23 DAYS, BUT WHO'S COUNTING

We leave on the 26th. Hopefully our relief will be here in the morning.
Things are still slow here and the days are pretty boring. The nights are really boring for Linda and she complains almost daily about the crap on tv. She does scan the guide and records some programs, but not enough to hold her interest.

Our fellow gate guards down by the tracks have been gone for about three days and just came back home. They have a lot down in the valley about 120 miles southwest of here (between Brownsville and McAllen) and went down to visit it.
They brought us back some fresh fruit from their trees: grapefruit, oranges, and lemons,

Normally when Linda goes to bed at about 3:30am both dogs go with her. But the last week or so Walker has been staying with me. He sleeps either beside me or behind me on the love seat. It is nice to have him for company.

And sometimes he can't decide who he wants to sleep with, so he sleeps on the steps, half way between us.

 

 

 

And, here are a couple of sunrise pictures.

 

 

We are looking forward to getting out of here, and in reality, the weeks seem to go by fairly quick......it's just the days that are so slow.

Hope all is going well for you

Love to all of ya

Jim and Linda
