OK, it’s Winter. I had to put on socks, shoes and long pants. There were a couple of rainy cold days and I needed more clothes. Now, that the record breaking torrential down pour in the desert has ended, I‘m back to shorts and t-shirts. I’m sure January will bring some more cooling weather but now that it’s warm enough for our daily bike ride I’m happier. We have the furnace turned down at night to 55° and it rarely turns on. For Karma’s morning walk (around 8:30), I try to stand in the sun as much as possible.
We have found 1 American food restaurant that we like and 1 Mexican restaurant that we love; so, eating out works for me. Surprise surprise, there are no oriental places. There are a lot of food vendors already set up with more to come in January. Vendors have snack type of offerings (corn dogs, tacos, lemonade, fried cheese curds (whatever they are), pie, etc.).
We have DirecTV installed with a portable dish/tripod. It was a challenge to figure out the setup and to get reception. The primary problem was getting the TV to the correct input mode. We had been provided a Satellite finder but returned it. Just doing it by hand is easier.
