DAY 258

 

Today was sunny and very warm. The afternoon sun out here in the Sonoran Desert is hot !

We got a late, lazy start to the day. We often sleep in late on days when we're not travelling. We had a nice breakfast, enjoyed some sunshine, read today's newspaper, and firmed up our travel plans for March. We gave Bo a bit of a hair trim on his face. We couldn't see his eyes any more because of the long cascading hair on his face and head. The haircut didn't go particularly well <snicker >. Now we call him Funny Face Bo. I spent an entire long afternoon, and part of the evening, reviewing, sorting, and taking action on January's mail, which we just received when we got here. Dealing with a whole month's worth of mail all at once takes a long time. Much of tomorrow will also be taken up with taking action on the incoming mail. This evening I went to the club house, got online, retrieved e-mail, updated my blog, and retrieved updated investment data, which I'll work on tomorrow as well. Sometimes I seem awfully busy for an unemployed guy. After supper we watched The Apprentice on TV. Goodbye, Audrey.

When I walked Bo late in the evening I couldn't help but notice what a nice warm night it was, and how bright the stars are. We've noticed before how bright the stars are out here in the desert. I wonder if that's got something to do with how many scientific observatories seem to be located here in the desert areas. Does the low humidity, and absence of air pollution, make for clearer night skies ? Bo is happier here than in the last few places we were at. The ground has changed from gravel, with Goat’s Head Cactus needle clusters all over, to smooth, clean, hard packed sand.
