For now we got clear skies all around and no rain... We have had many drownings in many cities in Texas especially Houston... There are many waterways all over Texas and many of the people just don't pay attention and still try to drive through the water and get swept away down stream... Many of the deaths and drownings came from the people trying to force the issue of crossing low and high water crossings instead of turning around and don't drown...

Maybe I'll get to go outside for a change later this week... My back yard is full of tall grass and the yard man says he will get it cut down today and haul it away.... Then I can go out back and inspect for ant nest and piles of ant trying to make new homes in my yard... Ants are really smart but I try to stay one step ahead of them using the best in ant repellent to their new homes... So far I been winning the battle on where they choose to live...

I can't let the little dog get off my scooter because she doesn't know about the ant and their nest along the sidewalks... I leave her in the garage when I sprinkle the ant powder on the nests... I imagine it will take a few more dusting's to kill all the piles in my yard front back and sides...

This area was grazing land for cattle before it was sold to create a sub division for new home building some 15 years ago... More and more soldiers are retiring in this area after their tours in Afghanistan and Iraq are completed... Many more of them stayed here after their tours in Vietnam back in the 70's... I think my grand son and his family will return here once he is ready to leave Japan... We have all the shopping, schools and military hospitals and facilities retirees need to stretch their dollars...

This is the largest military base in the US....
