Today is my birthday. Last night we went to the Lone Star Restaurant in Harlingen in celebration of my birthday and Dave and Marge Scott's 47th Wedding Anniversary. I had a 1/2 rack of back ribs and they were mighty tasty. Another good place for ribs is Jose's Cafecito in Weslaco. I finally got my Texas driver's liscense so I am now officially a Texan. I have a temporary one for 3-4 weeks before I have the permanent one with photo ID. That perplexed me a bit because in Iowa you get your laminated photo liscense right away. No wait. Is this just in Texas or has 9/11 changed that too? Oh well, it will catch up with me eventually. I guess I can wait.
