The weather on Thursday, the 7th made it up to 87 degrees in the South Texas town of Alamo and then a cold front made its way down here.
Yup, they start out in the arctic regions and make it all the way down to the fat part of the globe. And what is even more amazing is the fact the cold air can still pack a wallop. So at 6:00pm on Thursday evening, it was a hot and humid 87 degrees and 6:00AM Friday morning it was 49 degrees. And it never got any warmer. Then at 6:00AM on Saturday morning it was 39 degrees! And it never exceeded 44 degrees all day! Oh yes, add a drizzly all day rain to the mix too.
This business plays absolute havoc with my sinuses. Thus my hermit status.
This morning a trip to the grocery store was absolutely necessary. I returned home with groceries and a rip-roaring pounding headache.
I certainly hope this surgical procedure helps this condition.
Enough of my troubles.
We invited Dave and Liz to go with us to Gonzales Burgers for lunch. We usually make at least one stop there each season. Located on Silver Ave in Donna Texas the Gonzales family makes up a given number of pounds of hamburger each day. One burger is more than enough to feed two people. Their fries are very crispy and their onion rings are big and the very best an onion ring can be. You must go to the counter to order your burger because they do not start grilling your burger until you order it. They open at 10:45AM Tuesday through Saturday. They stay open until they run out of hamburger or 3:00 PM whichever comes first. We had a great tasty burger and it is more than enough food to last for all day.
Butch and I played in the mixed doubles pool today. They play every Sunday but this Sunday was a smaller crowd. It is a great way to meet and make friends. Elmer and I had a good time despite the fact we were on the lower part of the leader board. Butch played with Rainy and that is indeed her given name and they too had a great time.
One of my trivia people, Frank, asked me to look up "putting English on the ball" and where the phrase comes from. And this is what I found:
Where does the term putting English on the ball come from?
