Jim drained the four five-gallon water blobs this afternoon. We went to Target and he bought the rope, which we’ll add to the hurricane kit. I found the four strong clips on the dollar aisle ($1 for all four) and I prefer them to purchasing clothespins. I’ll move these to the kitchen when the blobs are fully dry and use them to seal potato chip or tortilla strip bags.
We certainly had enough food for the hurricane that wasn’t, 23 gallons of water and 60# of ice. The freezer is still filled with ice bags so I only had room for one bag of frozen raw dog food.
Blobs Drying

The days when Catholics go on a pilgramage to venerate the Virgin Mary. Yet a Houston bus with no license to drive out of state and illegal retread tires crashed and killed 15 Houstonians en route to Marian Days.
They crashed in Sherman TX where there are hospital facilities and kind people to attend to the living, but 15 of 55 have already died.
Jim’s folks live about an hour from there and the people are nice but don’t necessarily speak Vietnamese. Hopefully there are interpreters on site.

These are the two Houston churches the parishioners who died or were injured, came from.
Our thoughts and prayers are with them in this difficult time.

If this doesn’t make anyone want to participate, what will?
In what year would you place El Paso? What would they have served for dinner? Recipe?
It’s easy. I’m not asking you to write poetry.
Check out this utube clip. It’s the classic Marty Robbins song with Steve Martin.
