Greetings from... Texas!

First, let me say to all of you in Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, Washington D.C., and everywhere else that has been hit by the big storms this past week that you have my sympathy. Mother Nature has really outdone herself this winter! It gets better though, well, maybe worse. I heard on the news this evening that Vancouver is having unseasonably warm weather, and the Olympics are starting tomorrow. Not good timing.

Speaking of good timing, I'm still trying to find warmer weather. There was sleet in southern Louisiana when I left there this morning. It rained all day as I drove west toward Texas. I sure am glad I'm going south instead of north though. The Dallas-Ft. Worth area got about 9 inches of snow today. Northern Louisiana, where I spent two weeks in January trying to get warm, has gotten several inches too. New Orleans, Mobile, and Pensacola could get an inch or so of the white stuff.

It's just rain where I'm at right now (near Beaumont). But that could turn to an icy mess overnight if temperatures go much lower. The rain and snow are supposed to be out of Texas by morning and sunshine is supposed to return as well as somewhat warmer temperatures. Warmer being in the 50-60 range during the day and 30-40 range at night. I'll settle for that for now ;-)

The “plan” is to go a little further south along the Gulf Coast, then west through San Antonio, then to Big Bend National Park, then north again to Guadalupe Mountains National Park, and maybe some points in-between, then... well, there's no “plan” that far ahead. No timetable either, I may be here awhile...

The ability to comment has been turned off for all blog posts effective 21 May 2018. Kinexxions has been inactive for more than two years and most comments have come to me directly via email from readers but more than a few were simply spam. My desire is to keep the blog available to the public since there is value in what has been published, particularly posts dealing with family history.

I am still extremely interested in hearing from readers who might be related and have questions or simply want contact with a distant cousin. Please contact me directly via email at kinexxions@gmail.com

This action is also being taken partially due to the General Data Protection Regulation aka "GDPR" going into effect on 25 May 2018. Even though it is a regulation implemented by the European Union that primarily affects businesses and corporations, it governs how data about people can be used. That includes comments left on blog posts, thus the ability to comment is no longer available.
