Heading into June

Here we are in the month of June and I have been trying to keep up with this blog, but it seems as if I get complacent and think to myself that I will do it later and later never comes. However, today I am going to bring everything up to current events. At least that is what I hope to do.


The first of June we found rain. With all the road construction projects going on they are even working in the rain. Amazing, the construction workers aren't afraid of getting wet


I have no clue what those two guys are doing standing looking at a tree, but I hope they are working.

As you can see by the rain drops on the windshield, the rain is coming down pretty good. The moisture is welcome, but not a lot at once as it is doing in some places.

We were in Texas and as we were leaving a distribution center there was a pond of water and these birds were in the waterm, fishing for food. A friend tells me that this one is a Jimmy Durante Egret. I can see why it is called that, but the long beak. Jimmy Durante had one big nose, that is for sure. At least when the bird is searching for food it doesn't have to dunk it's head in the water, just it's beak.


Now when we were coming into a Wal-mart distribution center this sign caught my eye.


Now, what other color could a stop sign be in the United States? What if a person is color blind? Only in the South would a person find a sign such as this.


Now if you are having a bad morning or day you can call this business and place your order for something uplifting that would make you happy. No pun intended, of course.

When I saw this sign on the building I wondered if I traveled somewhere other than the United States, by what the sign said. Maybe Russia? Then again it could be the name of a person.
Peoples Telephone Coop. Or, could it be a chicken coop? Who knows.


As we came into Yantis, Texas the second hand store had an interesting name.

All Mixed Up and if you don't want to go into the store, you can go to the Catfish Classic. I assume that it is where you catch the biggest fist and win a prize.

I think it might be a nesting ground for them. There were many different birds and they all seemed to be getting along quite well. Maybe the human race could take a lesson from the birds.


One thing for sure that in Texas the fishermen take their fishing seriously. Here is a truck full of fishing gear heading for a store. I have never heard of this brand of fishing gear, but then again it has been years since I have been fishing.

On this note, it is time to call it a day. 
So, until the next time I will see you on the other side.
