Day 14 - Tuesday, January 18 - Stayed Home

 We spent an enjoyable day today without ever leaving the campground. It was cool, 30 degrees, when we got up this morning but the brilliant sun warmed temperatures up into the mid/high 50's. With the sun out and very little wind it felt warmer.

After breakfast I went to the clubhouse and had coffee with folks. Drinking coffee is a time consuming activity. Actually discussing how the US is sliding downhill, and suggestions for stopping the decline, take a lot of time. Morning coffee time starts at 8 and the people at the table where I sat finally left around 9:30.

After coffee I walked the "big loop" around the campground, about 2 miles, and then I wasted over an hour on the phone with another of T-Mobile's disabled "customer service" representatives. At the end of today's discussions the guy claimed that T-Mobile's service isn't compatible with the ESIM in Google phones. This revelation came to him right after I told him I wanted to be transferred to a higher level of Tech Support, because it was obvious that he was not going to be able to solve the issue. Kathy suggested that he was just blowing me off so that his "record" didn't have to show that he couldn't solve the problem. The guy I talked to today had an Indian (Asian) accent that was only slightly more understandable than yesterday's Oriental lady. 

In the afternoon I changed into shorts and a tee shirt and washed my truck. When clean she looks pretty good for a 17 year old pickup.



We did some reading and I took a nap in the afternoon. In the evening we went to the clubhouse for supper. Tonight's offering was minestrone soup and English muffins with pizza sauce and cheese on them. The soup was OK but the English muffins would have been far better if they had just toasted and buttered them.

We visited with a couple, from the Crown Point, IN area, who have been spending winters (4 months) in the Pensacola/Gulf Shores area for the past 12 years. When they first started coming down they stayed in the Pensacola area. H was a vet and the area has some great perks for vets. Then they moved to campgrounds in Gulf Shores area and finally last year and this year they came to Rainbow. They said that the campgrounds out near the Gulf are now charging $1,000 per month, as opposed to the $395 Rainbow charges.

God is good. I pray that He blesses you and yours.
