Indio, California: My Driver and I returned to Indio last evening after spending most of the morning with the kids. On Sunday, we went to The Village Bakery for breakfast. The joint is very popular and the lines go out the door. The food is delicious and except for the fact that the first time I ate here I had food poisoning so bad I lost 10 pounds in twenty minutes the portions are ample. But the place is very unorganized. You go to the counter and order your food and they give you a table number... except there are NO TABLES. The place is packed. People actually hover over tables, hoping diners will eat ASAP and give up the table before their own breakfast appears. Just uncomfortable for his old lady. However, I did enjoy my Brioche French Toast thinking there was no way in hell I could get food poisoning from French Toast. I did not.

We arrived back to our RV, unpacked and I ran out to the grocer to resupply. While I was one mile away (what? 45 minutes?) a very strange "twister" came through the RV resort. DT claims the wind was so strong he thought our bus was going to blow over. He thought palm trees were going to be uprooted. Our neighbor's patio table flew into the air. The umbrella blew into the lake and the glass-top table-for-six broke into a million pieces. Patio furniture became airborne. One minute later, it was all over. Our rubber "Oregon" doormat had disappeared. We assume if it had turned-up on a neighboring lot, they would probably figure-out the mat belonged to the people with the giant "O" on the back of their bus. Since it has not been returned, we are going to assume it is on the bottom of the lake.
Bummer. The weather is so strange down here. It was 81 degrees during this strange wind "event".
The remainder of the evening was spent with Don Draper.
After writing the other night how we are never invited anywhere for anything, tonight we were invited to two events!
I should probably get a publicist.
Woody and Kathy are in town for the week, so we all met for dinner with Marci & Jim at Guillermo's Mexican restaurant. Before dinner, we were invited for cocktails with our neighbors, Lois & Steve.


Lois is away this week, but Steve put on quite the spread for ten guests. I want to remind all My Readers - THIS IS A RV PARK.
Until my next update, I remain, your happy correspondent.
SLOGGER REPORT: Most appreciative of my two-day rest, I ran around the block as slow as humanly possible. 4 miles. It is my goal to repeat this routine M-F this week for 20 miles. We will see.
