Personal frames, glasses, insurance, LensCrafters, vision Leave a comment
After too many years, I finally got some new glasses. The old pair were… well, old… scratched, and soldered back together after breaking in half more than a year ago. The county’s new insurance package included a plan accepted at LensCrafters, so I went there today and, true to their advertising, had my glasses in “about an hour”. The exam and tests went well, my eyes are in good shape for my age. That’s always nice to hear. Now all I have to do is adapt to the new lenses. That usually takes a couple of days.
The prices for frames is just ridiculous. Especially for name brands. I bought “generic”, and still paid close to $200 out of pocket, even after insurance. I think it’s a racket. But as the old song goes, “I can see clearly now…”

So here are the pictures I took on the road trip to Yuma. I didn’t take too many, and most of them are of the prison museum at Yuma.
Three days, 900 miles, snow on the Grapevine (the highway, not the plant), huge, towering dust storms starting in Palm Springs and continuing to Yuma, wrong turns in Indio and El Centro, seeing the border fence from I-8 west of Yuma, seeing Border Patrol units all over the place…

Personal 50's diner, Arizona, Ford, grapevine, I-5, MPG, Taurus, tumbleweeds, Wingate Hotel, Yuma Leave a comment
So a buddy from Ohio is in Arizona for a week visiting relatives, and he makes the mistake of saying “you should come to Arizona!” I gave him several chances to withdraw the invitation, he refused, so here I am, in Yuma!
Dinner tonight was a good old fashioned hamburger, fries, and a Coke, at a 50’s style diner. Right down to the chrome barstools, and 50’s music on the jukebox.
Tonight at the Wingate Hotel, tomorrow wasting time with Roman, tomorrow night in the hotel, then home in time for Christmas Eve. (It doesn’t start till sundown, technically, and I’ll roll in sometime after dark, but close enough!)
(update: I actually rolled in about an hour before dark, so I made it home before Christmas Eve started. At least Christmas Eve Pacific Time!)
456 miles. 8 hours, 20 minutes on the road. 31 MPG. In a 2005 Taurus! Not too shabby.
The weirdest thing so far? Fine dust blowing across the road like fog. Big windstorms starting in Palm Springs, well, windstorms all over, but raising dust like crazy starting at PS. Dust snaking across the road in front of me, going almost as fast as I was! I’ll have to get a new air filter for the car when I get home, it’s going to be full of fine dust.
Second weirdest thing? Wal-Mart parking lot in Blythe. (Taco Bell. I didn’t go into Wallyworld) They need to ban plastic bags there, too. The fence along the street was a 3 ft chain link… it was solid plastic bags pinned solid to the mesh of the fencing. Wind was picking them all up and plastering them to the fences up and down the roads. Looked really bad. Plastic bags have got to go.
Also saw a tumble weed on the Grapevine commit suicide by jumping in front of a speeding mini-van. Pretty much exploded. Saw another one racing the cars, rolling along the center divider shoulder, and doing a pretty good job of keeping up!
Snow on the ground going over the pass, but fortunately the roads were clear by the time I got there. CHP had been escorting cars earlier, and they had completely closed it at one point last night. Lucky me, didn’t have to detour, or wait.

Personal christmas dinner, condo, dinner, Fresno, holiday dinner, Mychal, Reeves, Ted, XMas Leave a comment
Ted and Mychal hosted an intimate holiday dinner Saturday night at their condo in Fresno. A small group of friends got together for some of Mychal and Ted’s great cooking! Chicken, beef, vegetables, mashed potatoes that may have been the best ever, and desert that was a little bit of heaven.
Ted made a banana pudding for me, since I had been talking about a holiday tradition in our family, but this was something else! It definitely wasn’t my momma’s banana pudding! Mom’s was always great, and I love it, but this was something new. Very tasty, Ted will have to make it more often, now that he’s hooked me on it!
Some more pics after the jump.

No, I’m too young to get married.

He used to be in a band, does that count?
When you looked in the mirror today, what was your first thought?
Who is that old man, and where is he hiding me?
