As City Fest approaches

I find it hard to believe that City Fest is coming up tomorrow.

Yes, I'm going, which means a return to the US.

Not really looking forward to returning to the US, but it's a bunch of duty dances.  When done, it's back to Mexico until my trip to Houston.

Should be a fun few days.

Rescue Mission or Fool's Errand

Well, I don't know.

I knew when I started dating someone that poor family dynamics on his end were an issue.

In spite of the fact they are poor, he decided to move with his sister and family to Lake Jackson, TX then Angleton, TX.  We all told him not to go, but he did anyway.

Well, it didn't work out as planned and his sister struck him.

Big no no.

So, next week, I'm going to pick him up and take him back to San Diego.

That is his Xmas present.

I told him the rest is up to him.  He says that he has everything set up.  I'm not so sure.

But we will see what happens.

Weekend Observations

Couple of things I noted.

I'm used to the fact after four years, when strangers call me on the phone in Mexico and are basing the call on something I filled out, they take the path of least resistance and call me by my middle name.  That is because it is Spanish.  I have gotten so used to it, I just laugh it off.  It was confirmed to me yesterday by someone out to sell me a condo that I was correct in the logic.

In real estate, it really is location, location, location no matter where you go.  That said, I noted the money I would save for a cheaper place would all go to a car.  Sigh.

I really need to do more stuff such as look at condos and shop for cars.  It's good for my Spanish.  Also good exercises are anything to do with fine arts and lectures.

After two mass shootings, I wonder if I am safer in Tijuana than in the United States.  Note that Tijuana is not known for being particularly safe.  I'll know more on the 11th when I return to the US.
