Série de Blog sur mon prochain gros projet - Debellum : du plomb, des dés et de la joie

Histoire de me motiver, je vais commencer une série de billets ayant pour thème les combats en Afrique du Nord durant la Deuxième Guerre mondiale. C'est une période qui me plait

I wasn't allowed dogs in my Bicentennial apartment, so I raised gerbils. Tracee, Rhonda, and Chudney were named after Diana Ross's daughters. 1976. #gerbils #gerbil #desertrat #desertrats #furry #mammal #mammals #pet #pets #bicentennial #1970s #apartment #apartmentlife

It's a harsh beauty out here in the Eastern Mojave Desert. I hiked yesterday in the stunning Pioneertown Mountains Preserve. It's far from the "crowds" of Joshua Tree and retail services along the Yucca Valley Hwy. The roads to get here are full of rolling hills + tight curves that are very fun to drive! Many of the trails were closed due to the recent flooding from Hurricane Hilary...the bright side is that there was a lot of green and wild flowers!

This made me laugh. Like all the best humour, there's an element of uncomfortable truth in it. :-)

Small snake encounter at work today. I am sure my rapid tap-dance was amusing. We were able to safely use a Broom to usher it back out. #DesertLiving #DesertRat

I had to scrape ice off my windshield today 🥶 In PHOENIX 😅 First time in 9 years and my level of annoyance tells me I can never live in the cold again 😂 #desertRat
Time of year I can resume my desert walks. (No rattlesnakes, no hunters, no 100° F) This photo is from my FB Memories a year ago. It amazes me the rocks that our Stone Age Ancestors left out in those vast expanses of the Southwestern USA. #desertrat #arrowheads #apache #westtexas
