Nite before last, i woke up about 1;30 to go to the b'room, and heard the tones go off for the Kingsland Fire Dept. A call in about a house fully engulfed. People had moved out about 2 months ago, they said. Of course it burned to the ground. Same ol Same ol,, this has been an ongoing thing for a long time. And yeah, it's arson fires. This made about 7 or so houses, and i think i read there were 11 grass fires that were arson, too. They arrested one 17 year old, but ,,,,. This is horrible. The residents in K'land are really putting the pressure on to get this stopped. Sure hope they get em all, send em off permanently. Had this happen here years ago, and it turned out to be the fire chiefs son doing it. He got sent off for years. Then got out, and got sent back.
Those F1 races on that new track have been going strong. Unreal. And it's just down the road,,,lol. Here that means about 75 miles away. Austin has been having stuff going on all weekend. For being the 1st time, it has gone soooo good. Read somewhere, that having that kind of race in Austin, was like having ??? in Mayberry,,,,lololol. I don't know how they got it all done in time.
Don't know why Sundays are so long and boring. I even did some mopping,,,lololol.

What a Great Day,,,Yesterday
J was here, then my dotter and partner came by and stayed for hours,,, We laughed so much, i'm sore,,,lololol. They all left about 3 so i went to the park for a while since daylight is short these days. Had to stop at the library too, 1 book left and 1/2 way thru with it. I'm reading Harlan Coben now,,great books. Part of his books are based on one man, but i like the others better. So i'm reading those first, and will get to the others, later.
I was amazed that one of my readers, Goldie, was in SA too. That was probably my last trip. His check ups will be in F'burg.
Actually, i don't have much to write about. I have finally adjusted to the time change, i think,,,lol. Not losing that hour now.
Had a man show up yesterday to fix my slow ISP. lololol. Had to call him later and tell him it was still doing the same thing, after he had spent so much time on it. I know what happened. Since my connection fluctuates on the speed, when he tested it, he was catching it on the top end. There is this thingy that shows bars and when they're all white, i'm GOOD. But, when green ones start showing i'm getting slow. Right now, i have 1 green and it can go to 3, then all go back to the white again. He moved my modem, changed out a line to it, and when he checked, it showed good on his machine...Hated to call him later. I kinda think it's the modem.
That's all i've got, so yall tc, and

SA Again Today
Staple pulling time today. 2PM apt, so we'll be leaving about 11:30. With all our "rest" stops, we allow a little extra time.
He's shaving, and says he's gonna lie down for a bit...There are pillows in the car, back seat, so he can if he wants. We need to make a stop at Walmart later to get more of the bandages that work so good under the brace,,,no one has em here. They are more padded and with the holes left from those 23 staples, he'll need that. Also need some more of that saline wash.

Took these yesterday at the park... There were so many different birds there late yesterday., makes it really interesting. There was a big group of white ones sitting on the dam, and we weren't sure what they were. We think maybe egrets... But,, we know what egrets look like and these just weren't quite the same. They were too far to get a good look. We tried binoculars, but the sun shining on them,,well,,just not sure.
Got a good nite's sleep, ready to drive. It's cloudy and i sure like to drive like that. The apt. is at 2 so there won't be traffic problems. It's NEVER as bad as Austin any time. Besides, it's right close to the first loop, 1604, don't have to go into the worse parts.

PS Forgot to mention,,J and i saw a whooping crane flying over the Llano River bridge right here in town, about 5 PM yesterday,,,It was following the river, and i had just read about them in an article in the Statesman, and asked to let him know if any one saw one. I emailed him and told him. (Mike Leggett)

Gonna Get Cold
Somewhere back about a week ago, we musta had a little frost, cause the leaves are finally falling. The front due in any minute will finish them off the next few days. Hey,,no more mowing til Jan...hahahaha,,,
My internet is slow, and has been doing this a couple of weeks. I can reset the router and make it ok, but,,,guess i'm gonna have to call, much as i hate that thot. Where the lines show it,,it's just one line off, but, that makes it slow.
J told me a couple of weeks ago that he wanted some pecans and did i know where he could get any. I had seen signs but didn't remember where. WELL!! Just across the road and down about a block from him,,,there is a big sign,,PECANS....hahahahaha,,,It's just before the city park, and i remember when that pecan orchard was planted there. And yep, they had shelled pecans. We went by and i whipped back around and he got a pound. $8. He's gonna make pies, and said he had won the award for pies, 4 years in a row...He makes those little, what? 4" ones? Little ones anyway. I think our squirrel population had doubled in the park this year,, so much for them to eat.
I just read Gypsy's blog today, and i had totally missed it about her being in the hospital. Glad she is home now. That pneumonia is a BAD thing to have. I was never the same after my bad bout of it, almost 5 years ago, but one thing good, was, i never had another cigarette.
Hey just got dark, maybe we will get a little rain. And that south wind just went still, think that front is right at my front door. lol. Don't know if it will hit like a blast or kinda sneak in...
There was a new food trailer set up last week end and i was giving my signal for Sonic, and went by it, saw the sign, pulled pork,,and just went right on thru that Sonic drive way, back to the pulled pork,,,,Gosh, love that stuff. And of course i want slaw on it! WELL, got my appetite back up for another one, went back and it's GONE! Well, it was back yesterday, so about 5;30 here i went again,,,mouth watering, and $%*%*&*_)&^(*%&,,,,,it was closed!!! This is before dark, when the hunters would have been in hunting food. So now, i'm lost. Heck, maybe he ran out early or something,,,
Just had my waffles and here i'm thinking about that pulled pork bun! Think i'm gonna go check it out... so yall tc, and

Hooray for BB!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Great to know he's still around,,huh? AND ,,,catching some fish,,,if we can believe that. All well and good, but, there have been a few of us that never returned,,,and it could happen you know.
Windy, kinda hot today. When it gets this way i'm always glad for a good front to show up, like will be here Sunday nite. We finally got down low enough for some leaves to start falling. And it will finish them about on Mon. nite.
We've been going out to the park, and J has discovered how enjoyable those geese are. He has lived here all his life, and had never done that. He had even told me that that bread wasn't good for them,,now it's,, Mom, do you have anything to feed the geese? lololol. It's just peaceful out there and the other birds are showing back up. Big ducks,little ducks,,white cranes, blue cranes,,,etc.
My neighbor did move out last week. A big truck even showed up a few days ago and loaded his storage room on and took it away. This morning, someone was walking around taking pics and J asked them what they were doing. It was someone from his mortgage company. We just told them they had left about 2 weeks ago, that's all.
I got this huge flower arrangement this morning. My birthday is tomorrow, which i keep forgetting. Now i can remember while i'm smelling these. Something smells good.
