I was sooo dehydrated this morning; no more ramen for me. At least not as long as I like in Alaska; this place dehydrates me enough on its own.

So Gale called and I went the the shop to wash the dogs. Toby is such a good dog....except when he is getting dried. The cute, cuddly, collie becomes satan's spawn. I didn't have him until he was six and his old owner's dumped him at the pound. He was forty pounds overweight, so I wonder if they used to tease him with the hairdryer.

My plans to buy the class B van/RV fell through. The guy who said he would sell it to me changed his mind. But there are more vans in the sea. I am starting to want the vanagon again. I saw a couple in my price range.
