An Unorganized New Year
so far. So for now,
Why I live in Montgomery, Texas
and
.
[People are calling to see where my blog update is today. Had to come up with something.]
So far I have 20 reasons but there are a lot more. So just one for tonight.
VERY IMPORTANT REASON: You can play golf 350 days a year. The other fifteen days are either too cold or too hot or it's raining.
Mrs. Jim and I played this afternoon. It was a nice day, no need for a jacket.

Well, here goes. I have plans not yet formulated so will just willy nilly for a while.
My sister sent this e-mail today showing why she would live in a small town in Iowa. She thinks Iowa is 'midwest' but for sure Iowa is so much blander than the rest of those states that it hardly qualifies as being 'midwest.'
It is too long to read a whole lot so it is on the bottom of this. I didn't even read every word. What the hey?
"Subject: Retirement relocationWhen we hit retirement age we come face to face with the fact that it maybe time to relocate. The big question is: where to? Here are sometips.
You can live in Phoenix, Arizona where.....
1. You are willing to park 3 blocks away because you found shade.
2. You can open and drive your car without touching the car door or thesteering wheel.
3. You‘ve experienced condensation on your butt from the hot water inthe toilet bowl.
4. You would give anything to be able to splash cold water on your face.
5. You can attend any function wearing shorts and a tank top.
6. "D! ress Code" is meaningless at high schools and universities. Picturelingerie ads.
7. You can drive for 4 hours in one direction and never leave town.
8. You have over 100 recipes for Mexican food.
9. The 4 seasons are: tolerable, hot, really hot, and
ARE YOUKIDDING ME??!!
