Wide Load !!

For those of you who are speculating as to what constitutes a "Wide Load" or "Oversize Load" ... here are a few pictures to make this clear. In the top foto, the truck is literally driving down the line at the far right side of the lane ... and the load still over-hangs the left lane. We had to get to the far left side of the left lane to pass it ... and even then it felt uncomfortably close. Find a Pilot, Loves, Petro, Flying J, or some other truckstop and watch the truck drivers as they come inside to fuel. You'll gain a new appreciation for the concept of "wide load." A few minutes there and I feel down-right svelt.

Mr Pozo has been in the hospital with an infection, pneumonia, and gall bladder problems for the last 11 days. Poncho had a mild stroke a month or so ago ... hasn't been able to go back to work ... walks with a cane.

SHOCK! -- the large back bedroom now has a window air conditioner!

Hope you are all doing well.

Filed for Unemployment

"Our" spider has gotten larger ... it moved from near the door, out to the front edge of the porch ... closer to our porch lights. It seems to be doing really well at catching bugs there. And we've left it alone to do its thing.

In the meantime I submitted some more job applications.

I went on a bicycle ride yesterday morning ... after reaching the top of a rather steep hill ... I felt nauseous ... laid the bicycle on the ground and lay down next to it for about 5 minutes. Ugh!

Haven't submitted an application to Wal-Mart yet ...

On Vacation!

We're unemployed this week ... the truck and I.

So I'm busy taking pictures of bugs ... don't mess with this one ...

And pictures of houses ... then setting up a blog page for it ... click here

Jalapeño Peppers

What color are Jalapeño Peppers when they are ripe?

What color are Green Peppers when they are ripe?

If you let them sit out in the garden long enough ... they aren't green

The ones pictured here are in the process of still ripening ...
