What Was He Thinking?

Glen Rose, Texas

Weather: low 49 degrees in Bay City, Texas, high 50 degrees in Glen Rose, Texas, partly cloudy to clear skies

We're usually early risers, and this morning was no different. As a result, we were ready to leave Bay City by 0630 hours. Only one problem: there was no one at the RV park for us to settle up our bill. So, we had to wait about an hour for the host to show up. It was after 0730 hours by the time we were finally able to pull out.

Today was a Sunday, so traffic was about as light as it gets. The only thing that caused us any concern was a fairly brisk wind that came up between El Campo and La Grange, blowing from the north at about 25 miles per hour. That means we were driving directly into the wind, which makes the truck work harder, with less fuel efficiency. Luckily, the wind died down about the time we got to La Grange, so driving was easier after that.

A funny ting happened on our way through Rosebud. There is a four way stop sign in the center of town. A city policeman was sitting about 30 feet away from the stop sign, watching the traffic go by. One car pulled up to the stop sign, driving within about five feet of the policeman's car. Without stopping, the car kept going. Now, what was he thinking?? The policeman immediately started his car, turned his flashers on, and stopped the the car that had run the stop sign. Again, what was he thinking??

It was late in the afternoon by the time we got into Glen Rose. The wind had started blowing again, and with the temperature in the 40s, it was a little chilly. By the time we were set up in our space, it was getting close to supper time. We warmed up the RV in a hurry, using two electric heaters and the furnace. Getting warm made me even more tired than I was earlier, but I didn't stop until the satellite dish was installed. It's about time to get a new receiver, since the last few times the dish has been set up, the receiver set up screen has shown that we didn't have a signal on satellite 110, when we did.

Supper was simple, but filling (and good!): chicken soup with plenty of black pepper and ham sandwiches.

We have lab work scheduled first thing in the morning, and see our doctor tomorrow afternoon for our yearly physicals. If the doctor doesn't want us to do any more tests than normal, we will leave here on Tuesday morning on our way back to north Alabama. Time to finish setting up the new home base and get ready for the holidays.

More later, be safe.
