Back on line

Another beautiful Southern Oregon sunset. The shade was welcome after hitting 107.
















Everything slows down in that kind of heat. (including our move-in date)















We went to see Linda Ronstadt a few weeks ago at the Britt. The venue is very nice. Bring a picnic dinner, a couple of shorty chairs and you've got a wonderful evening.
The alder inside doors are here and being installed.

The hardwood floors are almost in.
and the back patio is complete.
















They are finishing the stone on the front of the house. Looks like there will be left over stone.














and there is always time for a hike with friends.

and now...

Stories from the Limo Man, Chapter 2.

The limo man was slowed this week as one of the limos had mechanical failure. He did have a birthday gig last night for some 16 year old girls from Etna, California, although pickup and dropoff were in Medford. They were treated to the best of service with a bouquet of roses for the birthday girl, chocolates, and the red carpet rolled out several times, particularly when there was a crowd around.

As usual the limo man explained the rules. No hanging out the windows, no feet on the bar and play the music as loud as you want. The latter also helps to confirm how much fun they are having. After this night he decided he would check on city noise ordinances. He was amazed at the comments and screams that come from these youngsters. Most of these were directed towards young men about their age. "Raise your shirt and show me your Pecs" and "We just won the lottery" are samples. The limo man is also getting an appreciation for the music these youngsters play these days. It brings back a lot of old memories.

We went to a new burger drive in near town. It is called Sonic. Very popular here. Most of you baby boomers would appreciate this. They wait on you at the car and bring the food to the window on a tray, some on roller skates. Since the limo wouldn't fit in the stalls they had to go inside. The most important thing though was that it was a place to be seen by young men and make lots of noise. Our next stop was Ashland, lots of cruising and loud music. It was their favorite spot as there were lots of people around the park and downtown. More pictures were taken at the park for all to share with family and friends. The girls did curb their screams around the Shakespearean theatre to avoid any tickets for the limo man. Most people smiled and waved back.

We ended the night back in Medford for more cruising and screaming. Upon arriving back in Medford, the parents were there to greet them. Generally they were well behaved and only broke the rule of hanging out the window once.
