Summer is Here in Texas!

Well, the high here today was 95°, with a 97 forecast  for tomorrow. And then it’s 8 straight days of 99° or above.

More likely ‘above’, knowing Texas in the summertime.

One thing I’ve noticed here at the Colorado River TT this weekend is that it’s not nearly as full as I expected for a long holiday weekend. Of course I haven’t checked down along the river, but up here at the top of the hill, it’s not near as busy as I’ve seen it on a normal weekend during the last couple of months.

Of course, since we’re usually not here during this part of the summer, I don’t know what’s actually normal for now anyway.

Now that website stuff had slowed down due to the holiday weekend, I got back to posting the latest entry under Greg’s Favorite Apps.

This one is Internet Utilities, a compilation of my favorite online apps. I’ll try to get back to posting a new group every few days or so.

After yesterday’s post about the new The Momentum Machines Autonomous Grill Master that makes 400 burgers an hour, blog reader Richard Schell wondered if I thought this might be a solution to all my problems with our orders at the Whataburger up in Carthage while we were gate guarding last year.

I said it certainly came to mind especially since we’ve had mistakes at both the Whataburger in Columbus and La Grange. At some point you might begin to think that the common factor here might be us.

But when we’re in Conroe we eat at Culver’s a lot, and they’ve never messed up our order. Not once. So it’s not us.

Landon and his family  are up in OK spending the holiday weekend with Lowell’s parents, so Landon’s getting his fill of ‘Granny’ time, his name for Lowell’s mother. (Jan’s ‘Landon name’ is ‘Nana’)

So today Landon and Granny got to spend some time together at Chuck E. Cheese.

Looks like fun.


Thought for the Day:

Last year, sixteen people were killed by ostriches – twice the number killed by sharks. Maybe the Discovery Channel should be running Ostrich Week right now instead.
