Day 80

We spent the first part of the morning in bed with the dog.  The cats were not amused.

I didn't feel like doing anything today, so we spent the rest of the morning reading and surfing.  Hooch sent us an email saying that he'd found out that Oregon was holding about $100 of "unclaimed funds" for us.  So Ellen spent some time filling out the forms they require to get the money.

In the afternoon we went to the bank so that a notary public could watch her sign the papers.  We hadn't had lunch, so we asked the lady at the bank about the Mexican restaurant next door.  She said it was OK, but nothing special.

We picked up the mail and then went back to the restaurant to have a really late lunch.  The lady was right.  I don't think we'll go back.  The food wasn't bad, but there's better places around.

Ellen needed a couple of things at HEB, so we went there.  The parking lot, including the bank lot, was absolutely full.  People were parking along the side of the road behind the store.  Inside wasn't really too bad.  There were a lot of people, but you could get around all right.  The checkout didn't take too long.  I talked with the manager while I was waiting.  He said that every checker that worked at the store was there.  He told them that they'd be there for as long as necessary and that they could raid the cookies and candy if they wanted.  There was a large grocery cart full of candy and cookie packaging by the manager station.

We stopped at Circle C on the way home.  Lucy did another fine job.
