Wow, you could easily sell your house and travel for the rest of your life.

Kind of like me, I live in Los Vegas but we live in the southwest part of the city about 35 minutes with traffic from the strip where all the casinos are located. It's like a whole other planet. We go four times a year to see the botanical gardens at the Bellagio Hotel and that's it.

Vegas has been cooler the last several winters and had more rain than usual.

Hi, zLyn, thankyou. I’d forgotten I’d written this story until you took the tour to Coober Pedy. What a strange place. Thank you, I hope everyone enjoyed it there and at least found an Opal to take home.

Change occurs when we least it expect it. I know for me seeing the world again through my children's lives helped me grow as I'm sure it did you. Thank you for sharing your personal journey.

In response to "Tricky words"

It's no different than my four children, politics are better not mentioned.

We had a nuclear power plant in Maine, the alarms would go off and it felt like death every time it happened. My first husband worked there quite often as a machinist and there were too many incidences where he had absorbed to much radiation and would have to wear special suits and walk for hours to sweat out the excess. Sometimes it would take over a week that he and co-workers were kept in isolation rooms until they were safe. Nuclear power plants come with more risks than they tell people.
The one in Maine had to be closed and sealed because of the reactor cracking. So many families in that area had cancer afterwards, it's terrifying what lies ahead.

Maybe Australia is luckier than we are here in the USA. Mining and exporting uranium is something, but the danger of it when put to use is another. As you said, "I’ve found it’s best to not get into political discussions with anyone." Imagine me with two sons who are the exact opposites of each other in every sense of the word. I always walk on eggshells.

I hope you get to go in person someday! It's still possible.

Though I hear there are amazing waterfalls in Australia.

Stranger effect

PROMPT November 19th

Share a time when an interaction with a stranger had an affect on you.

I’m struggling to answer this prompt.
I have met hundreds of strangers whilst travelling and yet I can’t think of one who really had an affect on me.
Maybe they did effect me unknowingly when they directed me to destinations where I wouldn’t have necessarily gone and I never realised. Who knows when you’re lost in a foreign country one place is much like another. You know that sliding doors moment? We must do that all the time, making choices which change destiny but we are unaware.
I’m like Kåre Enga in Montana

and always remember kindnesses. It’s the actions of others I remember not necessarily the actual person or stranger.

I'm still English

PROMPT November 18th

Write about origins. You can take this literally as in where your family originated from (your history, culture, traditions), or you can focus on your own origins as a person.

When I read this prompt my first thought was the origin of ideas. Where do they come from? How does the brain come up with an original thought? Does anyone else see the wonder in this?

There is a fascination this days for people to find out where they came from. Television programmes are made with celebrities being taken back in time, sometimes over several hundred years. It makes for interesting watching, although why, I can't really say. After all why should we care if so and so's great, great, grandfather stole a loaf of bread and was transported to Australia? Yet we do.

Then there's your country of origin. I have to answer that question all the time when filling in forms. Really they mean the country of nationality. So I may be an Australian Citizen now but I'll always be of British Nationality. I don't mind, I'll always be a Pom at heart.
