Now, wait just a doggone minute!<\/p>\n

My wife, Toby and Puppy and I are holed up at an RV park on what I have described as the Texas Tundra, where it’s plenty cold.<\/p>\n

Wait! I awoke this morning to learn that snow is falling down yonder in that so-called “warm climate” area of Texas. Corpus Christi? Snow. The Golden Triangle (where my wife and I raised our sons)? Same thing.<\/p>\n

One of our dear friends in Beaumont has referred to it all as the meteorological “weirdometer.” It’s snowing where it ain’t supposed to snow, but it’s still dry where it does snow, she says.<\/p>\n

Yeah, that’s weird, kid.<\/p>\n

Climate change? Is it really and truly changing? Aww, I won’t go there … this time.<\/em><\/p>\n

Our retirement journey has taken a strange turn. Our intention is to spend much of the winter pulling our fifth-wheel RV to “sunny and warm” climes relatively close to home while we try to sell the house where we lived for 21 years.<\/p>\n

Maybe we’ll make it happen. Eventually. It’s just a good thing we have no immediate plans to hit the road for points south.<\/p>\n

We have to wait for the snow to clear out.<\/p>\n

Good grief! Weird!<\/p>\n\n
