Walked the dog this morning. It was pretty brisk out, but not really cold. AN early morning walk is a great way to start the day instead of sitting in an office. Most people are still asleep or just puttering about inside. On my way back some signs of life. Judging by their dress you would think it was arctic cold weather, but then this is Texas and anything below 80 is considered cold by most folks.

Talking of Texas, it seems to me that driving here is an intellectual challenge to many folks. To make it worse, when they see a sheriff or patrol car they complete loose all semblance of being able to drive and start doing the strangest things. Very odd that is. The motto here is drive for yourself and everybody around you, since they probably have no idea what they are doing or where they are going.
