No Hamsters?!?
Mornin’ Gang
I sure hope Texpat is doing OK, but he is a Texan, he’ll survive. 😉 -
Sugar cane Dr Pepper is the best.
I’ve not had a sody water in about 30 years but Dr. Pepper was my favorite growing up.
-
I think I had a 7-Up last year. My favorite as a kid was Nehi (also founded in Georgia).
-
The real Nehi, was great, I don’t think that they make it anymore. I also liked Crèam Soda.

Good morning Hamsters. Dawn’s rosy fingers are on the horizon, and it’s 46 at 6:30 under a clear sky. Can see your breath this morning in the nippy air.
Our recent trip took us south to just 9 degrees above the Equator, and the sky was quite different from home, with Orion’s belt stars shining brighter than here and 12 o’clock high, and Jupiter was stunning. Of course there was virtually no city light pollution in port and none at sea so much that is unseen here was seen and greatly appreciated.
-
I thought it was long gone too but actually they do. They are a brand of the Dr. Pepper Snapple group. I’m sure it’s not that old timey Nehi.
-
All this talk had me concerned, so I checked, and you can still get it.

A place that has the temerity to say no hamsters and no hipsters on the same sign will not stay in business long.
The difference in temperature outside my house in Glorious Copperfield when I leave shortly after 0600 and when I arrive inside the loop just north of San Felipe around 0700 is amazing. sometimes it is more than 10 degrees. -
That dang sun is just an amazing creation.

Dude, it takes you an hour to get inside the Loop? I useta make it to Sugar Land 25 miles from home in 30 minutes. What traffic-burdened route do you drive? -
Uh oh, looks like Winter Storm Juno was a no-show in NYC.
/Bwa Haha Ha! -
We escaped the bad part of the storm. Long Island, Connecticut got the worst of it. The storm was as brutal as they described, but the shifting volatile conditions made it especially hard to predict. You could watch satellite feed and see the huge storm shape change dramatically.
We probably have only about 6 inches more this morning, but it’s light steady snow now till mid-afternoon.

#10 Mretiredandnolongergivesatoot: I take hwy6 south from just north of 529 down to I-10 (7 miles and some change )head east usually to enjoy the sun rise . The hwy 6 portion is usually the most problematic followed by the ramp to get on I-10.
-
Why you don’t go down Queenston?
-
Or Barker Cypress.
-
There is just something that grates on me to go west in order to go east. The light from Pine Forest to turn on Clay can be very problematic as can the one from Queenstown left on Clay.
-
#15: Barker Cypress is not a good option as it really stacks up, it is worse than 6.

The Boy Scouts of America continues to bar gay and lesbian adults from serving as leaders in the organization, even after lifting a ban on openly gay youth.
California’s judicial code of ethics bars judges from holding “membership in any organization that practices invidious discrimination on the basis of race, sex, gender, religion, national origin, ethnicity or sexual orientation.”
But as a lawyer points out
In California Proposition 8 passed affirming that California could bar same sex marriages. The California Supreme Court upheld the law under the California constitution. The opponents of the law challenged it in Federal Court in San Francisco and were assigned as the judge Vaughn Walker, a gay man who was in a long term relationship.
Ya gotta love the left coast

Even I have to agree with MOST this comment
Republicans actually have new ideas. They don’t always articulate them well, but they pretty much believe in having a middle class, private ownership of guns, and shrinking the government. That was not the way it was 42 years ago when Republicans really were the party of big business; companies have since switched allegiance to Democrats as companies realize regulations are a greater insulation from competition. Gun ownership was not a Republican issue 42 years ago, nor were Republicans particularly interested in reducing government. They were small growth government; many had voted for Medicaid, Head Start, and the rest of the LBJ Great Society road show.
Today’s Republicans are different. They are young. They have ideas.
BTW Democrats are whiter than Republicans

#10 – Trust me – Copperfield to just short of the Galleria is just a sucky angle – no real good way to go (highly dependent on the time one needs to go and arrive)…………it is what it is
BC have ya ever tried Eldridge? (not that I expect that to be any better during the height of rush – jus curious)

I’m still tryna figger out why go left on Clay. Might as well go all the way to 10 for all the good that’ll do.

#21 squack
Those guys are a buncha lefty loons.The original “doomsday” clock was intended to be an indicator of the likelihood of us wiping ourselves out via (accidental) nukuler war. IOW the closer to “midnight” the clock was set, the more likely (/imminent) nukuler war was.
Reagan really freaked them out, because they thought he was always up for a good nukin’ of the Russkies. They never thought to consider that making the consequences of a nukuler launch rilly rilly rilly bad would serve to reduce the chances of nukuler war because everyone would be that much more careful.
By their (lefties/climate change alarmists) own admission, climate change is a very gradual process that will take many decades, unlike nukuler war, which could – in theory – take a couple hours.
The greatest threat we face currently that they should account for is the nutters in Iran or elsewhere in the Cradle of Civilization getting hold of a nukuler device, because the concept of massive retaliation really doesn’t apply/mean anything to them.

#22 Squawk
I saw the headline yesterday but hadn’t read the story. Figures that would start in the UK. The whole topic makes me think of GJT’s mother-in-law. May she rest in peace. -
Speaking of healthcare, when my 85-y.o. GP retired a year ago, my knee doc gave me 3 recommendations for younger docs in the area. Before I had signed up with anyone, I got notice that a group had taken Old Doc’s practice in his same office and kept same staff. So I took the easy road and kept going there for another year. I liked that doc even though he was only there in the mornings. Now they are closing that office altogether.
In the intervening year, my 1st choice of the 3 recommendations no longer takes new patients on Medicare. I have an appointment with #2 in 3 weeks.
Take home lesson: Don’t get old.
Corollary: Unless you have to. -
I see this morning that the blizzard of the century turned out to be a bust, much to the dismay of the broadcasting elites. Even the NWS meteorologist has apologized for causing government officials to over react and shut down several states (they had to blame someone you know). Anyway, that got me to thinking (which is always a dangerous thing), so I wanted to be the first to remind you that hurricane season is only six months away, so it’s never too early to stock up on bottled water and batteries. We will probably all be killed by some weather related phenomena sooner rather than later unless Congress or the President take action now. Remember the Boy Scout motto and “be prepared.”
-
Hurricane season?? Are you kidding, I still gotta wrap my pipe!

Thanks for remembering my dear MIL Ms 42.

Just a couple days over 5 months, math boy.

The Onion’s take on Winter Storm Juno:
NYC Mayor: ‘Reconcile Yourselves With Your God, For All Will Perish In The Tempest’
-
Rush is harassing all the weather persons and weather reporters on their hysterical prediction for the blizzard that wasn’t in NYC, but the big barrage is reserved for crazy Mayor DiBlazio and any other elected city officials nearby who had terminal cases of the vapors, mainly vapor lock of the brain, and made idiotic pronouncements. Can you imagine the cost to the airports and airlines around the country dealing with some 7700 cancelled flights, never mind the traveling public holed up in unaffected airports waiting for planes to come out of the lands of the blizzard? Gad. We are so fortunate to have made it home last Friday before this debacle happened.

Seeing unconfirmed reports about Bergdahl sentencing…

I guess the bad news is he won’t be hung for treason.I don’t think we’ll get any confirmed reports of his sentencing until after the unconfirmed charges have been confirmed and then the unconfirmed trial ends.

Usually, I find one or two I disagree with on internet lists like this one, but there’s not a one I would take off.

Some of them I wouldn’t include. They weren’t ruined by classic rock radio because they were never any good to begin with.

Granted.
I miss the early days of Classic Rock, before the suits who thought it was dead discovered that people still wanted to listen to it. The stations that played it were prone to playing stuff like Loan Me A Dime or Children of The Sun or even this one.
-
Let’s not forget the commercials that put rock n roll music in the ad and play it so many fargin times you wanna blow your brains out.

At least they don’t overplay Marshall Tucker stuff.

There was a brief blip in the early ’70s, before the songs were “classic”, and FM rock stations were “underground”. That was the best time. Gainesville had WGVL. Mount Dora had WORJ. Back then they were known to play whole sides of albums at a time. By the time we got to about ’76 the party was over.

Here’s one from those days.

Real nice dot connecting here.
HEADLINE:Foreign Firm Funding U.S. Green Groups Tied to State-Owned Russian Oil Company
Anti-Frac NAZIS are being funded by Rooskie oil interests; what a surprise.
A shadowy Bermudan company that has funneled tens of millions of dollars to anti-fracking environmentalist groups in the United States is run by executives with deep ties to Russian oil interests and offshore money laundering schemes involving members of President Vladimir Putin’s inner circle.
One of those executives, Nicholas Hoskins, is a director at a hedge fund management firm that has invested heavily in Russian oil and gas. He is also senior counsel at the Bermudan law firm Wakefield Quin and the vice president of a London-based investment firm whose president until recently chaired the board of the state-owned Russian oil company Rosneft.
In addition to those roles, Hoskins is a director at a company called Klein Ltd. No one knows where that firm’s money comes from. Its only publicly documented activities have been transfers of $23 million to U.S. environmentalist groups that push policies that would hamstring surging American oil and gas production, which has hurt Russia’s energy-reliant economy.
Do you think that if it were Rooskies colluding with Conservative interests to engage in ways to make the price of gold go up that the LSM would leave that stone uncovered as they have with this connection?
As I have long suspected, these envirowacko groups are merely watermellons, green on the outside and commie fargin red on the inside.

On account of the DJ was severely baked.

Note On The Fridge
The wife left a note on the fridge:
“It’s not working, I can’t take it anymore! Gone to stay with my mother.”
I opened the fridge, the light came on, the beer was cold.
I wonder what the hell she is talking about?
-
For me the best radio days were the late 70’s to early 80’s. I lived where I could listen to KTRU Rice radio. They played some really good stuff before they went industrial and then went just plain weird. Beat Farmers, Blasters, X, O’Kanes, Rank & File, Lone Justice, Long Ryders, BoDeans, The Replacements, and a lot more. My older brother listened to Buffalo Springfield and CSN&Y on an 8-track in his 70′ GTO. I blame him.
-

Yup. KPFT had some good shows back then, too. Jay Lee and Billy Gilbert played some good music.

Wasn’t Chuck Roast a DJ? I used to know the guy who co-hosted that show.

Yup. Funhouse.

Stupid, stupid people. Don’t know whether to laugh or cry. Or check their voting records. And cry some more.

As I recall, GoDaddy’s Superbowl commercials have always been pretty raunchy. But apparently they went too far this year. In their commercial they pretended to sell a puppy!

Of course he has. At least until after he wins the election——-
Don’t vote for anybody about whom it is said “Is acceptable to both the Establishment and the Tea Party.”
-
I don’t think Scott Walker is acceptable to the establishment at all. Too gutsy about conservative principles that he puts into action, not just mumbles about. Wisconsin budget is balanced, around $3 billion budget deficit left from Diamond Jim Doyle (D) erased, property and state income taxes lowered, business climate greatly improved with increased jobs, public school teachers unions brought to heel and their collective bargaining reined in (now have to contribute to their medical insurance and retirement), mandatory union dues (that go to Democrat causes) made voluntary resulting in a huge drop in dues paid. Wisconsin is well on the way to becoming a right to work state (the Republican dominated Lege planning to move on that this session). All this and being elected Governor, then beating back a recall election that was as dirty as anything Illinois or unions could invent, then being reelected again in 2014 by an even larger margin than the first two elections.
Wisconsin is no longer a blue state, which national media types keep missing either deliberately or out of ignorance. Republican majorities in the Assembly and in the Senate increased in 2014, and Republicans were elected to all but one statewide office. That one was Secretary of State, held by a scion of the Lafollette clan from Jurassic Park. Wisconsin Senator Ron Johnson is a strong conservative supporter of Mile Lee, Ted Cruz, Jeff Sessions, and Rand Paul. Five of the eight Representatives are now Republicans, four conservatives and Paul Ryan who’s a right leaning moderate. In 2014 a conservative replaced a Democrat, and another conservative replaced a moderate Republican Representative.
Recall that The Hill is not a moderate or right leaning publication, indeed quite the opposite.
