Whulp.
It's official. I'm actually living the lifestyle of the glamorous Lisa Douglas (aka Eva Gabor)-- albeit no fancy-schmancy "cosmeteticals" and "hotscakes" and thankfully- I don't have to climb the pole to talk on the telephone!! But, I do get better internet reception if I climb the roof... so... I had the nice guys from DirectTV/ATT Wildblue come and install a dish. It's not as fast as DSL but it beats the price of installing a phone line, an extra online service and suffering through dial-up modems.
So.... what can I say about the country life?
Hmmm..... it's quiet? Well. If the guinnas aren't squaking!
Hooterville and Pixley are just a mile or two down the road? Try eleven. And... you have to drive through Barney Fife's-dom to get there. No kidding. I got pulled over 2 miles out of his jurisdiction because he didn't recognize me as a "local" yet. Warned me that my license plate lighting was "out" and in violation of state code and because he was just SURE I was speeding down a hill. Not a CHANCE I told him... but, my lights were out! I'm just wondering how he coerced my lights into both going out at the same time while I happened to be driving through his little hamlet?? Hmmmm????
Oh! Here's something I can say about country life! My dh has provided me with (not only) a lovely SUNSET WINDOW but a SUNRISE view, too! Well.. actually GOD provides them- but, you know what I mean? All I can say is WOW! I've not seen this many gorgeous sunset evenings since I was a kid! AWESOME views from our little place! A feast for the artist's soul! Colors of such magnificance.... well- I'm inspired every where I look! Oranges, pinks, yellows and purples! Haven't seen a red one yet- but, I'm sure there will be one!
The other nice thing about rural living? Everything goes to bed EARLY! Us included! Except for our cats.... which is a whole 'nother "tail" to be told. So.. I'm off to hit the hay. I'm tuckered out and got class tomorrow- but am delighted to be back and "in touch" with my virtual world!
So.. in Lisa's very poetic way and our best Zsa Zsa imitation.... goot night dah-lings!
