Snippet of May 9 afternoon,
We've been in cyber-communication with a dozen retired senior military officers inre my ramblings on OBOR, China's New Silk Road adventure.
Included are such faraway places as Yunnan, Djibouti, Dakar, Khorgos, Doklam, Port Sudan and Jiwani. Even Sri Lanka and Brazil as well as the Isthmus of Tehuantepec.
Inasmuch as No Such Agency and/or Google doesn't like me to send such vital info to ye of Jack's Pack, you'll have to request e-mail selections until I can figure out the method of attaching them to my blog.
We had Hardee, Babe and their two babies on the back patio yesterday and today. Babe prefers for me to hold her meatball in my fingers from which she takes it. Hardee still takes his from between my feet while the babies eat atop the patio wall just inches from my hand. What a cute family! Soon, instinct will drive them to separate, each seeking his own patrol area to search out snakes, lizards and insects
-- except one that will be chosen to remain where the meatballs are available upon demand. When is the last time anyone has seen four reclusive roadrunners together ganging up around the guy with the meatballs?
We are well and feeling wonderful now that triple digits have returned. It was 108° today with wall-to-wall sunshine. Nice!
Getting ready for the May 19 arrival of both sons, Jeff from TN and Mike from CA. I'm too old to cook for 3 additional folks, so we'll eat out a lot. Jeff will go home on Tuesday, Mike and Carolyn probably Monday. We'll be alone until we leave for Portland's June Fleet Week, when Jazz takes over our house watch here at home.
Marlene lugged home 23# of pork chops today from Basha's. Only 99¢ a pound! The BBQ was fired up for lunch! What a bargain! Yes, of course, thick cut.
All is well in the desert,
Love and hugs,
Jack&Marlene
