Normally I'm OK with cold weather but yesterday was odd. Had a hard time staying warm ith that cold light breeze blowing.

I'm surprised by your post and Brandi's. I was so warm yesterday that I was sweating. We even opened a bedroom window last night because it only got down to the mid-50s overnight. I suppose my gardening may have got me warmed up. I was actually sweating enough that I had to clean my glasses a couple of times from sweat running off my forehead. After doing my garden, I hauled topsoil for awhile and was still very warm on my tractor even though I wasn't as active as before. I only had on a long-sleeve t-shirt, no jacket.

I'd love to go to San Antonio and see Travis's Letter, but probably won't make it. I sure wish they had extended that showing through spring break. There are lots of people like me who would take children and grandchildren to see that document and experience some real Texas history.

Just got back from a brush fire. We had 11 trucks from 3 VFDs and the Texas Forest Service sent a bulldozer over to cut a fire line.

Don, when you are out fighting a large fire, do you ever see wildlife (deer, turkey, raccoons, possums, skunks, and armadillos) on the move, trying to escape the fire? What about snakes in the summer? My guess is coming upon a copperhead or rattler with attitude is not any fun. Perhaps, snakes den up or find holes to escape the fires. I'm just curious as to what kind of critters you see on the move.

Went out to burn trash this a.m.....threw it in the barrel...and went ...nope...it"ll wait. The wind was just too much. Amazing to me how anybody could start an "innocent" fire in these conditions. morons.

I had a metal screen I used on my barrel, but I'd still wait until later if it was as windy as what we're having lately

I just got back from driving by the fire area and saw no smoke, YEA! Jim I just saw a mis-placed rabbit running around yesterday. The area around here is pretty well hunted. I hear about a thousand rounds a month, and that does not include the heavy artillery from Camp Swift on the weekends.
