Cool but not freezing, and warming later. I think it got into the mid-60sF yesterday. I saw at least 63F on a sign… And it was sunny and clear for most of the day, with some overcast later.

I took a bit longer to get out of the house than I’d hoped, but I did get out. Did the missed pickup in the morning, then two more in the afternoon in Stafford. Lots of new building, new infrastructure, and new power transmission lines going in in Stafford. Lot of empty lots waiting for new homes and businesses. But judging by the political campaign signs, it’s a subcontinent stronghold with subcontinent in all local offices. I’m not interested in being governed by subcontinent.

Speaking of new transmission lines, they are upgrading the lines through the greenspace/right of way in my area. This is the second time in a couple of years. Everywhere I go they are putting in new transmission lines. Texas is spending the money needed for growth.

Later in the day I put up some of the new Christmas lights I picked up, and put out a few more inflatables. I think I’m probably done with outdoor decor. I might work on low lying fog, and get out the snow machine to do at least one night with snow effects. I’ll put out something interesting to blow the fog and fake snowflakes around if I do.

Today I’ve got two or three pickups. I need to do some more stuff around the house and at the shop too. Maybe I’ll wrap some presents. It could happen. I need to assess where I’m short in the present department. The problem with buying all year is forgetting what you have. I suspect I have too much for D2 and not enough for D1. W is now taken care of with a couple of smalls, and a new macbook.

Stacking up good times, and canned goods. You can do it!
