Big activity of today and yesterday:  Watching Jim’s alma mater, Oregon State, win basketball games.  Yesterday number 9 seed Oregon State beat number 8 seed Washington State in the PAC 12 tournament.   Today Oregon State beat number 1 seed University of Washington.  Tomorrow Oregon State plays Tucson’s home team -- the University of Arizona.  On the local news tonight a sports caster called it a "best case scenario" for UA.  We'll see.
It’s been really windy here the last few days, so I’m glad we’re staying put at the Air Force Base.  In fact, with wind like this -- more than 50 miles an hour -- we’d have the motor home parked instead of driving no matter where we were.  I took these photos of Wednesday, but Tuesday it was so windy the palm tree fronds were bent parallel to the ground.

  1. Always enjoy your blog. Book recommendations passed on to Sandy. She did not have them and did write them down in her to be read list.
