This is a crazy place. First of all, no one has a thermometer hanging from a tree in the backyard or by your door or window. In fact, no body even cares what the temperature is here. It doesn't vary enough to matter. But when you finally see a weather broadcast on TV it is enough to make you laugh. They have this DUST icon that they show all over the Mid east. Like the RAIN icon they always show over the Pacific NW. If they have made an icon for it, you know it must be occurring quite often. So DUST is in the forecast for the rest of the week, No SHEET! Everyday it is dusty; and when you exit from your shower you are immediately covered by a thin powdery dust much like you are a donut coated in powdered sugar.
Oh to have a donut! But I do have Oreo's. The PX stocked the shelves last night and along my long Disney Drive walk, I run in to see if anything is new. Donnie has requested Oreo's, which makes it a good opportunity to make my first c/c transaction of the month. In order to get my checking acct. interest, I have to make 12 transactions a month. Which is much easier to do when you are in the states. I currently have an "Error" message on my Comcast e-mail and can't open my mail, I hope this has to do with Comcast and not with me!
Forecasting that as soon as my email is up, the dust will settle; still not predicting any rain!

Hi Tammie. Dust, eh? We had some extra dust around here due to the "office" project but my mom and Steff sent some Maids last week and they wiped most of it off. I notice it doesn't blend into the hardwood floor like it does into the carpet.
ReplyDeleteI took a little trip down to Cali a couple of weeks back, visited Mike and his siblings, etc. Mike's mom had been sick and she passed away back at the end of August. It was good to see her family and friends at the memorial. It was at the same church she used to "invite" me to when Mike and I were just little hooligans in 7th grade. I don't think I'd been there since high-school. Anyway, I rented a motorcycle for a couple of days while I was in Cali, Mike and I rode out and about in the Eastern Sierras, down to Mammoth Lakes area and back to San Jose. It was fun, beats working. Didn't make it to Sturgis this year. I may have to go during the off-season so I can visit Rushmore, Crazy Horse, and the Badlands when there aren't as many bikes on the road. But that's a tale for another day.
Stay chilly. I'll see about getting you some doughnuts. What are your faves?
Love ya.
