I didn't get it... until now

There is this song called Summer Breeze. I've heard it by several artists. I've heard the original, but the first time I heard it was with Type O Negative. It was a bit dark with them, but still a pleasant song. I heard it later with the original artist. More recently, I heard Jason Mraz singing his version. He makes it a fun song to hear, and it's still a pretty good song.
 
There is a phrase in the chorus
 
Summer breeze makes me feel fine
blowing through the jasmine in my mind
 
I found out how cool that actually is. Lately at UTPA, the jasmine is in bloom. So, there are parts of campus where you walk through and it just smells great. Blooming jasmine is some awesome stuff. I didn't stop to smell the flowers, but you can't really help smelling them anyway. The scent just eminates? from the jasmine beds. If you see some somewhere, I recommend you walk by and check out the scent. It will put a good connection in your mind next time you hear that song.

Son, you're losing it. Sounds as if you're on some sort of trip - "a magic carpet ride." You're not taking enough hours.

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.
