Blue Monday...

Some folks consider this the "gloomiest day of the year." Factors like the weather, post-holiday debt, and low motivational levels make it the gloomiest date on the calendar.

Warm, sunny, and windy (a tailwind!) as we get ready to leave the Tropical Tip today.

North and west to Arizona, then a side trip to Seattle for the boat show. And a peek at the 10 day forecast for Seattle...


Not a bit of sunshine in the foreseeable future. That would be tough to deal with on a day-in day-out basis. Hand me my guitar, I feel the need to play the blues.

---------------------

On edit: down for the night just south of San Antonio. We had a lovely tailwind all day, and the fuel mileage showed it: over 12 miles per gallon! We're in a Passport America park that we've stayed in previously... and the sites are quite a ways off level. Tonight, I do believe we are in their premier off-level site... with jacks extended all the way, we are still a half bubble off level (insert your own "half bubble off level" joke here). Shorts and short-sleeve weather all day, Joan has the A/C running right now. Little Izzy has had supper and is checking out the neighbors. I'm minus one G (only 3G instead of 4G), but I'm not in a hurry.

Local weather is showing a headwind for us tomorrow... running across West Texas generally gives us the highest fuel prices of this route. Just doing our part to keep the economy going.

The only good thing about that forecast for Seattle is that the rain will probably wash away the snow before you get there.

Lovely thought, Herb! I looked for you today on the road - didn't see you... but, there are a few places on 77 where you can't see the opposite lane. Have fun boating - see you when we get back.

Best wishes,
Jim
