Ann & I made it cross country safely. I am blogging from my new place in Eureka, CA! It was quite an adventure and I hope to be able to share it with all of you soon. We drove over 3,000 miles, through 12 states. The weather varied from beautiful blue skies to rain, sleet, snow, hail and tornadoes! We visited the awesome Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, a restored pony express station, Buffalo Bill Cody's ranch and saw some of the most beautiful scenery in this country. We took over 600 pictures! I hope to be able to share them with you soon.
I start work tomorrow. I'm a little nervous as I usually am the night before. Excited Nervous. Ann & I went and scouted out the place I will be working as well as the route to get there. I'm always glad when the first day is done.
I hope you all had a nice Memorial Day.
Sometimes life takes you on some sharp right hand turns.
What is a Blow Horn?
In August 2007, I was in Maui, Hawaii with friends Dave and Karen Massey and we were traveling along a narrow winding road on the northwestern side of the island. I spotted a sign that read "Blow Horn" with a right hand turn indicated. Being from Louisiana, where I have never driven on mountain roads I did not understand this sign. I honestly believed the arrow was guiding me to a phenomenon called a 'blow horn'. After several signs as we wound up and down and around the mountainside, I said out loud, "hmmm...blow horn... it must mean a sharp right hand turn". Karen laughed hysterically realizing I truly did not get that the sign meant 'honk your horn' so that any oncoming traffic coming the opposite direction around the mountain switchback would know I was coming. We laughed about blow horns for the rest of my trip.
I realized, the more I thought about blow horns as a sharp right hand turn, the more I realized I have already started making some blow horns in my life. And I am ready for even more sharp right hand turns in my lifestyle, nutrition, and physical activity.
