87º here in La Feria, TX with a "feel like" of 97º at 1:30 pm Saturday
About one week ago right now we pulled our trailer in to Kenwood and began unloading it and the pickup and opening up the house for our winter stay. I think we got a lot done in that week. Phyllis started some tooth work that will continue this next week or maybe two; got everything from the trailer and it parked and set for the winter - just need to wash and wax it; stocked the place with what food we hadn't brought from home; got the various plants trimmed around the house and the outside washed down as well as started the painting of the outside steps. Need to wait 72 hours before we walk on the first half so I can go ahead and paint the other half.

| Train Wreck? |
We went across Interstate 2 from Kenwood RV to the Whataburger for breakfast. Their biscuits & gravy are great and I had a side of scrambled eggs to put on top. Phyllis wanted to know if it was named a "Train Wreck" -- Darrell will know what she is referring to.

Check this out - Grand Canyon This Weblog by a full-timer brings back memories of the visits we made there!
Went to Donwes Flea Market - lot of booths not set up yet. Our veggie man Joe was not at his booth so got some things across street to the south from the only guy who was set up there. Said it was the first day of the season for him. Expect November 1st will make a difference in people coming south and for the vendors to be set up.

| Finished this 822 page book - most interesting, describing not only his years before the Civil War, but the various facts unknown (to me) unorganized government he ran and the fact that he didn't give up for many weeks after Appomattox Court House surrender by Lee. |

| Just started this 308 page book on Lee following the Civil War. |
Retired Person's Perspective
1. I'm not saying let's go kill all the stupid people. I'm just saying let's remove all the warning labels and let the problem work itself out.
2. I changed my car horn to gunshot sounds. People move out of the way much faster now.
3. You can tell a lot about a woman's mood just by her hands. If they are holding a gun, she's probably very unhappy.
4. You know that tingly little feeling you get when you really like someone you've just met? That's common sense leaving your body.
5. I don't like making plans for the day. Because then the word "premeditated" gets thrown around in the courtroom.
6. I didn't make it to the gym today. That makes 1,500 days in a row.
7. I decided to change calling the bathroom the John and renamed it the Jim. I feel so much better saying I went to the Jim this morning.
8. Dear paranoid people who check behind shower curtains for murderers: If you find one, what's your plan?
9. Everyone has a right to be stupid. Politicians just abuse the privilege.
Old age is not as bad as I thought. It's a good feeling when you just don't give a hoot anymore and you feel happy just to wake up in the morning.
GROANER'S CORNER:(( Two brooms were hanging in the closet, and after they got to know each other a bit, decided to get married. The bride broom looked very beautiful in her white dress. The groom broom was handsome and suave in his tuxedo. The wedding was lovely and attended by all the push brooms and dust mops. After the wedding, at the wedding dinner, the bride broom leaned over and whispered to the groom broom, "We're soon going to have a little whisk broom!" "Impossible!" said the groom broom, indignantly. "We haven't even swept together yet!!!"

A
witness was called to the stand to testify about a head-on automobile
collision. "Whose fault was this accident?" the lawyer
asked. "As near as I could tell," replied the witness,
"they hit each other at about the same time."
------------------------------------------
"Oh
God," sighed the wife one morning, "I'm convinced my mind is almost
completely gone!" Her husband looked up from the newspaper and
commented, "I'm not surprised: You've been giving me a piece of it every
day for twenty years!"
Be well, Do good things, and keep in touch, Lynn
