The stove’s thermostat got fixed today.  Now I can maintain a constant temperature without the highs and lows of previous days.  One of those things I always meant to get around to and now is done.

Returning to normal life, the daily flow of dogs and learning and writing and exercise. 10002012 05 01_4113That’s good.  Over the last few years I’ve noticed a gradual resistance to travel, partly to air travel in particular, but also to leaving home and its comforts.  Once I get away a lot of the old buzz comes back and I enjoy the new place, the differences in culture and the natural world.  The beds are never as good away.

Not sure I said anything about the fact that the Bronco’s won their game on Sunday. There were a lot of people excited about it.  At the rodeo the announcer (the scumbag) asked several times, “Are there any Bronco fans in here!”  When I took the rental car back to Enterprise, one of the check-in people, maybe their supervisor was shaking an orange pom-pom to guide us.  He was very enthusiastic with it, even jumping and down a couple of times.

When I got out, he asked me if I liked the pom-pom.  I said something like, “Uhhh.”  It’s sort of a weird thing to do since folks returning rental cars are almost always going to be from somewhere else.  And they, like me I imagine, aren’t Bronco fans.
