Thor Hurricane - Adventure South - Bakersfield - Orange Grove - 1 1/2 hour to LA - Dec. 18, 2025

I’m here another day.  Waiting for the Furnace to be repaired. Miquel came by and after much examination decided the motor and blower needed to be replaced. He called someone and they could get a rush order in for hopefully noon.  

The event of the day was taking Madigan to the dog park where he peed on everything and sniffed every butt and had his butt sniffed in return.  

Today he’s had a walk but hasn’t pooped yet but the plan is another stop at the dog park today

I had pleasant night with sweet dreams after waking once to pee at 1 am. I’d gone to bed at 10 after watching a season of Acolyte, from the Star Wars series They had witches with the ‘thread’ connecting everyone and a person could pull the thread and influence destiny . There was the Force and ‘light side’ , the realm of the Jedi and the ‘dark side’ , the realm of the 

It’s warm. I’ll watch some more. I think the problem is the move from the dark side being more light and the light side being more dark.  Disney apologetics. Woke etc.  I’ve loved all Sci Fi in the past if well made and this does challenge preconceptions.  No Princess Leah.  Good guys getting killed and bad guys living on like crotch itch.  A bit Shakespearean that with the evil little voice in the ear of the king underming the queen.  The Horror.

Dec. 18 

I’m packed up. The Furnace was completed and worked well last night. I’ve been enjoying sandwiches so will have to get more bread today. I’ve had some shopping but the task right now is to disconnect and bring in slide and level out for travel.

It’s been a great stop given Miquel of Arias RV Service fixed the furnace and I’m good to go. I’m looking forward now to Hollywood RV . It’s an hour and half by time but it’s rush hour traffic so we’ll see.

I learned that Mr. Hilton from VMC had died at 55.  He taught English and Drama and had me as a star in the Gr. 10 medieval play. The male and female leads were gender switched. I played a female and Vicki who wrote her appreciation of our teacher played a male.  She’d gone on in acting and teaching . I put a bunch of the degrees after my name to indicate ‘imitation is the sincerest form of flattery’.  I could see putting in the degrees would be fuel for the haters who’d say it was self servicing but I think Mr. Hilton would love the irony and appreciate the scholarly course.  

I did have great mentors though years later wondering if he was queer for choosing a gender fluid comedy for adolescents .  It was way ahead of its time. I never concerned myself back then or in theater or later dance. Certainly I appreciated reading of his life and love and caring for her kids.  I’m not sure if they had any of their own.  Maybe a daughter.  I liked they had a little cabin at the lake they fixed up. Certainly a life I could have had but for this Gypsy existenace and the call to serve.  I’m still trying to understand God and God’s will for me.  Right now I hope it’s to get to LA safely

Road Trip.  

Thank you Jesus. Thank you Holy Spirit. Thank you God.
