Independence Day
This past weeks’ trip to Devine was uneventful as far as the trip was concerned, thank goodness. We had several things planned, including a trip to Kerrville meet up with my granddaughter to pick up her girls for a little time with grandparents. We had a great time, visiting, eating out and shopping! These young ladies really enjoy shopping at thrift stores, so Friday found us at the Hospice Store in Devine where they each found several things. Back at the house, I started getting stuff together to head back home, and again my trip was uneventful, except for quite a bit of traffic, including lots of motor homes and travel trailers.

WAY BACK when I was young, and folks had just about stopped coming to town in their wagons and Model T’s, there was a common saying used in La Brasada. Or at least in the circles that My Clan ran in.
TidBits
Your Lytle P.D. week in review … Officers handled 68 calls for service and conducted 99 traffic stops. Of those stops, 78 resulted in citations and 21 were warnings. I will expand a little on the traffic stops. Fifty-three (53) of the citations were for speeding, with the average speed of 13.13 miles per hour over the limit. The largest amount over the limit this week was 26 miles per hour (71 in a 45), with several others that were over at least 20 MPH. Five of the 53 were for under 10 MPH, with those being 8 and 9 MPH in residential areas. So, if anybody tells you they got a ticket for going 2 or 3 miles over the limit in Lytle, ask to see the ticket.
Things & Stuff
Been a real dry week since the last rain but, supposedly there is some coming in.S Just got to wait and see but, pray for it in the meantime.
See where the adults in the room aren’t gonna let the guy who thinks he’s a girl swim in the Olympics as a female. That was a no brainer decision if ever there was one. Guess the Olympic Committee does not subscribe to the loony liberal left.

You Are Going to Wear That?
Up front, right off the bat, I am going to admit that my Bride, AKA The Boss Lady, married WAY DOWN on so many levels when she said YES over 3 decades ago. She has far more style, class, and good taste than me in so many areas.
But rather than further confess ALL my shortcomings, this TALE deals with clothing selections. It did not take very long for me to notice my “clothing options” had changed considerably not too long after we married. The Closet did NOT look the same at all!
Cold Brew for You –
Summertime Coffee Refreshment
The cold brew coffee craze is here. According to the National Coffee Association, U.S. consumption of cold brew coffee increased a staggering 300% over the last seven years. Cold brew coffee splashed onto the American scene about the year 2015. Introduced by Starbucks, cold brew soon caught on with other stores like Whole Foods and Dunkin’ Donuts. Cold brew can now be found, brewed and bottled, in almost every grocery store and gas station in the country.
For the uninitiated, cold brew is not simply iced coffee. Iced coffee is regular hot brewed coffee that is cold. Cold brew coffee is brewed cold, more like a coffee tea. The cold brewing process brings out various flavor notes, different than regularly brewed coffee. Cold brew coffee is typically less acidic than hot coffee or iced coffee, and because of the extended extraction time, has a higher caffeine content.
Cold brew has existed since the 1600s in Japan, where it is known as Kyoto Coffee. It is believed that Dutch traders may have originally developed the process of cold brewing coffee at sea and carried it with them to Japan.
French soldiers in the mid-19th century returning from Algeria brought a form of cold brew back home with them. This concoction soon found its way into French cafes. There is evidence that Civil War soldiers in this country enjoyed a similar version of cold-water coffee, affectionately known as camp coffee. In the early 20th century, cold brew coffee was even a thing in Cuba, where a special cold water brewing process was used.
My wife is a big fan of cold brew coffee. What follows is our redneck recipe and method with instructions. No special equipment is needed. All that is required is some good coffee, a Mason jar, a refrigerator, some clean kitchen towels, and a bit of patience.
