Hopefully The Last Hot One

They say the cold front is moving in on us tonight.  Wow, some cold front!  It will get down to 63F.   However, I haven't been using the a/c but for a couple of hours in the afternoon and sleeping so far in McAllen hasn't been too bad.   I think I will enjoy the 10° drop.

The big news in the snowbird world here in the valley was the shoot out that took place in a well-known rv park in Mission.  Two old-coots got into an arguement, one went home and came back on his golf cart.  They got into again and proceeded to shoot and kill each other.   A sad tragedy, but one that shows us again that guns are dangerous in anyone's hands.

Here in this park there is a park model that has a large shield hanging on the side with two crossing pistols.  Above that it says, "we don't call 911".  Yikes!

Yesterday I worked here in McAllen in one of the best valley schools.  I had 300 students packed into the auditorium and we had a great time.  Same thing as last year but these were a new group of juniors and seniors that hadn't attended.   We cut out the lunch and and extra fifteen minutes so that we started at 8 and finished at 1 p.m.  Worked out good for me.   I was pretty wiped out last night.

Today I did laundry to prepare for my trip back to El Paso on Monday.  I did a little grocery shopping and housekeeping and finished that off with a nice lunch of two chicken tostadas that I made.   My nap came shortly after and later this afternoon  I'm going for a swim.   Juan will be here in another week and we might take the rv up to San Antonio for a few days before returning home.  Looks like a short season.  The sales rep is still taking care of her son who had a brain tumor removed and hasn't been able to return to work.  I was asked yesterday if I would be interested in the job.  No thank you, I don't work full time anymore.

A friend from Puerto Rico says they are gearing up for a possible tsunami.  FEMA has sent body bags, coffins and military.   The local government says it's just a rumor but a close friend who works in a local hospital says she say the equipment arriving.  Let's home not.  Looks like a big one though.
