Last Doctor's Visit

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 30 degrees, high 64 degrees, heavy frost this morning, clear skies, calm

Carolyn had her last visit today with the doctor that has been the lead in treating her vertigo. She has been released to carry on normal activites again. We are hopeful that the tools she has been given to help her manage the vertigo when it strikes again will help her to get over future episodes.

We have not decided when we will leave here yet, nor where we will go. There are some tasks we need to take care of, plus we have a few local sights we still want to visit and write stories on.

We received our absentee voting ballots today, and immediately filled them out. We'll put them in the mail tomorrow. For some reason, I don't have the enthusiasm for voting this year as I have in the past. Could it be because none of the candidates embrace the ideals I believe in? I voted for the candidates I thought came closest to what I believe in, but I am under no illusions that they will do what they say they will.

Comache Peak is a local landmark that dominates the countryside, and is located about three miles north of us. Actually a mesa, the peak rises 1,229 feet (above sea level), which is about 400 feet above the surrounding countryside. It was thought to have had ceremonial value for local tribes and was a look-out point for game and enemies. The Comanche Peak Nuclear Station, located about four miles south, was named after the local landmark.




The picture above was taken about eight miles away.
This picture was taken about four miles away.

More later, be safe.

Dad,

That area looks the same regardless of the season- dry.
Bay City looks anything but dry- so green, and soggy, and worn out.
Your area is looking pretty good for Spring Break.
