We are retired and thinking about going "Full Time" as RVers.  If we
would sell our residence in MN, and not buy another residence, would we

I have been interested in a trailer off and on for a few years now.  We
have a small piece of land on which we'd like to rough it before

I find that Camco/RV now makes a 12v compact fluorescent bulb for RVs.
It is rated at 15W and has a standard screw base as found on 120v
bulbs.  It seems to emit a decent amount of light after a short warmup
of about 1 minute.  The claimed light output is equivalent to a 60W

Highway 140 to Yosemite is closed again, as of noon Friday, May 26,

Here's the executive summary of my adventure in CellPhonistan
this afternoon.  Some new wrinkles that may be of interest.
Verizon, Sprint, T-mobile, and ATT are all within a one mile
radius in Round Rock.  I made them all.  T-mobile bragged of

It seems like a joke, but it is not.
A Nebraska judge sentenced a man to probation for sexually assaulting
a child because she thought that at 5'1" he was too short to go to
prison because he might have a hard time there.  

Lately, I've been getting this notice on several current postings
during the same session.  For example, I read a post from someone but
the next post they put up, even within minutes, is This Message is No
