A River Runs Through It

There's a river that runs through the county.  It's a calm river, although rather dirty looking, but I find it interesting at several public accesses along its path through this area.  One must find beauty where it lies. 

There's also a riverwalk, not the beauty of San Antonio, but nevertheless, it offers a walk along the river.  Again, we must see beauty where it offers us a respite from hard concrete, power poles, and vehiclar traffic.

I had lunch with mom today at a seafood restaurant.  It was my treat for the time she spent caring for our katz while we were away on a camping trip.  She recently got a security system and when we returned to her house after lunch, it was screeching away when we got inside.  I'm talking LOUD.  She said she needs to watch the training DVD again that was left with her.  Yep, that's a great idea!  Hope it explains how to reduce the volume...
