…but we struggle to remember when it’s F. Hot weather on the beach. Morning coffee in the shade. Evening light.
Along the way
Last May, I had a close encounter with a Wilson’s phalarope.
It’s an odd bird.
It’s built like a shorebird, but paddles around like a duck.

Now we’re in the motorhome and back at Gulf Waters RV Resort outside of Port Aransas, TX.

Regardless of where we are, we’ll be in the motorhome for the duration. It’s good to be back.

The dermatologist cut a big chunk out of my back for such a little spot that needed to be removed, but he got it all with the first excavation. It was a basal cell carcinoma and it is now gone. I’m stitched up and turned loose. We’re good to go again. Stitches come out in two weeks. The last 10 days were a good shakedown cruise for the bus. It’s fine. Just before we left, we got a big 150,000 mile tune-up for the Jeep and it was a good shakedown cruise for that. A fluid leak developed while we were out, so back here in Edinburg we got a new radiator put in. The Jeep should be fine now. The dermatologist fixed me today, so I’m good to go. Judy didn’t get any attention, but she’s good enough already. We’re not going to schedule any more doctors’ visits before we get underway. Well, except for one last visit to the dentist in Corpus to get our teeth cleaned, but that’s just a teeth cleaning. What could possibly go wrong with that? Tomorrow, 170 miles back to Gulf Waters on Mustang Island. Back to the beach and on the road again.
The Sudoku Challenge
Here is a game with most of the numbers filled in.
It shows the possibilities remaining for each open square. I don’t see any obvious moves left. I want to finish it without guessing….. At this point, it looks to me like the only way to finish this one is to run through various scenarios in my head or on paper. My head isn’t big enough to hold very many consecutive imaginary moves, so that means I write it all out on paper or I guess. (I don’t really write it out on paper.) Most of the open squares have only two possibilities each. Only three squares have three possibilities each. Is there something to make of that?
