(Yes, the same Mayor Whitmire who says his top priority is public safety.)

Frank Glover obituary, Plano, TX
www.legacy.com
James Franklin Glover was born into this world on January 25th, 1941, in Ashland, Oklahoma. He left this world on Sunday, January 28, 2024, at the age of 83. Frank (as his family and friends called him) was born at home to his loving parents, Nina and James Glover. Soon enough, he was gifted with two wonderful younger sisters, Donna and Sherry. Especially in his later years, Frank enjoyed telling the story about the time he and his family moved from McAllister, Oklahoma, to Greenville, Texas. They came by train when he was about 5 years old. He said he was more than disappointed as they crossed the Red River when he did not see cowboys riding horses everywhere. He was very upset that Texas did not live up to his wild west expectations. …
… Frank could never sit still. Ever. Over the years, he enjoyed playing golf and running. He then took up arrowhead and fossil hunting all around Texas. This eventually phased into his love of hiking mountains at Big Bend National and State Parks, the Guadalupe Mountains, crossing the Grand Canyon multiple times, and hiking several 14’ers in Colorado. Once his knees began to give out, Frank purchased his first road bicycle and discovered his love of riding. He participated in three RAGBRAI rides across the state of Iowa, several annual Bike Tour of Colorado rides, and more rides than we could ever count with his friends around the state of Texas. We hope his friends Mohammad, Steve, Russ, Allan, and so many others know how much he enjoyed his times with them. …

Our First San Antonio Adventure

Dave and I arrived in San Antonio on February 1 and settled into our lovely little home in a diverse and interesting neighbourhood where we will be living for the next month.
Yesterday we went on our first adventure.
We rented bicycles and set off to explore the River or Mission Trail which takes cyclists to five missions built by the Spanish in the 1700s. …

Day 23:Austin: Barton Springs, local inspiration, and great beer Saturday February 3, 2024, 12 miles (19 km) – Total so far: 739 miles (1,189 km) We had incredible thunderstorms last night. Left the air clear and the sky full of beautiful clouds and temps near 70 today. A great day to explore the city on bike.
We picnicked on the river and then rode to Barton Springs, a federal protected spring fed pool along the Colorado River. Across the river, we went to the Umlauf Sculpture Garden. There we met Gus the groundskeeper and a beginning sculptor and …
