Life in Wendover (continued)

Here is a picture of the golf course and driving range. My son and I walk past it nearly every day on our way to the post office. They don't deliver the mail out here. You have to go to the post office to pick it up. My son and I are becoming a part of the city, it would seem. People come up to me... Sign in to see full entry.

My son is feeling a little bit better this morning

He had a bit of a rough night and is still running a bit of a fever but it seems that worst has passed. No more puking, so far today. He's having a nap now to make up for lost sleep last night. I cancelled this morning's karate class because Trey usually goes with me. My wife and I have scheduled... Sign in to see full entry.

Short post tonight

My son is sick tonight, running a high fever. He's just laying in bed with my wife, awake but not moving. That's the first clue right there because he never stops moving. He's on the go from the time he gets up until you force him to bed. His fever is pretty high so we are keeping a close eye on... Sign in to see full entry.

I'm Puerto Rican/American

I'm part of a majority here in Wendover, I suppose. I say that I suppose because with the new guidelines, I'm not really sure where I fall. If you go by my ancestry, I would say that I'm probably English/American. If you go back further, I'm probably Dutch/American. Further? Middle-eastern/American.... Sign in to see full entry.

We Recycle. Do you?

(This is another picture taken from in front of my house, facing the opposite direction.) I was having dinner with a couple of other supervisors last week and we were discussing a recently terminated emloyee. He had decided on several occasions not to come to work and didn't bother to call to say... Sign in to see full entry.

Back to our regularly scheduled program

I took this picture standing in the road in front of my house. People say that with the railroad being where it is, it's unlikely anyone will build on the south side of my house. Nice. Back to "Life in Wendover" and back to Smith's where I can tell you why I mentioned it before. Sunday, we went... Sign in to see full entry.

Happy Halloween

I'm going to take a short break from explaining life in Wendover and talk about my son's first go at Trick or Treating. Let me first explain that my wife has wanted to buy him Winnie the Pooh stuff since the beginning of his life. Let me add that I have not. "Look at these shoes. Aren't they cute?"...

When there is a lack of competition (Life in Wendover)

Wendover has one grocery store. I guess I should be lucky that there is a grocery store here but let me relate this bit of oddity to you. I have an 18 month old son. He rides in the seat secton of the cart when we shop. It's either that or play take-away with the little octopus. =) Smith's has a... Sign in to see full entry.

Whose fault is it?

That's the relevant question when we start talking about money. Who is going to pay for the damage done. Guessing what the insurance companies said is a no-brainer. Both of them said it was the other person's fault. One said that my wife was the only moving vehicle and that's the end. The other said... Sign in to see full entry.

Two days ago was not the best of mornings for my wife

The local tow truck driver is not allowed to park his flatbed at his house. I guess the residents complained about it and their are commercial vehicle parking laws so he usually parks his truck in the desert. I live on the edge at sort of a dead end but where the pavement ends, a dirt road begins. 3... Sign in to see full entry.
