Tater Tot lost his shoes, but won the race!The temperatures dropped out of the 80's over the weekend, and Monday was low to mid 60's with rain. People here seem to get about as excited about these rain events as we do when the sun comes out in western Washington!
On Friday we took a short day trip to the small town of Winkleman, which sprung up because of the copper mining in the early 1900's. We noticed an old grocery store called Geosettis, so we had to go in to check it out. The grandsons of the original owner now are running the store and butcher shop. We thought that this was a strange place for Italian immigrants to end up, but the storekeepers told us the whole story. We must have been there close to an hour. The copper mines in the area are now huge, and are owned by Asarco.
Today (Tuesday) we went to see the Mariners play the White Sox. We left after the 7th inning to beat the traffic, with the Mariners leading 7 to 3. Tomorrow I am going with the 4 wheelers again somewhere into the Arizona back country. The Thursday hike may be back on the calendar as the temperatures should top out in the mid 70's. On Friday I will be golfing with the group from the RV park. I'm hoping that it will be a better experience than last time. Joyce and I got out to the driving range last weekend, and we will probably get out again Thursday afternoon.
