Day in Comfort

What is one to do when the temperatures are over 100 with the heat index 105? 

We drove (in AC car) to Comfort, TX. We went into High's cafe in Comfort, TX and had some great food. (In AC).

Smile on three... one, two, three,

thanks mom.

Back in the air conditioned car and drove to Sisterdale, TX to the Sister Creek Winery.

Uncle Frank knows everything about wine and making it. It sounded like it anyway.

Chesley and Frank tasted the wine and mom and I stayed cool inside the winery.

Then... on the way home we had a blow out! So much for the staying cool. Lamar (Chesley's brother),  came to the rescue and took my mom and I to his house to stay cool while Chesley and Frank stayed with the car waiting for AAA to come and fix the tire. We were on IH 10 at Ralph Fair Road.

Knowing we couldn't keep the AC running for long before it would stop cooling, we were very happy that Lamar came to get us. AAA took almost an hour getting there. The car sitting in the sun, eventually read (inside) 107 for the outside temp. I'll always remember to take a cooler with water in it on any day out in the car just in case of trouble. We were fortunate enough to have water and can't imagine if we didn't.

The traffic was so bad that I knew we couldn't make it across the highway and then up the steep hill to the gas station just 500 yds away.

LESSON if anyone is still with me here----Always keep the cell phones charged or have a car charger and have plenty of water in your car. It's worth the trouble getting a cooler and putting water in it. You never know when this could happen.
