The Gulf Bends - The Third Coast

These sound like the more appropriate names this area should be identified with and the latter most possibly is more acceptable in my mind -- the Third Coast could have been spelled as "Turd" and been more correct.  The skies are still blanketed with a continuous grey cover but, at least the rains have stopped overnight and we are just getting "drizzle" off and on -- still not condusive to getting out and about to check out things to the south (Padre Island).  In my mind, I have set next Monday (the 7th) as the day I will venture to the ferry in Port Aransas and take it to the road that goes into Aransas Pass where the nearest Bank of America is located and maybe the closest Walmart too.

In the meantime, I check on the stock market to see how AAPL is doing and get the latest updates on our Mr. 51.8% Majority Elected Leader Obama to see where he is pointing his finger -- too bad he doesn't look in the mirror more often -- as he and his Democratic Senate continues to spend 3 billion dollars a day on his way to the next 4 trillion dollars to be added to the deficit.  When will the next downgrade on the U.S. bond rating occur -- Inauguration Day perhaps?  Glad I won't be watching that event -- a complete waste of my time.  I have better things than that to waste my time on and have no desire to listen to more of his phony rhetoric.

Guess I'll rinse off my fishing gear and then go shoot some pool in the rec hall followed by a hot bowl of soup and some sauteed shrimp (which I cooked after breakfast).  Fiesta Bowl tonight and will head into town to watch it at Bernies -- shoot some pool there too.
