Decided to disconnect for a couple of days...

I do not know about you guys but these past couple of days have brought out a range of emotions. From surprise, disbelieve, anger, disgust, incredibility, contempt, disappointment, fear, to outright panic. I decided I needed to disconnect from cable news, the internet and people in my life who share different views from the ones I hold or worst yet those that DO NOT even have an opinion of current events...which I find to be downright SCARY!

It helps that my cellphone is not working, I let our landline answering machine do its job, I turned off the internet and turned on the Hallmark Channel to watch feel-good movies whose outcome are more than predictable...which I found at least for this weekend to be refreshing.

The weather has been wonderful...a little cool in the mornings...in the mid to high 70's in the afternoon. We almost tied a record high for today but missed it by one digit coming in at 81 degrees.

I wrote more checks today than I have for the past six months but at least I got the Harris County taxes as well as the HOA fees out of the way for another year.  I also paid for the P.O. Box fees that continue to go up yearly.

The only bad thing about disconnecting from the Internet is the number of e-mails received both junk as well as real ones...I need to unsubscribe from a lot of mailings!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
