They are not albino, but share many of the same appearances. One way they differ is in the eye color, all albinos have red eyes, while these have either brown or black. Other than their color, they appear just as a normal grey squirrel would, same size, shape and mannerisms.

TRAVEL DAY |
 |
Tricia enjoys the travel days because it usually, but not always, leads to a day off work. Me, I just enjoy travel days because we get to visit somewhere new and to me, that's exciting!

BBQ NIGHT |

Today I have to see a physician in order to get some new prescriptions written. My solution was to go to a CVS Drug Store and visit one of their Minute Clinics. When they advertise Minute Clinic it is written in the fine print that your wait time will probably be longer, mine was, 72 minutes longer.
After waiting for over an hour, I was seen by a young lady fresh out of college, who was able to take my blood pressure, listen to my breathing through a stethoscope, ask my weight and height and then write me a three month extension on each of the current prescriptions I provided. She said this was a one time only travel courtesy deal and that future prescriptions would have to come from my Primary Care Physician. The visit was covered by my brand new free Florida Blue Cross and Blue Shield Insurance, thanks to Obama Care, and all I had to pay was my $35 co-pay for the office visit.
I asked for, and received, written prescriptions so I could shop them around for better pricing than what CVS offers. I got a quick grin from the young lady, I guess because she said no one ever bothers to do that. She sends them right out the door of the clinic to the CVS pharmacist counter and they pay up whatever they charge there. I guess that's what they're counting on!
I instead took mine to the nearest Publix and found out that one of my medications was free and the others were just $7.50, and that's the 90 day supply price. Between my insurance and my GoodRx Gold discount prescription membership I think I made out pretty good!
Arriving back at the campsite, after scoring my drugs, it was time for a celebratory BBQ. Last week at Publix they had a BOGO (buy1get1free) boneless pork tenderloin deal and we took advantage of the sale. Each package has two tenderloins and Tricia had them marinating all day, one teriyaki and one orange ginger. We sliced up a sweet onion and a large red bell pepper and then grilled us up one hell of a feast. Tricia made up some rice pilaf and we got busy eating. The left over cooked pork tenderloin will go into the fridge and be turned into sandwiches and salad toppings for the next several days.

WORK DAY FROM THE POD |
 |
A few weeks ago we bought a bag of firewood to have a campfire at Crooked River State Park. We never got around to having our campfire during Heather and Mike's visit and we've just been carrying it around for no reason ever since. Tonight we'll finally burn it and have our first campfire since New Year's Eve with Alyse and George. You see campfires are one of the luxuries we just can't afford every night, now that one of us is retired and the other is working part time. Most of the places we have been visiting don't allow collecting dead wood from the ground, but some of our upcoming parks may.

With Tricia working again today I'll spend most of my time writing blog posts and begin taking down the decorations around our campsite, all in preparation to move again tomorrow.
