Falcon State Park

 

Bird blinds and feeding stations.  That’s what we have when we sit on our deck for morning coffee every morning at home.  That’s what we look for in state parks.  Additionally, we can make one wherever we go when conditions are right, and they are right, here at Falcon.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And an orange crowned warbler bathing in the sprinkler mist.

 

 

 

We’re headed home tomorrow.  We have a bottle of champagne in the refrigerator, ready to celebrate election night or get drunk, depending on the outcome.  In 2016 I actually said out loud once that I didn’t care how the election turned out, I just wanted it to be over.  This time around, I’m being more specific.

 

Social Distancing

 

 

 

We’re the only people in this entire section of the park.

 

We’re not far from the Rio Grande river.

 

 

It’s nice here.  Shoulder season.  We’re past the heavy heat of summer, and before a lot of Winter Texans get here.  It’s wide open, comfortable, and quiet. 

 

More South Padre Island

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

This cherry Karmann Ghia strikes a nerve.  Judy and I drove one that Dad had, a 1962 I think, when we were first married.

 

Our Karmann Ghia didn’t look like that though, it looked more like this.

(Except ours had left hand drive.)

 

And here is me, doing what I also do; working.  I don’t work all day every day, I’m only part time now, but I’m always ready for whatever needs to happen next.  I don’t actually audit financial statements anymore; like everybody else in our office.  Mostly I talk to people that might want to hire us, and if they do, I line everything up for the real auditors to actually do the work.  And sometimes, when Ken and Shannon let me, I proactively prospect for organizations that might want to hire us.

 

Multitasking; working, while maintaining social distancing from my barber.  🙂
