Rolling Solo - Caballo Dam State Park

There have been expected shifts in circumstance, some unexpected thrills, and some humorous encounters. I don't wanna give them a lot of extra energy and power, so I'll just say 1) challenging departure, 2) microburst over Percha Dam State Park, 3) wildlife encounters a) indoors, and b) outdoors. I'll show you the aftermath at Percha next time. Spud is a tank, apparently, because by the time I ventured out, I could barely move the branches off her, and she is fine. Me? Only psychic trauma.

This is not my microburst. I thought you'd like to see the KAPOW!! it can deliver, and why going through one in a tent under a tree is something you might tell your Facebook friends about.

Exhilarating! Life-affirming! Opportunities for butt-tent purchase!

So, all is well. I'm well, my traveling friend is well, Spud is well. I've had fun being in and near Truth or Consequences and seeing Sue, Steve (thanks for the Reiki, Steve!), and Annie. It was just the thing to transition me back into solo living.

It was time to leave Truth or Consequences, but not time to head back up the mountain. I wasn't sure where I'd land tonight, but it seems to be here ---> X

After a year-and-a-half of faithful, near-constant use, I retired the Original Butt-Tent™. I bought the 2014 model - keeping up with the Joneses, you know.

Neither gone nor forgotten

Thanks for helping me celebrate my millionth hit! That was fun.

Las Cruces, New Mexico farmer's market, and The Vagabond Tabby.

Kate from The Vagabond Tabby sent me a present! Squee! Thank you! Soap is so mmm.

The basil lemongrass smells like waking up in the garden, but without the hangover. Lady Vagabond leaves me feeling conflicted. Suds up, or bite it? Luckily, the bar is generous enough for both, so the answer is yes.

Cheryl and I hit the Las Cruces farmer's market hard.

Cheryl suckered them into posing, and I swooped in for the click.

They were covering REO Speedwagon. Imagine it.

We're enjoying wifi and hi-test at Spirit Winds right now.

Another blogger reports earning $500 - $600/month through her Amazon link. Please allow me to fall over in a graceful swoon. I wish her only the best and HOLY MACAROONS! I just want to report that this is an order of magnitude more magnitudinous than my experience. I ♥ my experience! Such blazing success is not the norm, though, in case you wonder.



Calvin from Facebook tells us that the Habitent also fits the Honda Insight, and that TailVeil offers butt-tent options for other models.

Cheryl encouraged me out of my funk and into cleaning Spud up. Poor Spud has been in a desert sandy funk, too.

And, lookee what I got her!

Made by Habitents.

There are varying degrees of privacy available, depending on what you zip open or closed.

The Habitent is rain-resistant, I'm told.

Cheryl and I drove up to Truth or Consequences ("TorC" to us New Mexicans) to meet Sue and Lyn.

I'm sorry, Phil. Looks like this stance wasn't your father's fault after all.

  

Lark. Lark!Lark!Lark!Lark!

We toured Riverbend while we were here. So THIS is where they're keeping the Rio Grande. Nice resort on the river.

For fun, check out La Paloma's website - that's my pic!
