TAKING CARE OF BUSINESS

A day of RV cleaning, taking showers, dumping tanks, taking on fresh water, dealing with corporations re: billing issues, a little laundry, a touch of shopping (hiking-shoe laces. sunscreen. tomatoes. pecan-maple bread. Just the basics.) and then back home. This weekend is "Borrego Days" here in Borrego Springs, and the town is gearing up for a rousing influx of tourists anxious to see vendor booths (not quite sure what they're all selling), high school marching bands, and other desert-type stuff. We just wanted to get out of their way, so we've stocked up on yarn, wine, and local bread (Dudley's Bakery has some outstanding loaves in the store here - we've been living on the "Western Wheat Gourmet Buns" for several days now!). As we left town, a long line of portable toilets and dumpsters were being placed in the town center (I think they're expecting 8,000 people or so, tomorrow and Sunday) - it should be fun for those that enjoy parades and so on. We'll be out here on the desert for the weekend, possibly heading out on Monday...
