Thanks Mr. Mayor (honorary mayor of our lofts) for tix to this weekend’s BBQ championship at the Rodeo, which opens officially March 3rd.
Jim and I walked into town for the big parade then took a train to the Rodeo. We tried brisket, sausage, pork roast, chicken, spicy beans and cheesecake. And we met a guy who grew up a couple of miles from where Jim did. Now that’s unusual as there are more cows than people in those parts of TX! I think Jim’s entire high school graduating class consisted of thirty students. Mine, on the other hand, was more like 2.500, at least in one of my high schools.
We walked through the midway, and through the exhibit hall, which is still in the process of being set up. Then we took the train back to town and walked home. I missed Deputy Dog at the Parade, darn. We only missed about ten minutes of a two-hour extravaganza. We were beat when we got home. I laid down for a bit then prepared hamburgers and fries for dinner.
It’s supposed to go down to the thirties tonight, with 20 mph winds. Zoe’s tummy is messed up from Jim’s miscalculation in her breakfast yesterday morning (wrong food and three times the usual) so he has her out one last time before we turn in. Tomorrow we have a brunch catered by a downtown restaurant and hope to introduce our new neighbors to some of the old neighbors so they feel at home.
That’s about it for us. Hope y’all are having a great weekend. Cheers, Dee

Yet another garage break-in. The car right next to mine had it’s window broken and things stolen. A neighboring attorney is dealing with the police right now. Scary. I don’t usually park there but there were no spaces where I usually park. If we do stay here we may pay for a reserved space that won’t be as easy for thieves to break in. Dee
Now that I look at this I erred. My first HS had 2500 students (Freshman, Sophomore), and the second (Junior, Senior) had about 1250-1500. No-one in their right mind builds a high school for ten thousand teenagers! Dee
