Cartoons and Artwork . . .
We didn’t do much today. Just hunkered down and hoped we wouldn’t blow away.
Due to the cold front coming through, yesterday’s high was 74, today’s was 58, we had high winds most of the day. At one point, the Weather Channel said the wind was blowing at 25 mph, with gusts to 40. Talk about Rock N Roll. And it’s supposed to go down to the mid-30’s tonight.
Our friend Gina posted this cartoon on Facebook that tells the story about Weather in Texas.

Worked on a few projects, mostly today. Printed out 1200 address labels for a client, and decided that I want to redo the tie-downs for the strings at the bottom of the Day/Night Shades. This is because this is where at least two of my shade’s strings were broken. It looks like that over time the strings are rubbed in two.
But the good news is that it looks like I may not have to completely restring the last two shades because the strings just broke at the tie-downs. I’ll fool with it tomorrow.
The new Denso 26” wiper blades I ordered Monday from Amazon came in at Brandi’s today, so I’ll pick them up tomorrow and get them installed. I’ll probably use Rain-X wipers on the toad again. Those, along with using Rain-X Wiper Fluid, seem to do a good job of keeping the windshield clean and non-squeaky.
My very talented great-niece Stahlie posted some of her recent artwork today.
Although it looks like it might be done in oils, it’s actually done on the computer using Autodesk Sketchbook.
A commenter ask if it was done in watercolors. Stahlie said “No, she doesn’t do watercolors because they don’t have an “Undo” button.”
I like the way she thinks.
For dinner we finished off the homemade Chicken Vegetable Soup from a couple of days ago. Still very good.
Tomorrow night we’re getting together with Lillis and Dick Palmer again for dinner at King Food.
Then on Friday night, it’s probably our last visit to the Alvin Opry.
Busy, busy, busy!

Thought for the Day:
Some people are like Slinkies. Good for nothing, but they do make you smile when you push them down the stairs.
