Extreme drought / In store pick-up / Avocados

We are still suffering from high temperatures even without taking into account the heat indexes.  The trees continue to lose their leaves not because it is Fall but because we have had no rain.  Every Thursday the drought map for Texas comes out, last week we were in a severe drought, this week the southern tip of Val Verde County where we reside is in extreme drought.

This week I had raked the leaves in the front yard but due to the high winds, it looks like I am going to have to do it all over again!  Today we had a high of 96 a low of 74 with a heat index of 98 degrees.

Drove into town this afternoon to run errands.  I had ordered something online from Walmart with the option of store pick-up so I had no choice but to finally enter the store I have been avoiding since the El Paso mass shooting.

I had no idea they had a new pick up center I think it is called a Tower?  It is automated however their WiFi was down and since I do not want to have to come again I went shopping until it came back up.

JudithK, if you are reading this you were correct.  Before I had only bought avocados at HEB but the ones at Walmart were equally non-ripe but I bought them anyway.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
