Doug passed last night. I'm waiting to hear back from my Mom on whether she wants me to make the trip, since he had requested cremation of his remains.

Ed did leave this morning for Texas around 7:30 AM. I have heard from him along the way. Just waiting to hear if he may it. Yes it's lonely. There is a strange felling around here tonight. Pray for us I don't like what I am hearing outside tonight.

As you might have heard, I'm here in Palm Valley, TX. Things are okay, but the car's alternator light came on a few times. I'll be stuck here until I can find out what the issue is. Meanwhile, I did bring my laptop and my cellphone, so I'm able to keep in touch. I'm using my mother's wifi.

Re: the car -- two things.
The shops here in this area are overwhelmed. I cannot get help from them for weeks to come.
I looked at the belts and detected a slippery, almost oily film on one of the pulleys. So I decided to try belt-dressing. It made a huge difference in how the engine sounded. As I drive around here today, I'll keep a watch on it. When something like an alternator fails, it's almost always all or nothing. It's quite rare for them to give trouble until they simply quit working.
