Volume 18 - Day 251/114, 2026 - Tuesday

The photo accompanying this post was taken 16 years ago today, when Jody and I were living at the farm. Full tank. The day before this photo was taken, there was not a drop of water in that tank, which just goes to prove that one good rain can make a lot of good things happen in central Texas. Paul and I walked this morning, and Rick and I had a ROMEO breakfast. After breakfast, I stopped at Galaxy Bakery. I got two scones for me and one scone for Paulina. I had a couple errands to take care of in Austin, so that was my next stop, and after getting back to the Curious House, I made a trip to the bank. Nothing unusual about my day. I bought something I saw on Facebook and it was delivered today. Now, I feel like a total idiot for spending the money, I will return the item and work on a refund to the credit card. It looks so good on Facebook, too. Ugh. I have an appointment at the cardiologist tomorrow morning, and tomorrow night I am going to Walburg for dinner, and I am looking forward to that. Every day in the seven day forecast predicts a temperature at or above 100 degrees. I am getting more and more weary of the hot temperatures. The average last day for 100 degree temperatures in central Texas is the 18th day of August. DUH!
