It has been very hot lately and there is no relieve insight worst yet the holiday weekend is almost here so I did not want to postpone the errands I needed to run.
Had to do my civic duty so headed to Val Verde County Courthouse to cast my early vote. Found that early voting is no longer inside the courthouse but on another building in its grounds that once housed the County Jail.
If you did not know any better you might have thought you walked into a hospital. The personnel was in full PPE gear which made me feel much better. At the time I went in, I was the only voter inside.
The courthouse is caddy corner to HEB #1 (Little HEB) ordinarily, I would have done my shopping there but I had gotten an e-mail saying our prescriptions were ready to be picked up so had to head to Big HEB instead.
Needed some more spinach and other items for my salads.
They had a good price on grape tomatoes.
Avocados...
There were limiting many items.
I was surprised there was a limit on ice cream as there has NEVER been an occasion that I have needed to purchase 4 tubs of ice cream in one transaction.
Gasoline prices keep on going up, therefore, I decided it was a good time to fill-up before it goes up even higher.

I apologize for the poor quality. Price was $1.879 a gallon for unleaded gasoline. |
It was an extremely hot and humid day. We had a low of 81, a high of 105 with a heat index of 109 degrees.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
