I read this sign to say: No smoking, but pets are allowed.
Or maybe it means leave your smoking dog outside…
I read this sign
The weather said go south
We listened.
Perfect weather while we were there at Brazos Bend.
Then the arctic front happened. Now we’re happily home.
I remember
I remember learning a term in Business Law class. Attractive Nuisance. The term describes a dangerous situation that might be attractive to someone who has not yet developed the judgement to resist the attraction. If that person is then injured, the property owner might be held liable. If a construction site digs a hole, leaves it unfenced and unguarded, and kids come play in it and get hurt, the construction company could be at fault. Like when I was a kid and a crew demolished a two-story house, first starting with some excavation that left the house still intact, but tilting at a crazy angle, then went home for the weekend. It was an awesome haunted house kind of experience, running all through it bumping into walls, feeling the floor shudder. Nobody got hurt, so the attractive nuisance statute was not triggered, if it even existed back then.
Walking through the forest, that recollection came back to me for no reason at all…
Also, I don’t know if the rule only applies to children.

A most excellent plan
We need some civilization. Or something close to it. We headed off to a KOA campground in Texarkana for some reliable wifi and laundry.
That was the plan for Wednesday anyway, but it’s not really nice here. Right by the road, there is a lot of traffic noise. There are washing machines that take quarters, but no change machine and the office couldn’t help. There is high-speed wifi, but the office doesn’t know the code today. Not a place we want to stand outside cooking Thanksgiving dinner in the cold. We spent the night and left. The weather map said go south. Tonight, Thursday, we’re at Brazos Bend State Park, one of our favorite places on the planet.
Got a very nice site.
And a very nice Thanksgiving dinner.
Judy has a more elaborate one planned. We’ll do the full camping Thanksgiving dinner, on another day soon, TBA.
