Why ???
As I spend my days building a snake's nest of wires to support two battery banks in the camper, helping with the grandkids, and trying to stay cool during a heat wave, it becomes more and more difficult for me to write a blog post every day, and yet I continue scratching out these brief glimpses into my daily life as if driven by a force over which I have no control.
And yet I do have complete control, and I write every day because I want to, and not because I'm compelled to. I guess we all need a reason to get out of bed in the morning, and when you're retired and living the kind of life I live, I have to look hard for a reason to get out of bed, especially in the winter, when I'm traveling, and there are no appointments, no responsibilities, no stress, and no grandkids to keep track of.
It could be that writing a blog and having to take a few pictures to put in it gives me a reason to roll out of bed at the crack of dawn, put a smile on my face, and do what I can to make the current day even better than the day before.

These airplanes flew around the neighborhood three times and then left; I have no idea why. I'm hoping they're not the new United States Air Force Thunderbird Aerobatics team.
