Still More Dry Land Diary

Sunday:  This is a three day weekend for those workers whose employers recognize President's Day, celebrated tomorrow, Feb. 16. Given the 80 degree late-spring-like weather we've been having, it's no wonder the campground has filled up.

Three days earlier the park was nearly empty. Because we only winter camp here we have never seen the park anywhere near this full.

The other DrC has posted photos illustrating this sudden wave of occupancy on her blog at cruztalkingtwo.blogspot.com. We drove around taking said pix Saturday afternoon after an "emergency" trip to the library for a couple of books to read over the weekend.

I borrowed what is probably Tom Clancy's last novel, containing the further adventures of the Jack Ryan/John Clark/Ding Chavez cast of characters. Written by Tom and coauthor Mark Greaney, it is entitled Command Authority.

Clancy died in October of the year it was published, 2013. I'll miss him, he could sure spin a good yarn. Less than halfway through, this book is a good read with lots going on. When I finish it I'll write a review.

Let me wish all COTTonLINE readers a belated Happy St. Valentine's Day. I hope you got to spend it with someone you love.
