Jinxed
My first flight into Chicago arrived 15 minutes early, I kid you not. As I waited for the plane to finish its taxi to the gate I glanced at my watch. “Huh? 1705. Bloody hell, I could have made my 1830 flight, ” I seethed. We slotted into a gate at Terminal C. I thought […]
Homeward bound
September 9, 2014
I have survived two weeks of primitive camping (no showers just wet wipes) in what I’d describe as a challenging environment with tough conditions.

It’s two lane traffic and the road is narrow for American standards. You also pass through the continental […]

August 28, 2014
I’m still waiting on my rucksack to be delivered. It’s hot here in Bozeman and my sweater and hoodie are just not suitable day wear, so B and I headed into what looked like the toy town to shop. There are two main stores that people go to. The cultured, athletic and educated “folk” shop […]
