My husband and I went for a short ride around sunset. When one works from home and recreates at home it’s sometimes easy to forget that there’s a whole world out there. Once in a while Earl will suggest a ride just to give me a change in scenery. We drove to the smaller town of Corona de Tucson and back. It isn’t a particularly long jaunt, but it was a pleasant ride as we made our way across the desert with the windows down in 95ºF heat.
It was the breath of fresh air I needed.
Move to the desert where it’s dry, they said. A severe thunderstorm just blew through, taking its sweet time moving north to south at 10 MPH. According to the National Weather Service, winds associated with the storm were over 60 MPH.
Our patio furniture has been retrieved from the land out back. There are electronic devices beeping all over the neighborhood, but we have power. A transformer exploded near the homes on the other side of the wash. The wash has about three feet of water rushing through it (great for tubing). And the Eucalyptus tree in front of the house is now in front of the garage. During it’s relocation it missed the house by about 18 inches.
But it’s a dry heat.
I have always been a fan of Womack & Womack’s track “Teardrops”. It came to prominence when I lived in Eastern Massachusetts in the late 1980s. I’ve always loved the musicality of the song.
I stumbled across this remake last week and was blown away by how much the musicians seem to love their craft. This is an amazing remake. I love to watch musicians doing what they love.
Last night my husband and I made a trip into San Diego to explore Little Italy on foot. The vibe was energetic, yet a good share of the folks on the street were wearing masks.
We ate dinner on the street at Farmer’s Table Farm to Fork restaurant. It was very good. I even had dessert, as did my husband. Crème Brûlée and Chocolate Bread Pudding. Delicious.
The entire meal was very good.
Just a guy with a husband. We’ve been together 28 years and he still makes me see fireworks on a daily basis. Hiker. Storm Chaser. Private Pilot. Tech Guy. Hackerish.
Weird? Eccentric!
