Miserable Day in the Neighborhood

The weather the first couple of weeks at Yokosuka reminds me a bit of South Texas'. If you don't like it, just wait five minutes. At first we were suffering sweltering heat and humidity, then we enjoyed a couple of marvelous days of cool temperatures, and now, the last two days have been constantly drizzly. Melba and I look like a pair of Morton Salt girls walking about with black umbrellas. This is miserable weather, especially when you have to walk most places. Now I know why most people wind up buying a car in Yokosuka.

For the last twenty-five years I have had the Corpus Christi Caller delivered to my door, and save for the sports section, I have faithfully and religiously devoured its contents. These days I must contend with the online edition of the Caller. Not the same thing. I prefer the feel of the newsprint between my fingers when I read the news. I never thought I would be reading our U.S. military's edition of Stars and Stripes, but now I am.
