Ok. I leave Galveston for 2 weeks and what happens? They get snow. Snow in Galveston, Texas? Apparently it has not happened since 1989 and guess what. I am here in California. Unbelievable. At least my car got to see the snow.
This evening I asked DD if he wanted to drive around and take me to some of my old hang outs. He took me to 2 of them. One is on Signal Hill. It has changed a lot. There are much more houses on the hill than there were 2 years ago. The view from the hill is still nice. The 2nd place was what I call The Reef. It is a park area between the Queen Mary and a restaurant called The Reef. From this park you can see all of downtown across the water. I would come often when I lived here whenever I wanted to calm down and think.
