Yesterday I cleaned my little RV, a chore I gladly will put off forever. But I was expecting company. When I booked my trip to South Africa I joined a website called CouchSurfers. This is a group of world travelers who host other travelers and stay at people’s houses. I’ve had a few interested folks but they all went to South Rim of Grand Canyon instead of the North Rim (the poor fools). Anyway, a young man from the UK made a couch request and I offered my camper for the night. He called last night lost so I told him to stay at the Lodge and I’d come lead him into my place. It was dark and would have been hard to find my turn off. I waited in the Lodge at the appointed place for an hour. Not a total waste as I saw a fellow Ranger’s evening program. Then once back home I sent him an email, didn’t have a phone number. And sure enough, he was on the South Rim and hadn’t read my note reminding him I’m on the North Rim. Oh well. But I cleaned my house for nothing.
I also took this video of the hummingbirds right outside my window. So thought I’d share it. Sorry about the background noise, I had NPR on. Yet you can also hear the hummers if you listen closely. Still practicing video. I hear practice makes better.
