| Winning drawing from MCMS art contest: The Best of Miller, Texas Congratulations Mikey Vines |
January 10, 2015
It seems that the New Year always brings out the
romantic side of people. Resolutions. The wish to be a better person.
Being grateful for all the blessing of the past year. Appreciating
the SO in your life, or wishing for a special someone to come along and sweep
you off your feet. Old man winter is settling into his element, stirring
up the north winds and sending them streaking across the Canadian border.
If you live up north that means snow and subzero temperatures.
Brrrr! I mean 9 degrees, if that isn't the perfect excuse to
canoodle, then I don't know what it. Still, in Texas, the temps don't dip
that low more than once in a blue, blue, blue winter moon. No, Texans are
just normally kind of romantic. How else
do you account for the swagger? Which leads this blogger to the
point--what's with all the Valentine's? Surely, retailers could take a
brief break between holidays. Let people enjoy these few weeks of snuggling
up with their honeys before the stores bombard the world with Valentine's Day
displays. It is like the minute the bubbly pops at midnight on the
thirty-first, bang! Hearts and flowers explode. Everywhere you look, from the
grocery stores to the ads on the internet, sappy red hearts abound. Makes
a body weary, and take the romance right out of the season, if you ask this
blogger's opinion, which maybe you did, since you are reading this post.
Ironically, all this pre-advertising doesn't seem to help. If you
don't agree, just visit a lingerie store, florist, or candy shop on
February 14th. The lines are longer than any other day of the year.

| Yikes! See? Even this blog has been infected with hearts and flowers. |
Moving on, to a slightly less prosaic, but oddly related
note --there are no new romances to report on in our little berg. Millerites seem to be
laying low because of the cold front that blew through bringing cold
rain and even some sleet. There were some reports of visitors to
Miller that are of special interest. Remember the feisty little
red head that flew in for the A-B wedding. She was seen at
the Double D this past weekend, enjoying some of Chef M's delicious
catfish with her good pal and former roommate. A certain dude
transplanted from New York was also there. His former flame, the science
teacher, showed up at the roadhouse to dine, as well. For a few moments, it
looked like there might be a fracas worthy of the old nighttime
soap, Dallas. Alas, the dude and the redhead from New York
(RHFNY) went their separate ways, and the lady who got her heart broken spent
her night at the bar keeping company with a hunky blond. The E 5s were
also at the roadhouse, celebrating a family birthday. What a spunky group
those five are! Don't fret, this intrepid blogger will keep an ear to
ground. Should a new romance bloom, or a herd of stampeding buffalo head
this way, you can read about it right here.
Meanwhile, don't forget that a hoodie and a
toboggan are not really adequate for temperatures in
the thirties. If you are out and about, wear a real coat, for Pete's
sake and be sure to keep a blanket or two in your car. Being stranded on
the side of the road in the dead of winter, even in Texas, could be
uncomfortable. Stupidity causes more deaths in our country than any thing else.
Nuff said.
