Sunset

So it seems that for the past few weeks, regardless of whether I've been in Houston or Ft. Worth, it has been cloudy, foggy, drizzling, and/or raining. Houston was hit with a really bad storm on the morning of 1/2/17. High winds. Hail. Thunder. Lightning. So it was really nice to see clear skies and a sunset.

Living with The Calvinator at his crib has proven to me that no two sunsets are ever the same.

Whilst out strolling with The Calvinator, we happened across these pansies which just so happen to be Mardi Gras colours!

Until now, I never knew there was a National Cotton Candy Day but the staff at Upper Kirby knew about. So...whilst out on our lunch stroll, The Calvinator and I stopped in and pick up some free cotton candy.

It didn't take long for the apartment building to disappear. My guess is that it has to do with squatters and taxes. If the building isn't there, no one can go in and live there. Also, the value of the property is devalued. It's just a guess.

It's true. No two sunsets are the same.

Once the weather cools off, maybe I'll be able to enjoy a glass of wine and enjoy the sunsets.

When The Calvinator and I moved into the Upper Kirby area of Houston, I noticed that the neighborhood was going through a transformation...and it continues.

There was a 20+ unit apartment complex that was probably built in the 1970s that has been demolished. The residents had to be out by July 31 and the building has come down. We'll have to see what happens next.

There was a Yappy Hour at Upper Kirby on National Dog Day. I was late getting home and was unable to take The Calvinator. However, on Thursday, the management staff bequeathed him with a swag bag for Post-National Dog Day.

Sometimes my eyes will catch something that takes me down a path that is sometimes hard to follow. As an example:

One might wonder why this photo is captioned parallel lines?

I see parallel lines but beyond that I see this:

And then this happened.

I was at The Calvinator's Crib, minding my own business, watching the telly while eating lunch and the smoke alarms inside the crib went off. I was a bit perplexed because I didn't turn on the stove, oven or microwave. I thought maybe they were malfunctioning. Plus, it was really loud and it caused The Calvinator to start howling.

I opened up the crib's door and realized the fire alarm for the building had been activated. So...I grabbed both phones, keys and The Calvinator, and we descended down floor flights of stairs.  This was a bit difficult for him because on Saturday, he somehow injured one of his legs while I was at a memorial service.

There were other people in the building who were also in the stairwell evacuating the premises with their pets.

Turns out it was a false alarm. Someone on the 2nd floor had pulled the alarm but they're not sure why. However, once it was determined it was a false alarm, they couldn't turn it off! And it was loud!

So...The Calvinator and I stayed outside and then went inside to the lobby where it wasn't as loud. They finally able to reset it and life went back to normal.

This is the view The Calvinator has from his new crib.  It encompasses part of Greenway Plaza and The Galleria district.

I took The Calvinator to his new crib to let him check it out.  He wasn't so sure about the balcony but eventually he went outside and started his neighborhood watch.  I'm not sure if he realizes that we our new zip code encompasses part of River Oaks.  So yes, we are The Jefferson.  We've moved on up to a "dee-luxe" apartment in the sky...sort of.
