I drove to Quartzsite this morning to pick up a package at my mail forwarder. Another shipment is supposed to arrive next Tuesday. The sensible thing would be to hang out in Quartzite and do the nomad/snowbird thing. But I don’t like that town much anymore, with the main problem being clogged cell bandwidth. I could go over the hill to Ehrenburg and a good cell service, but both Ehrenburg and Quartzsite are having freezing nights.
The stupid, wasteful thing would be to return my regular camping area near the border where lower elevation and latitude allow the night temperatures to stay in a more bearable range.
So, what if I split the difference? There’s camping spot about halfway between Quartzsite and my border spot. It’s on the Colorado river at about 230 feet elevation instead of nearly 1,000 feet in Quartzsite. And the forecast also splits the difference. An entire week here? Maybe. I’ll see how it goes.
We used to chuckle at our snowbird neighbors, every fall they would haul their 5th Wheel and 1 ton truck down south for the winter. I would Email them and comment that they should have just stayed here for the winter. Warmer and nicer weather the past few years..
ReplyDeleteOh NO, dumpster said there is no such thing as climate change. Those wokers (whatever woke means) they have since bought a real house on the Waterville Plateau in Wa. Where the cold wind blows and they freeze their patooties off even in the summer..
Ya-Hoo!
Upriverdavid,
ReplyDeleteThe term woke was originally coined by progressive Black Americans and used in racial justice movements in the early to mid-1900s.
To be "woke" politically in the Black community means that someone is informed, educated and conscious of social injustice and racial inequality, Merriam-Webster Dictionary states.
This article from ABC News talks about its role & influence in education. Be careful though, you might discover YOU'RE woke.

My prev post incl a link to an article which, of course, requires reading. Here then, for those who prefer video is a short (to suit the contemporary attention span) synopsis that includes a Black guy!! You may wanna skip to the end for "the point."
