Today's Texas Adventure

In 1854, Lyman Wight and a small group of Mormons settled in a bend of the Medina River roughly on the Castroville/Bandera road. They were they for just four years before moving on.

They must have made an impression because many of my old maps and newspaper articles mention the "Old Mormon Camp." There wasn't anything left of the camp when Medina Lake inundated it nearly 60 years later

With Medina Lake nearly empty because of the drought, Dad wanted to see the town site. I did warn him there was nothing left of the town, and that even looking at the town site may not be possible because it can't be seen from the road, but we went anyway. What we did catch glimpse of were the Mormon Bluffs, which were directly above the town site.

Either a graphic designer thought this was a good idea, or was forced to use it by the client.

Twenty eight years ago, when this was a small dirt county road in the middle of the woods, I committed to my transition.

There are still a few clues that this was the place. And I felt it was important I come here before it completely disappeared.

Oddly, one of the things I miss from home is the military flights flying overhead every few hours.

"Your pronouns should contain a minimum of 1 numeric character and a minimum of 1 special character."

I keep forgetting that the time zone on my laptop is still set for Pacific Time and that's it's much later than I think it is here in Texas.

I didn't do much today, but what I did was OOMPH. Exhausted, but my OOMPH day isn't over yet.

I've missed the sounds of cicadas and grackles.

Today's Texas Food: Bill Miller's BBQ.

Only in Texas can you get fast food BBQ.

Also, before you Texans complain about the quality of Bill Miller's, "the worst BBQ in Texas is better than the best BBQ in Seattle."

Guh.

Any one of my shortwave friends know if this was the shortwave time signal that ended? Or just the AM/FM broadcast that ended?

Today's Texas Adventure

A nice quiet evening with Umber followed by visiting some old childhood haunts. Really miss home. Wish things were different and could move back.

I originally was gong to post this because the juxtaposition of an Austin School in San Antonio, the "We taught a burrito to drive, people are easy" is WAY funnier.
