Thursday March 13

Tucson has a public park just for model airplane
flyers. I rode out there this morning to watch an
international vintage model competition. All men in
their later years, a physician who comes from Brasil
every year, a team from Japan. Every plane flies the
same pattern for 8 minutes while judges score. The
fliers stands in the middle of a paved circle and
controls the plane with two wires. The plane goes
around and around and around. Fun to watch for about
20 minutes.

Came home did some food shopping and cooking. Made
some great guacamole. Was going to go to the U to
hear the last jazz concert but ended up staying here,
doing laundry and getting ready to leave tomorrow.

Talked with my next door neighbor, a very nice guy,
older, with a pig tail who works at a call center that
subcontracts for Verizon. They are supposed to
average 400 seconds per call and the whole thing is
computer monitored so each worker can see each day how
they are doing. Chatty customer service people don't
last long. He's done this work for 20 years.

Thought Tucson was going to seduce you into staying for a year or so! Where to next? Don't forget Portland/Eugene in mid April...A.
