I dressed finding khaki sweats shorts and the Whistler RVt shirt. When I came here last month I had to wear sweats and a hoodie because of the chill. Now it’s warm enough that I can wear shorts and a tshirt. I forgot to mention that Madigan is always up when I ‘m up and waits on the seat by the toilet to be hugged and back scratched. What an awesome companion. Some days I’ll meditate for a half hour but more often I just walk him since he’s so excited to get to the dog park and sniff all the messages. I really like this place for quiet, privacy and dogs.
We walked after the park. The doves were cooing . I love the little birds flitting about in the rests. The traffic to the border had begun.
I’ve patients to talk to. I’d been considering crossing the border at noon to check on the possibility of having Madigan’s nails clip and his fur groomed. But he’s not too hot and it’s not necessary. I thought of it mainly because the vet in Algodones was so good. He also has this thing when he gets his poop caught in his rear end fur. I have to clean and cut some hair off. It’s challenge enough at home with him growling at me in the shower and it will be more so here. Yet if he had short hair it will be chillly for him going north.
I’m due back in Canada March and he could have his grooming done then with Dr. Biernacki. April would be a good time
The only other thing I thought to do was pick up some Tecta. A couple of times a year I have stomach upset and that’s the best but I can get by with Maalox and get some up north. I just like outfitting my travel medicine chest while I’m here. I have antibiotics and nsaids. I could go but I don’t need to. The alternative is lying in the recliner in the sun .
The challenge this week is whether to leave as planned on Friday. I have two destinations I’d like to go to Fountain of Youth RV park with hot springs is the number one choice. The alternative is Salton Sea campgrounds. I’d stay a week at each and both are west on the route home. I have 24 hours of travel to get home and they’re a few hours off the trip. I wouldn’t mind going on to Oceanside again too. Moseying home.
They’re having snow and cold in the north. Laura is pleased with the heavy pink boots I got her just for these conditions. I feel sorry for here though and my patients who tell me how miserable the weather is and how everyone seems to be down with the flu. I’m disappointed that they haven’t called an election. It would be so much more hopeful to know the liberals were gone and the conservatives were in.
The backlash against transgender is disappointing but not surprising. The whole Critical Race Theory and multiple gender silliness was getting too absurd. I hold to three genders, male and female and other. I don’t accept the pronoun complexity. I think the whole sensitivity to being misgendered should only be a concern if intentional and mean. The ‘sensitivity’ issues and the over concern about less and lesser ‘triggers’ and claiming trauma in a stolen glory sort of way was becoming wearying. I felt so much of what was going on in social media was insulting to my patients who were traumatized. I like the ACE studies and don’t go with the whole ‘emotional trauma’ thing. There’s a science of objectivity and the excess subjectivity seeking special privilege was competing with limited resources my truly dsabled patients were facing.
It’s sad the the food banks have been used more than ever by the middle class. The incompetence and missmanagment of the economy by Trudeau is criminal. The amount of graft by the Liberal party collectively is staggering. Billions of dollars missing in the Covid hand out scheme and the desire to do the same rape and pillage and increasing inflation criminal response to the trariff threat is a one trick pony spend someone else’s money scheme. Such disgusting behaviour by a Montreal Toronto gang of thieves.
So I’m not happy with that obviously. It’s not good for my peace of mind even to consider it. It comes up on FB and X. I’m fine here doing my work and enjoying the passing coveys of quail.
I filled the propane bottle yesterday driving up to the gas station at sidewinder road just west of here. It’s the second time I filled a bottle and I’d filled both when I first arrived last month. It seems I’m using a bout 5 gallons of propane for fridge, hot water and propane stove. I ve taken to only turning the hot water on when I needed it as I think that was an unnecessary draw. I’ve used the electric heater and microwave and barbecue mostly so I’m getting the best of my $200 a week fee for place and services. The state camp grounds round about $2100 a week. Fountain of such is about $400 a week. The resorts commonly are $100 a day so it’s great to get anything in that group for $50 a day. It’s American so Canadian exchange is 70 cents on the dollar. I’m not being overly studious with regard to cost. If I was staying in a motel it would be $100 to 200 a night and here Madigan and I have all we could hope for. I’d like to boondock and try out the new Honda 3200 generator. It’s necessary for Starlink but that ran on the 1000 whereas the air conditioning I’ve needed several days this week requires the 3200.
I am so blessed. Thank you Jesus. I’m reading the John and his discussion of being the son of God and the religious leaders essentially calling him psychotic or antisocial. I find the dialogue a bit annoying. The reductionism of the entrenched judges and with their narrow view and desire to undermine him is so reminiscent of so many bullies I’ve known. I’m enjoying watching DOGE , Musk and Trump and Patel address the FBI and other criminal behaviours with the weaponization of these agencies by the Democrats. The Hunter Biden lap top and the False Russian folio and the disgusting Jan. 6 refusal to help the police and then to throw the book at the White House crowd while giving a pass to the massive destruction by Antifida and BLM. Favouritism and all that was sad. So here is Jesus being persecuted and yet I can see the confusion and struggle with the ‘sacrifice’. I have to give it more thought. I don’t particularly like Paul and believe Paul wants to see Jesus through the ‘old accord’ lens and not realized how radical the ‘new accord’ lens is.
Just for today. God is omniscient, ever present, omnipotent, all powerful and omnipotential all creative. I am spiritual and all is spirit. I am thought and all is thought. In the beginning was the word.
Thank you Jesus.
