Skywatch Friday – Where My Mind Still Resides

Sunrise at Orange Beach

Just letting you know where my mind still is. My mind is still on the beach watching the sunrise, listening to the wind and the waves.

Skywatch Friday

Due to a Google mishap I’m no longer at yogis-den(dot)com. They are making it impossible to get it back so I’ve moved everything back over to the www.crustygasguy.blogspot.com while I ponder what to do, if anything. I like writing posts but I hate getting under the hood and trying to figure out the nuts and bolts when things go wrong. So I’m thinking I’m going to try a new domain name registrar and get a multiyear term. I would appreciate any recommendations on domain name registrars that easy to deal with.

I would also say beware to anybody out there who bought their domain name through Google even if you have auto renewal. A bunch of the renewals are failing, even with current payment information, and when it fails your domain name is gone and Google’s customer service isn’t up to the task of helping you get it back.

Skywatch Friday – Rain Rolling In

Rain rolling into Orange Beach, Alabama

I’m on vacation this week in Orange Beach, Alabama, otherwise known as the Redneck Riviera. I’m being pretty much worthless and I’m taking lots of pics. It clouds up and then rains and then the sun still doesn’t come out but it quits raining and somehow that is okay. I’m sorry I’m doing Skywatch Friday on Monday but this just might be the only post I do all week!

Gulf Shores

We just got back from a week of family vacation at Gulf Shores, Alabama. The locals call it the “Redneck Riviera.” No matter, the water is clear and the sand was very fine and white. The beaches go on forever.

We played in the sand, and took fuzzy photographs.

And we just hung out, and took even more fuzzy photos. That didn’t bother us, I hope it doesn’t bother you.

It’s very relaxing, it wasn’t crowded and our fellow beachgoer’s were very nice. Sometimes we didn’t care for their music, but we could move  a 100 feet away and couldn’t hear them.

Basically, we just chilled out. Speaking of chilling. The temperature was typically in the high 80’s and low 90’s or about 15 to 20 degrees cooler than Tulsa. Have you ever heard of anybody going to lower Alabama to cool off in the summer?

We swam, walked, read, relaxed and did a lot of people watching. Something about watching somebody fishing is very relaxing to me.
