Angie and I are RVing fulltime in our 2006 Monaco Knight 40PLQ. I work full time as a web programmer, and Ang works full time taking care of me :-). Thanks for reading our stuff.
"Little RVs, on the asphalt, little campground made of ticky tacky" Well, you know the song ![]()
We are back at Sparks Marina RV Park, and it is just as fake as it was last time. It is funny to drive in and see perfect green grass - no weeds, perfectly uniform growth, perfect shape. The dream of nice cool perfect grass between your toes is smashed as soon as you notice that it is fake grass. Fake. Astro turf. SoCal yard carpet. Perfect green plastic strands.
Sure, it looks nice, but it is so fake. It is so fake that they have the most strict dog policy I have ever seen. The rules state something about if your dog is seen peeing somewhere not authorized, they can charge your credit card $25. My response - I left them a fake credit card to go with their fake grass ![]()
heh - bout time!! I think there was something in Cali that was blocking my Blog-brainwaves. I just couldn't eek out a single post!
I did determine that I am allergic to California. Not only do I have a visceral reaction to high property taxes and ridiculous gasoline prices, I think my body disagrees with it too. I had the worse cough ever the entire time we were there. I was a joy during conference calls. It sucked being in the same room as me. I was miserable, and I am a miserable sick person. I think that is because I don't do the "sick" thing very often, so I try to maximize my return.
So, for my kick-off post, you get a picture of our new driver - Chris Shakespeare. He is the son of Bill and Kelley - Kelley being Angie's sister. Chris jumped right in and felt at home. I can't wait to be able to nap during our I-80 drive through Nevada, Utah, Wyoming...
Lots of things went on in our short Cali stay, but click to see what the coolest thing was.
