A Tree That’s Not a Tree?

September 11, 2025 By Terry

Thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone gave to Kathy. She truly appreciated them! This week, I’m taking you back to a place we visited in January for my birthday. I wanted to visit a National Park, but didn’t want to drive for days to get there. We combined a trip to Joshua Tree National Park with a planned visit to Palm Desert for one of those great one-day out-and-back escursions. Believe me when I say, Joshua Tree National Park is one of those places you don’t soon forget.

Last week’s puzzle was a bit tougher. The best time was 4 minutes 54 seconds and the average was 8 minutes 44 seconds. I, on the other hand, came in at a leisurely 14 minutes 12 seconds. I hope everyone has great times this week!

About Terry

I started out as a skip tracer. Just in case you don’t know, that’s the guy who finds the people who don’t want to be found. It was the little things—getting paid to lie—that made skip tracing the fun part of the job.

Those years of chasing deadbeats taught me many valuable life lessons, such as liars come from all walks of life, and always keep your car in the garage.
