We are having some wicked winds here in southern Val Verde County and temperatures are going to drop below the freezing mark this evening. I sure am glad I have not washed Midnight (my car) because it along with the others are caked with dust. The news at noon said 33 mph but it sure felt like they were higher than that.
Actually, it is not only us but the whole state of Texas that is under a freeze warning and is experiencing high winds. However, I am not complaining and I will relish this what I hope is our "last cold front" of the season as our summers can be brutal.
On Wednesday, March 2nd I went to drop off metal cans and plastic water bottles at the Recycling Center but prior to that I had stopped at Stripes to pick up a breakfast taco but everything looked dry so I passed. I was hungry so I stopped at Burger King and since no one was dining at the time decided to eat my meal there. I apologize for this small picture but when I e-mail them to myself they shrink 😒
This is probably the fourth time I have eaten here since it opened three or four years ago so I am not familiar with the menu. The guy asked me if I wanted small, medium, or large...so I said large. I had no idea that "large" referred to everything else but the darn breakfast sandwich which was frankly not that good. First KFC and now Burger King...are the "Let Me Cheat Fast Food Gods" conspiring against me?
A gentleman arrived and also decided to dine in. Like most people these days he was on his phone calling his friends or relatives to relay the price of gasoline at various places in town. I had already seen the price at HEB when I drove by but could not take a picture because the phone was in my purse. On my way home I stopped to snap a picture.

Even though I still had 3/4th of a tank I got a wild hair and decided to fill up. Something I am grateful for. That is the last time I gassed up Midnight.
As you know I am a "news junkie" so I have been glued to the television set and somehow making a post about my first-world problems that do not amount to a hill of beans in the enormity of what is going on in the world seemed trivial...but I needed a break and decided to give myself one this afternoon. That in a nutshell is why I have not made a post or even gone online.
Good night. May you all have Terlingua Dreams.
