In Arizona



The plane pictured here is one of Pterodactyl Airlines (actually Great Lakes Airlines) finest transports - a Beechcraft 1900-D. It seats a whole 19 passengers, although there were only two of us on board from Phoenix to Prescott, AZ on Wednesday, the 24th of September. From Prescott they were flying to Ontario, California -- with absolutely no passengers on board. (Not very cost effective, is it?)

It seems that the cat I took to the vet had a urinary tract infection and a respiratory infection. They gave him some antibiotics that Valerie has to feed him twice daily. It's some pink crap that she has to stick a dropped half way down his throat to get him to swallow it. For 16 years old he puts up one heckuva good fight to NOT get his medicine.

We're preparing for my mother's move next Monday, when we set off from Prescott to Boise, Idaho in a U-Haul moving van. Ah, the joys of the open road await. Her house looks much different with everything stacked in boxes in one corner of the living room, or else having already been given away to other people who wanted some "stuff".

A crew from her church will be there Sunday afternoon to load the van, and then bright and early Monday we'll leave Prescott for the last time. Another chapter has come to a close, yet another one waits to be written.
