It Turned Out To Be ‘The Other’ . . .
First off, I mentioned a while back that we were planning a trip to up to Alaska later this year. In most cases we’re going to be revisiting old haunts from our cruise in 1998 and our workcamping there for 5 months in 2008, but we also want to visit Soldotna and Homer, where we’ve never been.
So I thought I’d throw this out to our many readers.
What things do you recommend that we see/do in that area?
And nothing to do with fishing, please.
I said in yesterday’s blog that we were going to eat at Pho Barr today, one way or the other. In other words, we were going to eat at the new one if it was open, or go on up to Webster to eat at the old one.
And the ‘old one’ it was.
When we got to the new one, we found this notice on the door.
And according to Theresa, the owner of Cowboy Coffee, that’s a regular problem in this area. She spent weeks waiting for the inspectors to come by after she called them. Then they would finally show up, look at something for a minute or so, scribble their name, and then leave.
Then it was on to wait on the next guy.
So now we’ll be checking every day next week.
When we got to the Webster location, Daniel, our usual waiter, said he was worried that we might be upset that he had ‘misled’ us. We laughed and reassured him that we weren’t mad.
And of course the food was just as delicious as always. Just hope it’s closer to home soon.
Finishing up for the day, it was on to our local WalMart for our weekly stuff and then home.
This is Pink Floyd, the African flamingo.
Also known as No. 492 due to the number on the leg band, the flamingo, and another one, No. 347, escaped from a Kansas zoo in 2005 after the zoo forgot to clip their wings that year. And though No. 347 disappeared soon after, No. 492 has been on the lam ever since.
And, identified by the leg band, the flamingo has been seen as far north as Wisconsin, but has apparently wintered-over in south Texas for the last few years.
A really beautiful bird.
I spent some time this evening upgrading one of the hard drives in my Dell computer here at home. The C drive is a 500GB SSD (Solid State Drive) with contains the Windows operating system, and my D drive or Data drive was a 1TB regular hard drive, that contains all my other libraries and files, like the Documents, Pictures, and other standard folders. But it was starting to get full.
So I got a new 4TB HDD, hooked it up externally, copied the entire old drive over to it, and then swapped them out. Only took about 30 minutes.
So now I have plenty of space.
Until I fill this one up, I guess.
