Double sundogs this morning, that usually means something great will happen soon, or at least it will be a good day.

The skinny and the fat

The skinny at the local USPO

You have your mail forwarded to you at General Delivery Quartzite, AZ

You show up at the PO near the junction between ten am and four pm.

Go to the small barred window alongside the PO and stand in line (a long line sometimes)

When it is your turn, you hand them your drivers’ license, or maybe picture id.

If you have mail they give you your DL and mail ( I think, as I haven’t got my mail yet)

The fat

I saw the most amazingly fat woman at the PO this afternoon. She was so fat that she had to lean back maybe at a twenty-degree angle to keep from over balancing forward. The effort to take each step was enormous and it took her forever to get across the driveway of the parking lot. It was truly hard not to stare, as it was so amazing.

Just how hot is it?

I don’t really know yet, but I found the most amazing product at a ‘discount’ food store. Actually it is a fairly large tent that sells dented cans and such. I was cruising around looking at the hot sauces and trying to determine just what some of the stuff was, as a lot of the items were from Mexico and everything was in Spanish. Sometimes they would have ingredients in both English and Mex. I came across a tube of hot pepper paste form Italy. How cool it is. It comes in a box and the tube is just like tooth paste. I just had to have a tube of it to try. It says that it needs to be refrigerated after opening but I will just put it out at night with the other cold stuff and put it in the cooler during the day. Well there was quite a discussion at the checkout counter about just what you could do with it. My theory was just spread a little on the sandwich, others thought that was way too much and were of the theory that it should be diluted like a little in a pot of beans or something. I am supposed to come back and report to the checkout lady if I survive and how it tastes. When I got home I just had to try it out and opened the tube and put a little on my finger for a taste. Oh, it is going to be good I can tell. I did buy a jar of organic tomato sauce and a dented can of tomato and green chilies to go with it if it needs diluting.

Report—it is good stuff. I did mix in a little green chilies and tomato on bread with cheese and ham. It was OK!!! The green chilies were very mild and that paste really spruced it up. I gotta go back……for more and report in…

Two Moons!!!!

A most enjoyable full moon last night. The moon was coming in the copula on the pod and hitting right on my face when I woke up last night about 1 am or so. I got up and Ely and I went out for a walk in the desert. There was no wind and wasn’t cold at all with my heavy Icelandic sweater on. It was so bright out it was almost like snow.

This morning as I was getting the last of the puppy chow out for Ely (man she just rolled though that bag) I happened to look up and see this gal  pull down her pants  to piddle. This little car had pulled up in the night and stopped out in the middle of the bunch of us campers. It was just first light and I guess she thought everyone was still safely ensconced in their trailers. So, it was a two moon morning, I am not sure just what that means, but I will be careful all day.

I will go check my mail soon and if I get my mail I will beat feet outta here. I just have to get away form this campground life. I need to get out and do some shooting and some peace and quiet. The campground is about three miles form the main east west freeway and you can hear it all night as well as the highway traffic only a mile away.
