Breakfast tacos / Junk Mail / Severe Thunderstorm Watch

I was very hungry this morning so I decided to go buy some breakfast tacos as I am sick of eating cereal. It took me a while when Town & Country sold its stores to Stripes and now they have been sold to 7-Eleven to get the name straight. They are still greeting customers with the phrase "welcome to Stripes".

There must be a big trial because there were a lot of vehicles parked near the Post Office as the Federal Courthouse is right across the street. It was drizzling, cloudy, and very humid. I briefly considered going to Little HEB to get some water as I hear there is a shortage nationwide of this vital liquid...but decided I would rather eat my tacos.

As I passed the main HEB, unleaded gasoline was going for $3.999 and the corner Exxon was selling it for $4.199.

Last week one of the San Antonio TV stations did a report on junk mail and I almost died laughing when I saw that the lady being interviewed had as much mail from AARP as I do. I don't know how many times I have opted out of their magazine and e-mails and then they start right back up again.

I finally got around to checking my e-mails and they are a nuisance as well. How many times does Walmart need to remind me that the item I looked at "is selling fast?". Tractor & Supply, Home Depot, Triple-A, and Domino's Pizza hounding me to download their App...I don't do Apps...grrrrrrrrrrr!!!

I waited too long as we are currently under a Severe Thunderstorm Watch, so my trip to HEB will have to wait for another day. Here is hoping that we don't get any hail even if we lose power.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Mail Clutter / Mall / Whataburger

Had to go down to the post office to mail some bills and pick up our mail.  I have signed up for e-bills wherever I can in order to manage our mail clutter.  However, I do not seem to be getting anywhere.  The main culprits are Triple-A, AARP, my credit union, my automobile insurance company and darn flippers supposedly wanting to make me an offer on my Houston house.

My next stop was the main branch of my bank. Pulled into the parking lot and it was packed, as you know I stay away from lines or crowded places. They have a branch at the local mall that has little foot traffic so chose this option.

I hardly ever go inside the mall. The only stores I frequent there are Ross and Marshalls and you do not have to go inside the mall to access them. I decided to pay Ross a visit but walked the mall.  I was so surprised that there were so many stores that have gone out of business. The few that are still open had few people...sad :-(

It was four o'clock and I had not eaten breakfast or lunch so decided to treat myself to a mushroom burger at Whataburger...I know, I am not supposed to eat at fast food joints...but I did anyway, it was delicious and I do not feel the least bit guilty about it.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.


Spurs Corner

I love my Spurs but sometimes they drive me crazy. This was a game we HAD to WIN!  I am glad we pulled it off but I really sweated the last two minutes.

We have a very tough upcoming schedule, so I am keeping my fingers crossed...GSG!!!
