Storms Never Last, Do They Baby

Today the most prominent sound heard around the park was awnings being rolled up and chairs being stowed away. The weather people are predicting a fairly strong storm to come through here tonight, sometime after midnight. The wind gusts are supposedly going to be as high as 54mph. It was at least 25mph all day. For a while tonight the stars were bright and beautiful, but at 9:30p the clouds had taken over. The forecasted storm is also going to bring in a cold front with a high of the low 60s tomorrow.

After taking up the awning this morning, we tackled the gas grill. It was caked with two months worth of BBQ "junk." What a messy job.

As soon as we finished our lunch we headed to the pool since it was supposed to get into the 80s. As expected, it was wonderful. Mark only stayed a short while, but I lounged about taking in all the ridiculous conversations around the pool. Loads of people are unhappy with the management and are going elsewhere next year. One of the big complaints is about the DOG HATER fanatics. These people are making everyone else miserable, (and also themselves). The dog haters feel that dogs should do their bodily functions only in the area of their owner's RVs. Try telling a dog that. They also feel dogs should not walk anywhere! These same dog haters then complain to the manager in the park, and even go so far as to send letters to the main office in NY with their complaints. Why don't these people just stay in their home towns, in their own dog-free houses?

We opted out of the country music group that plays twice a month - they were playing tonight. Since Mark had his big bingo winnings last night, we decided to go out to dinner. We revisited Rocky's Villa - the Mexican/Italian joint about 2 miles away that we frequented a few times last year. The tortellini alfredo was fabulous. I brought half of it home for lunch tomorrow. Mark ate all of his baked ravioli.

We then stopped by the Jai Alai to place one .10 superfecta bet on a horse race. Wonder of all wonders - the horses Mark picked came in! Our winnings for this race were $24.25! Woohoo. We took the money and ran - straight back to the trailer.

We're now awaiting the "storm of the century" - hopefully the tornadoes, hail, and 54mph winds stay north of us!
