The calm before the storm

These past couple of days we have had wonderful temperatures in the low to high 80's.  However, the weather is going to take a sharp turn both in temperatures as in severity starting this evening.  We are expecting high winds, severe thunderstorms, one-inch hail and a slight possibility of tornados.

In the insomnia front, it has taken another strange turn. I am used to going online after midnight, making my posts as well as reading the blogs I follow until four or five in the morning.  Lately, I am falling asleep watching the ten o'clock news and barely making it to eleven o'clock. On the downside, I am wide awake by four or five o'clock in the morning.

George, if you are reading me (Our Awesome Travels)...as unbelievable as it might seem I am getting up earlier than you!  Of course, I do not accomplish as much as you do in a day...will have to work on that.

HEB does not open until 6:00 a.m. so I took the opportunity and headed out early to stock up on larger size salad (they do not have that at little HEB) and basically have a much better selection as you would expect the larger size store to have.

The only bad thing is that being Sunday in Texas you can not buy beer until noon.  That is a silly law enacted decades ago to make Sunday a day of rest and going to church.  In Texas, the outdated "Blue Laws" does not allow for residents to buy hard liquor or a car on Sunday. Now, how silly is that? Ran several more errands so I will not have to be out and about in bad weather.

Telemundo has a daily segment in their newscast that gives the wait times to cross back to the USA both for Eagle Pass as well as Del Rio, Texas.  Yesterday at 5:00 p.m. it was 2 hours 15 minutes and today it was 1 hour and 15 minutes.  That is another reason why I chose to stock up today as I had forgotten all about Spring Break and the havoc it wreaks.  My grocery run to Mexico will have to be put on hold.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.



Spurs Corner

The first quarter did not look promising but somehow we pulled another win tonight.

I love how the bats take the attention away from the game by making their grand entrance in the middle of the action :)
