After passing the truck with the wind turbine motor on it, twice, we left highway 10 and got on highway 62 for a short bit and stopped in the middle of the Wind Farm and waited on the side of the road for the truck to come by. Apparently it had a dinner date somewhere else, it never came by. As we waited though, I noticed a 25 mph sign next to where we parked. I believe it's for the wind turbines. I hear if they go too fast, they could actually pick up the entire Coachella Valley and drop us in the middle of the Pacific Ocean.

Once upon a time, there was a star. That star exploded, sending gas and dust through out open space. That gas and dust collected to become a large rock. That large rock became a planet. That planet created life. From that life, two strangers met. From those two strangers, came me. And here I sit, watching rocks turn to sand.

I think R2D2 is stalking me. Everywhere I go, I find him two steps behind me. Last week I found him under my bed. He said it was for " Security " reasons but I don't know. I am very uncomfortable. The way he beeps at me has me worried for my own safety. Then, this morning I was cleaning his room and I found this Selfie of him Googling me on his phone. Help me Obi-Wan Kenobi, you're my only hope.
Love,

It's kind of neat watching the bees fly up to the opening and crawl up into the flower. A couple of times, a second bee would try to crawl up into the flower. I heard tiny little swearing then one would fly out all mad.

This is a series of photos I took with my Motorola RAZR Maxx Phone while visiting the Orange Empire Railroad Museum. The Museum exhibits were closed, they are only open on the weekend or during events but it was still so cool to walk around.

This is an outtake from the Film Noir Challenge. Although I like this photo better it didn't quite fit the Film Noir theme as much as the other shot. But I wanted to upload it anyway cause my other cat told me to. (I have three. All stupid. Trust me)

In the process of moving out of a two story home, I must have carried a million pounds of stuff down stairs a thousand times. I was so happy when we finished at two am after the fourth day to finally be out. Because it was so late, we had to get a motel room for the night. And the room was on the second floor. I was gonna sleep in the parking lot but the hooker already said it was her territory and I was a bit scared of her.
I will be using my phone for a bit now. It took two very large storage units to put everything in and we had to spread more belongings to about five different friends homes. I slept about 12 hours before the massive machinery began ripping up the street this morning
This is just one of the two Storage units our stuff is in. We went and rented a BIG U-Haul moving truck and loaded it up. Wasn't easy as you can see. There is a long walk down this aisle, you turn left then go down another aisle past a Lost Ark and a couple of Raiders.
Once we were loaded up, we hit the hit road for Our 110 mile trip. Once we were on the freeway things got better. Doing my best attempt at a Tina Turner impersonation (I was after all sitting) I sang at the top of my lungs...Big wheels keep on turnin', Proud Mary keep on burnin', rollin' rollin' rollin' on the river. Then I took my foot off the brake, rolled 10 feet, put my foot back on the brake and started the whole process again. Three and half hours later and hoarse, we made it too our destination.
PS.
I looked so butch driving a big 21 foot moving truck...except the part where I drove down the sidewalk by accident. (Don't panic, I missed most of the pedestrians)

Desert Hot Springs, California. I can not wait to start using my camera again. I blew dust off it this morning. Pointless since I live in the desert and it was dusty again in two minutes.
At least now I know to roll up the window when driving through blowing sand. There were sand drifts on the road ... and in my car.

The idea was to take a photo of the Little Purple Monster drinking coffee from a giant mug that says Life's A Beach. It wasn't until I started playing around with editing the shot on my phone that I noticed the placement of the mug. Sometimes life's a Monster. :)

As we passed this the other morning we (meaning me) thought it was a giant septic tank. I quickly snapped a photo (the one before this). As we quickly started to pass it, I realized I was wrong. It obviously was some kind of space rover. Then I thought it was some kind of new mobile home. It wasn't until we completely passed it that I realized it was the motor to one of the wind turbines. I was so involved with trying to figure out what it was that I forgot to take any more photos besides the first one. I quickly yelled, piercing the silence, PULL OVER! Apparently I was pretty loud, five cars all pulled over. As the truck carrying the turbine passed, we got back on the freeway, I hung my head out the window like a drooling dog and snapped some more photos with my phones camera.

I took this shot of Mr Stix for the Macro Anything challenge (I'm using a phone and that's about as macro as it gets) but when I saw the shot, my eyes went straight to the shadow of Grover from Sesame Street on the wall.

Todays Challenge was Pink. How ironic. The cost of moving has left me beyond the poor house and some wonderful people have been generous enough to help us out. We needed sheets for our bed and a good friend says no problem, they have an extra set they never use. I say cool. She goes down her hall to the closet and rustles around for a few minutes and pops out some sheets. Pink. She is after all a girl. My mind races with an excuse not to take them. Can't come up with one. She already knows I need them and I don't want to seem ungrateful so I put on my best "Grateful" face and now I have pink sheets.
I also have no pajamas. I don't wear them. But when you are staying with your mother-in-law and you have to go to the bathroom in the middle of the night they come in handy. I now peek out the door to make sure I don't run into her again in my underwear. To solve the problem, she offered me a set of her pajamas she never wears. Lets just forget for a moment that they are Grandma Pajamas and head straight for the fact that they are bright pink. I'm not sure she was TOTALLY serious because she kept snickering as she tried to pass them off to me. I DID decline the pajamas. I told her the cats would beat me up. She seemed to buy it as she took the bright pink Grandma pajamas away, snickering the whole time.
Then the challenge of pink comes along for today and I can't find anything pink. That is till my other half just asked me if I wanted a Starburst. I said sure, so he hands me one. You got it, it was pink.
So I think I am just going to eat this pink Starburst, go to my mother-in-laws and tell her I'll take her pink grandma pajamas and then I am going to go to sleep in my pink sheets. Hopefully my cats won't be to rough on me.

Well, it seems I am on the outside of my limits now. Although I call it good luck because we caught it so fast, we seem to be the victims of credit card fraud. Luckily our credit union was on the ball and they only got $500 before the card was shut off.
To make a bad day worse, we plugged in the computer for the first time yesterday, it farted once, belched and croaked. Even my evil glare wouldn't scare it into running. So it looks like it's still phone photos for me for the time being.

This is what they call the life.
Well, there were problems with the move. The other 3/4 of our belongings are in a POD (a big moving container) and got delayed because we moved outside the 50 mile free delivery. Now they had to drop it off at another facility first then deliver it, charging us $920. It should be here tomorrow.
We have TV now but no internet, still waiting on the call for them to confirm a friday instillation.
In the meantime, I haven't used my camera since the first week of November and have completely forgot how to use it. I was told not to worry, that it was like riding a bike and I will remember everything when I pick it up again to use it. So naturally I blew the dust off the bike, which is here, and rode it. I got to the end of the driveway, a bug flew in my mouth, I gagged, crashed and cussed at the bug which somehow survived. So I am hoping the camera is not like riding a bike.
But the Little Purple Monster has been riding in my car this whole time and he is at least moved in. I'm happy.

The phone rang in the dingy motel room, I answered hastily on the first ring. It was a dames voice asking me to come down to the local dive. I showered quickly and headed out.
I didn't know what she looked like so I had to wait for her to approach me. I stepped up to the bar to order a drink. I felt a tap on my shoulder and a sultry voice say my name. As I turned around, my face met a hairy knuckled left hook from the women I was supposed to meet. Apparently it was the right hook because I never saw here face. I was out cold.

I've had to pass this twice daily for the last couple of weeks as I go back and forth from my temporary home in Canyon Lake to my new home in Desert Hot Springs. I attempted to count how many cows there are but usually give up around three as that's about the time I accidentally make eye contact with one and feel self conscious about staring at them.
Just a little drivers tip for you, when driving through Cow Country, do NOT roll up all the windows in the car UNLESS you close the vents too. Nobody want cow farts trapped in a car with no place to go, trust me.

Not a great shot but wanted to share I have a home. The sale barring anything going wrong should be complete by the 30th of this month. This will be my view from my Desert Hot Springs Jacuzzi that sits above my Desert Hot Springs pool in my Desert Hot Springs backyard that needs a little love. The house is awesome! Of course after almost three months of looking every single day a shack that I could call mine would be awesome.

Living at the beach or within one mile of it for over two decades had me spoiled. When I ran out of the house to drive the 55 miles to work and found my car covered with ice, I was a tad bit surprised. And late, it took me 20 minutes to get the ice of the windshield. I have to admit though, I was real close to sticking my tongue on it to see if it really sticks.

I had just finished mowing, looked around, and thought I'd take a few shots with my phone.
I moved to my temporary home but my job forgot to come with me. It's still back there. It's not the 55 miles away that get me but the hour and half to two hours it takes to get there which makes my daily commute to work three to four hours a day. I do get to take an absolutely beautiful drive on hwy 74 up one side of a mountain and down the other. It is beautiful but not fun. In my first eight days I have seen two major accidents and a bunny flipped me off. Rude.
