Good day at UTPA

Today was a good day at UTPA. I took some pictures to put our camera to work. These are on the way to my Cost Accounting class. No point to these, just for fun.

Actually, I've always wanted a picture of the cornerstone at the Fine Arts Auditorium. It didn't come out too well. I think I need overhead light for shadow. Anyway, the Grand Lodge of Texas laid the stone back in 1969.



There was no purpose to this picture, it just seemed like a good image.



Again, no purpose. It was just on the way to class.



I can't figure out why these pay binoculars are there. What were they thinking?



Nice water feature from two different views. The landscapers put this in recently.



UTPA College of Business Administration. This is where I hang out.



This is the COBA Student Lounge. I often do my school work in there. It also serves as my on-campus podcast studio. Behind me is the TV we have set to Fox News all day. Not pictured here are the vending machines, sink, and microwave. It's a cool place to hang out.

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.
