We called in to see Bonnie at the hospital. She's heavily sedated and later doesn't remember that we called in. It was a very serious operation with high risk but thankfully the operation was a success.

We stop overnight in Blythe on the CA/AZ border. That's our Alamo Chevvy Cavalier in the centre; very bland, very ordinary. On this trip, I'm using my brand-new state-of-the-art Sony Cybershot with a breathtaking 3 megapixels. Woohoo!

It's early morning and these are the views from Bob and Jan's backyard. The " Views will never be built out" said the salesperson, referring of course to the very tip of the mountain.
