MERRY CHRISTMAS! It’s a desert kind of day, sunshine all around, chilly but OK, the only snow is up in the mountains. Feast and feeding going on next door at my sis’s in mid afternoon; along with the wish that everyone has a very Merry Christmas!

Sorry, I have Tourettes
It isn’t funny but it is. Riot never seems to slow down as he spins like a whirlwind on his way through the argumentative narrative that follows every command he doesn’t want to hear, and dances to his latest favorite song “I’m sexy and I know it” while he’s emitting an air of “I don’t give a damn what is going on over there, I’m over here.” Continue reading Sorry, I have Tourettes
We took a hike
and found a safe in the desert. It’s a floor model, almost as tall as me, with a combination lock, a Meilink, with the door ripped right off, laying about 10 feet from the safe. A compartment that fit inside the safe with individual cubicles (one that could be locked) was still in the safe. It was new decor for the normal garbage that is mostly dumped out on BLM (Bureau of Land Management) property where we walk. Continue reading We took a hike
A week?
A week has come and gone since my last post. How the hell? I managed to come down or wake up to something that shot my whole system out into space a mile or so high and then slammed me back down into a wolf spider hole in one neat little package. OUCH! I’ve been sick. Continue reading A week?
Happy Bird Day
It’s the time of year when all turkeys must fear for their lives and try to escape having to dress for the big feast that showcases their wonderful breasts and thighs. Continue reading Happy Bird Day
Barry Tanenbaum has left the game
Unfortunately for us Barry Tanenbaum won’t be back to grace a poker table with his always cheerful demeanor and clean, whole attitude about the game of poker. His last post on his website was in July 2009. Linda Johnson’s tribute to Barry is only a small picture of how much he meant to the poker world. The statement ‘the poker world’ may seem trivial to some but that is how we experience people when we are ‘in the game’ and those memories stick forever.
I knew Barry from dealing to both him and his wife, but not personally away from the table. All I can say is we need more players like him. RIP Barry.
China Ranch Date Farm and Tecopa
We were up and out of the house at 9 a.m. and on our way – we were in California within a few minutes (Yah, I live that close) and out over the scab lands and terrain that leads to Death Valley if we turned right and Tecopa if we turned left. When we hit the festival about 5 vendors in a parking lot of a hot springs resort that is quiet and unsophisticated was all there was to the whole production. There’s an office/art gallery of sorts and a ‘Bistro’ behind it in the parking lot too. Continue reading China Ranch Date Farm and Tecopa
Family and fun!
I’ve had company since Monday, it’s been great. Jennie and Rain are here from Springfield. It’s been an all girl kind of thing with 3 year old Rain pretty much calling the shots. You know how girls are, even little ones, they know everything and it’s their way or the highway. She’s a serious hoot! Continue reading Family and fun!
November Nine – The Heat is ON!
Today’s the day the boys come back to the Rio and try to come out of the thick of battle as the last one standing! It will be exciting! It will be monumental for the one that takes down the championship. I’m thinking Ben Lamb!
Winter has come to the high desert
Everyone in Pahrump is either high or wishes they were and they live in the desert. OK, never mind. I doubt the average is high enough to include everyone. Point is it’s colder than a well digger’s ass at night right now. Continue reading Winter has come to the high desert
