Another ohum couple days

80º with heavy overcast at 11:20 am on Friday April 17, 2020.  20% chance of rain today.

Did leave the park yesterday to pick up a med prescription for me at Walgreens in downtown Harlingen.  Then went to Sam's Club to get groceries, but found a line of people waiting outside the building that was about a block long, so went to our neighborhood store El Central here in La Feria.  Wearing face masks and latex gloves, we did shopping for us and a neighbor.  Store was not crowded, seemed as many employees stocking shelves as shoppers.  Wasn't able to find Kleenex, so stopped at CVS store which is only couple blocks away and Phyllis was able to get some for her and the neighbor.

One neighbor had her car cleaned and waxed.




























Not a lot going on.  Rode trike 20 miles each day for 3 days, but yesterday only 13.5.  Pooped last evening so didn't go out after dark to finish it.  Had about 8 miles by 11 this morning and am working in Texas Room.















KMA Radio at Shenandoah reported 8" of snow in Clarinda this morning.  There were a lot of pictures on Facebook from the Clarinda area of the snow.  These two were from our neighbors Carol & Bob Brown.




GROANER'S CORNER:(( Lost on a rainy night, a nun stumbles across a monastery and requests shelter there. Fortunately, she's just in time for dinner and was treated to the best fish and chips she's ever had. After dinner, she goes into the kitchen to thank the chefs. She is met by two brothers, "Hello, I'm Brother Michael, and this is Brother Charles." "I'm very pleased to meet you. I just wanted to thank you for a wonderful dinner. The fish and chips were the best I've ever tasted. Out of curiosity, who cooked what?" Brother Charles replied, "Well, I'm the fish friar." She turns the other brother and says, "Then you must be...?" "Yes, I'm the chip monk." ----------------------------  

What do you call a belt made out of hundred dollar bills? A waist of money. ----------------------------  
While driving in Pennsylvania, a family caught up to an Amish carriage.  The owner of the carriage obviously had a sense of humor because attached to the back of the carriage was a hand-painted sign that read, "Energy efficient vehicle. Runs on oats and grass. CAUTION: Do not step on exhaust."
