Day 171 (Quartzsite, AZ)

Having toured the community in an hour yesterday (we drove very slow and had lunch too). We think we will like the quaintness and characters of the desert.

I got up early this morning to get to the local medical center early as the doctor is only in town 2 hours on Wednesday and Friday mornings. Well, the truck failed to start and had a “wrench” symbol. So, I got one of the bikes down and started pedaling. It was about 2 miles with a slight incline so a good cool morning for the ride. The doctor comes out of his Blythe, CA office and when his office told me he’d be there 8:30 to 10:30 it was California (Pacific time) not Arizona (Mountain time). So, I was first in line and an hour early and he was late anyway. So, I have met some of the other retired residents. They told me their stories as we waited for the doc and his staff to arrive.
