19/02: The Rain has Finally Stopped
Category: General
Posted by: The Agnew Family
No rain for the past two days and no rain in the forecast. Yeah!!!! maybe the ground will finally dry out. This is the greenest I've seen south Texas and I asked someone who has been coming here for at least 20 years and they said the same thing. Unfortunately, the rain and green has produced a bumper crop of mosquitoes, gnats and lawn mowing. Not enough rain to end the drought but maybe the rain can wait a couple of weeks before it comes again.
Two months and five days with a nice clear windshield. Saturday as we drove back from Don West flea market a pickup truck threw a stone into the air and into our windshield creating a small crater. Tomorrow the truck will get to visit the glass place for a repair. Happy that the entire windshield doesn't need to be replaced.
Saturday afternoon a loud crash brought a lot of people out of their trailers and down toward the entrance to the RV park. We were all saddened to see the remains of an accident. A fellow from our park was riding his four wheeler and was attempting to cross the highway when he was clipped by a car. The man and seat from the four wheeler flew into the air as the four-wheeler flipped and slid down the road in thankfully another direction. The car also flipped crushing the roof and ending up a few hundred yards down the road on it's wheels facing the direction opposite to what it was traveling. The police closed the highway and spent a couple of hours studying the scene. The good news is everyone is currently OK. The fellow from the four-wheeler is currently in the hospital in intensive care with a broken rib, punctured lung and bleeding in both the lung area and the brain. He's being watched carefully, in case surgery is required. The doctors are optimistic that the bleeding will cease on it's own and he'll be fine. The three women in the car were shaken and received non-life threatening injuries.
The fellow, his wife and dog live two trailers away from us. As Zaph and Bullet (the dog) get along we've been helping out by walking Bullet and letting him hang out with Zaph.
Sunday was the birthday party for LaVerna who will turn 100 on June 4 of this year. We were given a number of old photos of LaVerna and asked to do a slide show. As usual Ed did a marvelous job and received a lot of compliments. The party was a great success .... several people sang, the video was shown, cake, ice cream and punch were served.
