Increasing Readiness

I'm still getting ready to leave for Morocco about the middle of next week. I've been extremely busy with this, and I probably will be all week long. Better this week than next, for sure. I'm trying to get everything squared away now, so I'll have time to deal with any complications that may arise.

I've not been keeping up with weather forecasts, so this morning I was surprised to find about three inches of new snow on the ground. My friend Anrahyah teaches south of here, near Crestone in the San Luis Valley--and they had a snow day today with well over 15 inches of snow! 19" in places. That's really getting hammered. But this time of year, even that much snow melts off rather quickly.

I'd really like to find the 220 volt transformer I once bought to recharge my external camera batteries with, although I have another way of doing this (I've got a converter into which I can plug my 120 volt transformer). I tore apart a room today trying to find it, and still couldn't.

My laptop computer, fortunately, runs on either 120 or 240 volts. This is very convenient, as long as I can plug it in! I must recheck to see that I have the proper plug, and if not, do something about it.

With all the snow we're getting, I hope I'm still in bicycle shape when it's time to start pedaling out of Marrakech, Morocco.
