Both these trips deserve blogging but I fear I won't have time

Just so you guys know:

1. I went to Schulenburg Thursday night and got to see Wayne and Katina Dugger, at whose wedding long ago I was best man, but whom I lost touch with probably fifteen years or more back. Had a great time. Completely forgot to take pictures, other than this picture of an establishment that is my kind of place:


Nice work on the pun there, dude.

2. Went down to South Padre with Anya and Roma and Kinya, and while it wasn't a good idea for Roma to gamble by leaving the country, I went ahead and got up early this morning to run across the border because (a) I was curious about a particular beach south of Padre and (b) I needed a hat to work in the garden under.

Liked the beach:




Found an acceptable hat:



Further details pending...depending on whether I can make time to post them.
