I was set on writing this entry at the end of today’s day of errands in Duluth, Minnesota (it’s Thursday); I like having an entry to end the ”blog week,” with my email going out on Fridays. But damn did we have a busy day out. We left the campsite before 9 am, and now […]

My Brilliant Laundry Solution
I can’t believe we’ve been living on the road this long and I’m just now implementing this idea. I first saw it in action in the Everglades two winters ago, when I talked to a guy in our campground who was swinging an onion bag in wide circles, with water flying out. Spin cycle! He […]
Strip Mall Tourists
We’re the lamest tourists ever when it comes to visiting cities. We’ve traveled nearly all over the country by now, so why haven’t we immersed ourselves (or even just dipped our toes) in urban culture? Covid Could Still Mess with Us I’ll be quick about this because I’ve belabored the point many times: If Tracy […]

The irony is we’ve been in two really stellar campsites during this mission and have hardly been able to spend […]
No Longer Are Our Screws Loose
The beauty of Idaho has been a surprising bonus, but we came here in order to get service at the “five-rivet” service center of the Airstream dealership in Boise. (Highly rated dealerships are truly called “five-rivet.” Airstream does love its word play). I felt big-time anxiety leaving my home with a bunch of stranger mechanics […]
Tip: Know Which State You’re in Before You Critique It
I’m in Minnesota, and but I’ve gotten that wrong twice now: when complimenting the helpful associate at an AT&T store while she was hooking me up with unlimited cell service on my new iPad, and when complaining to the company that fixed my iPhone screen but screwed up three parts in the process. I won’t […]
