Well Don for me it is a great blessing that we do not know how long we have on the planet. The alternative would be far worse. I agree with you that our lives are a succession of paragraphs and soundbites.
What I use to love about the high desert is the view looking west while the sun is setting. I, one day, discovered that on a nice day I could sit out there covered by my garage and look across the field toward the western mountains. I had an old winged back chair,plus have a cup of coffee. I'd read til it got too dark. Then I'd watch the sunset. It was always interesting as the sunset creating interesting shadows on the mountain side first and later it became a a silhouette.
The heat during the day was often too hot to do anything outside, my mini truck didn't have air conditioning. We use to each (two of us) have spray bottles to mist ourselves if it got too bad while out and about.
Ah Needles. I've been there. I use to drive to see a nephew. He lived in a little town not too far from Bullhead City. He ran the pizza place. Not sure if it was Dominos it that other popular one. Now he's just north of Kingman in Golden Valley.
Hi I was getting bored in my own blog and decided to find other people's blogs.
I use to live in Hesperia. Am quite familiar with the area and therabouts. I stopped by there about two years ago and was a bit stressed because the traffic was horrible. The shopping was non stop up the main street and they had construction going in besides.
We shopped at the Walmart by the freeway and killed time before going over Cajon Pass. The heat if the day had cooled off.

Hey Bill yes it is good occasionally to cast a glance over the shoulder. For better or worse time marches on steadily and we have to adapt. 100 years ago I would be in a wheelchair pre hip replacements! I am glad you are back posting.
What's in store for me this year? Will I be healthy, or sick, will I win the Lotto or continue on with my meager weeks earnings? Only time will tell and that seems to be all we have!
I wrote a small synopsis of my life to a friend on email, short and to the point. What's missing are all the stories that each job created. A full life lived during problems, heartaches, and wonderful times! I have chronicled part of my story on this blog but like many people I have left gapping holes. To be filled in at another time!
I hope everyone had a great New Year, and I hope 2023 turns out be what everyone wishes for!!!
