Pleasant temperatures / Loss of two Icons

We have been having some very pleasant temperatures, I did not even have to close the kitchen windows last night. Today I woke up to cloudy skies and it appears we might have had a very light shower or heavy dew in the morning. The sun finally made an appearance after lunch and I was able to charge my solar lights that I have neglected these past couple of days.

I was sad to learn that Alex Trebek passed away today at age 80 due to pancreatic cancer. On October 31st we also lost Sean Connery of James Bond fame at the age of 90. May they both rest in peace.

Our local Covid-19 cases are on the rise as in much of the country and the world for that matter.  Wednesday, Nov 4th I went to mail a payment whose destination was Houston, Texas and boy was I surprised when I got an e-mail on Friday afternoon letting me know they had already received it. This is the payment that was lost or delayed in the mail on two occasions this year. Just to be on the safe side I also included next month's payment as I am still contemplating sheltering in place soon.

On some of the blogs I follow bloggers have commented that once again they are limiting items at the grocery stores in their localities. It has been a few days since I have been to our local HEB. I had hoped to stop by on Wednesday afternoon but by the time I got there, there were far too many cars in the parking lot for my liking.

I did find an article indicating that some Kroger's and HEB's in Texas are in fact limiting items like toilet paper, paper towels, and sanitizing wipes. I am well stocked on these items but I would like to buy more canned goods so I have a six-month supply and not have to leave the house.

Today we had a high of 84 degrees with winds from the SE of 16 mph and gusts of 33 mph.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
