About 5:30PM two women in a silver KIA Seoul with Jersey plates pulled into the campsite next to mine in the Blackwoods Campground, Acadia National Park. I was just hanging out with Ozzy, laying down in the back of the van when they began to take firewood out of their vehicle and started stacking it in the fire pit at their campsite. It was obvious after a very short period of time that they had absolutely no idea what they were doing. So I stepped out of the van said hello and proceeded to look like I was working on the van in the hopes they would ask for help...I was not going to offer, as I had the feeling it would be taken as male patronization of helpless females, which, of course, it wouldn't have been, just wanted to help. Anyway, they spent about 5 minutes trying to figure out how to start a fire, gave up, drove out and NEVER returned. Their campsite was empty all night. I am sure they spent the evening at a bed and breakfast, sipping glasses of wine which is what they really wanted to do in the first place. What I find amusing is that they had the perfect opportunity to fulfill every woman's fantasy: finding a campsite in the woods next to the most hunky, eye candied man imaginable and having him metaphorically light their fire...they're probably kicking themselves this morning.
I am not sure that I would want to go to Acadia Park at the height of the season...yesterday, off-season, was a madhouse!! Crazy number of people making navigation of the park difficult...not a lot of solitude or quiet, which is what I would look for at the park.
Ozzy is beginning to settle in to the routine of living in the van. When we first started out he was really rigid in either standing or sitting behind the driver's seat looking out the front window as we drove along. The last couple of days he has begun geting up on the bed and either sitting or lying down and looking out the side window. He has gotten up on the bed with me a couple of times, but, last night was the first time he slept with me. He slept at my feet and was a bedhog, but, I am comforted by his company and change of attitude.
I made the mistake of listening to the news last night and it appears that the Nobel Peace Prize winner has ordered more killing!! It's an upside down world out there...
At Husson University library using their wifi...looking forward to seeing Kathi Smith later today...getting a hot shower and then presenting tomorrow on Imagination and the Creative Process...
