Be prepared Midwest....

Be prepared Midwest....

The remnants of a huge storm that shot rapidly down from the Gulf of Alaska on the wings of the Jet Stream, and hit us with 60 plus mph winds (and no rain), is finally blowing to the East.

At five this morning it was about 40... Much too cold for this part of the world!

M. dragged me into the town of Twentynine Palms this morning, (yes, this is the way it's spelled, and most of us use" 29 Palms" on our snail mail):

"Do you realize you haven't been in 29 for over 2 weeks, David?" M. asked me over a breakfast of tuna on crackers with slices of red onion and stuffed olives, and a small dish of left-over brown rice heated in a bowl containing Virgin Olive Oil and Heinz catsup...(M's idea of a very healthy breakfast). Coffee for me, green tea for M....
Catsup, according to M. contains Locopene, a very healthy ingredient needed to keep a man's prostate healthy...

I just grunted. M. knows I dislike the little burg of 29. There are fewer places in 29 to stop at now, then there were 34 years ago when I first moved out here.

"When no one sees you for a long time like this," M. continued, " they think I've finally taken a hatchet to you and chopped off either your head or...your other head," M. giggled with that quip, and as always I found her adorable, and decided to appease her and let her drag me into town so the friends and people I knew, could witness I was still alive and kicking.

We stopped at Stater's on the way back, and bought enough food to feed half the Marine Corps base. M. is certain we're due for a huge earthquake here and we've been stocking up on things that could sustain us and our dogs for a long time, just in case.

It was Saturday morning, and it's still Saturday now, as I write this little summary of our uneventful, somehow funfilled day. M. is almost always a happy, radiant woman. She turned 50 on August 19th, 2010, and is just starting to once and awhile show a few gentle hot flashes. The beginning of Monopause. M.'s doctor is in Joshua Tree, and he's told her that yes, the m. phase of her life is beginning, but he expects her's to be a gentle menopause.

M. doesn't like me to write of her, but I think once in awhile in a short little post like this--especially if she reads it, and I'm not telling too many of our secrets, it's OK....

by Stardust... Saturday April, 9th, 2011...
PS I wrote the the post below this one, about the Yellow Cab, late last night while M. was sleeping, using this computer's Word Pad, and copied and pasted it on the post very early this morning.

Geneva, I see you've got those colors now working for you!

About what you spoke of ( wrote of): there certainly are many people living here on the desert whose families are gone, and whom, I'm sorry to say, have no idea how to use a computer.

I know any number of single men, most above 60, and many ex-military, who never had much education, and don't allow themselves the concept of learning new ways to reach out.

Many are alcoholics and use alcohol as their social group. I'm extremely fortunate to have M. with me. I also have a son living in Amsterdam, and a stepdaughter living in NYC.

My first wife, Romyna, still sometimes calls or emails me from wherever in the world she happens to be, and Imogene's son and daughter-in-law living in Arizona are wonderful friends.

I think life is extremely elegant to me... This site is where I write all the secret stuff--much of it crammed with a mixture of distortions, BS, truth, love and lust... Marisol doesn't like this site or any sites like this, but she's shy and secretive, She and I fit together like the irregular, oddly shaped pieces of a huge puzzle that shows the beauty of the rising/setting sun...

Thank you for you comments sweet woman...

    My friend, it seemed like you too had a nice day.

    While we look at life through different lenses, it doesn't make either of us right or wrong. Our lenses are different, but we both see the world, and it's impact upon us, and us on it, in much the same way.

    Travel the journey well my friend.

Dear Bob, I notice your blog is growing the way this desert blooms when given enough water. And...that's the way it should be.

A man of your sophistication, intelligence and traditional values is needed on sites like this one.... In a few months you'll need to hop, skip, and drop one-liners as comments, in order to stay ahead of your popularity.

I hope you'll once in awhile still come by my raggedity-assed, shake em' up posts, and skip over the upsetting ones, to find the more sane and thoughtful posts.

And too, Bob. Just keep this in the back of your head----please be a little careful of some of the delightful women you chat with through the comments... You've probably already been secretly taken by one or two of them. I've been struck by thunderbolts on this site, once very severely, and in other cases enough to shake me... Any of us who writes a lot "live," are open to a severe attack from the right brain, and this illness can make you live, breathe, and dream, thoughts about someone whom you've only met on this site....

Yes, sweet Maddy-- I've seen you were back in Blogsville and left a couple of comments... How was your trip to Ohio? Did you get caught in all the snow that fell in that area this winter? I hope not...

It's so good to see you back on this site. It wasn't the same without you here.

Let's see about SS.. Yes, I've been receiving it and Medicare (which I've used for work on my teeth and also for glasses), since I turned 62. SS is a great help to us older ones, and I hope the politicians are able to keep it alive and well for the new generations.

The Heinz Ketchup Rick. The only thing I wish they'd take out of it, is the high fructose corn syrup. It's true that is tastes much better than the Stater Store Brand..

I also noticed how the price of everything in the store has jumped up since the last time we were there. I feel sorry for the people with large families and not much money....
