here’s a little story

A camper was up on the Kaibab plateau in northern Arizona. The last day in July, a Sunday, he got up, feeling good, and started the day off with an early morning one-hour run along the AZ Trail. In the afternoon, he felt a pain across the top of his chest, moving towards his right shoulder. The camper didn’t want to, but thought it best to drive down to the emergency room in Kanab, UT; the pain was increasing. It took an hour and he barely made it. He must have looked pretty bad when he shuffled through the doors because two staff workers got up and met him half way. So far, really no big thing. The camper’s upper right arm started turning red during the last 20 minutes or so of the drive. The doctor diagnosed shingles. The camper said the redness was NOT what brought him in here. Then the upper arm started discoloring as we sat there watching. The doctor admitted the camper overnight for strep throat (positive for strep A), shingles, and dehydration. The next morning, cellulitis wa...

I’m sure I’ve mentioned somewhere on these pages that I like park model trailers. If I ever regress to wanting a house, this is the route I would go. Park models are built on a trailer chassis, registered as RVs, and are limited to 400 sq. ft. They can be moved from time to time but they are designed to be used, pretty much, in one spot. The photo is of their Wedge model. This site also has some pretty cool units: http://smallhousebliss.com/category/small-prefab-and-modular-houses/ I was reading ‘World Ark,’ the Heifer International magazine, and there was an article about a small village in Nepal. The women make two 3-hour hikes each day, to haul water for their families and animals. There is a 5,000’ elevation difference from down where the water is, back up to the mountaintop village. Unreal. And forget about holidays and sick days. I’ve heard of similar stories—but 5,000’! I bet the husbands in this village never piss-off their wives. Theresa and David ...

pack, move and new home

Never thought to take a photo from this angle. Might give you a better perspective of my acre and Timberon. Have not had so much rain since I got here in 2017. Sure a lot of nice looking green on the acre. Temps in the 50s at night and upper 70s to mid 80s during the day, Pretty nice for August. I had no intention of buying a new trailer this year. Had put the new registration tag on the Nash’s license plate. I accessed a number of websites that rated the best 4-season travel trailers. Northwood Arctic Fox was on every list. Hence the trip to Deming in April. When I pulled into the park, I noticed an Arctic Fox, although a longer model than what I wanted. Found out a friend had recently purchased it. The next day I talked with her about her trailer. She was so excited with the Fox. I felt glad for her, brought a smile to my face, is the best RV she has ever owned, by far. Like me, it will probably be her last. We’re goin’ out in style. The trailer was awesome. The first Arctic Fo...
