R U an RV Mutant too?

[Suspinz]

Jellied eels, or what Martin calls Eels in Aspic (sounds posh, doesn't it?), a description follows for those who are interested. Look away now if you don't wanna know!

The aspic is basically a gelled clear salty (sea?) water. The eels themselves are like small fish steaks, crosswise cut into inch thick slices with the skin on. The meat is white, soft, and fine textured, sort of sweetly salty. The skin is softer, almost gelatinous.

My little pot of half a dozen pieces was enough for a good seaside snack. Crazy about them? No, I guess not, but I liked them well enough to repeat some other time. Maybe with a skinful of likker, I might feel differently.... Possum?

Numb the brain of your fancy smart phone, it will. At least an EMP (electromagnetic pulse or burst) will render yuppies totally speechless. No way to communicate, unless they resort to verbal one-on-one interfacing. The BMW won't start. Electronic latte makers will fall dormant. Back to the Stone Age of attempted vocalization by the campfire.

No television, no endless political yammering! Hmmm ... bring on that EMP, I say ... it might clear things up.

Yikes! Pretty drastic, that! Verbal tete á tete? Vocalization? Oh lordy, is that what all these mutants have been doing around their primitive campfires? Back to the dark ages!

Bring it on!

When do you come back to the dark ages...

[MartySQ]

Count me in the salt lamp club....didn't bring one in the Honey this trip as we were heavy enough fully locked and loaded so to speak....but I have 2 in my stick and brick.... Anything to help get the dang dust out of the air!

Soon, Kemosabi, soon. Wednesday Heathrow, overnight O'Hare, Thursday home.



We saw a highly controversial exhibit at the Turner Contemporary Gallery in Margate today (before having jellied eels on the seafront) and had a pleasant drive back past hops nearing harvest, apple orchards, and huge greenhouses full of organic crops. Naps this afternoon and sharing curries with the kids tonight.



Campfires some other time.

Oh, and here's a ponder for those who still call their stick and brick 'home'.

Do you get a bit grouchy on your way home, and is this phenomena common to all who wander? (Or is this just my family???)

We have ours out and glowing. They are attractive and put off a nice golden glow. If that's all it did it would be worth it. But I suspect they do more. Nothing scientific, but that doesn't matter to us. Today eggs are good for us. Yesterday, not so much. Tomorrow who knows. I like eggs and eat them often, with bacon of course.

He's texting Annie and when he hits send he looks up and says, "Did you get it?"

We have one at the S&B. It's all wrapped up in a plastic bag until we get back.

So much for being "informed". I still did not see unbiased research data to support the concept. OK, file my unwashed thinking under the skeptics category. The one benefit that got my feathers bent was the claim to eradicate electromagnetic radiation (EM). Seems that the promotors of salt lamps assume such radiation is thwarted by a cube of salt that is warmed by a tiny bulb (environmentally small bulb at that). Were it only that simple!

Yeah, I'm just agitating here, for the heck of it. Those who swear by the various benefits will take the opposite view.

Ghost peppers are better.

I have a good idea of what I want and the only hurdle is getting rid of all this "stuff" and the S&B to begin the journey. Just little ol' me doing it all. And perfecting procrastination does speed that process.

YES... it was rough going back "home".... missing the mutants and looking forward to w**k (NOT).

Cleaned the Bryce dirt off the Jeep Saturday...now its on the drive for a little while. Sad sad indeed.

Mowed grass Sunday oh how fun that was...

If only we could leave now for full time... we are ready.

Yep, Ken, it helps having a "motivator". Kate keeps pushing me to get all my junk given away, sold or thrown away. We're making progress. Should have everything disposed of and cleaned out by the end of January or mid February. It's hard to keep at it, but just keep that Rainbow in mind and then you can pack the next box. You can do it!!!!

Knee replacements later in Sept will set me back for a while, but I am keeping my eyes on the prize. 😉 Keep YOUR eyes on that Rainbow prize, too.
