50 Years of Loyalty Down the Drain

I cut the cord!

 No more LAN line telephone from AT&T. No more U-verse TV from AT&T. 


An old friend from the past has now marked its presence in Dallas. Good ole' Bank of New York,Mellon Bank. Mellon bank, of course was that famous Pittsburgh bank before they merged. I happen to think that the merger was one of the best bank mergers to date. Both were excellent banks and combined, they are top notch! Glad to see them in the Dallas Market.

Things like this bring banks like BNYMellon

Light Rail also is a big draw for Dallas. This is the largest light rail system in the country. It just grew with the opening the UNT-Dallas station for south Dallas campus, the second campus in the metroplex for UNT-Dallas.The UNT Law School will be in downtown in  the old Muni-Building.
Editor's note:
In the DART light rail photo, we stated incorrectly that the new station was the UTDallas. It is the University of North Texas campus of UNT Denton, Texas. We regret the error and are sincerely sorry for the mistake.

Turn the Soil, Water and Spring! But Wait!

 The Old Testament Book of Ecclesiastes proclaims that there is a time and a season for everything under  heaven. It's a verse that I learned in early childhood. Each year about this time, I begin to look for the time when life springs forth for another year after a deep winter's sleep. This year, the sleep was a little colder and a little deeper than in the past 40 years. The yippee-dippy weather man said tonight that we would freeze again for the 51st time this season. It will warm up into the mid 70s and then we become cold again where the weatherman will have to count the freezes again. Our typical last freeze here in Dallas is 13th of March. It's like cheering on the ponies at the races....and here they come down the stretch.. Spring is pulling away from the pack......and it's Spring by a length!!

After checking on Fred at the bank today.....

 ( He's the surviving Beta fish. The three previous were Jack and Jill  who died. Then came Fred and his partner. One Monday morning about two months ago, Fred's partner was stung by a big spider and did not survive. Now, the bankers cover Fred's tank at night. It's the only bank that I can remember where a fish was the topic of discussion with almost every transaction. Fred and his partner were a gift from a customer after Jack and Jill departed )

......I set out to check on the progress of spring.  In less than a mile, I found Spring. However, tonight we are going to have a hard freeze again. The good thing is that the winds will be light but moving air, thank goodness.
First: turn a little soil.

Next: Spinkle with a little water

Voila! Spring!

April Steps Fell, Weather brought shut-in days. Happy May Day, Too!

Springtime in Texas is mixing up the cold air with the warm moist Gulf air inflow, but it was still, a pretty good month weather, health and...
