We need somebody to invent something. Know those two pins that connect the
tow gear to the front of the tow car? You have to have two of them or the
whole thing doesn't work.... those two pins. Know how when you pull the
pins to disconnect the car, you have the disconnected tow bar in one hand
and the second pin in the other. You have to set the pin down, fold up the
tow gear, then remember to turn back and put the put the pin back in the
bracket on the tow car so it will be there the next time you hook up. That
pin.
Someone should invent a pin that stays attached to the tow car at all times
so people that might forget to turn back and put the pin back in the front
of the tow car before they drive it away won't be disappointed the next
morning. I mean just in case that ever does happen to anyone.
Got an early start this morning, made a quick stop in San Antonio to run an
errand to an RV supply store, and headed northwest. Through Boerne,
Kerrville, and Junction. Turned right at Sonora, north to San Angelo.
Stopped for the night at Big Spring, migration home for thousands of
sandhill cranes, none of whom are here right now because it's not time to
migrate. Got barbecue at Brenda's.
It's still hot, high nineties today, but we're farther north and the
humidity is lower. It promises to cool down below eighty tonight. Saw
robins, lesser goldfinches, curve-billed thrashers, and some little brown
birds. Still trying to figure out the flycatchers with yellow bellies we
saw at Paradise Pond. Maybe juvenile eastern phoebes.
