RV Blog--Life in a Box. This just ain't 'camping' any more....

Hubby had to work this morning! Oh, boy! 6 hours of overtime to spend foolishly...gee, maybe I'll go crazy and make an extra payment on something!

Our daughter called last nite, with just minutes to talk... What a busy person! I need to go see our mutual doctor and get me some of whatever she's taking that's energizing her! LOL! "Whisper Down" sounds like they're picking up a 'following'! At least, they seem to have several 'gigs' lined up. And her hubby has his own mike, now! He is singing backup to her lead! Which, is the way they both like it! :)

I remain glued to the news coverage, still trying to make sense of the federal f*** up in the Gulf States. What I've gleaned so far is that they put FEMA in with a bunch of other agencies, under the auspices of the great and powerful HOMELAND SECURITY--and so anyone trying to get into the devastated area to help those poor people had to be frisked, checked out and thoroughly wrapped in red tape first! Which would also explain the fact that foreign rescue efforts appear to have been thwarted.... In the immortal words of Charley Brown--"Good grief!"

And then there's the part where they sent a plane load of African Americans from the Deep South off to live in UTAH!!! A reporter asked one guy what he had thought when he saw the mountains in the background. He said, "I thought they were fake." These poor folks mostly intend to make their homes there! None of them has any clue what Winter is like. Down here, it's a 'cold snap' when the day's high is below 70 degrees and the low is below 55. And, will the Feds be standing by to load those frozen people back into a plane and fly them South again in January????

Enough musing. Got laundry to hang out. Life goes on....

Hubby found out that he gets to go in for hernia repair next week! I'm beginning to think that the main reason we're stuck in FL is simply for the medical facilities. For a man who never went to the doctor, he's made up for it in the last 18 months!

Meanwhile, we wait for "Ophelia" to dump lotso rain on us....

Just a bit of early morning musing.... This is what happens when Florida Refuse picks up the dumpster across the street--at 4 AM, when hubby has to get up at 4:30 AM to go into work an hour early....

Gasoline shortage? There isn't a gasoline shortage. Just thousands and thousands of Floridians, buying up all the gas cans in the state and then rushing out to fill them.... Yesterday's gas prices were all over the map, from $2.75 on up. I can't help wondering just how happy those folks are with their SUVs now... Sure am glad we don't need to take our show on the road any time soon! We're still reeling from the $118 it took to put diesel fuel in the big yellow bird on Saturday!

The good news is that the long weekend starts today and we don't have to leave our air-conditioned 'box' for 3 days! LOL! Except, of course, to go out and rent movies, since there is still nothing on the networks but re-runs.

Is that one amazing looking tatoo on Wentworth whatsisname on "Prison Break?" What's really scary...I've seen a few like it that were the real deal! Just spend a week in South Dakota some August..... Or Daytona Beach in early March....
