THE BIGGEST LITTLE CITY

Our drive down Hwy 395 from Susanville, CA to Reno, didn't take very long, as it's only about 100 miles. We pulled into the Silver Sage RV Park at a little after noon, and got hooked up for what will probably be just 2 nights. We both have been putting off some of our necessary chores, so we spent yesterday afternoon cleaning, me on the outside, and Patty on the inside. She also got some laundry done, including our bed sheets. By the time we were both finished, it was time for some dinner, so we walked across the street to the Peppermill Hotel/Casino, and had an OK meal. During the evening, I telephoned my 2 favorite ex in-laws, my sister-in-law Claudia in Phoenix to get my brother-in-law Marty's phone number. Marty is here in Reno for the air races, and we agreed to meet at the airport today. We were last at the air races about 20 years ago, and have vowed to return ever since. It seems that we were always someplace else, or doing something else, but this year, we built the races into our travel plans.
