Tuesday in the Tropics
Yesterday was the kind of day I come to Florida for-today is downright chilly. I keep track of home so I still feel fortunate though my hands hurt in this much cold because it seems to me winter in my neck of Wyoming has been brutally cold-I feel so bad for below zero temperatures.
I spoke to Eve a few minutes ago-I was calling to say goodbye but she had already left and was stuck in the San Francisco airport-14 hours without sleep. Not a happy camper. But the visit was fun and I was glad to see her. Good place to be about an ex: kind of neutral but friendly.
I have to get out and about soon. I bought makings for stew thinking to cook enough to give some to the Fish family but the ambulance left the park yesterday afternoon so I don't know if they are at home. I hope they are. Costco is a funny place. Some things are not a bargain at all but meat usually is -if you can use large amounts. Met my old friend Ange-a neighbor from two years ago who bought a condo down here. Waved at his wife and kids across the store.
Buster didn't have a great night but he is resting easy now-not coughing.
Rick did well at his first day of work. His elbow was draining profusely so he went, as directed, to Dr. Patel at St. Mary's where he got a runaround and was caught up in the drama of a shooting coming in. If what I read in the paper this morning was related, it was a fatality- a second successful attempt in the 'hood. But I make no mistake-Rick is a chancy bet. Whether prescription or street, a junkie is a junkie. Those years running the shelter were instructive.
The new neighbors to my right came in from Texas because the wife's girlfriend is ill. He seems a typical Texan. He is very "coach proud." He drives a Foretravel made in Nagadoches, Texas. "The only limit to what you can get in this coach, is your billfold," he says. So I looked it up on the Internet. New ones (his is not) are going for around $800,000.00. So I went down the feature list. The only things his has that mine does not have is something called Hydronic Heating, and a washer and dryer. Bragging rights aside, I feel like I am $775,000.00 ahead. Right where I like to be.
They are getting closer to finishing my reserved site. Perhaps by Wednesday, the electrician said. I picked it for the tree. But part of the tree is gone now. (insert "S" word here)! The quest for my perfect site continues.
