Little Things
My wife loves spicy food. So much so that sheβll get a plate of spicy food and thatβs not enough for her.
Nope. Then sheβll go to her standby. Texas Pete.

Heβs the only other fella thatβs any competition for me in life besides our son.
I donβt like spicy foods much. I might throw some Texas Pete on a burrito.
I do admit that Texas Pete rode with me in the army just in case I came upon some chili mac, which was likely to happen.
I got off work today around 1:00 and decided Iβd go for a ride and make sure the truck was good. A long ride was needed. Maybe just wanted.
I was riding along and looking for places that might have a junked Ranger.
I need a few interior parts. Some plastic odds and ends. The interior is pretty great, amazingly. No tears in the seats. The dash and carpet are nearly pristine.
On down the road I ended up in a nearly ten mile long construction zone. I started counting Dollar Generals.
I also ended up in need of a bathroom.
My wife loves something else. Those little Smarties Mega Lollipops.

We usually find them at a candy store in Maggie Valley on vacation where she buys several. She doesnβt allow herself many treats like that. Iβve found them at Dollar General here and there so I grab them when I can.
Theyβve been sparse lately, like lots of things yβall might favor the last year and some change.
I hit several Dollar Generals on the way today. Six in total. Found three of these suckers on the way at one store. Still stopped at two more.
I donβt know why.
It makes her happy.
I guess itβs love.
Itβs the little things.
Thatβs it. Thatβs the post.
