Early to rise

I was dead tired last night and actually went to bed early. I was up by 7:00 a.m. and wanted to take advantage of this as it does not happen very often.

The City of Del Rio lost its Social Security office in 2013. The nearest office is located in Eagle Pass, Texas, 60 miles down the road. The Val Verde County Community Center offered SSA space free of charge due to public outcry. The only catch is its hours of operation are from 9:00 a.m to 12:00 p.m. so people get there early.

I got there in my "unique version" of early and was the 25th person. I was surprised that they had a large waiting room with a big screen TV and I only had an hour and a half wait. Sure beats having to drive to Eagle Pass.

I was starving so went to buy me two breakfast tacos at the Stripes on the way to México which is the one closest to the house but not the one I usually frequent.  Note to self: do not buy breakfast at this location after 10:00 a.m.

The skies looked menacing and the weather guy said we were going to have rain this afternoon but they were wrong as usual so headed into town to pick up the mail. Dairy Queen was offering a free snow cone so headed that way and was surprised at the number of people in line.  None in front of me ordered anything else so did not feel too bad when I didn't either. To be fair I do frequent them.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
