The mosquitoes are terrible and they are even inside the house. I know I should not complain in particular with all the flooding in the wake of now tropical storm Florence taking place in the Carolina's but I am really sick of all the rain.
It is currently raining right now and the weather forecasters told us to expect from three to four inches tonight and tomorrow. I briefly considered going to buy two additional trash cans to capture more rainwater but the thought of going to Walmart on the weekend made me change my mind.
Remember the trash can I tried to repair with duct tape but failed? It has been put to good use by the cats.
This evening as I washed dishes I watched old episodes of Anthony Bourdain - Parts Unknown, boy did he used to eat well! Anderson Cooper once remarked that he had the palate of a five-year-old yet Anthony would try to push his limits and have him try exotic food. I laughed when he said that because I feel the same.
After watching the Berlin and Quebec episodes I so wanted a glass of wine or a beer but I do not have any. All I have is a bottle of Tequila (that I bought a couple of years ago for Terlingua) and a bottle of Kahlua that I use to spike my eggnog during Christmas.
Today is Mexican Independence Day and I could have had a celebratory shot of Tequila, though I don't really like Tequila unless it is served in the form of a frozen Margarita. I think the last margarita I had was in 2013 at Taco Cabana in Houston.
Mother wanted some ice cream for dessert...then I said to myself, why not have Kahlua with ice cream? For ME, not her. It was different but tasty, though I would rather have a beer.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
