Did anyone see the Super Red/Blue Moon?

Did anyone get up to see the Super Red/Blue Moon this morning?  I considered it but my bed was nice and warm and I just did not feel like going outside.  I do not even know if it was visible as there was fog in the area.  I will have to wait until 2037, that is if I happen to be alive on that date.

Even though it got to 71 degrees this afternoon I did not go outside.  For the past two weeks, I am being accosted by a white female cat.  I can not even go outside without she running up to me and /or following me around and whining like I was her mother or something.

I have never seen her before though we do have another stray around her age (about 8 months) that is totally black and that comes to eat the flour tortillas I put out for the birds since I am not able to eat them because of my high cholesterol.  While I hate to throw out food, I guess I will have to.

She is a total pest and tries to get in between my feet, the last thing I need is to take a fall...we have had more than our share of falls in this family!

That is all I have for today folks.

Good night.  May you all have Terlingua Dreams.

Short update

Did you all get to see the super moon?  I bundled up Mom and we went outside to marvel at its beauty.  Too bad my camera does not take good night shots.  Would love to purchase a new point and shoot but have not done the required research.

Had to clean out the car as we had a doctor's appointment in San Antonio.  When going to the desert it helps to protect your upholstery with old sheets and towels. Less dirt and easier to deal with the campfire smell.  Need to make a trip to the laundromat soon!

Yesterday had to drive in heavy fog that lasted until pretty late in the morning.  Though we arrived on time, there were so many cars even on the top level of the garage that I had to wait around until somebody left.

While it may take a while to see the doctor, you usually are ushered right in for your lab work, that was not the case on this occasion. I asked the receptionist why there were so many people, she said they had taken in more patients.  That is not good news as this is an Oncology Center.

Took my tablet so I could put my time to good use but their Wi-fi connection is poor.  I did notice that they have added more electrical strips so people can charge their electronics, with as much time as we have to wait, that was a good idea.

We spent four hours there and with the new time change decided to hit the road and see how far I got before sunset. Considered getting a hotel room in Uvalde but with the added illumination from the super moon pressed on to Del Rio, but went 55 in a 70 m.p.h. zone just in case I had a deer encounter.

I will try to finish the last leg of my Chili Cook-off trip but I was hoping to get some pictures and a video from my Houston friends.  However, they are just as technologically challenged as I am but at least they have children and grandchildren who can show them the ropes unlike myself :-(

Since it is morning, I  can not wish you a good night and Terlingua Dreams, so have a great day instead.
