More time with the Hupps

Need a cutting disc for my grinder as I have to cut out some of the patio door to make the new lock fit. So will head to Harbour Freight for one today, not that I need an excuse to go shopping at one of my favorite stores. Picked up ...

A Couple Days in Tucson/The US~Mexican Border

A travel blog entry by vagabondingbear

... to me mostly when I am driving looooong distances alone, thinking about the things I have encountered not only in my travels, but in my entire life on this earth.
