Smoke plumes, Mongolian chicken and an abundance of Mickeys.

Good afternoon, how’s the family and howdy from Texas! While Sam is at a doctor appointment I’ve decided to hang out with the Howdygram until I’m hungry enough to make lunch.

First order of business, a couple of new pictures of my great-nephew Tyler (age four) taken on a recent trip to California with his mom and dad. I’m assuming the first shot is Disneyland but Sam thinks it’s Disney’s California Adventure. I really wouldn’t know the difference from the snapshots I saw because Disney obviously hires a sufficient quantity of Mickeys to cover both theme parks. Also Minnies.
I screwed up a substantial detail in yesterday’s Howdygram post. I mentioned that our new iPad was being delivered today ... but it’s NOT. What’s being delivered today is the fold-up iPad cover that I ordered — an Apple accessory — and not the actual iPad itself, which shipped yesterday from Chengdu, China, and won’t get here until June 1. As a result I’m irked, morose, frustrated, despondent and altogether miserable enough to order a pile of Mongolian chicken.
From our Not Really Weather department, I was starting to get very excited about the possibility of rain today judging from the lack of sunshine and heavy overcast clouds, but I just read that we’re actually experiencing a smoke plume drifting east from that huge wildfire in New Mexico’s Gila National Forest. Just between us, I’d rather have rain. If anybody has an email address where I can send a complaint, please let me know.

Thank you for reading this.
