My own personal gps system....meet Perrie


On my way back from California to Bisbee, I needed some road directions. Navigating the freeways of Southern California just got too confusing for me, being a Northern California girl. Truly, it's two separate states, even if it all has the same name. Not to mention that it's hard to drive at 80 mph while looking at the tiny gps screen on my cell phone. 

So......I rang up this awesome dude at the AAA named Perrie. His specialty, as it turns out, is rescuing traveling damsels in distress by giving them directions over the phone from his cubicle office in an urban backstreet (he wouldn't give me the exact address) in New York City.  Funny thing is, I think I dialed the wrong 800 number while calling for directions and now I can't reach him again. The lack of voice prompts before reaching him should have tipped me off. He did send me this photo of himself to my cell phone after the call (caller ID said "UNKNOWN"). The mystery man....I hope I hear from him again. He sounded kinda cute.

    It's the pic he sent me and said it was himself. Nothing like a little mystery to pass the time while traveling. I hope to post more in the near future. Hmmmmmm....

My Daughter Visits Bisbee!!!

Image
Good morning Bisbee! It looks like it's going to be yet another beautiful day here in Tiny Town (I didn't coin the term...I have our friend Juliette Beaumont, the bartender at Elmo's to thank).  I've got the wonderful "hurry up & wait" task of needing to wait for a visit from the cable company to deal with the inconsistent internet connection I have. But, the next few hours are mine alone. Nice. Meanwhile, I'm looking forward to picking up my lovely daughter, Mira, at the airport in Tucson this evening and having her here in Bisbee for a week! I moved here last June on the same day she left for her travels in India, Cambodia and Thailand this past summer. She's a world traveler, and it will be very cool to show her my new home. I'm hoping to introduce her to as many of my new Bisbee friends as possible. We'll be seeing you around...

Emily Decks Out for the Sandman Show at Elmo's

Yesterday afternoon a bunch of us went down to St. Elmo's in Brewery Gulch to hear our friend Sandman perform his unique blend of Cowboy Rap and Poetry (you've got to hear it to understand - check out his website ).  One of our own - Emily - was sporting quite the amazing outfit...which used to belong to Sammy Davis, Jr.! She says a friend of hers back in New Jersey passed it along to her after a photo shoot with said Sammy.  Now, I think that's just way cool!
