Funky Weather . . .

Four days ago I think it hit 90 degrees, yesterday it got all the way up 60 degrees with rain.  The rain kept things cool.  Today it is back up to 77 degrees so it is warming up again.  And the rain clouds, well the blew away or perhaps the rise in temperature sent them off.  I am not a weather man, I just gotta suffer from it like the rest of you.

I am ready for the Coronavirus to slow down and for the temperatures to stay warm.  I want the spring weather to stabilize.  If I have to stay home, I want to be able to work in the yard comfortably.  I guess I am greedy about it.

I had to charge into the edge of Fort Worth to have my car inspected for its annual renewal of the license tag.  Well, we don't actually have license tags but we do have a sticker in the lower left side of the windshield with a date the next inspection is due.  The inspection is not much, sort of basic but the dealer gets $25 and change to do it.

Then you take your renewal paper work, a copy of your current insurance coverage documentation and a check and send it to the county for renewal.  They in turn send you the new sticker to put on the windschield.  Of course, you gotta scrape the old tag off first.  Not hard to do and we keep one of those razor blade scrapers in the utility room to do the job.

It is a nuisance job but it means spring is sprung cause that is when ours are due.  I guess we buy cars in the spring.

The other thing is income taxes and now they have been pushed back.  Even the Louisiana income taxes have been pushed back.  Of course, Louisiana taxes are dependent on your federal tax data.  So if Uncle Sam pushes back, so must the state.  I am not forgiven paying federal quarterly taxes and I will get that out soon.  It is due April 15.  Nobody forgave that.

So far we are healthy and no where near any Coronavirus.  But it is in Tarrant County (Fort Worth) and a lot of the folks work there or send their workmen here to do jobs.  You never know where it will come from but for sure if it is in Fort Worth, it will be here en-mass soon.  We have at this time four cases in Parker County and given the history of it spreading, we should see a big jump soon.

No shaking hands, instead pass the disinfectant wipe or a squirt of hand sanitizer.  Life is changing before our eyes.
