In vino veritas – In wine there is truth

On November 13, 1789, Benjamin Franklin wrote, “Our new Constitution is now established, everything seems to promise it will be durable; but, in this world, nothing is certain except death and taxes”. I’ll return to that thought below after my Van Life updates. I’ve...

Prescriptions: The heat dome in the southwest … was a doozy. It cooked up a brutal early Spring wakeup call that makes ya worry about the impending summer sizzle. I avoided the oven-like heat by elevation and glamping - plugged in the air conditioner at a KOA for a...

Be anchored in Christ! Windy here, but no dust is blowing, yet. So, it’s not bad digs for a breezy day or two of van- life because the temperatures are reasonable, yet the weatherman reports record hot days are fast approaching. Being in this temporarily temperate...

Hi there! I see I missed the mid-month blog – sorry. But February is the short month. Right? It was a blur. Honestly, I think I can blame it on too much screen time watching loads of ugly stuff unfold like never before. Yuck! I’ll get back to that. Van life rumbles...

A van day in the Vegas Valley turned into a couple weeks, full of … people. That’s wonderful! Peeps are the touch-point of living. Don’t miss that nugget, like I have. So, I drove from Lake Mead to the Middle Grandson’s soccer tournament where I meet up with Jen,...

Had van maintenance performed at Prestige Dodge and am pleased I did! Apparently, the brakes and tranny fluid are worth all effort – feels brand-new. Then I caught a cold?flu and recovered in Pahrump while the weather remained chilly and rainy. I feel better today so...

Yesterday, the fob I normally use began failing. I retrieved the spare, but its battery was dead! So, I installed fresh batteries in both since keys are essential to my happy van-life. Today, I’m in Vegas, not south yet. Dog sitting at Jen’s. It wasn’t planned, but no...

This is Mount Charleston as seen from the Pahrump side of the Spring Mountain Range which runs along the west-ish side of the Las Vegas valley. You can spot this peak from Vegas too, but I say this view is far more impressive – the other side. And now you know where I...

Wow! Bill is far sharper than most believers (introduced him in my last blog). What a pleasure conversing outside the suburban coffee shop on a breezy Wednesday evening. We talked it up near an hour – standing, my feet didn’t tire. Christ and His Father were our...
