Because we live in way South Texas

 We get to walk in places where we see signs like this: We don’t actually get to see ocelots, but we get to see suggestions that they’re around.  We do see bobcats from time to time. A big old tortoise out for a walk.  …until I disturb him by walking past. …and other things not out for a walk. …that used to be here.

Driving up north last summer

 …we passed an interesting road sign; one we hadn’t seen before.  It read “Plows use caution”.  Oh great.  In the winter when roads are at their worst, they put up signs warning the snow plow drivers to be careful?  What about the rest of us?  These are signs we’ve never seen in snowy Colorado, so it must be *really* snowy up here in the great northeast. We saw more than one of those signs.  We detected a pattern.  All the signs were located just before the road went over a bridge that had a road going underneath.  The signs were warning the snow plow drivers not to create a sudden avalanche for the unsuspecting drivers below!

Fun photo

 For those of you that remember the Louisville house, I have a photo to pass along.  Diane had been out bicycling and stopped at our house for a picture. It’s nice to see the old house looking so neat and tidy. For those of you who don’t know the house, it was originally a two room farm house, a section house, built around 1910.  It has survived a series of additions over the years, making the part to the left (you can’t see in this picture) a two story affair.  Our addition (to the even farther left) was an enclosed stairway improving access to the upstairs.  The house was in danger of getting torn down when we sold it, but we found a buyer who wanted to refurbish it and modernize the interior.  He did.  We’re glad.
