January 17th

71º with heavy overcast skies in La Feria, TX at 11:30 am on Sunday.

Here are photos of some of the reasons we come south in the winter:

Been a lot of burning of the sugar cane fields lately and here are some of the droppings from those fires.

Here is one of the burns.

Suppose that spare will do any good?

Rain clouds a few moments ago.  Sprinkled some
so we came in.  Got 5 miles done, 5 to go.

Neighbor got insurance adjuster to pay for new roof account

of hurricane that went through this last summer - 20 year old

roof and was paid in full!

They got these buildings covered last weekend, but
still no shingles or siding.

Quite a few trailers, 5th-wheels, and motorhomes in the park since the first of January. I did another video of the couple streets the units are on -- for those of you that are familiar with the park -- here is the LINK   I am still doing about 10 miles a day on the trike. Our only activity is going to grocery store every 10 days or so.

Just found out this morning that Don Foote passed away in the hospital in Harlingen last evening.  He had been in the hospital for last week or so.
