    okay----I considered traveling to Carthage, Mo. on Saturday, but guess what?: There was YARD WORK to be done; huge Zurra-style WEEDS 6-7 feet tall that grew in a very short time, and they had to be cut down. I might add that last weekend, I took my perfessional-grade Stihl 291 next door and cut down a dead tree that was about 50-60 tall. Well, Church guys boy was concerned it might fall on the house, but I cut it so it fell in the right spot. Then, I cut 'er up, so church guys boy and HIS boy could load it up in his old pickup and move it. So, no--I ain't got the time nor inclination ta waste tim-n-money ta go all the way ta ho-woy-ya. I never get bored, here. Nope. (see photo of bored couple who sat on a plane alllll the way to ho-woy-ya, so they can see a sunken ship full of dead sailors that leaks oil) Obviously--they are VERY patri-idiotic. Yup.

    Bobby: Just to make you envious, I am attaching some of the more glamorous shots I took during our recent once-in-a-lifetime trip to magnificent Hatfield, MA.

    I travel 4-5 times a year to garden club/plant society events and meetings. These trips lack real fun, they are a blur of unremarkable hotels, boring meals, and interminable highway driving.

    i really should take the time at each trip to see at least ONE thing interesting. Last year I visited the
    national Quilt Museum in Kentucky as a side trip from the main event and that was worthwhile and memorable.

    Just got back from White Sands National Park, Guadalupe National Park and Carlsbad Caverns. It was wonderful! May travel in a few weeks to see fall foliage here in TX. It is only a few hours away. There are other things to do in the area too!

    okay---I was looking at a y-tube video about the Centralia, Pa. underground fire. But yeah----it's been burning for 60 years, and it was necessary to vacate the town of 2000 on account of it. There are some things analogous to the Times Beach disaster, here in Zurra, and also the one that affected Picher, Oklahoma. One being that they are essentially man-man environmental disasters that destroyed small towns/villages. A point to ponder. But yeah---touristy: not. Though people usta visit centralia and graffitti-ed the road into town, until it was frilled in with dirt. <watch the video to see what I mean. But yeah---don't need to go there, now. Better to stay away. Yup.

    okay----I'm sitting here, fantasizing about traveling to the Island of Attu, in a the Aleutian Archipelago. But yeah---if I could lease some of the abandoned buildings there from the Gummmint, steada letting them just go to waste, I could start up a tourist lodge, and make a ho' lotta moolah. I just know you kids'd wanna visit, sometime. We'd have authentic Aleutian cuisine, too. (see photo of Attu, during the War of U.S. aggression)

    Hmm, I had quite a romantic overnight camping event at White sands many decades ago. My boyfriend at the time knew how to Legally get permission to camp on those exotic grounds. Amazing sunset and sunrise.
