Yes, it’s true. We are beginning the pre-game season. I thought I would put together a list that will hopefully lead to a more enjoyable season for all. (Notice I labeled it American football in deference to the name the rest of the world calls soccer) Top Ten Things Not to Do at the […]

Views of the Neighborhood – Community Spirit – A Repost on the Second Anniversary of Hurricane Harvey.
Since this is the second anniversary of Hurricane Harvey which devastated Port Aransas, I thought I would repeat a post that ran after the hurricane showing the community spirit there.

Stream of Consciousness Saturday – Prompt – Preposition
With the advent of Saturday, we can guess that this is Stream of Consciousness Saturday on this blog. This weeks prompt is the preposition.

Friday JohnKu – AKA – TGIF
It is Friday again. This week has been more of the old heatwave. It has been 103 degrees for the last nine days. That kind of heat wears one out. We are expecting at least another two weeks of above 100 degrees. We can complain as much as we want, but it won’t help. […]

In fact, he thinks Christine’s days are […]

Views of the Neighborhood – Driveways
I know it seems a little odd to feature driveways on Views of the Neighborhood. I just found that some of them are so steep up or down that I couldn’t help myself in taking pictures of them. They may interest you as well. Here is one that drops about thirty feet and then you have […]
