Boyz Are Back In Town

George and Stanley arrived Tuesday morning. They are staying with Uncle Cowboy through Saturday. Their mom is taking care of work in Maine and then going on a retreat. Without her, we are expecting barrels of fun times. There may be an occasional accident but fun nonetheless.

Over my lunch break Wednesday I ran to a nearby Target and grabbed an orange hand and a purple spider. The Boyz loved the toys. Gotta love Halloween. Always good for something fun, something orange, something new.

Arrived home from Houston Monday night. Jetted down there Saturday morning for the main purpose of attending my first Oklahoma State football game for the season. My Cowboys took on the Cougars of the University of Houston. Sadly, we lost. And the last eight minutes or so of the game included a good down pour of rain. Had a good time, though, and there were lots of orange-clad folks in attendance.

While in Houston, I also spent time with LLYNNT and met Amy from No No Bad Cats. Very nice visits. Of course, also grabbed a couple of Hard Rock Cafe guitar pins too.

Noticed very wide-ranging gas prices in Houston. One station, near Hobby Airport, was at $1.99. Most common was about $2.16-$2.17. Near highway exits, I saw as high as $2.46. It was interesting.

Heard on the news Tuesday night that the Kansas City area has the lowest gas prices in the nation. The highest was Hawaii at over $3. My Shell is still at $1.99. All the Raytown stations are $1.97, with the CITGO and Valero at $1.96. An fyi. Just in case you were curious.
