I returned from Arizona it was a hectic trip with lots of work helping my mother pack. That women is a amazing she is 78 and managed to pack much of the household by herself! We packed the garage. Everything arrived safely in Albuquerque, which is good because she has some incredible antiques that have been in our family for over 100 years. Now I am madly packing for Death Valley, the mojave desert was incredible with flowers everywhere. No doubt where the Oregon rain went! For you google fans they now have a map feature that is incredibly easy to use. just type in the address (street and zip code or street city and state) and up pops the map you can drag the map around to see the neighboring streets. It is much easier than mapquest or yahoo. You can even search for the closest chinese restaurant or pizza place. http://maps.google.com/ You web masters might enjoy the google flavored web search. It is a customized search of your website based on a profile you create. http://www.google.com/services/siteflavored.html Hope everyone is behaving and doing well. See you in April.

All the deserts are radiant with colors....and temperatures at Death Valley are in the 90's already (but a place in Texas hit 99 over the weekend). Mary wants to visit Anza-Borrego, but this weekend we'll be in Bakersfield and the week after is Easter. If we don't make it the weekend of April 2-3, I'm afraid we may not make it at all this year. Should Easter Weekend still be good? I've been sounding Charlie out on a road trip. One without the kids.

The next 3 - 4 weeks (mid-April) should be excellent flora-wise -- if the temperatures remain pleasant. > I've been sounding Charlie out on a road trip. > One without the kids. Go for it. ...

Now really blow me away and tell me that if he gets lost, he stops and asks for directions :-))) Hugsies, Carole :) >> Its looking good. It works with the little league schedule.

Now really blow me away and > tell me that if he gets lost, he stops and asks for directions :-))) Hey, I have a husband who stops and asks for directions even when we know where we're going! He just likes to make sure. (this is when we have directions or know from the map - he doesn't ask for directions to places we've been to before and truly know where we're going) And all of us in my family read maps. Heck, I was a good map reader by the age of 10. We're look at maps and make up trips just for the heck of it. We compare endless alternate routes, mileage and scenery wise. Mike and I have state maps in each car AND in the house, we have detailed county road maps, snowmobile & ski trail maps & the state Gazetteer as well as our national atlas. Then there's the big box of other city,state, national & international maps in the basement. Heh, and one of our good friends has the Gazetteer for every state he drives in frequently.

But he will plan out a trip and then when we get into LA or somewhere like that he will let me navigate. He drives, I tell him what lane he needs to be in, where to turn etc. And he is understanding if I make a mistake. We make a really good team in the car.

It also helps to know in which direction the address numbering system runs. > But he will plan out a trip and then when we get into LA or > somewhere like that he will let me navigate.

Procrastinators Anonymous meeting tomorrow...or the day after. >> And he has lost his "sense" of direction as he's gotten older. > [quoted text clipped - 7 lines] > > I do the planning, but Mary drives and I tell her where to go. We are doing more of that. He can still drive OK but I don't passenger so well. He keeps forgetting he is not driving a beer truck and the other drivers are not impressed by what we do drive. So since I do not rest while he drives anyway, I do more of the driving when we are together.

They figure that if you have any business being on a road, you must know the name of it so why both with foolish things like road signs? Especially when we got driving around out in the country, we had to navigate by the sun at times until we finally reached a place where they'd slipped and left up a road sign - or where there was actually a live person we could tag for directions.

When I left North Quincy, the only thing I was old enough to "drive" was a sled. <g> ... Ham on rye - a drunk amateur radio operator. Have a great time.
