Almond Blossoms . . .
Well, it’s not the thermostat. I pulled the cover off this morning and shorted across the common and the Y (Yellow) terminal and got Zip, Zero, Nada. So this weekend I’ll tear into the overhead unit to see what’s what.
Luckily the temps are pretty much staying in the 60’s for now.
About 1pm Jan and I headed up to Webster to have lunch at Twin Peaks once again. Jan decided to try something new this time, getting their Spicy Chipotle Chicken, with grilled broccoli and green beans.
She gave me a bite of the chicken and it was really good.
I combine two of my favorites, their Wedge Salad, and their Venison Chili, with their Lunch Soup and Salad Combo.
This is their Half Wedge with a bowl of the Bambi Chili. Really, really good.
Recently Twin Peaks has been a Place XXXX to find interesting vehicles on the parking lot. Last time we were here we came across this Shelby Cobra replica.
Then today when we came out we found this beautiful Z28 Camaro parked right next to us.
What’s really kind of sad is that this Camaro has an ‘Antique Auto’ tag. Back in my day those tags were reserved for Model T’s and the like. Though I guess this Z28 being 50+ years old, I guess it probably does qualify.
Then it was on up to Sam’s for some of Jan’s Joint Juice before a stop at our storage room to drop off a few things. Then our last stop was at Cowboy Coffee for a couple of Cold Blended Sugar-Free Hazelnut coffees with Almond Milk.
Then getting home, we sat out on the patio and listened to the wind chimes for a while.
A very nice day.
When Jan and I were in Paris back in May 2019 we attended the Van Gogh Illuminare Exhibit while we were there.
Imagine being inside Van Gogh’s paintings, as they paint themselves around you. They come to life in 3D, as they move around you.
Well, that experience is coming to the U.S, and to Houston in particular. And we’ve got tickets for the 2pm showing on Sunday, November 21st for Jan and I, Brandi, Lowell, Landon, and a Landon friend to be named later.
Check out this video.
And this is a video clip that I took in Paris.
Beside Starry Night, I think Almond Blossoms is my next favorite.
I even have it as the cover for my Samsung Tab 4 tablet.
You can find out more about the local Houston show, Van Gogh – The Immersive Experience here.
And there are shows scheduled for other cities around the country.
Thought For The Day:
“In that simple statement is the key to science. It doesn’t make any difference how beautiful your guess is, it doesn’t matter how smart you are who made the guess, or what his name is… If it disagrees with experiment, it’s wrong. That’s all there is to it.” Richard Feynman
