IT'S SOOOOO SLOW


One of the things I like about parking here in the desert is that there's no hurry to do much of anything in the morning. There's lots to see and do, once you get into town where the big tent, and all of the flea markets are located, but there's no urgency to get there. I'm still an early riser, usually getting up somewhere around 5:30. Patty isn't far behind, and we've both been watching the beautiful Arizona sunrise through the motor home's windshield.

This morning, I'm still trying to load a picture with not much success. As I write this, it's been 27 minutes and counting, as a picture of Sami & Gracie is trying to make its way from my computer to Goggle, then back here to the motor home, so I can post it to the blog, then send the whole shooting match back to Goggle. Sound confusing, well it is! When you stop to think of the technology involved, it almost blows your mind! I have no idea how that all happens, particularly when it all happens through the air. I suspect folks thought that television was magic when that technology was developing over a half century ago. Hey, the picture just made it back, and it only took 36 minutes! To say that my Internet connection is slow would be a classic understatement.

Yesterday afternoon, we finished walking through the Tyson Wells Flea Market, and came home with a few fleas that needed a home. This morning, our friends Bob & Diana are riding their motorcycles down from Lake Havasu, and we'll introduce them to the Big Tent, plus a few other happenings here in Quartzsite.

Patty talked to Megan yesterday morning, and their 16 year old cat Millie was recovering from surgery. Everything seemed to be going well, and if nothing changes, they'll drive here from Phoenix this afternoon.
