Today we had to go to the local hospital for mother's monthly blood draw as well as an X-ray. Got to watch CNN as we waited. Had no idea the measles epidemic was that bad or how easy it is to contract it. Kind of scary particularly because we frequent hospitals and doctor's offices.
Did you know that an infected person can leave a room and someone that walks in up to two hours later can still become infected? Not news I wanted to hear :-(
On January 23rd there was a house fire in which a lady tragically died. My mother thought it was the wife of a friend of my father's. Today we drove by there but it wasn't the person she knew.
The lady was in her late 70's and lived alone. The space heater caught on fire because she had a lot of things in close proximity to it. Things like this really sadden me.
It appears that gasoline prices are once again on the rise. This afternoon in our way into town this was the price at the local Exxon.
A block away HEB had the following price. I commented to mother that I bet when we made our way back home they would have raised it.to match HEB...sure enough that was the case.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
