About Me

Name:
Location: Arapahoe, Wyoming, United States

(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.

Snow business

While Facebooking it, Paula asked how much snow we were going to get. I checked the NOAA weather site because I had no clue what she was talking about. I am delaying my departure by one day after checking two weather sites. I thought of leaving immediately but I would have run right into the storm in Utah. It should be on its way past by Friday and the temperatures will likely minimize the aftermath. If I have to sit a storm out, home is the place I would prefer to do it. I may leave Medford a day earlier because another storm is due to blow through. Crap! My intentional blizzard driving days are over.

I have clean clothes, the Van got an oil change and checked fluids. It is pretty well sorted out. I got a suitcase to ride shotgun. It will house cameras, etc. and I will get a computer lock to chain it to the car frame. It looks better than my jumble and may keep some things from prying larcenous eyes (Marion, Illinois bastards). I am in pretty good shape to leave and travel.
