How Lovely Indeed


With a to-do list from here to Tucson, was happy to have some time to re-do above. Taken from the I-10 shoulder south of Picacho Peak after a radiator rupture heading to Catalinas. Proverbial best of bad situation as I waited for AAA service. They towed me back to the base of Picacho - I'd just stopped nearby for a pop. Waited a while for the report. Late afternoon. Could I get back on the road and make camp before sundown?

Nope. Couldn't get a replacement radiator until morning and too far gone for safe addition of the sealing solutions, as if they'd work with so much plastic involved. So, got transported by station owner to motel for overnight. Catalina trek falling by wayside. Fairly decent accommodations but absolutely nothing going on in Arizola.

Did get going again later the next morning for cityscaping. I lost interest rather quickly and headed home a day earlier than planned. That budget was shot is understatement.

Upon looking at the photos, liked this a lot. But a buggaboo! Caught in one of the creosotes was a white critter! I jest... grocery bag. Not so bad considering turtles and other living creatures getting strangled by them. Hey; I use them all the time but dispose of them in the recycle bin where they can be used for baby bottles, right?

Anyway, a fix-up with Francesca. (Airbrushed the offending debris.) We're communicating fairly well, war stories and all. She gave me a good one. Has to do more mopping up! We'll see what we can't do about that. There's a fellow frequents the hideout with much industrial hygienic experience. He might have a lead on a scooting floor mini-squeegee appuratumente. See them in other busy stores. She has to put up with a lot of impossible stuff, but gets it done good. I've loved her a while but last night I got to really like her since I had to get over anger about phonies and you never know. We'll see how it goes but I wouldn't bet the farm.

Heavenly Father: We thank You for such a blessing of such a friend. Be with her in all the frays of the circumstance and help her cope well, well, in the well. No joke, Lord... please protect her and strengthen her to carry on in sometimes difficult circumstances. Support her in her endeavors and help me to be a fair and honest colleague as we grow closer and take things as they come by dint of Your will of us. We ask this in Jesus' name and hold You up as the Author of our encounter. Amen.
