Awake: 7:47am Temp 68 sleep 6+42 a few clouds overnight @ Fort Lauderdale, FL.
Kathy makes a nice breakfast & bargains with me on cleaning up the dishes; she will do that if I continue searching for our next campground. "OK" I tell her. The rest of the morning I call and/or use the computer searching (14) campgrounds; finally, I find one further north that's in the vicinity of our interest, reasonably priced & big rig friendly.
Around 3:45pm, Tammy knocks on our door; I had offered her a free tour of our motorhome if she could maneuver a few more days for us to stay in this campground. She did & today she takes us up on my offer. Tammy is no spring chicken but she has been, more or less, the leader of the front desk for over (20) yrs now; Kathy gives her the special 25 cent tour & then we gab for another hr about her earlier days when she & her husband were full time RVing. We really appreciated her going the extra mile to accommodate us & making us feel welcome here.
Nick calls while walking home from Isilon; tonight is my turn....so we talk tech talk relating to his company & his obligations when he travels to meet with business customers. Other subjects involving Jerry & Eriko were also covered. He tells me it's not as cold walking home this evening as it was last night.
Dinner: stuffed peppers & corn on the cob....while watching our favorite TV channels.
Evening movie: "White Heat" with James Cagney, Virginia Mayo, Edmond O'Brien, Margaret Wycherly, Steve Cochran. Cagney returned to gangster films, older but forceful as ever, as psychopathic hood with mother obsession; May is his neglected wife. O'Brien, the cop, is out to get him. "Top of the World" finale is now movie legend. 1949. Interestingly enough, the police used some high tech homing devices to catch these thugs in action; which was entertaining in itself. Save this one for a rainy day.
Lights out: 12:08am
