Judy shipped more stuff back to Colorado. We can put both the back seats up now. It looks a little less like we’re living out of our car.
We think it’s a little tough on the dogs; traveling in the car and staying in hotel rooms. Not much time outside. No grassy yards lately. So today they got a play day at Dogtopia.
Judy dropped them off early. Annie slept off to the side by herself. Henry played with other dogs in the play-yard nonstop all day long. Tonight they’re both snoring.
I like to lie on Sue and John’s floating dock while the boats are zooming up and down the river in Parker. I like the motion when all the mixed up wakes hit. I’ve never had a problem with motion; boats, roller-coasters, airplanes, jumping out of airplanes. This trip, though, after lying on the dock for a while, I got vertigo when I got up. I had to walk sideways to the ramp to get back to the deck. That was odd.
We drove on the freeway between 5 and 6 pm to go get the dogs from the doggie day care. That wasn’t good. We found our way back to the motel on surface streets.
I describe our hotel here in Vista as “California Classic”. Judy’s description is a little less charitable. It’s old. Thin walls and ceilings. There are people here that seem to have nowhere else to go. Sometimes the working poor get to a point that they can’t come up with enough money for house payments or monthly rent. They’re living week to week. It’s ironic, that having got to that point, they end up in a place they can rent weekly, at a cumulative cost of more than they would have to pay monthly for an equivalent place, but they’ve lost the momentum it takes to get there. Some of them are here.
Meanwhile, Becky is having a fine time driving around the English countryside. The biggest challenges seem to be keeping to the left while turning at intersections, and shifting with her left hand.
Tony adopted a hat.
