Thrilled to leave the house

I can not remember the last time I was so thrilled to drive into Del Rio proper.  My first stop was Tractor & Supply to buy the boys food.  When I got to the parking lot I started moving stuff from the car to the trunk to make room for my purchases.

All of a sudden a white truck hauling a long trailer parked sideways longways behind me and a man with a cowboy hat and yellow colored glasses (the type Marvin Zindler used to wear but his were blue tinted ones) got off and made a beeline towards me...WTH?

I guess he saw my puzzled look...then he said...don't you recognize me?  Then it hit me that it was...Pollito!  He looked taller like he had lost weight was dressed in a clean outfit with a brand new cowboy hat and "those yellow glasses".

He said my weeds were getting high and he could mow them next week.  I again for the umpteenth time told him that I wanted to wait until everything was dry because I did not want more ruts!  He was with a younger guy who was headed inside the store and he followed him as I kept on moving more stuff to my trunk.

It was a good thing that when I came back out he was gone.  Headed to the P.O. Box and it was crammed full that is when I realized it had been a week since I was last here.

Ran more errands and had planned on stopping at the Sirloin Stockade for lunch but when I got there the parking lot was full.  There is no way I am going to stand in line for anything...with the exception of perhaps a Los Lonely Boys concert.

Today we had a high of 91 and a low of 73 degrees...each day from now on it will be getting hotter.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
