Yesterday was one of those almost-perfect days for riding; not too hot, not too cold so we took the Can-Ams out for the morning. We got suited up and I usually follow Hubbin, but yesterday he let me lead. I headed west until we got so rural that the road narrowed, then we turned south... Continue Reading →

It’s One of Those ‘Bunker’ Days
Hubbin and I spent a bit of time in our bunker this afternoon because of the hail and the Duncan warning siren blaring. Yes, we have a bunker for a storm/tornado shelter. Something like it was in the top five requirements of home ownership for me to move to the Midwest/South, and I'm mighty glad... Continue Reading →
Feeling the Urge to Write
It seems as if the only moments I take the time to put a halt to my busy day and write lately are when storms are a-brewing; today is no exception. I am on the patio, seeing the lightning flashes and hearing the thunder roll and it is peaceful to me, this weather, comforting in... Continue Reading →
Just Because I Planted My Strawberries…
This is the first storm I have gotten to watch from the patio this year, and what a storm it is! We are under a severe thunderstorm warning, which only tells me that it will be an impressive light show and that we might lose power. I'm prepared with battery packs and phone chargers. It...

Neil Diamond’s “Brother Love’s Traveling Salvation Show”
Ages ago, at the end of Summer and going into September, I took time off to drive up to Oregon to see my family. For some reason I felt I needed this trip to connect with my brother, but when I got there and called, he and his family were at a tent church revival... Continue Reading →
Busy Busi-ness
The importance of getting 'it' out there.
Neil Diamond and Butterfly Wings
Today was my birthday and I was reminiscing about last year's birthday celebration. I had gone to lunch with my girlfriend and her daughter before we drove down to the Carson River in Nevada to see if we could spot the wild horses that sometimes hung out there. My friend had given me a most... Continue Reading →
Chocolate and Other Important Thoughts
This morning's thoughts are rising to the surface of my consciousness through my first cup of coffee. I should be a commercial: "Brought to you by _______ (name of major brand of coffee here!), the stuff my blog is made of." So first things first. Chocolate. What does that bring to mind? Valentine's Day? A... Continue Reading →
