(Note: Blogs read from bottom to top; scroll down for beginnings, scroll up for most current.) After 30 years in public administration and four degrees, as well as numerous workshops with luminaries in Education and Public Policy, life in a slower lane became a goal. Most recently I have done policy writing and consulting for the Northern Arapaho and Eastern Shoshone Tribes. Mostly, I am just coasting slowly and gently downhill these days-seeking joy where I can find it before the glorious ride ends.

Monaco/Arapahoe

Lori and Jason are on the boat in the port of Monaco. The time difference is causing them grief-they are wide awake at night and tired in the morning. That iPhone takes pretty good pictures. In Arapahoe, home of that other famous gambling place, the Wind River Casino, I was up early spraying weeds. I can tell the Kocha weed is already sad looking and the Mustard should show signs by tomorrow or I will re-spray. I discovered a huge pile of nasty ants-they bit the hell out out of me last year. I put lots of Boric Acid on their nest. It is non- toxic except to ants.

Guy stopped by-it was great to visit with him. He has interesting conversation. We sat on the deck-he had a stogy and I had my usual. With all the wet weather they just got their beans in. He is going to start haying soon. The hay has done very well with all the rain. He needs a little help with his old computer so he is going to make/ask Janet to cook for me. Didn't tell him I would do it without being fed. Mrs R. didn't raise all fools. We are both loving seeing Wyoming green after years of drought. Of course it is going to get hot and dry soon enough but we sure can enjoy it while we have it.

I got charley horses in the night so took some potassium this morning. Then I had a belly ache most of the day. No winning some days. I think it is evening out this evening.
