Give Alex Peterson a call before you write him off. His fees are quite reasonable. He beats regular movers by a good amount. It's worth checking out.

lb Furniture, in the strip mall with Sunrise Restaurant and OXXO, in San Antonio carries recliners. Plus they have catalogues and you can check on line for the brands they carry. They have the motorized or pull type. This is the store that used to be C&D furniture years ago. They have all the samples for upholstery and will order whatever you want.

A well seasoned cast iron pan is a thing of beauty. I wouldn't cook eggs in cast iron, because why. They pick up the seasoning and have an irony flavor. But as a substitute for grilling indoors, at high heat, it's hard to beat. Food doesn't stick.
I've had the ones I brought here for 30 years. Before that they were the only 2 things that survived a fire that burned down a house. I got it them at a yard sale from a teary woman who almost decided not to part with them because they were her grandma's (she of the burned out house). I promised to take care of them. So they are cherished Wagner's and damn near indestructible, since I have no plans to actually nuke them. Now that I think of it, this story is a good as the pans.
And as for cleaning, whisk with water while they're hot (mine have never warped) and dry on low flame. Dot with oil and wipe with paper towel. Can't imagine anything being easier. That's a non-stick clean up in my book.
Of course, I defend with my last breath CG's right to despise cast iron and the horse it rode in on.

I finally found it at Superlake with the hot sauces, instead of the spices.

I had cataract surgery in a dog, both eyes, around 2003 in the States. The dog had diabetes and developed cataracts quickly. The surgery was around the price you quoted, only they gave me a break for kind of experimental.
I had no one to advise me, so I thought surgery was the thing to do, like for people. I found out later, from a graph on the internet, that very few people have surgery in dogs. The recovery, as you should have been told, is very difficult in dogs. It's not the same as people, because the dog's eye is different. Requires high levels of constant care for months to avoid infection.
I haven't investigated it since then, which you should do to see how much has changed. I strongly feel I was poorly advised by my vet at the time. They can do it, but should they? We pour money into our pets as they age. I would advise to save your money on this particular thing. Even when it's not an issue of money, dogs get along well with low or no sight as other people here have said.
Ask your vet what they would do if it was their dog. Remember that dogs "see" mostly through scent, not vision.
"Dogs don't have nearly as good vision as humans, in general, so being blind really doesn't affect them too much." See... I found some garbage on the internet to support me.
Good luck with your decision.

When I went into Telmex on Monday, the woman said not all telephone numbers in SAT were upgraded. She checked my number and I was good. She put in the request to upgrade me. She said that sometimes it happens automatically and in other cases, they have to upgrade you manually.
She did say that all SAT numbers weren't good for the upgrade. It depends on the server. She gave herself as an example. She lives a few blocks for me and can't get the upgrade. So good luck and don't be too fast to cancel iLox.

Just email Art. If he's not taking on new clients for dog walking, he'll have the best referrals you can get.
He does most of his business by email, so don't hesitate to drop him a line.

My magic formula for peeling is the same as CG's, under running cold water. Additionally, peel within 2 minutes of cooking.
So, pull off stove. Toss hot water. Cold tap water over the hot eggs in the pan, so this starts the eggs cooling. Peel promptly under cold running tap water.
Either they are all nice and loose, or it's all for naught and you've got nothing to show, but brutalized eggs and burned hands.

Wizz Plus. If there was ever a fitting name for an Izzy product it's "Wizz".

As a side note, San Antonio has had the quietest festival since I've lived here (14 yrs). It's still loud but amount of cohetes during the weekday has been kept down to a handfull, morning and night. Today sounds more like the artillery fire we are used to.
I have two dogs that are terrorized by cohetes. One responds to thunder shirts and Rescue Remedy. The latter might be found at your vet or a health food store. It's homeopathic, but if it works for dogs, so be it. There is a vet formulation without alcohol, but in this instance, I'd use any I could find. One dog instantly responded to it. Amazed me.
Not all dogs respond to thunder shirts. You can see if your dog does by wrapping a towel around it and turning the ends tightly. Kind of sling the dog's chest in the towel and put the ends over its back. Wrap the ends to tighten. It's awkward, but may give temporary relief. Within 5 or 10 minutes perhaps. Thunder shirts wrap the dogs tightly and it's not really known why they work. But when they do it's dramatic. I bought my thunder shirts from Amazon US. Don't know if they're available locally.
I have one dog that is a wreck and none of the above work. She shakes so hard, it looks like she's having seizures. I sometimes give her a tiny dose of Calmivet, if the cohetes last for hours. It's a sedative and of course you want to use sparingly. You can get them from any vet. By tiny dose, I literally mean a sliver of a pill for a 12 lb dog.

I was referred to a fan store that's next to Food Container by my electrician. He said they do the installations also. I know nothing about the quality of work or if you're already talking about the same guy.

???? Tony's sometimes has ground chicken and always has hamburger. Costco has ground turkey.
I've had erratic experience at Tony's recently. Not much on display and no hamburger. When I asked for it, I was offered stew meat. I knew that might not be a great idea. The butcher ground it and didn't add any fat. It was awful. Well it wasn't hamburger.
This old stand by appears to be going down hill.

10 on fiber. Must Telmex take every opportunity to remind us they are still Telmex?

Ilox is in SAT, I have the wires and the box on the pole by my house, just waiting for the installers to come.
That's good news. First time that I've heard they are here.

Is there a third player in the fiber market? I live in San Antonio and about 2 or 3 months ago, an unidentified contractor was installing fiber. Remember we had threads on this forum, pictures of cable? Ilox isn't in SAT yet. It wasn't identified as Telmex. Izzy is dizzy. Do we know what that was about?

This is a thread from LAST year about Mount Garcia which is on the SOUTH side of the lake. It has nothing to do with the current fire situation.

I was going to go there to check it out, because I live in San Antonio. I read the reviews in Trip Advisor. They are almost all from Guad weekend visitors. Not only did we not go there, it almost put me off restaurants for life.

I almost hate to write this because I know it's going to be sold out the next time I look for it, BUT...it's really good. I just add a few more veg and I'm in pig heaven!
The brand is Milton's which is a major Costco brand, so maybe you'll be in luck. Now anything that's my favorite starts a death knell ringing in the distance, but you might have better luck.

There are new gluten free pizzas listed on the Costco Shopping service website. New to me at least.

Check the state that you moved from. California lists 5 (I think) criteria for paying state taxes. I no longer qualify.

I know. When I wrote my post, I had to edit out all the "so sad's". It bordered on depressingly drippy.

So sad to tell you all that Salvatore left and is no longer managing Cinco Potrillos. As happens to so many of our favorites here, the lease was raised and he couldn't afford it.
So .. that's all folks. He was the brains, energy, cooked...he also had a relative helping with the cooking... but it's all gone. When we checked, he doesn't have any prospects of opening a new place. Confirmed today that he's not there anymore.
He really appreciated the people who dropped in from this forum. I don't have any good news to give you.

Thanks. I'll correct my post.

Just to recap, Alex Peterson is still in the delivery business, generally once a month. He also moves people and boxes to or from the States. Last time I talked to him, that's an important part of his business, although he still does local driving, facilitation, etc.
Last year, he took my van to get the smog certificate. Had to chase all over for it and ended up going to Guad because it was the last day. I couldn't recommend him more highly.
