Just in time for Hanukkah, Christmas, Kwanzaa, New Year’s Eve and Washington’s Birthday, the Howdygram and the North Texas Tollway Authority are pleased to announce the GRAND OPENING of the eastern extension of the President George Bush Turnpike late Wednesday afternoon. Following three years of highly annoying construction the new stretch will connect several suburbs north of Lake Ray Hubbard to I-30 in northeastern Dallas County.
The map below indicates: A) Howdygram headquarters in Mesquite; B) Denny’s (we highly recommend their Senior Scrambled Eggs); C) Lake Ray Hubbard; and D) the southern end of the new President George Bush Turnpike extension, about four miles from home.
I should also mention that we’ll probably never use this stupid road because: 1) the tolls are way too expensive; 2) nobody with a brain needs an overpriced shortcut to
Plano; and 3) I’m not wild about the name even though it honors George Bush senior (see right) and NOT his son.
Big news! We get our biweekly Schwan’s delivery this morning and I’ve ordered a couple of new products ... cute little turkey meatballs and a sack of mixed berries. In a few days I’ll use the berries to make
Marcy’s Sugar-Free Fruit Cobbler.
It occurs to me that Trader Joe’s would be a lot cheaper for frozen berries — they’re cheaper for
everything, actually — but they haven’t started building any of their stores yet in Texas. I’d like to yell at somebody but I don’t know
who. Let me know if you want to volunteer, okay?
Thank you for reading this.
