The White Pickup Truck.!
Often as I drive from Sacred Rocks Reserve and RV Park I see a white pickup truck. Imagine driving the 3-1/2 to downtown Boulevard, the 4 miles to Live Oak Springs Market, the occasional 5 and 7 mile jaunts to nearby casinos, and driving on curvy roads, with the sun shining brightly and trying to see who is driving so I can wave if I know them.
I ask myself, as the trucks flash by, is that Mark, or Tara, or Fred, or Jim and by the time I can think whose white truck it might be, we have sped past each other. In the past I have just missed waving, but now I think that I ought to wave. So in the future I have decided to wave at EVERY white truck!
But wait, although 9 out of 10 trucks at our RV Park are white, there are red ones and gray ones and green ones, so to not offend anyone, I shall wave at those also.
But also we do have some cars of various colors, so to include everyone, I shall wave at them too.
So if you see a white Lexus riding around the mountains with a woman waving like crazy, that would be me. So please wave back!
My biggest fear is that I'll get into the habit and continue it on my drive to and from San Diego, and show the whole world my craziness!!!

Perseid Meteor Star Party A Success!
Many gathered at the Stargazing Plateau on Saturday night. Blankets - it was nippy! - and lounge chairs and drinks were the norm. Mr. Steve Case brought his very huge telescope to check out the closed nebulas and stars and moons, while waiting for the meteors to streak by. Quiet fun while being under the amazing blanket of the Milky Way!

Tarantula Secrets for Living!
Last Sunday I was giving our guest, Tori, a brief hiking tour after we spent time in the labyrinth. She saw something moving, and we both stopped to see a four inch tarantula make it's way across our road. While I don't like the thought of a huge spider crawling ON ME, it was very interesting to watch. [and me without my camera!] It was very dark brown. The vibrations of our steps did not seem to bother it. We hovered a bit close, interupting light from the sun, and it kept on traveling. It seemed to look neither right nor left, never deviating from the path it had planned. Every other leg moved exactly at the same time to propel it forward. The legs that weren't moving it forward were stablizing balance. What an economy of motion. In less than a minute it traveled about 12 feet from one side of the road to another. Goal accomplished!
Made me think of life in general. And what could happen if all of our parts focused on one specific objective? What could be possible if our mind, body, spirit, emotions, finances, and career all aimed at one goal? ANYTHING!
