COLD DARK ROOM

[Cathie G]

Just received some good news. Next Tuesday I get my new power wheelchair. Darn things cost as much as a new small car.
32,000 dollars! Thank goodness for insurance.
The base price starts at about 10,000. When you add on the upgrades. That's when the price gets crazy.

Good for you! I hope you enjoy it.😘

Happy Saturday

My Smithsonian friends sent this impromptu plant quiz/ID out a few days ago. Folks here - especially in East Coast - might find it interesting & a good challenge,

Wow...$32k! What does a poor guy do?
Never move? Temu?

I am really glad that you can get the upgrades you need, the cost doesn't matter when you spend your day in it....it needs to be as NICE as you can make it! Congrats

Kerry and I went to the park in our first day trip in her new car. We just laid the ebikes in the rear instead of folding them and putting them into the plastic bins. Didn't work, used too much space. Back to the bins. This is a learning process so it's ok.

Saw this guy at the parks Nature Center

One VERY dry box turtle! I was able to track down some contact info last night, maybe I'll reach out for a chat. They have a great place, they just don't know that they don't know, about this guy anyway.
Cool day on the Ocean


WW2 coastal defense battery. Big guns make big holes....size does matter!
And found a weird thing

Some kind of animal...well, was. Lol
