What do Indepence Day and Ducks Have In Common?

Seem to be on a roll with Texas trivia so I'll share this last tidbit.  Did you know that Texas was actually a country for a few years?   It was called The Republic of Texas and today Texans celebrate Independence Day.

Texas Independence Day is the celebration of the adoption of the Texas Declaration of Independence on March 2, 1836. With this document, settlers in Mexican Texas officially broke from Mexico, creating the Republic of Texas.^[1] Texas Independence Day is an official holiday in the state of Texas.<sup>[2]


The unit is currently sitting at 115 ft. above sea level and we are enjoying 73 degrees outside.  This is the first day that we have not run the heater inside the unit and we're thrilled with the propane $$ savings! 

Until she found the ducks, Adjuster Dog had a very uneventful day ... eat, sleep, eat, sleep, woof, sleep, woof, woof, woof.  This is Sadie driving down in highway ... she's so dialed in to the world!  Just noticed that this shot makes the 10 month old Dachshund look older than she is (not nice).</sup>

^{The other campers in the park were very entertained watching Sadie chased the stupid ducks around the camp ground.  "Someone" was walking her on the leash, then "someone" lost control of the leash, then "someone" had to run through several campsites trying to corral the Dachshund. Times were pretty crazy so "someone" couldn't capture a picture of the event so this is the best we can do.  These are ugly ducks; no wonder she was chasing them!}

 

Very ugly ducks!  And "someone" was me (Phil), can't believe a 9.4# dog could break free and chase ugly ducks.  Every time she got close to one it would stop and turn and she would put it in reverse and back peddle (not so stupid after all).  Corpus on Monday, meet with the people that will be able to electronically fingerprint Anne and get a print they can use to tell them that she is not the criminal that they must think she is.  2% of the US population have prints that can not be captured and I am proud to be married to one of the 2%.  Results to follow.

Going to sample some TX BBQ shortly so signing off.  Peace and love, ya'll and pray for storms!
