Some people like camping, some folks, hiking. My idea of a good time has never included anything involving deprivation of running water or toilet facilities. Until recently, my life was just hunky dory in the running water department. Until two weeks ago when our one lone toilet broke! I can talk about this now that everything is back in order but our toilet was out of commission for 2 weeks! TWO WEEKS! I had to go to the lobby to use the loo and sometimes you just have to go now, now, now! In particular when you wake up in the morning. Everything is in working order now though and it’s even improved! Pull up for yellow and push down for brown.
Genius! My life feels complete again.

What with all this crazy stuff going on, I decided I need to get away for a bit.  I haven’t taken a vacation in over a year and have always wanted to visit Hawaii.  So I finally got my ticket last night.  It’s one of those package deals too so I get to visit more than one island.  Can’t wait to try all their fancy fruits and dishes.  Aloha mi amigos!

The moon is fuller tonight than last night.

Zeh: I mean, you don’t wanna be flying off the tea spout about this.

Me: You mean, off the handle?

heheheee!

I don’t know where she comes up with this stuff.  Tea spout?   

In case you can’t make out the words:

There is delight in the hardy life of the open. There are no words that can tell the hidden spirit of the wilderness, that can reveal its mystery, its melancholy, and its charm. The nation behaves well if it treats the natural resources as assets which it must turn over to the next generation increased and not impaired in value. Conservation means development as much as it does protection. – T. Roosevelt
