We took our niece to the airport in Jackson today, the roundtrip is probably 120 miles. It is a Friday and her flight went at 1 p.m. so we were driving in the late morning.
I'm hearing a lot of moaning about high gas prices, but guess what? It sure isn't keeping people off the highways, the traffic was substantial. Jackson was full of tourists, the airport parking lot was almost full, and lots of expensive petroleum products were being consumed.
As the other DrC notes at her blog, everything is showing various shades of green, a real treat for our eyes grown accustomed to the desert's tans, yellows, browns, and reds.
The work of putting a winterized house back into operating condition continues apace. We work for a few minutes, then rest for a few more, it is getting done.
Later (actually Sat. a.m.) … I forgot to mention, by moving 500+ miles north, and ‘uphill’ some 4000+ ft. we went backwards into Spring. At this time of year while NV already is hot, WY is not. In fact we are having rain today and the high won’t go to 60℉.
We both experience springtime pollen allergies. Every year we get two doses of stuffy noses, first in NV, then again in WY. Obviously, while not fun, it is worth putting up with.
