Pull Tight

Attached is the list of proposed Post Office closings in Texas.  Paluxy is included on the list.  I have very fond memories of the Post Office as a child when Aunt Bess was the Post Mistress and Telephone Operator (only employee of both).  Aunt Bess must have been an expert about our community and residents.  I can only imagine the things she must have seen and heard.  Read more here if you like  http://pulltight.blogspot.com/2006/02/play-ball.html The close may be inevitable.  By my recollection the Post Office served as few as 11 families at one time.  But, it will still bring a sense of melancholy to a few of us when it finally closes its doors for the last time.  Perhaps we need to consider Pulling Tight once more to keep our Post Office.

Madagascar palm sprouted from seed. Will be posting again in 20 years as a palm tree.

The smell of freshly ground ginger root while making BBQ sauce and the smell of rain on a hot dry summer day are my favorites.  A brief rain while BBQing yesterday brought these two into close proximity. Also for the record, you can't open a beer with an electric can opener, even when when sober.  If you haven't had drunken chicken, it is worth a try.  The addition of crab boil to the beer makes it even better.
