Crystal & Brent

Indio, California: Another warm day in the Coachella Valley. The sky was filled with clouds most of the day, but the temperatures were still in the low 70's... which I am guessing is probably higher than the temperatures from where you are reading this blog. Dang, if I don't love the Palm Springs area in January.

I wrote a few days ago that a crew was digging to China in front of our bus. The job seems to be finished - except for the re-landscaping.

I am not an engineer. I am not a scientist. I am not a landscaper. I am not even a biologist. My non-educated guess is this pump thingy controls the water flow between the "waterfall" (in the right top corner of the photo) and the pond.

According to this non-engineer, the pump failed and was replaced with this fancy pretty blue thing.

Even if I am wrong... something was broken and has been repaired.

Either way, the waterfall is falling and all is right in the trailer park.

DT and I tried a new jogging routine today. We ran around a half-mile loop in the campground. He ran and ran. I walked the curves and ran the near-quarter-mile straights. This is a great work-out for me. Loved it.

Just a few people were laughing.

Of course, my exercise was completely for nothing, as DT decided he needed to have lunch at Jake's Pizza.

New York-style pizza? Sure. Everyone has tried New York pizza.

Chicago-style pizza? Sure. Everyone knows about Chicago-style pizza.

Minnesota-style pizza? Say what? If you can get a hamburger pizza - go for it! We have this pizza once a year, whether we need it or not.

Have you missed the Magna Peregrinus? Here she is, camped at the Motorcoach Country Club in Indio.

Several campers stopped by today and commiserated about the Rose Bowl. One guy asked if we had "watched" the Rose Bowl. I told him "we WENT to the Rose Bowl". He offered his condolences. Interestingly enough, the RV resort is filling-up with Longhorn and Alabama fans for the game at the Rose Bowl Thursday. The RV industry must love college football!

Another beautiful sunset in the desert.

Tonight we invited Readers Crystal & Brent (from Dallas, Texas) for cocktails. They are camped here at the Motorcoach Country Club and are just the most enjoyable couple!

Dang, I'm short.

Crystal and Brent enjoyed our heated tile floors and we enjoyed their company! So sweet and funny and kind and smart. Thank you, Dear Friends, for stopping in tonight.

Until my next update, I remain, your humble correspondent.
