SOLAR POWERED

IT WAS CINDY HOHLFELD WHO FIRST EXPLAINED TO ME THAT HER HUSBAND DAVE HAS BECOMED SOLAR POWERED.

IN MY FIRST YEAR OF RETIREMENT I’VE FOUND THAT I’VE BECOME SOLAR POWERED AS WELL. BACK IN THE DAY, I SLEPT UNTIL NOON, AND SAT AT THE ROM-NO-MORE TILL 2AM (OR MAYBE 3AM) EASY PEASY!

NOW…….. I’M IN BED WHEN THE SUN SETS. WHEN WAS THE LAST TIME YOU SAW A PHOTO ON THE BLOG OF A BEAUTIFUL ARIZONA SUNSET? WHAT, DID YOU THINK MAJESTIC ARIZONA SUNSETS HAVE DISAPPEARED?

OR SOUTH PADRE ISLAND, THE SPRING BREAK CAPITAL OF TEXAS, NOTHING BUT SUNRISES….. DAY AFTER DAY, A BLOG FULL OF SUNRISES. IT’S AN ISLAND FOR GOD’S SAKE DON’T YOU THINK THE SUN SETS?

I HEAR YA, I NEED TO GET A LIFE…. , BUT WHEN YOU’RE SOLAR POWERED YOU JUST RUN OUT OF ENERGY WHEN THE SUN SETS AND I’M REQUIRED TO RETURN TO MY DOCKING STATION LIKE A ROOMBA VACCUME.

ON THE OTHER HAND, I’M WIDE AWAKE AT DAWN. SO, NOW I DON’T HAVE TO WAIT UNTIL 5 O’CLOCK, I  POP THE FIRST MILLER LITE AT 11 AM.

AND I HAVE A LIFE !!! I LIVE IN ARIZONA WHERE THE SUN SHINES 360 DAYS A YEAR !!!
