Sore back / Lab Report / Hatch Chiles / Karma

I do not know where this week has gone to but time sure flies by COVID-19 or not.  I have not done any yard work since I managed to hurt my back and now instead of being able to carry 1 gallon on each hand, I can only carry 1/2 gallon in each.  I have to carry them to the southern section of the property to water a shade tree and several pomegranate ones.

You might ask why not just use a water hose?  I would have to string together three 100 ft hoses and that gets tricky as there are many desert cacti that they can get stuck on and more holes poked on them even though they are heavy-duty ones.

Yesterday I finally went to pick up the mail at the P.O. Box.  If this intentional slow down of our nation's mail by this administration has had one benefit is that I am not receiving as many letters from flippers wish I could say the same for their darn telephone calls.

I am not too happy with my new doctor's male nurse.  I got my lab reports not once but twice...I suppose it is better than not getting them at all. The one medication I tried so hard to get off of by eating oatmeal, salads, fruit, cereal, 1% low-fat milk, diet ice cream, and no red meat did not work out...my cholesterol levels are still high so it looks like I will be going back on statins.

Made a quick stop at the main HEB to pick-up more of the above items and to check their vitamin aisle. No Zinc but did find Biotin in regular form but since I had already bought the Gummies at Walmart the other day I did not purchase any.

The first time I heard about Hatch Chiles was at the Terlingua Chili Cook-off more than twenty years ago.  In the last seven years or so HEB has incorporated them into many of their products during their harvest time.

I saw a Hatch Seasoned Rotisserie Chicken and decided to buy it.  I thought it would at least be spicy as Hatch chiles are but I could have fed it to a child and they would not have found it hot at all.  I was disappointed but at least it had no salt and was juicy and tender.


This was the going gasoline price yesterday. $1.819 for a gallon of unleaded gasoline.


It has been hot but Terlingua was hotter today.



Sometimes Karma does make an appearance...



Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
