No Riverwalk for the Review tonight

Still the same King-ian mist enveloping the town, though it is cooler. Cool and wet enough to put off a trip downtown to see the candlearia on the Riverwalk (see picture at Right).

There's always tomorrow night, if the winds blowing in from the North don't blow the limb hangers from our Pecan trees on to our heads as we try to rake and pick up the last of the nuts.

Maybe we'll just stay in and keep listening to Sonny Rollins "Saxophone Colossus" over some Pho.

Or, if we make it to the Riverwalk tomorrow, catch the Jim Cullum Jazz Band at the Landing.

San Antonio Weather Forecasts on Yahoo! Weather

The sidewalks and streets are covered with... We won't call it "slime," but it's slippery as hell. Mist. Humidity 79%. Whatever. We woke up pre-7AM to the news of at least a half-dozen wrecks strewn about the loops and highways. It wasn't even raining, just misting. All we can surmise is that San Antonio must have a lot of former residents of deserts where the concept of driving on wet streets is a totally foreign concept.

Hi yesterday low-50's. Hi today: 82. Hi tomorrow: 51.

My my. And this team was tailor made to beat us.

According to the SA Express News....

... hell has frozen over:

Taking a rare stand against a developer to protect a pristine watershed that drains into the Edwards Aquifer, trustees of the San Antonio Water System unanimously rejected an agreement Tuesday to provide water to a planned subdivision in the remote hills northwest of the city.
