A British perspective on motorhoming. Three car-guys each create their own, then put them to the test. We stumbled across this on the BBC channel on television, then found it on the internet so we could share it. We thought the motorhomers or anglophiles among us might appreciate it. http://videos.sapo.pt/VNIGPgkpSNRhRhupEJw8 http://videos.sapo.pt/0vYrguTa4aFZ0enbghjv It’s in two parts. If they’re slow to load, just hit pause and go do something else for a while. The downloading will get way ahead of the playing and you can watch it uninterrupted later.
Conner’s News
Grandson Conner decided to publish a daily newspaper. He has subscribers in the cul-de-sac. He writes the paper every day, copies it, rolls them up individually, gets on his bicycle and delivers them.
He’ six. I don’t know how he gets a compulsion like this.
And my favorite:
Mystery plant
What do you suppose this plant is growing wild? It’s inland, off the coast. Big leaves; leaves bigger than a dinner platter.
Blooms.
Turning to nut balls. Not quite burrs.
And end up looking kind of like chestnuts!
We found another clock.
A survey
Remember when we were kids, and the only clocks in the house were clocks or watches? Now, there are too many clocks to keep track of. If something is digital, they put a clock in it even if it doesn’t need a clock. It must not cost anything at all to just add a clock. Our Indoor/Outdoor thermometer has a clock! We should know how many clocks we have, since we travel across all the time zones, plus change from Standard Time to Daylight Savings time and back. Sometimes we change time zones and daylight savings time the same day and get really confused. We should know how many clocks we have, but we don’t. We keep discovering more. When we’re just moving from one time zone to another, we usually only change a few clocks and don’t worry about the rest. In a few days or a few weeks we’d just have to change them again anyway. This year, losing daylight savings time, we’re going to try to find all the clocks and change them. I’ll list the ones I can think of: 1 Dashboard radio clock 2 Aladdin clock (the digital controller for motorhome systems) 3 System Control panel (for the generator and inverter) 4 Front room table clock 5 Microwave clock 6 Coffee pot clock 7 Two cell phone clocks 9 Digital voice recorder (for recording bird sightings) clock 10 Indoor/Outdoor thermometer 11 Itouch 12 Ipad 13 Three laptop computers 16 Bedroom alarm clock 17 Wristwatch (in a drawer somewhere) 18 Printer 19 Two cameras 21 Land-line telephone 22 Television clock 23 Landscape lighting clock 24 Landscape sprinkler clock 25 Jeep radio clock A few of these clocks don’t have to be changed. They just change themselves. Now I’m offended by the ones that don’t. How many clocks do you have in your house? Do you even know?
