I am beginning to experience cabin fever. Have not left the house in days. First, because it was too hot, then we got a lot of rain and if I drive the car out of the garage/carport to the front gate I am going to make rut marks which I will then have to fill in. The last thing I want to do is add more things to my To Do List.
Supposedly the rain will end tonight and tomorrow we will be back up to the '90s which are the normal temperatures for this time of the year.
Forgot to mention in case anyone is planning a trip to Ciudad Acuña / Del Rio...that they have made the right lane coming back to the USA...exclusively for trailers and 18-wheelers. So stay to the left because no one is going to let you cut in.
The hours of implementation will be Monday to Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Saturday's from 8:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m.
In case you are wondering why I mostly post newspaper articles in Spanish, it is because the Del Rio News-Herald our local newspaper does not hit the newsstands until 3:00 p.m. while El Zocalo an excellent newspaper from Ciudad Acuña has theirs available for sale by 5:00 a.m.

| Glad I did not go the day it went into effect as per this article it generated a bottleneck that backed up traffic to Ciudad Acuña and it took more than two hours to cross the International Bridge. |
When we leave early for San Antonio I often see El Zocalo's delivery trucks as far away as Uvalde and Castroville, Texas.

There is also good news, they have re-opened the Amistad Dam Port of Entry after "We the People" complained to our Senators and they wrote a letter to CBP (Customs and Border Protection) urging them to re-open it.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
