It seems that we’re finally getting a reasonable chance of some of the wet stuff falling from the sky. It’ll take more than one rain – or one week of rain – to catch us up, but I’m not taking any chances.
And I hope to find this.
And not this.
Be glad I didn’t pick the obviously “happy” versions!
When the rain starts, I plan on grabbing some iced tea and sitting on my porch for a while.

#60 Texanadian. Prayers for the safety of your home and for your peace of mind, especially while you’re gone. The late news tonight is not comforting re: the wildfires and forced evacuations. #93 Shannon. How about some midnight skulking to shut off the stolen water and disconnect the hose to the neighbor’s pasture? And take pics to document it. Hope… Read more »
MegletTx Where the He!! have you been? Dang good to hear from you, sugar. So you’re heading to France? I’ve been lurking…reading posts but not getting into comments much cause I’ve been so freaking busy. Today hasn’t been much good for getting anything accomplished cause I’m so tired from partying all weekend (went to a friend’s wedding out of state… Read more »
Proof that Sarah Palin (or someone we know) is not very bright,

Got me a new Kindle. Gonna go play with it now
Man was Monday a crappy day! Got roped into a meeting that started @ 8 and went on until 11:55, broke for lunch and was to regroup @ 1, luckly I had a stupid class to go to. 😀 I never thought that I’d be HAPPY to go to one of the manditory safety classes, live and learn I guess.… Read more »

I’ve had the occasion to buy some nice jewelry recently and stumbled into I.W. Marks a couple of times and all I can say is:
If you absolutely, positively want to overpay for jewelry, then I.W. Marks is the store for you.
Crap. 100.FIFM
I meant to say “Oh frabjous day, calloo, callay” or whosomever it goes.
Nite all.

Crap. 100.
Well, I’m heading to my tv room to watch Law & Order: Los Angles. It’s advertised as a new episode, but I expect it will be a new, unaired, in-the-can show left over from before they did the cast shake-up. This series made my cut, but it seems to be teetering on the brink of cancellation. I wanted to see… Read more »
Acouple years a go, I had a pith helmet.
It thmelled bad.
Hey Meglet! Good to see you.
#95 phil
Even if he did that, he’d still be a much better Prez than Obammy.
If tRick Perry runs and becomes president, will he greet himself on an airport tarmac and hand himself a letter telling himself to secure the border?
#89 Pyro
Oh yeah, when I think of pith, I think of Pyro.
We’re approaching a 50 year record drought. Several people are calling all nite long Sat complaining about low/no water pressure and have been intermittently since first week of May. And this A Hole is hooking a hose to my flush valve/ hydrant at nite and watering his pasture. I hope the utility nails him to the wall. I have some… Read more »
Texas of course. 😉 And no, not there yet, if my visa is approved I won’t be moving until September 5.
It is getting close to my bed time; 4:45am comes real wissin early. Hasta manana. Pricess Leia please don’t give me crapola about missing accents and tildas, yo no se cuando las chingaderas estan.
I can’t believe some of you don’t read all of the comments. That hurts my feeling.
#80 mh42
Pithy, no?
I strive for a very high pith to byte ratio.
Dude, I was going to mention that but when I hit refresh you beat me to it. I lived a few blocks from the store at the time. There was another story about the same time. Maybe a few years earlier. A large power user learned to disconnect and reconnect their electrical loads to match HL&P’s metering. They would unload… Read more »

Hey, who does? 🙂
But how could you step past Pyro’s glorious comment w/o a look-see?

Well, I didn’t blurt out the name but since you have…
mharper,
Now you know my deep dark secret. I don’t read all of the posts and links.

#79 mh42,
Yup, that was I.W. Marks. I agree. I never have and never will do business with them. Not that I’m much of a jewelry buying kind of guy anyway, but when I do I patronize Shannon Fine Jewelry on FM1960. Great folks over there.
Meglet;
Good to hear from you. I thought you were already in France. Huh.
Do you mean the United States or Texas? 🙂
Hamous #64;
That was a good article to tell Linsay to shut up.
And Steyn is NEVER annoying. 🙂
#76 Simple, Pyro posted that over the weekend. See his unforgettable comment “Man, this steak tastes like crap.”

Theft of any public utility is a low-minded crime. Taxpayers and honest ratepayers are picking up the tab for your shiftless a$$. Soon after I moved to Houston in 1981, there was a case of a local jeweler who was caught with some sort of meter-modifying gadget or bypass on the electric meter at his store. I think he just… Read more »
did someone just loudly break wind?? Oh, it was just the simpleton, never mind.
HIYA BACK SHANNON!!!!!!!!!!!!!! 🙂 🙂 🙂 P.S. to those who know me I go this Friday to the French consulate to apply for my visa. I fully expect to be denied. It’s been a complicated process (I should blog about it, I’d have to repeat the story less often) but it seems France isn’t so keen on people coming to… Read more »

#72 Shannon Hubby told me of a case recently where an apartment building was being sold. Buyer asked about the utility bills. “What bills?” the Seller asks. “Water, what’s the water bill run?” Buyer specified. (Guilty look) “I don’t get a water bill,” Seller said. Buyer notified the city that something funky was going on, and he declined to purchase… Read more »
HIYA MEGLET!!!!!!!!!!!!
This fire thing is serious. Some dear church friends’ home burned to the ground in that Plantersville fire last night and now two more families we know are being evacuated. PLEASE dear God bring that rain ALL WEEK. I would also like to point out that perhaps someone was careless with the embers from their charcoal pit but I know… Read more »
Speaking of thieves…..
Theft of water from a water utility is a FELONY.
I nabbed one Sunday morning.
70 texanadian
I agree. Too close for comfort.
A co-worker lives over that way and is preparing to evacuate.
The far eastern range of my water system is across the river in Washington County on SH 105.

If that is considered a success, then a drug to “cure cancer” 1% of the time would be a real blockbuster. Unfortunately I don’t think the real success for stage 2 cancer and beyond is much better than that, if at all.
Olby moves to Gorezilla’s failed network tonight where he’s being billed as savior: By what measure Olbermann will be judged a success is not clear. On MSNBC he averaged more than a million viewers per night. Current, which is available in 60 million households, averaged a mere 23,000 viewers in primetime in fourth quarter, according to Nielsen. Available in 60… Read more »
This is from deep in the “No sh-t Sherlock” dept.
The title says it all. Why would he want a strong US president when he can get away with murder with this one?
Steyn can be annoying but he’s got a point about Lil’ Lindsay: Alternatively, here’s a suggestion for Senator Graham: Why don’t you shut up? Not permanently, but just long enough to: a) reflect whether this apparently reflexive response of yours is really appropriate for a citizen-legislator in a self-governing republic; b) articulate a rationale for the Libyan mission that would… Read more »
Video: Is Sarah Palin too dumb to be president?
You gotta watch the video. Somebody (apparently iOwnTheWorld.com) did a lot of good cut and paste work to make it.

Are people really that braindead and careless? Guess that is a stupid quesion.

She looks a whole lot older than 16 and he doesn’t look 51.
