Winter has arrived early to north Texas...but so far nothin but rain rain and more rain...we have already had the day's high though and temps are fallin, and snow to the west of here...my guess: It will be a non-event...

Ah yes...I knew it was to good to be true...we are gonna have a little winter this year...freeze is on the way... sometime in next few days...

From another adventure with Norm wandering around the countryside looking for interesting things to shoot...

No Kidding!

"Patchy areas of fog...some locally dense with visibilities below 1 mile along and east of Interstate 35...will continue through mid morning or 9 am CST. Take necessary precautions if traveling across the eastern half of North Texas this morning. If you do encounter any localized dense fog...always use low beams and allow extra time to reach your destination this Holiday weekend."

The view down the street towards the courthouse this AM...

As we go into this busy holiday season the guys in the little red house wish each and every one of you a Happy Thanksgiving! Enjoy time with families, but most importantly drink responsibly and drive safely...

Yesterday was a really nice day here, so Norm and I went on an adventure looking for cool things to shoot...did not find a lot, but some...

Hmmmm...Got film, got beer...looking for food...need sustenance....

Morning ritual: answer phone calls and check blog, drink coffee, smoke...

Somehow I do not think this is the whole story, but might be a good place to start...

Texas is a state steeped in rich traditions...and we take our way of life, our oil and our cattle seriously here...

Saturday nights = party time!

Art Exhibit “Los Dias de los Muertos - The Days of the Dead” at Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’Arte

Los Dias de los Muertos, the Days of the Dead, is a traditional Mexican holiday honoring the dead. It is not a sad time, but instead a time of remembering and rejoicing.

Celebrate this magical time as Carrie Garner’s Galleria d’ Arte welcomes back artist extraordinaire and gallery friend, Kim Lanus, with a gallery reception on Saturday,
November 11, 2006 from 7pm to 10pm.

Lanus has created a series of paintings that feature “Katrina,” her patron image of Los Dias de los Muertos. In addition to the “Katrina” series, Lanus will also debut several new paintings inspired by the famous Mexican painter, Frida Kahlo.

Lanus’ paintings are created on tin and wood in the old retablos and Italian style of painting. All pieces are sealed for longevity. Lanus’ collectors include former ABC anchorman, Sam Donaldson and President George W. Bush.

The gallery will be swaying to the sounds from salsa band, Watusi World Beat. Co-sponsors of the celebration are BLING!, Cadillac Pizza Pub, D’Vine Wine, Main Street McKinney, Market Street, Market Square Antiques, and Poppy’s Garden Café. Admission is free, so grab some friends and join this lively celebration of the arts and the community.
