Travel
I wanted to change the header picture but had a lot of trouble - couldn't get a picture description without messing everything else up. I like this particular photo because it looks like one of the swans called a meeting of the flock (or whatever a group of swans is called).
I had planned to do a recap of my trip as well as my feelings about driving, camping, etc., in the various parts of the country. I think I will wait until I get back to CA though, since my return trip will be in the south and will no doubt present different conclusions. I've loved it all so far.
So far I've been resting and being lazy, but if the weather is good tomorrow I think I'll drive to Hyde Park and visit Eleanor Roosevelt's cottage. Another day I need to get an oil change, and still another to find two new tires.

- Holiday Weekend
I have no current plans to do much of anything this weekend. I did get an early start to the day by driving to the farmers' market. It doesn't take me long because I have a couple of favorite farmers - one that is totally organic and...
- Do-nothing Saturday
I'm going to laze around today, although I did go to the farmers market about an hour ago. It occurred to me while driving to the market, that I have vision problems, can't hear some sounds as well as I used to, am trying to gain weight...
- Bad News And Good News
I'll do the bad first. I rolled into Fargo, ND with a flapping back tire. Called AAA and they said something about having a repair service come over and put on that little donut tire for me so that I could drive it to the shop. That...
