Indio, California: I'm afraid daily readers will get deja vu all over again from this column. The weather has simply been awful, unless you are a thirsty cactus in the Coachella Valley. Last night was miserable - wind and rain! It rained so hard we lost satellite internet - and that has only happened a handful of times over the last 8 years. The rain fall measured 1/3 of an inch overnight. Rain falling on the roof of a RV can be a soothing sound at times. Last night it was deafening.
There was a lot of tossing and turning last night. Not a lot of sleeping. If my Sweet Sister hadn't accidentally butt-dialed me at 7:20a, I may still be asleep.
Time to get up.


It was only 54 degrees this morning and quite breezy. This would have been a good day to hit the resort fitness center treadmills... but that is one reason why we are not in Oregon in February - so we don't have to run on a treadmill. I put on three layers and hit the road. DT was running along the same route and lapped me several times. I told him my legs felt like they weighed 100 pounds each.
He said they did.
I have no idea why I even speak to him.
Oh, I remember now - he takes me for tacos several days a week.



My Driver ordered Arroz con Pollo (Rice with Chicken). It came with tortillas (wrapped in foil) and for some strange reason, this dish was also topped with cheese. Non-traditional.
We have learned that if we go to a Mexican restaurant for lunch, we cannot eat dinner. But if we do to a taco shop and have two tacos (no rice, no beans, no booze), that is more like a snack. Much healthier, as well... and there is room for dinner.


SLOGGER REPORT: Though I ran with legs that weigh 100 pounds EACH, I still managed to get around a bit on this chilly morning. I did the short half-mile loop, walking the corners and runner "fast" on the straight-aways. 4 miles.
Until my next update, I remain, your taco-loving correspondent.
