The gypsy as an unreliable narrator.

Before I say anything else about my new shower, let me affirm one thing about camping after the Labor Day holiday. For the casual camper, the camping season has ended. Many popular spots of just a couple of weeks ago are already dipping into the temps just above freezing. Really. Somewhere. And I was there to post my reactions to a new (to me) product, and a new (for this year) reminder that the colder weather is here for many campers.

I could not have planned a finer entrance. I made it no farther t... read more
