Back from another overnighter...

tenaya...and am home, safe and sound. The cats missed us. :)
This time we went to a rock and gem show at the Avi Casino at the tip of Nevada. Bought some cool stuff. Spent $10 on an Walk Like An Egyptian slot machine and had a great time watching the silly graphics for 20 minutes.
In the Fort Mojave tribe language, Whalia means moon, and Malika means ground squirrel. I'm tempted to rename Abby....
It was a good thing we postponed the trip from leaving on Wednesday night. The road near the Colorado had been closed due to flooding, flash floods so we would have been stranded at the casino, not to mention would have had a hellish drive out there on Wednesday. At Quartzsite, where we were two weeks ago, "A California Department of Transportation spokeswoman says a tornado near the Arizona state line has toppled big-rigs and downed high-voltage power poles atop a car with a person inside." Glad we missed that.
And again, was amused by the desert inhabitants. They are peculiar. Had an interesting talk with a jovial man who was explaining how he can see the 12th dimension where God exists. Luckily, God's one truth is Love, and his footprint is creativity. Apparently, after 2001, the horrendousness of 9/11 hastened things. We have all been given 12 years to choose sides between Love/God and evil. There is no area of grey. I don't/can't love Rush Limbaugh. What that means for my immortal soul, I don't know.
Also, I have a Stargate keychain bob hanging from my rearview mirror. I silently amused myself by observing it on the various desert landscapes we drove through. Even after all these years, I still think a Stargate on a alien landscape is the coolest thing.
