Time for a little shout out for a few of my favorite RV things, a gripe, and a request for input.
Squeegees - Four years ago, while staying at my brother-in-law's, I fell in love the squeegee he had in his guest bathroom. I couldn't wait to get home to get one for the house and one for the RV. Unfortunately, I never could find that brand at home in Washington State. When dear BIL sold his house and was moving to another, he gifted me that squeegee. I have been using it in my own bathroom ever since. When we packed the RV to head south, I decided to leave the good squeegee at home for the house sitter. I purchased a new squeegee for the rig. It was pretty and sparkle-ly.
However, the first time I took a shower, I realized it was useless in the small confines of an RV shower. The blade is 11.5" and overall it is 12" wide. There was only one section of the shower stall where I could easily use it. Dang!
On a trip to Walmart we picked up an O'Cedar squeegee. One use with that and I remembered how I didn't like that brand because you had to push on it so hard to get the rubber to actually connect with the surface.
Then Kim made a trip to Ralph's (a Kroger affiliate store) for some ice. And what to his wondering eyes should appear.......a squeegee just like the one Tom gave us, right there!
The blade is just 7.75" wide and fits all but one little section of the shower stall where the wall rounds to connect with the door. I am now a happy camper!
Sheets - On our last long RV trip, I did battle with sheets on the bed all the time. I didn't know RV mattresses were shorter than regular mattresses. We are short people so we just never noticed. It was such a hassle to change those sheets; we had to use sheet garters to keep them on the bed. It always took both of us to do this. One to hold the mattress up off the bed frame, and one to hook on the garters. Then I found RV sheets on Amazon. You long term RVers probably knew this, but it was a very pleasant surprise for me. And I love these sheets. They stay nice and cool at night. Not only does the bottom sheet fit, but the top sheet has a fitted bottom! Here's a link to the ones I bought. I'm not affiliated with the company. One of these days I'll figure out how to do a screen shot on my MacBookPro.
Queen Sized RV Sheets I Got From Amazon
My other new purchase before we left on this trip was one of the NuWave Induction Cook Tops; the single burner one. I didn't buy it from the TV infomercial, because I wasn't sure I was going to like it, so I didn't want to do the BOGOF offer in case I had to send it back. I just went to Walmart and bought it from their "As Seen On TV" Department. I've been very pleased with it. It makes great fried chicken and great pork chops. Here's their website, but my disclaimer is this - watch for all the added extras for which you just pay "shipping and handling" Some of those fees are outrageously high. I'm pleased with mine, but like I said, I got it at Walmart so there were no added fees. I also made a trip to Ikea to get the pans that have the induction symbol on the bottom. I had priced other induction pans at Target and Bed, Bath and Beyond. Ikea's were less expensive and a better quality, IMHO anyway. Unfortunately my T-fal pans, that I love, wouldn't work with the induction cooktop, but the ones I got from Ikea work just fine.
NuWave Induction Cooktop/Burner
Now for my little, itty, bitty gripe. I've been reading lots of RV and travel blogs recently. It may get boring or repetitive to continually make mention of where you are, especially if you are somewhere long term, but please do it anyway. Lots of times people mention parks or towns or restaurants, and I have no idea where the are. I may go back a few entries to see if it is readily apparent in a previous post, but more often than not, it isn't. So pretty please, let your reader's know where you are. We may want to visit there too! We are currently camping at Champagne Lakes RV Park in Escondido, CA. I really like it here.
Tomorrow we are off to visit the San Diego Zoo's Safari Park. We've signed up for a Caravan Safari. I'm quite excited to go. If you've been and have any insights you like to share or don't miss opportunities, please share let me know.

Thank you so much for this valuable piece of history. You have certainly added to my husband's family with your info. My husband, Dave, is descended from Isaac Mueller, born 7/2/1812 in Shenandoah County, Va. I have tons of research and history from that point on. If you have any questions for me, just give me an e-mail. How are you related or are you one of those kind people who pass on info from other families? I have visited the farm that Peter and Christina are buried on. There is nothing of the burial plot except two partially buried crosses. The place we found them had originally been the farmer's cow pasture and perhaps something else. He knew exactly where they were and was kind enough to show all that he thought was left. I wonder???Peter came from Germany at age 16 in 1793. He joined kin already here. Thank you so much for more on Christina.

I just made a sesame salmon roulade for my dinner - with some greens (asparagus/broc) and some salad. Those who know me, know that I love salad. I think salad should be served with every meal. I had to be talked out of serving salad, with curry, to G's 2 male cousins (aged 17 and 20 at the time). I like big salads with lots of different ingredients that become the meal, not a side. I use whatever is fresh in our fridge and supplement with tinned things as required (corn kernels, tuna chunks). I like to take salad to work for lunch, and I serve at practically every dinner. So although I didn't want to make the mango/papaya salad that is supposed to accompany this salmon I knew it had to have salad of some sort!
The hardest part was taking the skin off the fish - because none of my knives are really pointy enough, but I got through it. Then I cut the fillet so it was long - key here is to buy a skinny, but tall, fillet. Season, and roll up and just hold together with a skewer or two.
5 minutes in the oven, a couple of minutes resting and then you're done.
Simple but with super effective presentation. The rolling/skewer combination with the golden crust of sesame seeds makes this dish look pretty impressive - and looks like it took far more time than it really did. Although this works best cooked and served immediately I think that this would be excellent for a dinner party, just because it looks so good!

I have enjoyed watching Stephen Fry's "planet world" on BBC2; factual, humerous and fascinating. Episode 3 this week has spoken to me deeply in one tiny section relating to how nurses will refer to the death of a child....
A little one for the rainbows end
I've never heard that before, even though I've heard and even referred to the similar phrase for adult death "rose garden". It's poignant that it's this week when I learn of this beautiful way of speaking with reverence about the loss of a child.
And it seems only fitting that the Babyloss remembrance service will be held tomorrow at the very place that I photographed at the rainbows end.

The book tells the story of a piglet and a hedgehog, who discover a poster attached to their house that says: "If you do not know God, you are missing something!" This frightens them because they had never suspected at all that anything was missing in their lives. Thus they set out to look for "God." Along the way they encounter a rabbi, a bishop and a mufti...
An English translation of the book can be found here and the illustrations here, I have to say I thought it looked very nice. One of the commentator's on denialism left the following comment which I liked and will post here and hopefully neither denialism not the poster will mind.
I got the book yesterday and read it. So... is it evil atheistic garbage? I don't think so. As a matter of fact, I was positively surprised at the content. There is snark about religion, but it's not a lot of it. My favorite part is the last page where about a dozen people of all sizes, shapes and ethnicities are drawn naked, with only the Christian bishop, the rabbi and the mufti being ashamed of their nudity.
As to the rest of the book, here's a rundown of the criticism: The piglet is astonished that it's mother should have been Jewish for it to be Jewish, as well. It's sad about God killing all the people and animals in the Great Flood, and it asks the rabbi how, if humans can invent gods (as he claims), he knows that the God he prays to is not an invention.
With the Christian priest, the piglet is turned off by the idea of God sending his own son to be crucified in order to wash our sins away with blood ("icky blood"), as well as the Catholic idea of eating a part of Jesus's body during mass (it calls the Catholics »cannibals« then, leading to the authors being sued by a Catholic ministry).
Finally the piglet and its friend get to the mosque, where they're surprised by the idea of praying five times a day and having to wash beforehand every time. They inquire how the people know that Mohammed didn't make those rules up and are being chased out of the mosque for it.
Outside, on the temple hill (where all three "temples" stand), the three priests meet, try to catch the piglet and its friend, but get into a physical argument about which faith sports the worst kind of hell. In the meantime, the piglet goes home and enjoys life again, all the while having a laugh about those funny humans: »If there is a God, he's surely not living in those haunted castles«.
All in all, the book is open about criticism of the biblical faiths, but I wouldn't say it's overly dismissive, offensive or even hateful. It *is* literature designed to get children off their faith, or better even, literature designed for humanists, atheists or whatever to give to their kids. And in that, it's not only a book about the value of free minds, critical thinking or the like, but a book about strange or silly ideas in faith (with the above-mentioned examples).
A separate post in the comments section has some reaction to the book, I found this one to be particularly funny.
The perfidious and dangerous thing is that the very attractive graphical presentation is aimed at young children, which are defenceless against such anti-religious agitationOf course there is no sense of irony in the above statement, but it does show religious leaders are aware of the malleability of young minds and how crucial it is to wrap them at an early stage.

Your descendants shall gather your fruits. -- Virgil
We will still debate if this is the best way to go if the price were
the same. With the price difference, I am cheap enough to choose this way every
time. The travel is harder without a break, but it is over much sooner.
Tomorrow we will spend the day in Lome exchanging money and doing
some site seeing…and resting.
It looks like we will only have access to the internet maybe twice the whole
trip so we will not be posting much. My new computer does not have a port for a
land line so we have to go to an internet cafe to get online. Not too bad but
not as easy to get to. Today we stayed in Lome exchanging money, buying some
bibles to take to the village, and shopping a bit. Nothing real profound today,
but always good to be back here enjoying the sights and sounds of Lome. Not so
much the smells!
Today we came to Keve. We are staying in a hotel here that is not bad for
Africa. It doesn't have air conditioning but it does have toilets and showers,
which is more than I can say for the last place. Tomorrow morning we will start
the training in Badja with a group of 20-25 pastors. As I understand only one
of them is an ordained pastor and the rest are leading churches and preaching
every week but since they have no training they cannot be ordained. This
training will mean a lot to them. To gain credibility in the community and
respect from their church it is helpful to be ordained. However, they simply
have no access to this kind of training. Since this training was approved for
ordination, they should all be anxious to complete it. We will see.
Both Lary and I are in great health and feeling good. The jet lag was minimal
so that has not been a problem either. We are taking a lot of precaution eating
and drinking and it has paid off. Lary has this new gadget that "nukes" the
water with an UV light. It is supposed to kill everything in the water. I am
convinced it was a great investment.
Pray for the training tomorrow. We are excited to see what God will do.
September 6
What a tiring day! We got up at 6 to prepare for the training and for the trip
to Badja where the "classroom" is located. We hired a local taxi to take us
there and it cost us $10, which I thought was a lot to go 6 miles. I later
learned that taxis have a route they take and you pay for the whole route no
matter how far you are going when you hire one that doesn't pick up other
passengers. In Togo, if you get a taxi you only are purchasing a seat, not the
whole thing. Therefore, if another person needs a ride they will stop and pile
them in. We were able to get the full experience on the way back. It was late
in the day and there were not many taxis out so we had to share a ride. Lary
and I were two of fourteen in this taxi, which is not uncommon here. In fact,
that is probably average for what we see here. Often you will see at least that
many plus a few goats and chickens to make the experience even more fun.
The training session went really well. We had nineteen sign up when we were
here in June. We had twenty five show up today. Word has gotten out that this
training will be accredited by the Baptist Convention of Togo. Daniel has said
that church leaders are calling him now wanted to be a part but he has to turn
them away. The training is not as effective with a larger group so we limited
it to twenty five pastors. At that time we didn't think we would have that many
so it wasn't a big issue. Now, Daniel and I have decided to split the group up
in to two regions. This may complicate my project, but I will figure that out
as I go. The main thing is we are training pastors in this region and they are
responding incredibly! Splitting into two regions helps in two ways. First,
many of them will not have to travel as far. One man rode his bicycle 19 miles
one way to get to the training. While I am impressed with his diligence, I
cannot expect him to do that every week, especially during the rainy season.
The second way it will help is the size of the group. If we split it up into
two regions we could theoretically have two groups of twenty five in the
training. While this is a bit ambitious, I will not under-estimate what God may
do here. They value the education and the opportunity to learn. Some may go
through the program and go off to the seminary in Lomè then on to other
opportunities in the city. While that is not my initial desire, it is still a
good thing. The purpose of the training in the rural areas is to train rural
pastors so they can be more effective in those same areas. If they leave, they
have not had the impact where we have intended. I also realize that a rising
tide raises all ships. Meaning, if we are educating pastors and church leaders,
the kingdom benefits regardless of the location.
The men sat on wooden benches six hours today while Daniel and I taught. I was
tired of standing but I cannot imagine how tired they were of sitting on these
benches. I went through the initial information and pre-tests to test their
knowledge of the subject matter and then we took a 15 minute break. That break
was after two hours of tests and information. We then started again and went
another four hours with no break. I was hungry and wanted to take a break but
they insisted that we keep going. So we started at nine and went straight
through to three o'clock. I stopped teaching at 2:45 but then Daniel spoke for
a while about the possibility of breaking into two groups and identifying a
location to meet.
Today we taught on the Priority of Scripture and the Purpose of Scripture in the
life of the pastor.
I can receive texts here for free so please send me messages. It is costly to
reply but I do on occasion. I can also receive phone calls if there is an
emergency(for $3.50 per minute). I am very pleased that my new US phone works
here. It makes it seem like we are connected a bit more.
Since we will be out in the rural areas, we will not have access to email, no
electricity, no fresh water, or good food, or…… Thanks for praying!

It's That Time Again: Poll Time!!
January 18, 2010 Leave a comment Go to comments
Let's take a quick look at some of the polls in the last few days:
- Fifty-eight percent of Americans now say they disapprove of the way President Barack Obama is handling the health-care issue, while only 37% say they approve, the lowest level of his presidency, according to a Gallup poll released today (Jan 13, 2010)
- Sixty-two percent of Americans now say the country has veered seriously off on to the wrong track, according to a new poll from the Washington Post and ABC News. That is up 14 points from April 2009 (Jan 12-15, 2010)
- Fifty-eight percent said they favor a smaller government with fewer services, and only 38 percent said they favor a larger government with more services. (Wash Post, Jan 12-15, 2010)
- Scott Brown leads Martha Coakley 51-46 in our final Massachusetts Senate poll, an advantage that is within the margin of error for the poll. (PPP – Jan 17, 2010)
Hmmm. Seems to be a common thread here… Maybe that the US hate Obama's agenda?

Into the Woods (The Hollows Anthology) Excerpt is Available
I gotta say I'm loving all of the new Hollows updates these days. While the pull of the upcoming anthology's release has motivated me to finally finish the ARC of this novel (I've had it since June, I'm a terrible Hollows snob, I know), I figured you guys would love to get a taste of the premiere story, Million Dollar Baby, that showcases what happens during Pale Demon as Trent and Jenks go on their bromance-filled quest. To read it, just click here.
I'm finishing up the whole thing myself (I'm about 70% done now, made good progress today), but I made sure to read Million Dollar Baby the second I got my paws on it. Priorities are priorities. Either way, I can guarantee Hollows fans are in for a rare treat and some pretty interesting insights.
So, how are you liking the excerpt so far?
2 responses
Man I want the ARC. I am currently reading the ARC for Felicity Heaton's Fifth Her Angel novel in the series; Her Demonic Angel. I like it so far! Only read through chapter two; so not much to say. Have you read any of these books from the series? Ah but if I had Kim Harrison's ARC…. HEAVEN!!!!!!! She is my favorite author!!! and Jim Butcher. I guess it sort of a tie in First Place.

Kind of a special post on this one and with a dedication as well to my ole pal, bosom buddy, chumley, and life-long friend. You know Ed over at Ed's Attic, the guy with the vinyl boots and softcore porn?
Marking a first for a 8-track rip, this sounds a lot better than it looks. The uploader uses a pro rig and the bottom end sounds great, a bit similar to vinyl, enjoy this rarity that ushered in a whole new Deep Purple era. Short-lived but tremendous…..The Horror!!
In 1974, Rolling Stone called this album "a passable but disappointing effort" and that the new material was "largely drab and ordinary,"….The Horror!!
Did you have one of THESE when you were young? If so, congratulations, you're perfect for this blog….The Horror!!

Eric Fiorillo Host of Train and Gain and The Award Winning Motivation and Muscle Podcast Show Welcomes His Co-Host Erin Mackin to the show. Erin is a marine, nutritional coach, owner of Paleo Effects, Strength Trainer and Exercise Coach.
Eric and Erin start the show off on the importance of taking time off from your training.
This is a subject which a lot of trainees have mixed feelings about. Some trainees will tell you to deload for a week or maybe you should drop a heavy exercise or two and this will get you back to your old form.
Erin and Eric have tried this method multiple times and it doesn't work. The only way to thoroughly rest the body, heal your injuries and mentally regroup is to take the time needed out of the gym. If you want to become razor sharp once again rest will reward you.
One thing Eric and Erin talked about was the ability to make any needed changes to your program and set a few new goals to look forward to in the near future with time off. Just doing a few things like this will have you so ready to dive back into the iron with lots of vigor and aggression.
Envision this. New records will be set, your mind will be generating big horsepower again, and your recovery will be through the stratosphere. When you rest everything comes in line and you enjoy your passion fully once again.
Erin whips up a tasty treat. She gives us the recipe for homemade Paleo dark chocolate. She even adds some protein powder to it if that suites your taste buds. Everyone knows the benefits of dark chocolate and what a tasty treat it is.
Erin also teaches us how to slow cook lamb shanks. The recipe she uses will make your mouth water. What a super high protein meal to have after a blistering workout. One word comes to mind when you eat like that. I refer to it as big Muscle GAINS! We all want that don't we?
