Texas

The weather changes. It got cold and blustery. It will be warm again in a
few days. Even when we're cold, we're forty degrees warmer than Denver.
Jamie said it was one degree there today.

Parked at the Port Aransas waterfront park in the Jeep. Watching the ship
canal. Porpoises in the bow wakes of freighters. Pelicans lifting off at
the last moment to let the car ferries pass, then circling around behind to
clean up whatever goodies are stirred to the surface. Gulls. Egrets and
herons wading the shallows. A lighthouse. The calm water of the marina.
Fresh seafood. Sea breeze. A jetty. A beach nearby.
