Pollito / Darn Flippers / A Henry Lookalike

Yesterday I got a late start trying to make my way into town and by the time I was ready, it was way too hot to go anywhere. This morning I made sure I got up early (actually I never went to sleep) to get my morning chores out of the way while the temperatures were still tolerable.

I was loading the frozen water bottles into my ice chest when Pollito and his wino sidekick drove by. They were headed to his son's house down the road pulling an empty trailer which usually has his tractor on it both looked surprised, I presume to see me outside early or because they have YET to finish the job I hired them for.  As I spotted them  I smiled and waved...ordinarily Pollito would pull over but this time he kept going...jajajajajaja...it was too funny :D

My first stop was the post office to pick up my mail and to no one's surprise, it was nothing but darn letters and postcards from house flippers wanting to purchase my Houston home.  How many darn letters have you sent me in the past twelve years without receiving a reply?  When are you going to GIVE UP???

Second stop was HEB as I have not had a chance to do a grocery run to Ciudad Acuña, Coahuila, Mexico in some time.  I was minding my own business when I saw this TALL good looking guy with a ponytail and glasses...I had to do a double-take!!!  Yeap, he looked like a clone of Henry Garza. You might ask yourself who is Henry Garza?  He is the lead singer/guitarist of my favorite band...Los Lonely Boys :)

I always purchase perishables last so as I made my way to the dairy aisle I ran into him again. I just had to stop and ask if anyone had remarked about his amazing resemblance to Henry...and without having to ask what Henry he just smiled and said they had. We talked about their music for a while but I could not get the courage to ask if I could take his picture.

It is so funny because Leilani (a blog reader) had previously said I should go to San Angelo, Texas and try to interview Enrique Garza (The Lonely Papi) a darn good looking widowed Tall Weathered Cowboy and patriarch of the Garza family using my blog and readers request as a passport to do so. This guy doppelgänger said he wanted to drive to San Angelo to meet him as well and maybe share a laugh about his resemblance to his son.  By the way, this lookalike doppelgänger is from Del Rio. He certainly made my day!

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.



Los Lonely Boys

This is my FAVORITE song by them...https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wvkzoqQ5Oak
Enjoy...you're welcome :)

Late night jamming to YouTube videos

The mornings have been chilly and gray.  Except for a couple of days in March and April in the 90's and one that reached 107 degrees, we have had below normal temperatures for this time of year.  That is a good thing!

I missed the six o'clock news but I do believe we are expecting rain tomorrow.  I was outside transferring water around so I can make room for more in my rain catchment system.

Yesterday was such an enjoyable day no neighbors around they were all at area parks celebrating Easter with their families. I decided to make Caldo de Res (Beef Soup) to use all the vegetables I still had from my trips to México. I opened up the windows and had a good crosswind circulating through the house that kept the kitchen from getting warm.

Last night I just could not go to sleep so started watching YouTube videos as I tend to do when this happens.  I have always wished that I had been old enough to have attended Woodstock but I was a kid at the time. The musician I would have most liked to have seen perform was Carlos Santana. Thanks to technology I was able to watch his original performance, boy was he young!

Forward to newer videos and that is how I came upon one of Santana a couple of months back with the Lonely Boys at the 2004 Latin Grammys https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxbmHc9ZBys    It is almost sacrilege to say but I do believe Henry Garza could well be his successor after seeing this American Music Awards performance with Carlos https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=V6mY6vEa8DY

Needless to say, the music made me want to jam not sleep!  Forced myself to go to bed at 5:30 a.m. so it is no wonder that I have done absolutely nothing all day.  Oh, by the way, the Lonely Boys are from San Angelo, Texas and their father is a widower and a good looking TWC.  Enrique Garza is shown on a YouTube video jamming with his boys and the legendary Willie Nelson.

My cousin is on vacation and asked me to keep my cellphone turned on in case my uncle needed something as he would likely call me before he dialed him.  I do not like technology but I have to say that Whatsapp has come in handy for calls to other countries.

There was an earthquake this morning in Mexico. My cousin felt it because he is vacationing close to the epicenter but could not get through to my uncle.  He finally answered and come to find out he did not even feel it or even know about it because the seismic alarms never went off.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
