We sadly had our first murder of the year involving a 27-year-old woman mother to six children. She was shot to death at San Felipe Cemetery one of our oldest and historic cemeteries. The good news is that two people have been arrested one a man who is the main suspect and a young woman. Authorities have been tight-lipped about the investigation.
While winter storm Xylia did not bring the arctic cold and snow that it has to Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, and Nebraska it did bring tornados, hail, and bad weather to the Texas Panhandle. All this week we have been dealing with strong wind gusts. All the cars are covered with dust. I have been surprised that Mr. Joe has not washed his car or his wife's truck as his vehicles are always impeccable. Late this afternoon I did see him washing the truck...where is my tall weathered cowboy so he can wash mine? 😢
Not much going on in the Del Rio branch of Terlingua Dreams. Though I have been spending considerable time on the phone talking to family, friends, and acquaintances. To say that I am aghast at what I have been hearing is putting it mildly.
Even though most of the people I spoke with live in Houston where there are more than ample supplies of Covid-19 vaccinations and mass vaccination sites where you do not even have to get down from your vehicle they consider it to be a nuisance...they will wait for vaccines to arrive at their local pharmacies!
Others do not plan on getting vaccinated at all...I tell you just when you think you know someone...it turns out you do not know them at all! That is when I was uplifted by a story I read in The Eagle Pass News-Leader that showed a man carrying his elderly mother over his shoulder in Piedras Negras, Coahuila, México (across the border from Eagle Pass, Texas) so she could get her Covid-19 vaccine. It showed comments of readers offering the man used wheelchairs and walkers and commending the unidentified man for being such a good son!
