rain chase
Got a weeks worth of rain chances coming up. Grabbed a load of alfalfa for the boys today. Alpine got swamped just as I headed back south. 90,106,74,0,B
John, my family visited you a couple years ago. The border agents stopped us--do they now just leave you alone, or do you still get stopped? (By the way, thanks for your hospitality:)
Ron K....They stop everyone exiting the Big Bend Area at a permanent checkpoint, but only rarely stop randomly. We have a home there and visit several times each year.
Nice photo from the hill.

ReplyDeleteNice picture.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the heads up as this post lead me to check my own weather and we have a 40 percent chance of rain.
Off to roll up the car windows.
Beeuuteeful pic. Where is this paradise-near the lovely south side(?) of Alpine.
ReplyDeleteBy the way, raccoons could carry rabbis. Living out there, it might be good to be immunized.
ReplyDeleteOrthodox rabbis or reform?
ReplyDeleteHope the rain falls where you can use it.
ReplyDeleteSomeone needs spellchecker, but it was hilarious just the same.
