Bowled over.....

 7:15 am - Sunday - January 2nd - Anza Borrego Desert, CA - 27° F (our coldest morning so far), 43% humidity, wind - CALM....at last!  Crystal clear, blue skies today with a forecast high of just 57° F.  On this date in 2012 TLE and I were having coffee at Kona Joe's in Cedar Key, FL.....yup, Kona coffee, for sure....↴

I'm trying to remember the last New Years morning I turned on the TV and watched most of the Rose Parade, and then spent rest of the day watching one college football bowl game after another, but that is exactly what I did.  There was the Outback Bowl, Sugar Bowl, Rose Bowl, Citrus Bowl, and Fiesta Bowl....not necessarily in that order.  Most of the games Sunday were competitive, but two really stood out.....one was the Rose Bowl which was tied 45-45 (Ohio State and Utah State) with with 12 seconds to go, ultimately won by Ohio State 48-45 on a last second field goal, and then the Fiesta Bowl won by Oklahoma State 37-35 over Notre Dame.....either game could have gone either way.

The winds returned again around mid morning, and did not leave for good until late afternoon.  Our batteries reached 100% by 10 am, so we watched virtually every bowl game using our inverter  until well after 6 pm.  It appears we will be leaving our boondock site around January 12th, or 13th to head into Arizona where we will have our annual dental checkups, visit Quartzite, and spend time with our friends Tom and Darlene at their property near Surprise, AZ where there will be some big Newell projects undertaken such as replacing our 8 air bags, and 4 shocks.

After a couple of weeks of pretty cold, and often windy days it looks like we are in for a warming trend where we will see mostly days with highs in the 70's, and lows in the 40's for the next 10+ days.  Today as I finish today's missive there is not a single cloud visible anywhere.  The skies have that wonderful clarity you get sometimes, and our flag is hanging limp, meaning we have not so much as a breath of breeze, or wind from any direction.
