Rain

Rain came to the desert. Not enough to really do any good, but since the fires burnt so much a rain could be dangerous causing flash floods. 

One thing about our lifestyle are the interesting people we meet. People who live as nomads are much more interesting than the people glued in front of a television.  In recent days Kadizzle has had a couple of nice talks with one of our camp neighbors.  The man has had a very interesting life, and he has approached life with a sense of adventure.  That is the case with so many on the road.  Most of the people we end up friends with are not obsessed with material success.  They get buy.  Bill lived in a tent for years.  One thing too many people assume is that if someone is living on the edge are not smart.  Kadizzle has found the opposite to be true in so many cases.  A lot of these people cannot put up with boredom, and boring jobs.   About eighty percent of our road acquaintances are divorced.  A good portion are ex alcoholics.  Somehow the lonely life suits them.  These are the kind of people who just get up and move when they don't like how things are going.  Just about all these people have mellowed out.  Since they are wanderers they usually have moved from job to job.  These people did not lead sedentary boring lives.  In all the years we have been winter camping Kadizzle does not recall meeting any mean people.  The get along ethic seems to be abundant.  Look at the people living under bridges, they all get along.  The people who seem to cause all the problems on the Earth are the ones that constantly want more than their share.  We know them as Republicans.
