Woof, Woof Weaser

Wolfforth, TX 79382
--------------------------------------------------------------------
RV LIFE: 
This is our last day at Mesa Verde RV Park near Lubbock, TX. Although the park & staff are nice, I will be glad to exit this area of the country. Flat, boring landscape. It's depressing. The only nice view we saw in this area of TX were the beautiful sunsets.

Devin & I will miss our play time with Weaser, the resident Labradoodle. But Devin will be on to new adventures, new landscape, new animals, new smells.
I'm sure Weaser will miss Devin also.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
RV MOD:
Just a little mod. We're just following what other RV'rs do. The map of the US and adding the states we've stayed in as we travel.
Purchased at Camping World for about $15.00. Placed on our living room slide out.

FOOD:
My rating 2 out of 5
Texas sized McD's burgers.
Alex's Drive-In on Urbanspoon

Ugh!

CHEESEBURGER: I had the regular and hubby had the larger one. Both skinny burgers, one was just larger around than the other. Dried up overcooked burgers. Reminded me of McD's only more dry and larger. I like McD's burgers, & I'd go to McD's before heading back to Alex's.
Burgers had slice of cheese, tomato, lettuce, reconstituted minced onion and mustard. Lettuce & tomato were fresh.

FRIES: Nothing special. Not bad, but not especially good either.

ONION RINGS: Nothing special. Hubby came here because of  the good reviews on burgers. I came here because of the good reviews on the onion rings. The onions rings were good and not out of a bag, but the batter was bland.  I had to add salt.

I would not return.

Virals Audio CDVirals Audio CD by Kathy Reichs



My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Good narration by Cristen Milioti. The main characters are teens and Cristen performed the young voices nicely.
Cute story, with murder mystery and sci-fi mixed in.
Intelligent, not "popular" teens try to find interesting things to do while living on a remote island that is home to science labs and also a pack of wolves.
Follows these kids misadventures and how they accomplish getting out of tricky situations.

My rating: 3 of 5 stars
Murder Mystery: Narration was good.
Rich teens are kidnapped and asked questions about world economics. Most kids couldn't care less. The "entitled", kids are called today just want all there is without caring how they got it. The kidnapper doesn't want money but wants them to ..."know the price others pay for their luxurious lifestyles." If they don't know, what are the consequences? Read the book. 


Kindle edition:
My rating: 5 of 5 stars
Mystery:
#2 of Millennium series
I tried to listen on audio the first book in this series, "The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo". So much history that dragged on that I couldn't finish. My husband READ the book and loved it.  I waited until the movie came out and LOVED IT!
So was very excited to read the second in the series, "The Girl Who Played with Fire". I was NOT disappointed! Excellent!
This is a year after the end of the 1st book. Researching into the sex trade and low lives involved, murders and the government cover up. Drives me crazy the level of crimes this secret gov't agency could get away with.
Lisbeth is a fugitive & again is made out to be a insane antisocial, satan loving lesbian.  Will the truth be told? Will she be caught? Well worth reading to find out.
