The Road to 65, Mile 258: Eight Questions and Answers
August 13, 2015, Prescott- I have been asked by a friend here to offer my answers to eight questions she posed and answered on her own site. So, here goes:
1. Which of the following will mostly resemble the next show you watch (on tv, online, or even dvd)? a nature show, a historical documentary, a cooking show, a sitcom, or sports? Given these choices, I would most likely watch an historical documentary. Nature is something I prefer to see up close.
2. Which natural disaster is your state more likely to encounter? Arizona is most likely to encounter wildfire. Occasionally, a torrential rain or blizzard passes through.
3. Would you rather vacation in a log cabin, a modern condo, or a Motorhome? Log cabin, by far. A motorhome is not something I would buy, and those of my friends who own them are barely able to fit themselves inside.
4. What type of roadkill do you see most where you live? Skunks and coyotes.
5. If you were on that old MTV show “Fear”, would you most fear walking a rickety catwalk over a canyon, eating worms, or sitting in a tub and having cockroaches poured on your lap? The catwalk, if it has no rope or cable guards on the sides. The cockroaches could bite and lead to typhus, though, so they would be more dangerous.
6. Do you think you could survive alone 24 hours in the wilderness, with only a jack knife and 3 feet of rope? Yes, because I know how to forage.
7. Have you ever owned any leather clothing? I have had one leather jacket, when I was in my thirties.
8. Have you ever eaten jackfruit chips? No, but I would be glad to try them. Jackfruit is very tasty.

Documentary while my grandson is here. That's all he wants to watch. I get really annoyed at the theme of climate change and evolution many of them have, especially since he wants to correct all of them while watching.
A condo would be my choice to go camping. 
Bravo! I'm hoping you are now able to access Crystalline's blog... The canyon height on a rickety bridge makes me feel ill. At least if I caught something from the roaches there are antibiotics... not much chance of coming away from a fall...
@murisopsis: No, I can't access her blog. I did have her permission to do the above, though.
@mcbery: His generation will have to start fixing a lot of the problems that overblown industrialization created, just as the generation at the beginning of the Twentieth Century had to fix the excesses of the Gilded Age.
FLorida is known as the Sunshine state, but sometimes 'when it rains, it pours', to quote Morton salt. Not always, but yes, it gets quite torrential. This summer not quite as bad as some past years.
I don't think I have ever seen a coyote, dead or alive, except perhaps in a zoo.
I mailed something yesterday to scare the spiders out of your mailbox.
@Crystalinne: I was fortunate, when I visited Florida last February, to have experienced total sunshine. It rained from New Orleans to San Antonio, on the way back. I look forward to your mailing, though the spiders get smooshed by various requests for the money I don't have.
@RighteousBruin: I can promise you there is no request for money in the envelope I sent.
I am sorry I didn't know you, to offer to meet somewhere in February. You would have been my 2nd Xangan to meet.(Val being the first on New Year's eve)
@Crystalinne: Maybe sometime in the future, I will get back to Florida.
