Warm Sunday in Rio Grande Valley

 Cooled down to 74 degrees now at 5:15 pm on Sunday - was 79 degrees a couple hours ago with very strong winds -- Harlingen reported 41 mph gusts on TV weather news.  All windows in the house open for a good, warm airing.

Got our 2nd Covid-19 Vaccination this morning at Los Fresnos, TX at the Fire Station there located on the Rodeo Grounds.




We set in line with around 2,000 other vehicles from 6:30 am until got our shots about 10:25 am.











Saturday decided to go out to get a hamburger at noon.  Stopped at Burger King across the street -- closed.  Stopped at Whataberger across the interstate -- closed.  Stopped at Churches Chicken -- closed.  Finally sat in drive-up line 25 minutes at a McDonalds to pick up the sandwiches.  All the restaurants had to clean out all their perishable food items and clean up and re-stock.  On our way back from Los Fresnos we stopped at Walmart in Harlingen.  Got some things, but no milk and no milk at local El Centro -- they said hoped to get restocked Monday.

Did stop at Panda Express in Harlingen to pick up our favorite Chinese food to bring home for lunch.

Back to short pants this afternoon and got 5 miles on the recumbent trike.  With the hard wind blowing, think got more exercise than a normal 5 miles.

GROANER'S CORNER:((  A sixth grade class is doing some spelling drills. The teacher asks Tommy if he can spell 'before.' He stands up and says, "Before, B-E-P-H-O-R."  The teacher says, "No, that's wrong. Can anyone else spell before?"  Another little boy stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-O-R."  Again the teacher says, "No, that's wrong." The teacher asks, "Little Johnny, can you spell 'before'?"  Little Johnny stands up and says, "Before, B-E-F-O-R-E."  "Excellent Johnny, now can you use it in a sentence?"  Little Johnny says, "That's easy. Two plus two be fore."

Church sign: “Jesus Saves!” Safeway sign across the street: “Safeway saves you more!”

Hired a handy man and gave him a list. When I got home, only items #1, 3, & 5 were done  Turns out, he only does odd jobs.
