Bathroom door this trip......900 miles away in North Carolina.....and am I happy. The extra inch and a half of aisle width is something to be grateful for.

Curtains to follow....

We ran into rain and strong winds as we traveled down the Wash. and Oregon coast during the same period. Wasn't quite as bad as you had, but was part of the same storm system. Everybody needs the rain, but too bad it has to come in such blasts. A rain every night, not too hard, from 2 to 4 am, would be best. Glad you did well.

Sorry for the storm, but glad to hear the trailer came thru for you.

It is kind of reassuring to know you have the back-up, hey?

Maggie, I just turned on a few things then lived like Lady Muck for a few days. It's not like I climbed Mt. Everest or anything....but thanks anyways.

Gearheart, I wish some of that sweet-green icing flowin' down would head this way. I can pass on the cake, but not the icing.

Annie, funny you should mention that. I posted that clip a week or so ago after massey said wherever I go, storm clouds follow....or words to that effect.

Anyway, here it is.....



And for all those linemen who were called in to restore power - B.C. Hydro (f.k.a. the B.C. Electric Co.) said it was their biggest collective loss of power in their history. Over 700,000 customers were without power for 1 - 4 days.

Speaking of Glen.....

Probably the biggest boost to Galveston's tourism industry - have always wanted to go there after hearing this song for the first time. Would be quite the trip with the FaN. It would be a long drive, but I haven't totally discounted the idea....

You did something new in an emergency, got thru it, and wrote about it.....just trying to be encouraging.

It's all worth celebrating.

I know, Maggie.....bless you.

I hope you can also celebrate the fact you've weathered one of the biggest storms of all, and your writings encourage all.

Thank you.

Still doing the "weathering", but getting thru it.

Posting a video of Lena Horne reminds me of a story that has a very loose connection to The Donald. A few years after WW II, Trump's father built a mansion on our block. A few years later the neighborhood was in arms about a rumor he was going to sell it to Lena Horne. The neighborhood homeowners' group called a special meeting about it. I was too young to go, but I think my father did and came home disgusted with the racism rampant amongst these higher income, supposedly well educated people. Eventually the rumor faded and the mansion remained in father Trump's hands. That was about the time The Donald got thrown out of a private school in NYC and was sent to military school. Apparently he did not learn discipline there.

Gene, what a horrible thing to do to such a fine human being as Lena Horne.

I read Sammy Davis Jr.'s bio. Before the civil rights movement, he entertained at the best hotels in Vegas, but was not allowed to eat or sleep there, and had to enter/leave through the kitchen.

Racism.

Makes no sense at all.

Lena Horne was treated badly by the entertainment industry and many others. I think Hollywood finally allowed her to star in a movie, but whether they promoted it in white theaters I doubt.

Gene, makes you wonder how many incredibly talented people of colour never made it to the stage or screen, never mind their deserved place on Hollywood's Walk of Fame.
