  My Son - The soon to be College Graduate!

  Those of you that know me, must know how GRATEFUL I am for so many things.  And now, on JUNE 15, 2012  I will have a child (my only child) who is a college graduate!

He had to take a step-down to an Associate's Degree, due to something in MY past that prevented this year's loans from being approved.  But, considering he might've had to drop out, had my brother not stepped up to the plate to help, at least he will get a degree.  I am as proud as proud can be.  Of him.   I wish I could say the same for myself.  It seems like I find myself, mired in one personal disappointment after the next.  The loans were just the start of the latest round of tribulations.  I'm working under extreme pain (2 compressed vertebrae), just to make enough for gas, smokes, and a few necessities. Then, come to find out, someone used either my son's or my SS#'s on their Tax Return!  So they denied mine!  It's all had to be...    less

W I  N   D   Y    ! Predicted gusts to 65mph, sustained winds from 35 to 45mph. In the early morning I went to town on Rex to photograph an Art-Car parade. It was a bit blustery but manageable. After the parade was over I pointed Rex north towards Roz, our RV. There is a canyon that we pass through and I want to say WOW, (expletive deleted), WOW! The gusty winds there were switching directions instantly and randomly. Now this old biker has some miles in the saddle but this was, to greatly understate, a bit exciting. The point that scared me was after coming out of a sweeping turn, with Rex straight and verticle, running 65mph, we suddenly moved about a foot to the left. I do not mean we were pushed to the left with a hard gust, I mean the bike got real light and instantly was relocated. It felt as if we were...    less
