BRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
anyone who tells you it never gets cold down south is either full of it, or they've never spent any time down here. this is what i woke up to this morning.
now granted, it all burned off a half hour later, once the sun was really hitting it, and its supposed to get nice later, it was still DARN chilly this morning!
in other news... lol last week, after we'd been camp hosts for all of... 2 days? another Airstream showed up on the lot! well of course, i had to wander on over and investigate. turns out, it belongs to a member of the same forums i belong to! Airstream Forums! i sat around and talked to them for so long, my husband almost sent out the search parties for me! they left the next day, but later that evening, ANOTHER Airstream pulled in! no pictures of this one, sorry. and on Sunday night, we had one more come in real late at night. imagine that... we spent all that time in various state parks and never saw any, and now we've seen 3 in a week!

God is still laughing....
well. sorry for the long time with no posts. my ability to get online for the last month has been patchy at best. we were originally in the Memphis TN area (where we picked up Moby) because, due to changing plans, we were trying to get a job with a trucking company. Swift, specifically. well, they jerked us around for over a month, and finally ... FINALLY... told both of us we weren't hired, so here we are, broke, no job, no plan, in a very crappy area. i apologize to anyone who lives there, but Memphis TN and West Memphis Arkansas are the armpit of america. (at least the parts of them that i saw).
not really sure what else to do, i turned to searching online, when i could get online (free wifi at McAllister's Deli) i searched for how did other RVers make money on the road. most of what i found pointed at workamping... or work camping. where usually a camper, or a camping couple, will do some kind of minor job for a park (anything from office help to maintenance) and stay for no charge. sometimes, depending on how much work there is to do, there's a salary involved. well, i started looking, making phone calls, sending e-mails, and everything... and we found a nice little park right on the outskirts of Montgomery AL. i making this post sitting behind the desk on my first official 'day on the job'. we get to stay for no charge for the simple task of working 3 weekends a month. thats not bad at all for a park with full hook-ups and free cable and wifi! plus, if we clean the bathhouse 3 times a week, we get $15 for each time cleaned. not much, but not bad for about an hour's worth of work, either. There's also alot of construction going on localy, so my husband might be able to get into that for a little more money coming in. good news... good news... good news :D
and the title... was because i had, when we were driving to FL for the very first time, complained to my husband about how all the AL drivers i had ever had any experience with were, shall we say... not so good...and my assertation was backed up shortly after we first entered the state, and got cut off by a poor driver while trying to enter a parking lot so we could stop for food. almost caused a wreck. well... after all my complaining... where are we? Alabama!
the park we're staying in is The Woods RV Park. if you're ever in the neighborhood... come check it out. :D

Moby dog!
ok, long story short, this little guy was owned by some young people who still lived at home with their dad. dad said "dog can't stay in our house!" (prime example of why you should always ok it with whoever yer living with FIRST before you bring home that cute lil fuzzy!) so he lived with the grandparents. all was well until he started growing up and getting stronger. it seems his young exuberant puppy self was too much for the people he was with, and he apparently pulled grandma off the front porch about a week or so ago. they said "enough is enough" and gave him to a friend of thiers. he let the little guy run free... because he couldn't afford to erect a fence. so he took to hanging out at the campground we're staying at. and last night he came directly to our trailer. and never left. all night.
i took him home the next morning, and he chased the truck BACK to the campsite.
we asked the owner about it, and he said "ya want him? i can't keep him, and i don't wanna see him get run over on the road or shot by a hunter. give him a good home, and he's yours."
so... we have another dog now. O.o
