Looks like Hamous is stealing Sqauwk’s pix again.
-
No sir. I set this one up yestidy. Saw it on the Apalachicola Riverkeeper site.
-
#4 I saw the picture a dozen times yesterday, Squawk had it but so did True Florida Crackers. I have a few of the Apalachicola post pop up from time to time, from Florida Crackers, I guess. 😉

If you click on the photo it will take you to the background story.

Hey did y’all hear that it might rain tonight, better hunker down. . . . . .
-
Dooooooooooom!

Turn around, don’t get chomped!

There doesn’t seem to be a whole lot of there there.
Does anyone else suspect that the LSM may be over hyping a bit?
-
I don’t know what kinds of sins you people have committed to provoke these endless floods from the skies, but every time y’all get rain it shows up here 3 days later and I’m getting a little tired of it and so are my plants.
Repent !
-
better hunker down
I feel woefully under prepared. I have not been practicing my hunkering. I am a bad hunkerer.
-
Re oc pic and story: I read a story about this one dude that kept a rattle snake and fed it live mice. One mouse the snake never ate and it lived quite some time in the cage with the snake, every other mouse before and after got eaten promptly. That one mouse was the pet of the snake.
Strange stuff happens out there. -
Liberals are afraid of this never ending rain. Their RFU’s are in danger. No ark in sight.

#13 Bone
I had a friend with one of those snakes. Kept it in a transformed TV cabinet (you know, from a time years ago when TV’s were big contraptions and not flat screens?). Then one day, a mouse fought back. That snake never touched that mouse again.
We nicknamed him “Mighty Mouse”.

Good morning Hamsters. We have to wait until early tomorrow morning for the tropical whatever to arrive, but there likely will be some showers today. Suddenly it’s gotten cloudy and rather dark after a beautiful sunny morning thus far. Shower just started that I hope will pass quickly.
We have a small gathering (7) of crows in the back yard and playing the drums on the garden room roof while they squabble over cookies I threw out in the back yard yesterday morning. They were sugar free chocolate chip from HEB, bite size for a person and the most tasteless, blah thing with only a few small chips that were equally tasteless. Guess they marinated in the dew over night, and this morning the crows found them. They are fighting over them in the yard and on the roof. No accounting for taste I guess.

Make sure you’ve got plenty of bottled water and batteries, and don’t forget to wrap your pipes. I warned you all about this back in April or May.

I’m bringing this forward from late last night. The technology involved will absolutely amaze you:
One easy way to get contraband into a prison:

I keep thinking “Animal Farm” as I read this story about water usage in California:
People “should not be forced to live on property with brown lawns, golf on brown courses or apologize for wanting their gardens to be beautiful,” Yuhas fumed recently on social media. “We pay significant property taxes based on where we live,” he added in an interview. “And, no, we’re not all equal when it comes to water.”
/snip
“California used to be the land of opportunity and freedom,” Barbre said. “It’s slowly becoming the land of one group telling everybody else how they think everybody should live their lives.”
Pot, meet kettle.
“I’m a conservative, so this is strange, but I defend Barbra Streisand’s right to have a green lawn,” said Yuhas, who splits his time between Rancho Santa Fe and Los Angeles. “When we bought, we didn’t plan on getting a place that looks like we’re living in an African savanna.”
So don’t move to a place that is, essentially, a desert.
Funny how the rules for everyone else doesn’t apply when it hits close to home.
-
Aren’t most of Califorincatia’s water problems self inflicted, by not installing more dams, tearing down other dams, and standing firmly against nuke power which would be ideal for massive desalination plants to make potable water from sea water? When will the people of the granola state finally recognize cause and effect?
-
Another story of CPS run amok. This baby is finally thriving – despite CPS but is going to be adopted out anyway, instead of going home to a loving mother and father? WHYYYYYYY!
-
#21 – That story does not pass the sniff test. While CPS probably has no right to be involved, the idea that the doctors and the hospitals are conspiring against this poor lady just doesn’t make sense. I’m as big a skeptic of CPS as anyone could be, but I just think there are some missing components to this story as presented.
-
#21: Those up there seem to think that parents are only there to produce the baby, after that the baby is the state’s responsibility. It is a power play that really needs to end in a huge lawsuit, naming the party’s responsible, the stupid Dr. who refused to listen to the parents, the DFC or whatever that agency is named, the individual at that agency and the supervisor jointly and severally liable.
This sort of thing is just the beginning and I expect it will get worse. -
#22 El Gordo
This actually happens. I know personally of a story where CPS tried to take a baby from a loving home when there was a valid medical reason for the baby’s condition. I’ve heard via a reliable source of at least two other similar cases. And that’s just from what I’ve heard going on in Texas.
CPS has incredible power, and those people think they know better than the parents how to care for their children.

Dang, I kilt da blog again.

Apparently he believes the Republican ticket is going to be Lindsey Graham and Carly Fiorina.
I think.

There will be no hunkering in this house. Hunkering leads to all kinds of abhorrent behaviors.

Well;
I guess being trans-racial isn’t as good as being trans-sexual.
If only she’d had an operation adding parts where they weren’t before, she could have kept her job.

Office Help and I were just discussing the upcoming panic over the weather. “Save your milk jugs!” I said. “There’s no need to rush to the store for bottled water. Just fill ’em up from your tap.”
“Wow, what a great idea,” she says. They go through 2 gallons of milk a day at their house full of people. Plenty of water storage capacity.
I still have “hurricane food” set aside from the last event. Matches, candles, lights, etc., – no need to panic. I never understood the last minute herd mentality towards the grocery store shelves.

Lefty Latina Van De Putz loses San Antonio mayor’s race.
Amazing. -

How sweet it is. Texas Tribune must be choking over having to write that article. Guess the Castro twins weren’t able to help much. If they tried that is.

Amazing.Kind of a kick in the teeth to all those Izzy-Ilks who think that running Creepy Castro as VP will mean that Hillsy will take TX, innin it?
-
Conservative talk radio guy Joe Pags seemed pretty happy with the outcome. Me, I didn’t even know there was a mayoral race in San Antonio until the results came out.
-
On faceboook I just read about Shannon’s wife’s medical condition. My thoughts and prayers are with them.

Wouldn’t Mchael Jackson be considered trans racial even though he never claimed to be white?

Re o/c pic:
Didn’t the raccoon ever read about the Gingerbread man?

But it was not just lower-than-expected turnout that hurt Van de Putte, according to her backers. She was up against a woman who had galvanized the city’s social conservatives through her opposition to a nondiscrimination ordinance in 2013, and the city’s fiscal conservatives through her decision to effectively kill a plan to build a streetcar system downtown.
IOW, she appealed to Socially Conservative Black Protestant & Hispanic Catholic Democrats, as well as Fiscally Conservative White Folks.
Not Hillsy’s strong suit——-

21 thru 24
If it was not Massachusetts, I would be more skeptical. Their child protective agencies are like Gestapo and the horror stories are numerous.

The front moving northwest from the Baytown area just reached Chez Harp. Glad I got my couple of errands done this morning, it’s raining raccoons and crocs right now.

Today is turning into a very productive day. My CPA will be happy with me when she comes back from vacation.
I hope.
I’ve been know to break Quickbooks.

#30 – We need to buy / rent / borrow the winner’s electioneering team for a Houston Mayoral candidate!
Does H-Town even HAVE a conservative interested in City Hall?

REPENT OF YOUR HUNKERING BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE
How might one atone for hunkering? I mean… I’m asking for a friend here… because… you know… I would never hunker myself or anything…

#44 – Well there’s a vendor that will N E V E R see the color of MY ‘hateful greenbacks’ *NO smiley*

I would like to congratulate Rachel Dolezal for being the first human being to go black and go back.

Instead of trying to reduce women to the odorous and hairy ways of men, feminists would do more for women, and the world, if they got men to start shaving their pits to strive to be hygienic as we are. -Bre Payton at The Federalist
You first, GJT.

This picture on MIchelle Malkin’s site really reminds me of this scene.

I’m thinking that if we (conservatives, Republicans, sane people) just allowed these freaks of nature called Democrats to just run wild with their social programs, their race and grievance mongering, their PC bull stuff, etc. and ignored them; focusing instead on the real issues facing us today – economic, financial, military security, and the like, that they (the Dems) would eventually run out of steam and turn on each other. Why do we allow the Dems to bait us into these traps rather than just ignoring them all together. That’s called “passive aggressive” and there is nothing that PO’s an agitator more than being ignored – they eventually have to duct tape their heads to keep them from exploding, and there is nothing more fun than watching a liberal’s head explode.
-
Excuse me, but did I hear that the county and the city are pulling out all the stops for weather, and this low pressure area has not even reached TD status, much less tropical store or hurricane or the like. How much more government do we need to scare us into demanding more government. Ridiculous.
-
As I reported earlier, there just ain’t much there there.
ONce again the fear mongers get egg on the face. -
I wrapped the dog and put new batteries in my pipes.
-
If there’s any hunkerism being practiced in my house we’ll be hunkering up. But I’m not feeling very hunkerous.
-
Ya’ll go ahead without me, I’m hunkered out.
-
I don’t think its right a tropical depression don’t get a name.
-
I hear hunkering off causes blindness.
-
Good news is Sweetie bought in now I gots a six month supply of Vienna sausages.
-
A TD does get a number though. And all storms are named Shelia Jackson Lee anyway.
-
I don’t think they can name any minor storm after anyone lest they dis that gender, one of ’em anyway.
-
At least we got to see the floodgates at Freeport lowered on Ch. 11. And David Paul was trying to counter the almost breathless hysteria of the news reporters over the storm that is currently very disorganized and likely to only bring a lot of rain, while he still urged people to be careful.
-
I have to say, I’ve never seen even these local weather wonks get this worked up over a disorganized low pressure system before.

Earl’s old girlfriend, Blaze Starr, has kicked the bucket. Which reminded me of Blaze Foley, who used to say he was the bastard son of Red Foley and Blaze Starr.

#63, GJT. Most here probably remember when hurricanes only had female names. ‘Who ever heard of a himmicane’ was the joke. Now they have opened up a whole new can of worms. What gender, transgender, politically correct freak is going to sue because having a storm’s name is construed to offend them. This could be a fun contest. How would the media rate a storm based on gender, the potentially affected, what Republican stone walling politicians contributing to global warming caused this to happen, did Boehner cry and wet himself enough to fill California reservoirs, etc. Replace storm names with acronyms. Instead of I think this one might be called Bill try CRHID. Caused by Republicans Hope Illegals Drown.

We have Bill! We have Bill!

Neil Frank is back on 11 for the occasion and is doing his best to keep folks from hitting the panic button while he advises sensible precautions for coastal residents and those in lowlying areas inland that can flood. Bill will bring a lot of rain.
G’night all. We’ll see what tomorrow morning brings.
