Why would he paint his truck like an African Safari Jeep? We’re not in Africa. We’re in Texas. There aren’t any zebras here. All we have are gulls…
Clarification
Optical illusion. It looks like you can see right through the building but you can’t. Really, the facing just blew off without compromising the integrity of the structure.
Saturday
The wind that blew night before last? The one that blew up our satellite dish? It did worse than that to the building down the street.
Cool and rainy. The weather seems too cool here, but I looked at the national weather forecast for tomorrow, and we probably shouldn’t complain. We’re not blue or purple.
Birded a little this morning. Got some Red-breasted Mergansers. Didn’t get the Monk Parakeets, again. Got Eared Grebes in the surf.
Christmas
Mild weather until yesterday when a big wind storm blew in in the middle of the night. We got up and put in the bedroom slide right away to quiet it down so we could sleep the rest of the night. We tried to put the television satellite dish down too, but it was already blown up. We may be making a trip north toward Houston in a few weeks to see our satellite dish repair guy. Next morning the wind was still blowing so hard from the west we put in the port side slide too. But all that weather went away last night. This morning dawned bright and sunny and cold. Forty degrees. It should warm back up over the next few days to where it’s supposed to be; sixty or seventy. A good get-together last night, Christmas eve. Forty or fifty people. We did dinner in the Welcome Center then had the gift exchange. A pleasant day today. Merry Christmas to all.
