I think Fall has finally arrived. It was 35 at 11 p.m. tonight. Oh, joy! I am glad to finally see some cold weather and a frost. That should finally take care of the pollen and the bugs. The bad news of the cold front was that it spawned a tornado in the neighboring town of Kimball, with a great deal of property damage and displacement of families. The good news is that there were no fatalities. And we finally got a good rain.
Today was pretty much back to normal. I had a long list of errands - some done and some not. It took about 10 minutes to get my car inspected, and the license plate renewal has been done on-line. (Aren't computers wonderful?!?!) Wal-Mart was next - always a thrill! I went to the Verizon store to see about getting a new phone, and they suggested that I do it on-line. It would be cheaper and I'd have more choices. I've looked at the site, and promptly went into overload - there were way too many choices. How to choose. Sigh....
We had our usual Thursday lunch with our strangely creative friends - or is that our creative strange friends. No matter, we always have a lot of laughs and good fun. Photo Society was tonight, and it was good to see our friends from that area. The program was excellent. People can be creative in so many different ways.

Note from Houston: While driving through the Texas Medical Center, I saw a sign on a building that said "Texas Children's Maternity Hospital". WHAT???? We would not come with an plausible explanation. I finally remembered today to look at the web site to find out. Here's what it says:
The new Texas Children's Maternity Center will provide the finest prenatal, obstetric and related services to women and perinatal care for their babies in a new state-of-the-art facility slated to open in 2010.
Once fully operational, Texas Children's Maternity Center will care for both normal and high-risk deliveries. Pediatric intensive care units in the new center will provide seamless care of mother and newborn. Care of mothers and infants requiring a pediatric specialist can then be coordinated under the auspices of one institution—Texas Children's Hospital.
Now I understand. But I still think it's a very unfortunate choice of names. What do you think?
