91 days after Lisa and I left Reno on the eastbound California Zephyr, she arrived on the westbound CZ, traveling via New Mexico.

Aside from my emergency extra trip to Reno to buy a new cable modem on the day I got home, I'd gone no father from home than Grocery Outlet, Walgreens, and the Renown Health Urgent Care clinic since I got home. I wasn't terribly enthusiastic about going anywhere this weekend, but I've recovered sufficiently (including from the leg infection) that ( Read more... )

Some of you may have heard news reports mentioning wildfires in California and also near Reno. When I went back into Reno yesterday to buy that new cable modem, I could see the plume of smoke of what is known as the Davis Fire from far away when I was coming through the Truckee River canyon, and while I was coming and going, it was clear that the ( Read more... )

Today Lisa and I went to Reno possibly for the last time before we head off to Europe next Thursday. Some of today's errands were normal, and others were specifically for the trip ( Read more... )

Lisa and I had a number of things to get done in Reno that had to be done during normal working hours, rather than overnight as we do our large-scale grocery shopping ( Read more... )

Lisa and I planned to go to Reno for grocery shopping at WinCo at about 1 AM Friday morning. Unfortunately, I never was able to get to sleep yesterday afternoon (which is odd because I've been doing so a lot lately, but I had a lot on my mind yesterday and couldn't sleep). So a little after 11 PM we decided to go ahead and get it done while I was ( Read more... )

Yesterday evening after dinner, we we went out for a walk to find ourselves being pelted by snow flurries while walking to and from the post office. Virtually nothing stuck, but it was cold.

Today, we tackled more Reno-area errands. We took all of the recycling (and there was a lot of it) to the transfer station, which made enough room in the ( Read more... )
