Misty Day

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 42 degrees, high 48 degrees, cloudy, misty, winds 10 to 15 mph

Today's weather was not anything to write home about. The next two days are expected to be even worse, with lows in the 20s, freezing rain and sleet, and some accumulation of ice. Sounds great, doesn't it? Maybe we'll get a little snow while we're at it.

About 1000 hours, we had some errands to run in Glen Rose. While we were at the hardware store, one of the classic old cars of the 1970s and 1980s parked there. It was an El Camino, and what caught our eye about it, other than it being a classic, was that it was a four door model, which we had never seen before. With the four doors, it was loooongggg! Here's a picture of the classic.



When we got back from Glen Rose, I replaced the rusty bolts on the satellite dish so I could fine tune the set up. It took about ten minutes to get the signal we're accustomed to, and another little chore was finished.

We went to Chili's for supper, and had their bacon burgers. It wasn't bad, but I think the bacon burger from the Chili's in Tuscaloosa was better. I know Carolyn's hamburgers are better.

When we left Chili's, we stopped at the WalMart Mall to pick up a few groceries. As we were standing in the quick checkout line, Carolyn said I should let the girl behind us go ahead of us, since she only had about five items in her hands. The only problem was that the man behind her had two items, then another man with three items... If I let one person go ahead, I have to let all of them go ahead. I don't have a problem letting people go ahead, but when do you go on and check out? So I decided we would keep our place in line, and it took very little time to get checked out. Was that wrong?

We received our mail today, but there was not any tax information in the packet. It's probably a little too early. Maybe next week.

More later, be safe.
