Just so everyone knows, I chose to put a block on leaving comments, due to a couple weird people who have taken offense at a recent post....some people just can't handle the truth ya know? But if you are a registered follower you SHOULD be able to post comments!
The cowards who are trying to belittle me won't register if they are smart, because I can then send their posts to my bud in San Diego who can track their ISP and I will know who these bozos are in real life...name calling and belittling has no effect on me whatsoever, and I could just delete their silly comments, but I would rather piss them off a bit more and block them out...couple of goobers anyway....

Eatin good in the desert!!
Last night, my fellow desert camper/new friend Gary and neighbor camper Phil and myself all sat down to heaping plates of spaghetti and sauce with generous helpings of italian sausage and ground beef and garlic bread with bowls of fresh cobb salad, and watched the sun slowly sink behind the mountains as we sat there in short sleeved shirts, and wondered how could it get any better!!
Gary is parked in his 30' class C and Phil is parked close by in his Ford Conversion Van....Gary did the cooking, all on a 2 burner Coleman camp stove, Phil created the salad, and I supplied the garlic bread.....it was a feast!! We all went to bed with full stomachs, and slept like babies!! Even Garys dog Silkie got some, and after licking the plates clean and chowing down on the leftover sausage/beef mixture, just kind of stretched out and began to snooze!!
I was up bright and early, and caught the sunrise in the Pilot parking lot with a steaming cup of fresh coffee! Here is ol sol breaking thru over the mountains for the last time this year!! Hope you enjoy......

Visit from fellow blogger!!
Well, I think the tourist season has officially arrived here in Quartzsite!! Traffic has REALLY picked up in town, and the BLM lands are getting more traffic as well....yesterday was moving day again for me, and I went 2 miles south to Hi Jolly BLM which is where I started out when I first hit town!! But I parked farther back from the road this time, and slept like a baby all night last night.....and the overnight low only went down to 40, so only ran the heater about 15 minutes just to warm the tootsies some!!
Rolled into Pilot this morning early for fresh coffee, and check the blogs, and discovered that fellow blogger Don from A View From the Road, was camped out at Hi Jolly, but was planning on heading out for Yuma around noon....so I waited till daylight and rolled back out and found the View and there was poor Don out walking his travel mate Tigger!!
We hooked up and chatted awhile, and he rode his scooter over and I gave him the grand tour of my work in progress rolling home. His pal Herman and his lovely mom Sandy were still snoozing...obviously not the early riser types! Hey when you're on vacation there are no rules right?!!?
Anyway, a bit later the View rolled into my area and they all climbed out and after introductions were disposed of all around, I got the grand tour of the View!! WOW!! I was really impressed!! That thing is AWESOME!! Winnebago really got the design on the interior done right!! I mean, I've seen smaller bathrooms on Class A motorhomes!! And the space to store things was great!! I may have to look hard someday down the road at buying a used View, I just loved Don and Hermans!! Thanks guys for letting me see it! It is one SWEET rolling home!!
Shortly later, true to his word, they all headed out to the open road, Yuma bound......have a safe trip guys, catch you on the flip side somewhere down the road..........now if I can just get Glenn from tosimplify.net to get out here!!!

The arrogance of some people!!
OK, well Christmas has come and went once more!! Whew, thank God!! Did everybody get what they wanted?? I know I did!! Christmas in a new place, never been to before, gorgeous sunshine filled day!! I mean lets face it, I've never been to Quartzsite before, and who knows if I will ever be here again? And it was just a nice day in general!! Nobody messed with me...nobody looked down their noses at me...nobody expressed disappointment over my gifts to them...I mean, I sat in the Pilot lot and watched at least 25 morons pull up to the drive thru at McDs next door and honk their horns and yell into the speaker before they finally realized the place was CLOSED!! DOH!!
The sunset last night was non spectacular, but check out this shot
The little crescent moon.....I thought it was pretty! And the stars last night were just beautiful!! You've never really seen the night sky and its splendor until you park in the desert away from man made lights and lay down on a blanket and just gaze heavenward......no one can tell me there is no God!!
Back to the title----ARROGANCE of some people!! Last night, I was just laying in bed, not a speck of noise other than the coyotes in the distance, was about 9pm, when I heard a generator start up right next to my trailer, and that damn thing was loud!! It was literally vibrating my trailers walls!! I get up and go outside, and this yahoo in a 40' motorhome had slid in right next to me, put his slides out, and fired up his genset so he could run his furnace all nite to keep his piss ant hairless dog warm!! Are you KIDDING me!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Theres literally acres and acres of open land in this section of BLM and this goober has to park right NEXT to me?? I went back in and put earplugs in and pulled the covers over my head.....but I left at 5am to get away from the racket but not without pulling my truck up by his bedroom slideout and laying on the horn for a good 30 seconds, plus blasting him with a marine air horn for good measure!! When I went back at 11am he was gone...
And then today, I get an email from this woman who is supposedly a friend, telling me I can't set in my truck all day and expect the world to come to me...that I need to get out and explore more of the town and the area, and live life more!!
This by the way from a woman who I graciously loaned money to earlier in the month so she would have gas to get around....which yes, she did pay me back. But, who the hell does she think SHE is telling ME what to do and how to do it?? Maybe I actually ENJOY my days just as they are!!!!!!! And maybe, just maybe, I don't feel like spending my money on gas at $3.19 a gallon in a truck that gets 10 mpg to cruise around and check out the area!! I have somehow managed to live 57 and 1/2 years without her unsolicited input on how to spend my time, and I'm pretty damn sure I can live the rest of my life without her input!! Two words come to mind for her-----BUZZ OFF!! I mean, I don't tell her that she needs to get out of that rock club and go spend her time more wisely volunteering at a local church fixing food to feed the homeless...so, what the hell!!!
Arrogance.....a very ugly personality trait in some people!!

Merry Christmas!
Ah yes, Christmas! You know what?? BAH HUMBUG! I never was much on Christmas even growing up....and I'm still not. If you are, thats cool! I realize there are people who have families and kids and grandkids....and brothers and sisters that they want to be with, and thats OK for those folks.....just not me. Not my style. I have done a pret-ty good job of alienating myself from my brothers and sisters and all their kids and grandkids, some of it INTENTIONALLY, so the heck with them. Saw a movie short time ago, Four Christmases, where Robert Duvall said "you can't spell families without lies"......so true.
Don't get me wrong, I would love to see my mom, but hasn't happened the last 3 Christmases, and not this year either....shes in Illinois, I'm in Arizona--just 15 miles from the California line.....that would be a long haul back to there!! But, she understands why I am where I am, and more importantly she understands why I am the way I am.....and because I know my brother in South Carolina won't ever see this message, keep smoking that pot you jackass, one day maybe soon you'll have a massive coronary and drop over dead!
Wow, cold huh? I guarantee you, I could drop dead tonight, and that jerk would NOT come to Illinois for the funeral! Typical big brother/little brother relationship growing up with that yutz!! He is 3 years to the day older than me, but he is a real piece of work.....
Anyway, enough of that. You guys don't want to hear about that! Sorry, got off on a tangient there.....hope you all are where you want to be tonight, with who you want to be with, and that the jolly fat man brings you everything you want for Christmas!
Myself, don't worry about me gang, I am so darn happy its ridiculous!! Merry Christmas good readers!
