It's Back!

Just a few minutes ago I ran through all three cable "news" channels to check on the obsession of the day. All three channels were covering live a press conference in New Orleans featuring the Governor of Louisiana and some big shot from the FBI.

It's a New Year! Ohh Boy!!

I have to admit, I'm not that excited about a new year, at least, not yet. Maybe the excitement will ramp up after the smell of gunpowder from the fireworks goes away Smile .

But, Spring will soon be on the way and that's exciting to me, things are growing even now. We've had one of the least rainy seasons here in the PacNW since records started. Despite what some people (Hi, Mom!) are saying, it really is not as rainy as normal here. Maybe that means I'll have to mow the fields earlier :). Or that could change, we've got most of the winter to get through still. It's muddy and wet out there now, for sure.

Good morning everyone.
The new year is upon us. I've made a resolution to lose some weight.
It's been creeping up on me for a few years now, since I retired in 2004. I really need to get back out on the road.
So, E2 and I have decided to commit to one last adventure, driving the Alcan Hiway in our little Toyota mini-motorhome.
