Same Ol' Buzzard
Good Morning All. Cloudy and 50° to begin our 2-day cold spell. Only 65° for the high today, a return to the 80's by the weekend.
Another uneventful day here yesterday. My grandson #1 flew to Rome Italy yesterday to start a summer semester at some university there. My wife has been tracking him with some app on her phone, I think that it is Life360 or something like that. The whole immediate family has it and she's constantly spying on their locations. I made her remove it from my phone after she installed it a couple of years ago. Not that I go anywhere that she doesn't already know about, but it's my principles regarding "big brother". Really doesn't always matter since I don't always carry the phone with me anyway!
Not sure what today will bring yet. It's starting off well in a passive manner. My stock holdings in AMD have gone up $55 per share since yesterday, so I have made a five figure gain in one day. Wish that I had bought more shares when I had the chance 18 months ago. While today's gain is just 15%, in 18 months it has made a 200% gain for me. Since I am a buy and hold person rather than a trader, we'll see where it goes.
Out in the train shed yesterday, I just piddled about and also ran some trains. I did the fence for that home by the ground throw, a low one so I would still have easy access to the throw.
Added a dog to the backyard of the left-most home.
The cat in the next picture was actually added the day before, but the picture didn't work.
Now to search out a couple more residents and fill the church parking lot with vehicles.
Chad - You're correct about Cinco de Mayo just being celebrated by a single state in Mexico. An good analogy could be San Jacinto Day celebrated here in Texas, but unknown in the rest of the states.
Kevin - Thanks for your input regarding the church scene.
Mikey - Good luck to your son on getting his paper published.
Karl -
Snowman - I believe that you are correct in identifying that girl in the Beach Boys video as Reese Witherspoon. The photo was from a later movie and was not actually from the 60's.
Tom O - Grace Slick's vocal on White Rabbit is a masterpiece that still blows me away today, 60 years later.
Rocker Bob Segar is 81 today.
Everybody have a wonderful Wednesday.

He was referring to my post earlier about his visit to Southlake TX, which is a rather upscale town between Ft Worth and me. Median income in that city is over $250K.
