Wednesday pm
It has been a few days since my last post, but I didn't want to bore you with our day-to-day existance. Well, maybe I will.
We have had a couple of exciting events: I went to the grocery store twice, rented two DVDs from Blockbuster, took my car to get the A/C fixed again, took the motorhome to get the rear A/C replaced (still doesn't work after $1,100), and found an inside air conditioned mall for Bev to shop at while I entertained myself by reading Cold Moon by Jeffery Deaver (very good book).
Don't know when we are going to get away from here. Bev's medical appointments have concluded, but there is still the matter of the neuropathy in my feet. I need to find out the results of my blood test and talk to the doctor. He didn't give me much hope last time and I doubt if that is going to change. He actually said it may be idiosyncratic (which I took to mean that only idiots got it, but he explained that it actually means they don't know what the hell causes it!!).
Anyway, we would really like to abandon the "Valley of the Sun" as it is called here, and go elsewhere. I am thinking of the great northwest (maybe Idaho, Montana, or the like), but my sweet little travelling companion is making noises about home. AND, you know who generally wins those debates! But, before we go anywhere, I am taking the motorhome back and get this*%##%@&* A/C fixed or you will see me on the evening news followed by an episode of "Doctor G".
Since some readers have commented favorably on the pictures, I thought I might include a few more. That is me at my blog station and Bev at her duty station. The temperatures were measured at 5:00pm and from left to right are : outside (114, in the shade); bathroom (102, giving a new meaning to "being on the hot seat"); back bedroom (105, no A/C right now); cold water (104, has been as high as 110); and front living area (89, typical). And there is a photo of the portable A/C (AKA "Lifesaver") which I fortunately purchased before we left Florida. I might mention that the measurements were made with highly accurate engineering thermometers.
I hope you enjoyed my 'lack of' news report. Send some comments, guys and gals. You, too, can have your posts on the internet to be read by anybody world wide!! (BTW, is anybody at Hernando Oaks getting this??)
My favorite country song titles continued: "I Gave Her a Ring and She Gave Me the Finger"

Hi Preston, There certainly are Hernando Oaks people reading your blog. Bev's results certainly are a mixed bag for you. Let's hope someone can manage her pain so she can get back to her normal activities. We all miss you both.
Charley Heitkamp has left the club so the Copperheads are down one but we may pick up a new one. Meanwhile the rest of us are preparing to clobber the ballbusters next weekend and move back to second and maybe first place.
Have a safe trip whether you go north or come back east.
Preston and Bev -- Thanks so much for sending the info. We share it with Pat and Bob Beres who are very happy to hear news about you. Going to the airconditioned mall was a great thing to do -- also going to the airconditioned movies might be a thought. We're thinking of getting out of Florida for a week - too hot and steamy!
