were removed from the endangered species list and management of the packs was turned over to Wyoming Game and Fish. What happened? The Federal Judge does not believe that Wyoming will maintain…
At night, I snuggled into my blankets with my transistor radio. The lighted dial provided a soothing glow under the covers. I was supposed to be sleeping, but how could I when the new Beatles songs were playing over and over? I learned today that the transistor radio was also born in 1954 and is…

Last night, while camping, I awoke at 1 AM. I decided to get up, go outside, and stretch. Zowie! The dark, clear sky allowed me to view billions of stars. It was one of those nights where other parts of the Milky Way are visible. This morning I woke up in the camper just as…
