It is not often that I get to talk to my best friend for an extended amount of time except when we meet up in Terlingua and for those long-time followers you know that I am going on three years of not being able to attend the annual Terlingua Chili Cook-off.
She and her boyfriend have been in Galveston since last Thursday checking out a new RV Resort. We were texting but my arthritic fingers can not keep up with an experienced texter. So we decided to have a "Virtual Happy Hour". It was so nice to be able to talk to her while sharing a virtual beer. We visited for over three hours finally calling it a night at 3:08 a.m. No small wonder that I did not wake up in time for my early morning walk as by that time it was just too hot.
I am signed up for automatic withdrawals on all the utilities as well as paperless billing so when I got an e-mail from the Electric Company with this month's bill I hesitated to open it. As you know we have been having some really hellish temperatures this past month. Finally got the nerve to do so and I was pleasantly surprised that it wasn't as bad as I thought thanks to turning on the ceiling fans during the day.
Got another e-mail from them asking for us to conserve electricity in the following days from 2:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. as it still remains hot as hell in Texas.
We had a high of 97 a low of 76 with a heat index of 101.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
