Desert Life



Jim rinsed the dust off the roof of the RV so he could spray and mop rubber roof treatment over it.  All of the water around the rig attracted wildlife such as this lizard.  This one was pretty good size, harmless, just looking for a drink.  The only poisonous reptile around is the Gila Monster.   The desert may look desolate but there is a lot of life out there.  It is also very beautiful in a different way from the blues and greens up north.   

This is the start of our 5th winter in a desert area and we really have learned to love the desert.  It is so nice to get up everyday and its sunny, warm and dry.  The temperature has stayed in the high 70's, low 80's and up until a day or two ago was only going down to the 50's at night.  Now it is starting to get a little colder at night -- into the low 40's. 

I took the plunge and went to the dentist in Mexico.  It was a very good experience.  All the latest equipment, very nice waiting area , I saw the instuments taken out of their sterile packaging.  So I had a crown done.  The cost was $250 and its porcelain and matches my other teeth perfectly so I can't complain.
