My Good Deed ... !!

Every once in a while, a spectacular sunset occurs. On my last evening in La Quinta (near Palm Spring, CA), Jan 3rd, such a sunset occurred.
Hanging out in Paradise AZ, last time I was here was 2 yrs ago. Then I was suffering from a terrible bout with vertigo. Coincidence? 2 days ago I did a nice and fast 32 miler bike ride, about a minute after getting off the recumbent, my head started spinning, vertigo. Had to get off my feet or fall, lucky I was back at the RV. Been getting better, today it is very slight but still feel it. Was planning on riding today, but think I will hold off till tomorrow to ride again.
The Pool and spa here is wonderful, the hut above is the spa next to the pool. The pool water temp is 82 F. With most of the USA in a deep freeze this winter, had expected more people here, but am told a second wave of snow-birdies is due in late Jan, and then the snowbirds will leave in Apr. So things are quite around the pool and spa.
I was lounging around near the computer room here at the RV resort with my laptop on my lap. When a lady with a new notebook asked me if I could help her get the WIFI working. That took about a minute, she was so happy. 3 hours later, was still helping people with their laptops with a host of computer issues. There were “active seniors” waiting for my assistance, somehow word spread that there was this young computer wiz helping with computer stuff. As I helped people, others crowded around over shoulders with paper and pencil taking notes, and asking questions, waiting their turns. After 3 hrs, the RV resorts internet system crashed. I was saved, the ones still there laughed, and said you can go to lunch now. Most had their laptops working at home, but could not figure how to connect with the resort’s WIFI system. That was my good deed for the day. Had lunch, finished this blog, and now it is pool time, later.
