Chased by wild boars

Jenna returns to the trailer panting, having run home for several blocks with Denby.

She heard rustling in the bushes. Dog started barking. Then the sound of scuffling. And snorts!

Javelinas!

Bruce goes back out with her to see them too. Nothing.

Maybe next time.

Great RV show

We went to an RV show today in Phoenix. We really this model, tho the car is a little small for us.

PS We are instituting a subscription fee for this blog. But you can use your receipts as admission to our new motorhome.

All clear. We still here

Reports of our departure are premature. Waters subsided with no threat to our location.

Not so in other places, but we weren't there.

Elvis was not found on the bank after all. He's still on the moon.

Rain rain. Will we go away?

Excitement fills the Brod trailer!

The Weather Service warns of flooding for the Agua Fria River one block from their trailer park!! Seven feet above flood stage says the Weather Service!!!

Will the Brods flee their comfortable campsite for the perils of town, which sits higher than their current location?!!!!

Stay tuned for the next exciting blog entry!!!!!

Elvis found on river bank!!!!!!

I Hate Computers

I admit that I belong to the majority of Americans regardless of age who hate computers. Reasons abound. Case in point.

We listen to several public radio stations over the Internet, yet another bonus of our satellite systems. Today we’re working in the trailer, sitting out the rare rain day here in AZ. For some reason I can only connect to a few stations.

After a few attempts, I connect to http://www.coastradio.org/ in Astoria, OR. We listen for a while, then lose the connection. I poke Media Player for a while, then somehow bring up their playlist.

We listen for another hour or so. Gee, I can name a lot of those songs, even owned the CDs. After a while, Jenna says, “Maybe the DJ bought the CDs we sold (in Eugene OR).” :>

The music continues, familiar still. At last, I look at the web site, wondering who is playing that music. Oh yeah, they have two stations on that web site.

So I look at the player again, for the name of the site of the music stream. Huh, I see the album cover on the screen?!

I look at the play list again and realize, for the first time, that I’m playing a random selection of the 200 CDs I recorded on the hard drive (and sold in Eugene).

Which is why I hate computers.

Bruce

PS Never mind pointing out that I worked with computer systems for 15 years. I know the enemy well.

Bradshaw Mtn RV Park in Black Canyon, AZ

And so we arrive at our chosen RV park north of Phoenix, preparing for next month’s knee slice-and-dice.

Oh, the joys of unlimited electricity, free of frequent trips to the truck bed to start or stop one or both generators.

Microwave popcorn – Lord how long it’s been.

And water…so much water going in and out of our home without a second thought.

Is this a grand country or what? God save George W. Bush! May he reign forever!!
