Yesterday we made the decision to remain in Los Angeles because the temperature at Joshua Tree was going to be around 107/108 degrees. Joshua Tree would have been hard to see, just from the truck. Speaking of the truck, I have a love/hate relationship with that thing. It certainly hauls us down the road but to park it is like putting a square peg in a round hole. We have more “discussions” (they really aren’t discussions, more like me telling Tom how he should park) about parking than anything else. Case in point, yesterday we went to the Sherman Oaks Galleria to see the new Jurassic Park (I liked it) and had to park in the parking garage. We had less than inches between the top of the truck and the beams of the parking garage. Here is a picture of my view. Look at the white concrete beam (a little blurry).
Trust me when I say, we weren’t even going the 5 miles an hour. We made it, only terrorizing our antenna.
This morning I decided to wash the sheets. I have not put them back on yet, so stay tuned. Tomorrow I may be in traction.
The kitty’s are happy we have been home more. I think they have enjoyed not traveling for six days. Although being nose butted by Penny at 5:00 a.m. yesterday morning was not my finest hour, or hers.
After my many walks to the laundry this morning, Tom felt sorry for me and came to carry the load back, we went to Wal-Mart. There are Wal-Mart Neighborhood Markets, of which we originally went to, that did not have what I wanted and there was of course another “discussion” about parking. We found a Supercenter a mile away and it has two floors! Just like the Target earlier this week, this one has a place where you can put the cart to go down or up too. I’m going to have to get a cart next time I see one of these.
The news in Southern California is all about the ICE raids. There was a raid at a tomato farm in Camarillo this morning. I’m thinking we should all go buy tomatoes. Because the problem with deporting hard working people is that no one is going to step up and do that hard, hot work and tomatoes are going to rot on the vine. Sadly, children were crying because they could not reach their parents. I agree we have a broken immigration system, but this is not the way to fix it.
It’s hot here friends, 97 today. We’re looking forward to much cooler San Diego. We are there for six days. After the Padres game on Saturday, we plan to do some sightseeing. I want to go to the zoo. If you have any thoughts on places to go, let me know.
Our journey is done for today. It’s been a good one, just relaxing in the 5th wheel. I hope your journey today was a good one too.
