Exploring

We didn't go too far afield today: just took a walk around the park lake. We love to be near water, even if it's just a creek or small lake. As we walked along, turtles plopped into the water from the logs and sticks they'd been sunning on. The family of ducks resting in the shade near the shore paid little attention to us. I think they're used to people 8-)

One less than positive part was the smell of dead fish at one point, yuck, though we couldn't see it.

We walked through the very large storage area too, and came upon an "open house." A small motor home was being advertized for sale, with the open door inviting the curious (like us) to come in. It was only 30 feet long and had no slides, but impressed us with its clever design. The L-shaped sofa made a large seating area, and behind it was a breakfast bar--actually the only eating area--with two chairs, a very economical use of space.

We watched an episode of The Sixties tonight on the impact of television. Lots of good memories of the shows of our youth, like I Spy and Twilight Zone and the Smothers Brothers and Rowan and Martin's Laugh In, and reminders of how important television was in the Kennedy Nixon debate and the coverage of Kennedy's assassination and the war in Vietnam.
