We’ve come a long way

  In previous years, we’ve been isolated here; no phone or internet.  Apparently, they put in a tower, because we have a cell signal.  Additionally, every Arizona state park we’ve stayed in this trip offers its own wifi, so we’re totally in touch here.   (We’re the little blue dot.)       Common yellowthroat.   Zone-tailed hawk.

This campsite

  Doesn’t suck.   We’re back at Catalina State Park.   2018 Arizona Trip Map   This is the place where we were terrorized by that roadrunner running back and forth through our site earlier this month!

March for our Lives

  We couldn’t really see the size of the crowd; we only saw people in every direction.  This is an issue of, for, and by the people. We’re told the march was 8,000 people strong in the little town of Tucson.  We were glad to be there and proud to be counted.  There were 800,000 marchers in Washington D.C., and 800 marches worldwide.   The current United States House of Representatives, Senate, and President might not want to do anything about gun violence, but that doesn’t mean nothing will happen.  We just need to remember every November, and things *will* change.   This is a voting issue.  Politicians, break your silence; silence is complicity.  Tell us where you stand.  Tell us your position for or against change, so we may choose wisely.   Eleven thousand youngsters turn eighteen every day in the United States.  Remember, every November, and don’t let silence be safe!

I have a sudoku problem

  It’s not that I can’t quit playing it.  I’m sure I could quit if I wanted to.   It’s that I’ve got a sudoku app I like to play on my phone whenever I’ve got a few minutes to kill.  I’ve used it for years.  For every skill level (easy to extreme) every time I finish a game, it shows me the top ten times I’ve posted at that level.  I play each level until I score a top ten time for that month.  Every time I score a top ten time though, it kicks out my slowest previous top ten time, and raises the bar a little bit for the next month.   So now, here I am on the 23rd of March, and I haven’t scored a single top ten time for the month.  Oh no.  Oh no.     We’ve gone back west to Tucson and a little RV park right in town.   2018 Arizona Trip Map   Not a very big park; 24 spaces.  It’s close to the starting point for tomorrow’s March for Our Lives.
