I’m glad it’s Veteran’s Day and I’m off tomorrow. This already feels like it’s been a long week. I suppose that makes sense since we were traveling all weekend.
First we went to Tempe for my granddaughter’s 9th birthday party.
Then we stayed the night in an Airbnb near Apache Junction, and managed to get in a couple of short hikes Saturday evening and Sunday Morning.
Kelly swears she’s going to start writing again on Just Over That Next Hill any day now, so you may even be able to read more about some of our recent adventures soon(ish).
Even my Monday was a little bit weird. I went into work very early (before 5am) to do my 5-Day Weather Outlook and update my slides for the staff meeting later in the day. But then I had to come back home because we had guys coming to work on our leaky roof (again).
Thankfully it looks like this should solve the problem … at least until it rains again.
Elephants In The Hourglass
Because today was another slow day at the office, I was finally able to start reading Kim Frank’s wonderful book that I ordered a couple of weeks ago.
I’m sure I’ll have a more to say when I’m finished reading it. But even now, I can definitely give a preliminary recommendation that it would be well worth your while to go check out the nice discount on the hardcover over at Amazon.

Sort of related …
I somehow managed to break the frames on both pairs of my fancy trifocal glasses that I got from the VA and Tricare, so I’m back to leaving cheap readers at various places around the house.
They are more than adequate for helping when I need to read small letters or numbers. But now that I’ve been relying on these for a few days, I feel like my medium and longer range vision seems to be worse too when I don’t wear glasses at all.
This was never a problem with the prescription trifocals (or bifocals before that), even though I only wore those glasses like 35-40% of the time.
This could be all in my head.
But I probably need to either get those frames fixed, or maybe even go make a new optometry appointment. I might even consider buying some new glasses … but only if they have insurance on the frames. 😎
Til Next time,
