Walking at Cypress Canyon Park

Dee Jones and I went walking there this morning, just a tiny little park but lots of trees and one main path that is a loop. We walked out and into the subdivision, she is nice, quite fun. She walked home and I needed to walk another mile so I continued. I made the big loop around the subdivision again and then into the trees and saw a grandmother swinging a child in one of the swings for babies with holes for their legs. I stopped and used the exc equipment, then walked on around to her - it was a dog she was swinging. She said the dog loves it. I would have asked to take a pic but that sounded creepy so I didn't. So cute.

Last night Rick and I drove the bug out to look for Dee's house plus the park and some other walking places. The sun was going down, it was coolish with the top down and quite nice. I'm always amazed at the amount of attention that car gets. Two groups of boys told us the car was cool. Some older men stared. It is a fun little car.

Two nights ago we drove the scooter around. Another group of young teen boys asked us how much it cost, and one of them liked how many girls he would be able to get if it was his. One group was playing football in the street and Rick said I'll go long and you throw it. That got them all excited.

Just fun.

Run on gas caused by panic

San Antonio, Austin, and Dallas are experiencing a run on gas caused by social media and panic. Many, many stations are out but thro Rick's good maneuvering, we just filled up his truck. I have a little over 1/2 tank.

It does change our weekend plans - we were going to drive to Dripping Springs and out to the Hill Country Olive to have lunch and view the trees. That's where I buy my olive oil, a booth at the Farmer's Market.

We have plenty of gas now but I just don't want to waste it.
