Free at last!

Today was my last day at Confetti. I showed Amanda and Krystal, my co-workers, now former co-workers, how to do some of the stuff they will need to do to keep the store running. I think they will be OK. Krystal has three weeks before she has her baby, so she'll be out soon. Amanda will try to hang in there as much as possible.

Now, I am gainfully unemployed. Yay! What freedom. What joy. I will put off finding another job as much as I can. I just got my W2, so my wife and I will be filing our taxes and getting a big return because we are poor and have 2 children. If I cut my spending and she does too, I figure we have about 1 month before I have to start looking for work and 2 months before I have to land one. Of course, I can still do odd jobs here and there for cash.

My plans during this free time is to hang out with the family. My daughter goes to school, so I won't get to spend as much time with her as I will with the boy. I'll take anything I can get. So, I'm off to go watch Gone With the Wind with the Mrs. Good night.

Hey, Election time is right around the corner. You'd be a great Politicero - and they get paid in cash.

Fall 2024 in the RGV

By
It's that time of year again when Winter Texans start to make their way south from the northern states. I have already had phone calls with a Winter Texan client who is getting ready to come down. I think it is fascinating that we can make friends from people who are visiting only seasonally.  Looking at the blog stats, I seem to get a peak in traffic every year. So I suppose it must be partly due to many of our friends coming back from up north.  Image generated by Gemini 1.5 Pro AI Speaking of seasons, we still have a couple of months to go before the end of hurricane season for 2024. We have been fortunate this year, compared to other parts of the USA. Although, south Texas could use the rain.  This time of year makes me happy as we finally have nights that are below 78F like we had all summer. This week we have had mornings in the 60s. While we still have hot days in the 90s, we at least get some respite in the evenings, leading to cool mornings.  Returning to RG...

The Mad Mexican

By
Years ago, there used to be a DJ at B104, a local radio station. Until recent years, B104 had a large audience. They played pop music. The Mad Mexican used to do the morning show with Gary Rodriguez, who is now involved in McAllen politics. Well, the Mad Mexican is still working, but on a national level. I heard him this morning on Aguila, XM 92. Aguila is the Mexican music station on XM Satellite Radio. It's great to hear from him again. He's still pretty wild. Gary Rodriguez? He worked for 107.9 for a while before going to KURV and then entering politics.
