Weather to play or not.

Sunday 3rd (morning)

The weather reports have changed since last night, now they are predicting the storms will pass through earlier and be clearing up by 3, which is when I have my tee time. Supposedly there were heavy storms already this morning some what to the north of us but when I went out for a paper about 9, the weather was warm and dry, although overcast. The weather web page rates today as a 5 (out of 10) on the golf index. Tomorrow is a 9 and the rest of the week through to Saturday are 8's.

Earlier I had made a couple of fixes to the TAD program that Brandon (senior) had requested in an email. I've now read the paper - mostly rubbish and heaps and heaps of advertising pamphlets. A bit like Sunday papers everywhere. As long as there are comics and the TV program anything else is a bonus. The paper here is a weird shape. It is really tall and skinny so not easy to read unless you have a table to put in on.

The picture is of my rental car outside HEB, which is a reasonably sized supermarket, a la Coles or Woolworths. The Chevy Impala seems to be a bit bigger than a Camry and has a 6cylinder engine. I've had very few problems driving on the "wrong" side of the road and have hardly even tried to get in the passenger side by mistake, which happened a lot one trip here back in the 20th Century. Also it has only one lever, with the wipers controlled by a turn ring rather then a separate lever so I have avoided the problem of turning on the wipers when I meant to indicate.
