Rio Grande Valley

There are only two things to do when you go to the Rio Grande Valley: go to 8th grade science classes and check out a Rio Grande Valley Killer Bees' ice hockey game. Just kidding. But that's what I did during one of the days I was there. And between one and the other, there was the obligatory trip to Whataburger.

I truly became a fan of the Killer Bees when I found out that they serve dollar beers if the home team scored during a power play. It happened, and we sprinted to concessions because there was only a ten minute window to take advantage.

Shout out to Nate and all four periods of his science classes that we sat through. His students presented power point slide shows about measures we should take to save the environment.

I Told Ya'll...

But I'm not moving back, I'm only visiting. Yesterday I spent a total of 7.5 hours either in an airport or on an airplane, just to get to a little town near the border called McAllen. No more snow and coats...it's now 70 degrees with cacti. Shout out to Tony Kornheiser and Upton Sinclairwho kept me company on the plane.
