Ever see the swimwear wornduring male swimming competition? Speedo is the style and brand name.
Bingo ! Gotcha cowboy ! Well ,its 7pm and its been a glorious day - bright sunny and cold enough to freeze them off a brass monkey. NO FOG repeat NO FOG. Just to give you a flavour of my life, Today I had tea and toasted teacake in a castle built by the Normans in the 11th century in Wensleydale. The idle retired life. How was your day ?
Tea? I take it they were out of Strongbow?

Today was good for me as well, thank you. Mid 70's today with a nice breeze.....perfect for my normal shorts & T-shirt attire. 5:30P here and enjoying a Tennessee bourbon whiskey with spring water. Location is in our castle be it ever so humble.
You didn't see how strong the tea was ! What's the matter with Texas whisky then ? Sub-zero again, I can see icebergs and polar bears in the North Sea from my window [only joking but you wouldn't go into the North Sea even in what passes for high summer here - it comes straight off the ice cap].
Going to up the castle ante now. After lunch I plan to do bit shopping in the City of Durham next door [the original]. City has finest Norman Cathedral in Europe [900 years old ] and a castle. The city itself has a recorded history of 2000 years but was already an established fort 500 years before the Roman Army built a huge military camp there.
Not really shouting the odds but where you live shapes who you are. When you walk along streets which were walked by Roman legionaries you get an odd shiver in your soul.
I imagine you would get a similar twitch at the Alamo or have I seen to many movies ?
I once visited Stonehenge which was old when the pyramids were built and, oh boy, did I feel it there !

Tourists enjoy going to the Alamo but Texans hold it in high regard, especially those of us born in San Antonio. I'll be heading "home" to San Antonio in ten days to see friends and to polish/buff/detail a Chevy truck for one of those friends. The Alamo City is a 4.5 hour drive north from where we live now.

HAHAHA! Yeah, I thought that as well- I saw a woman driving a jeep with a pink ribbon sticker that read "save the ta-ta's" pretty funny to me.[&:]

For our esteemed English friend. TaTa's is slang here for "****". Example: She has bodacious TaTa's. Translation: Very generous chest.....enough to make you look twice. If she gets a chest cold then she's sure to pass away!
