 Friday we left park early and headed to dentist in Progreso, Mexico.  Only a few minutes to remove sutures and set up an appointment in March to have impressions made for caps to put on the implanted posts, presuming all the swelling will be gone and gum returned to normal.  Here is a guy going to work just outside the dentist office:

Have to say that is the first time have seen this in all the years we have been to Progreso.  On the way back home we got gas for $3.139.  Gas prices varied on the way to Texas this year, from $3.43 to $3.11.  North of Houston we saw several stations with a sign out proclaim "OUR GAS DOES NOT CONTAIN ETHANOL".  The pumps here in the valley proclaim only "this gas may include up to 10% ethanol" and I decided that since Texas is an oil state maybe they were really hostile to ethanol.  However, this afternoon as we were coming back from Mercedes went by a railroad siding that had about 10 tank cars with label of ETHANOL on the side of them.  So, I don't know.
This morning we ate breakfast at the Rec Hall and then helped clean up the kitchen afterwards.  We then headed out on our trikes and rode about 10 miles, including stopping at RV Park of our friends Oliver and Mary Jo.  Coming back we came to this sign:

Since we were riding the trikes and didn't have anything electric and no plug-ins we rode in anyway, and seem to get along all right.
This afternoon I started ripping the upright boards on our deck and making them into pickets, even bought some white paint and started painting them.  This evening our good friends Bob & Bobby are coming over for a visit.  They are from Minnesota and stay only a few houses from us here in the park.

Till later, Lynn
