Bill's Hints
From Motorhomes Made Easy
"Carry a 'polarity tester,' available in RV stores. Use it before plugging in at an unfamiliar campground. It's small, inexpensive, and displays two green or amber lights when plugged into a properly wired outlet. Using one of your adapters, you can test the campground outlet before you plug in."
And Butch says you would be amazed how often he finds reversed polarity in peoples homes.

Trivia
Trivia. . .
When you look at the full moon, what you see is only one-fifth the size of Africa. And speaking of the moon, the last time a human walked on its surface was in 1979.

Last Blooms of Summer
After Labor Day when we were getting ready to close the campground for the season, Marilyn offered to let me have one of the hanging baskets that had decorated the place all summer. After all, cold weather was approaching and they would not last long in cold temperatures. Butch grumbled a bit about ALL my flowers but I just let him grumble. Well here it is a whole new year in January and my basket is still looking good! I must admit that it is like a needy pet and needs fed and watered daily. And a haircut once in a while but I don't have to take it for a walk.

Gentle nudge
I received a gentle nudge from friend Peggy that I hadn't posted for 5 days. I was shocked but not surprised. If you do not see anything on this one for a while go check the other one. It is listed under "Links" on this page. We are in the park now and that one tends to get more of my attention. Also I am now needing to start on the park directory and I seem to have trouble finding time to get started. It is no wonder we feel like we go on vacation when we leave the valley. There is so much that we do here. Not that we are complaining...it IS one of the things we like about being here. And then little life things come into play as well. Like my printer went belly up. Hated that too because I really liked it. The one I have now is considerably larger though cheaper. But the choosing and purchasing of a new one is time consuming...and then we have installing it and getting used to it etc.
I had it all in my mind how doing the directory this year would be a much easier procedure and it might have been had I remembered how I had it all nailed down. I spent quite a bit of time yesterday getting reacquainted with how I was successful last year. Still not quite there but in the meantime my email had piled up so needed to do lots of deleting and a little answering.
So give me a nudge when I need it or go check the other one...Oh! and Butch is either doing golf, pool or helping someone with an electrical problem but you are not likely to hear from him anyway!
