The Wheels On The Truck Go Round And Round

Drove to Denver in a snow storm yesterday and the highway I traveled on was so wet and slushy I fishtailed the truck all over the road at one point. Later I watched an SUV driving toward me suddenly cut across my lane and off the highway. I wondered what he was doing at the time because I did not remember a side road being where he turned. As I got closer I realized he hadn't turned off the highway onto a side road but instead had slid off the highway. Be the time I reached him he had already driven out of the ditch and continued on his way.

To give you and idea of just how icy the roads were I had my sister take the images below. The first one is of the front wheel of the driver's side of the truck. That side of the truck was the side that got heavyly splashed with road slush every time a big semi roared past me. The second image is the back wheel on the driver's side.





Beautiful, aren't they?

Hey, Mickey!

Oh, Mickey
You're so fine
You're so fine
You blow my mind
Hey Mickey!




My sister Tara sent me this photo of the both of us back in 1990 when we spent the day at Disney World in Florida. We are standing in front of Mickey Mouse's house where I fell in love with a big fluffy overstuffed chair Mickey has in his living room. Mickey has great taste.

I Now Have A New Laptop

Will it make my life easier? Nah, this version puts all the ports right at the side edges closest to the front of the computer when you are typing. This is because the design team used what I call "Nobody (meaning them) really plugs in a mouse anymore so lets put the ports we are being forced to include in descending order of use"  thinking. This means when you plug in your mouse the plug is right in the way when you try to use the damn thing.

I know, I know, I could get a wireless mouse (which need batteries that run down) or leap into the 21 century and buy a i Pad (never) or some other type of tablet. Sorry, no can do. I like a real keyboard and I would hook up a typewriter to the Internet if I could. Now that's a real typing machine.

And The Sun At Night


Driving westward at sundown can be an adventure this time of year.
