WTH?

 Today is the first day of fall. Trees here have been loosing their leaves. Then why are the temps in the 90's with heat indices approaching 100? We can get that at home. Came north to escape the heat but guess we brought it with us. Winding down our stay here as we move to Henderson on Monday.


Demographic extremes


 You might wonder what I am alluding to with that statement.


 Back in the RGV it is 98% Hispanic. While shopping we look around and many times we are the only gringos. Had to go forage for groceries and that took us to Benton, closest town with a grocery of any size. While there I noticed a distinct lack of diversity in the shoppers. Came back and looked up the stats. 97%+ white, less than 1% black. Had I not witnessed it I would have argued that those numbers must be wrong. Not a well-to-do enclave, just typical middle class. Surprising...


 Unless something surprising or noteworthy happens, next posting from John Audubon state park on Monday.
