I know. SO Texas. There were bars in the windows, but you could just freely walk in. No buzzing or anything. I thought about going in, but was too unnerved after a scruffy teenage duo walked in before me. It made me think of that Miss Congeniality scene where Candice Bergen says, "This is Texas! Everybody has a gun! My florist has a gun!"
Another observation of the week is the perturbing use of the word, "already." People here use it with gerunds so it really makes no sense to me at all. For example, someone was on the phone explaining to someone else that they were walking out the door and on their way elsewhere. So they said, "I'm already leaving!" You can't be already leaving! You haven't left yet! You're just plain LEAVING! There were other examples, but I forgot to write them down and recently have the cognizance of a geriatric.
And on a completely unrelated note, there was another sighting of Bernard, the friendly stray!
How CUTE is he!!? It was a cold (for south Texas) day, so I'm hoping he will be okay.
To all of my friends who have expressed concern for my new friend, Bernard: The people across the way put food and water out for him daily (even though most city websites say not to do this with strays). I don't think they allow him in the house, because from the sounds of it, they have a dog. Otherwise, he can be found sleeping on their doormat most days and seems to enjoy his way of life as he knows it.
ReplyDeleteAnd, No, I do not pet/play/or entertain him. I have a very intense fear of stray animals. But he's SO cute to take pictures of!
