h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I've had enough.

Every morning it's sun sun sun and more sun. Starting out warm and turning to hot and sinking sullenly in the west only to spring up aggressively the next morning.
They say it will be 23 degrees (F) cooler tomorrow. Snow in Colorado will dust our mountain tops. I'll believe it when I feel it.

Fell asleep at the wheel a few weeks ago, driving home from El Paso at 3a.m. I was going 75 and I described a perfect 180 on a dead empty road. A platoon of soldiers appeared out of the desert and gave me an MRE and a gallon of water and went on their secret business. A man who wouldn't identify himself tried to get me in his suv and I said I didn't get in strangers' vehicles. He muttered something about being 'with the government'. Finally some cops showed up and tried to put me in an ambulance. A tow truck finally appeared and took my poor Corolla and me away. The driver is an old friend from other vehicular events. He never washes his hair, clothes or self. He knows every tv show that ever inhabited our screens. He was very helpful and cried when I gave him a 20 for a tip.

Flesh eating bacteria man is still around. Yesterday we went skinny dipping in a meager little creek that feeds the aceqia. Two scrawny old hippies stark naked. A distasteful display, but no one was in sight. He's still an enigma.

I'm selling my books and Zen style prints and cards at the Saturday market. I made 40 bucks last week. Good because I was living on peanut butter and greens from the garden and quinces. No figs or pomegranites this year because the trees were killed to ground level by the February ultra cold spell. The trees popped up again and I hope will have fruit next year.

I am a Zumba Queen. I love it. I did a Zumbathon and danced 17,000 steps in just short of 4 hours. I never liked dancing because you always have to Obey The Rules, and I'm not good at that. Zumba is different. All you have to do is is listen to the music and move and approximate the steps and enjoy. Better than drugs I swear.

IT IS RAINING!

Warm rain, but still .... wow! Really raining hard. I'm going to go stand in it and dance.
