Good morning Hamsters. Mucho ground mist and a pleasant 73 at 6:30. Rain is merely a figment of imagination for today around our place. Two inches of shade would be welcome.
Ditto Shannon on the animal count. Get dizzy just looking at the pic.

Got an email from next door neighbor asking if I had coupons for her. Walked next door to drop them off. The grass was quite dewy this morning!
I’m watering my lawn but she isn’t. 🙁
So hers is going all straw-colored. 🙁

If the goats count, I see 4 wild animals.

Client of Sweetie’s offers cash for house, wants no inspection and quick turn around. Offer is a little less than another but seller likes the terms and accepts. Buyer all the sudden wants inspection two days before closing, doesn’t like inspection results and now is asking for repairs. Seller says nope, now they start all over again looking at houses again, not a dime made yet. Idiots.
-
Heh, one of the two houses she picked to look at has a contract, the other has multiple offers. Karma is our friend.

Barack Obama: US President Announces $1 Billion Commitment to Entrepreneurship on Visit to Kenya
Just what we need, with the USA flat broke and living on borrowed time and borrowed money. Let’s print another $1 Billion and give it to Kenya.
Also, how come this creepazoid announces crap like this, when Congress, specifically the House, has had no say in it?

Three goats and one hungrily watching the three goats.

I’ve seen a hungrily before. They’re scary.

One beast, three entrees. 😉
Mornin’ Gang,……..oops, I just missed morning. -
I can only see 3, it is quite evident that there is something that has caught the goats attention, however.

The hungrily threw a rock to divert attention.

I only care about a hungrily if it’s looking at me. They can look at goats all they want.

#20: That same thing darned sure applies to the JugEared Jackass in the White House. If one dares to criticize it, one is surely to be branded a raaaaaaaaaaaaacist
-
#20 Just another extension of his eminent domain philosophy. I want it (or don’t want it). So it shall be done.

Wait—
Wasn’t Trump just beingt Bold, and Brave, and Brash?
You know, like Obama is when he does the same thing?
Here’s what I’m seeing from the Trumpettes: If Trump does it, its good. If Obama does it, its Treason.
But the upshot is that they are made of the same cloth: Know Nothing Know it All Narcissitic Princelings who can’t be told they’ve done anything wrong and will crush you if you do.
-
I think once the emminent domain thing becomes common knowledge, and it isn’t yet, Trump will be done.
[edited]
When he starts getting pointed questions about this practice and how it absolutely screws the little guy, he will likely get even more prickly and it won’t show well. -

See how that works?

If I didn’t know better I’d say you were describing the bow down before him, love and adore him establishment Redumblicans like Boner, Stench and all the usual suspects that cave, grovel, lie and deceive to give The Devilish Creature from the Kenyan Lagoon everything he wants and vote to give him more power to wreck havoc and devour the country.

If the questions are legit, and the emminent domain questions are, he can only pull the temper tantrum once or twice more and then he will be done. If he tries to BS an answer, he is done. Either way, once that line comes up, he is done; it is just a matter of time.

So you get my point then: Trump is no different that they are. He’s just richer.

If dissing POWs doesn’t get some folks off his scent, nothing will.He won;t be done until those folks abandon him and stop defending him. Like the ones who are loving it that he stuck it to the Des Moines Register and saying thta’s something our politicians need to start doing—without realizing that politicians have been doing it for decades. Of course, these are the same folks who think nobody was talkingt about Illegal Immigration until The Donald got on stage.
And most folks don’t understand Eminent Domain.
-
Either way, once that line comes up, he is done; it is just a matter of time.
And once he’s done and one of the phony Redumblicans gets the nomination they’ll lose so big to the Helldebeest from the East in the election that The Grand Canyon will look small in comparison.
It won’t just be a landslide, it’ll be an avalanche.

Sarge, you really should start charging Trump some rent for all that space he is taking in your brain.
-
Of course, these are the same folks who think nobody was talkingt about Illegal Immigration until The Donald got on stage.
The establishment Redumblicans have been talking about it for 35 years. They just don’t do anything about it except see how they can keep busting the borders wide open to increase illegal immigration and keep Sanctuary cities intact like The Cornhole and all his pals want to do.
They are nothing more than The Creature’s useful idiots.

My deep thought for the day is: I love air conditioning! I like Houston but I would not want to live here w/o AC.
-
Air Conditioning, did you say Air Conditioning? Have I told y’all how much I LOVE my new 23 S.E.E.R A/C? 74 degrees in the house right now and plenty cool! That is because the humidity is 56, I had to run the old A/C @ about 70 degrees to make it feel this cool!….Oh and the “Houston Looting and Pillaging” bill came today, 2100 Sq Ft house, June 17, 2015-July 17, 2015, 1,201 KWH used, current charge, $165.76, balanced billing, $96.00. 😀

He also said that in a presidential matchup between Hillary Clinton and Rand Paul, he would have a tough time deciding who to support.
I think that tells us absolutely all we ever need to know about McSwine. He is a backstabbing POS.

Well a fretless doesn’t lend itself particularly well to Jumpin’ Jack Flash, but it sounds quite nice covering this one. Doesn’t work for all tunes, but where it does there ain’t nothing like that “mwaahh” from a fretless bass.

There’s a lot of “manufactured consent” going around And Trumpy’s gonna get in on the action.
What do you do when you say something that will turn most Veterans against you?
Several people listed as part of the “Veterans for Trump coalition” formed by Donald Trump following his incendiary comments about John McCain’s war record have denied they are part of the group, the Guardian has learned.
Trump’s campaign announced the formation of the New Hampshire-based group in response to criticism of the business mogul’s labelling of McCain, who spent five and a half years in a North Vietnamese jail, where he was tortured, as “not a war hero”.
A number of people were named as members of “Veterans for Trump” on Trump’s election website. “These veterans have pledged their support to Mr Trump in the primary, and they will be advocating for him,” a press release said.
But when the Guardian contacted several claimed Veterans for Trump members on Friday, three said they had never heard of the organisation and had not signed up as members.
So it looks like the Trump campaign formed a fake Veterans group to endorse him, and used the names of veterans who didn’t know their names were being used.
The Trump campaign announced the formation of Veterans for Trump after the 69-year-old business mogul was roundly criticised for mocking McCain’s military history.
“He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured? I like people who weren’t captured,” Trump said in a campaign appearance in Iowa last Saturday.
The Veterans for Trump coalition was announced six days later. The revelation that several “members” of the Veterans for Trump coalition had never heard of the organisation, let alone knowingly joined it, raises questions as to the legitimacy of the coalition.
On Wednesday, The Hollywood Reporter said it obtained an email that came from a casting company named Extra Mile offering actors $50 to attend the announcement and pose as Trump supporters.
According to The Hollywood Reporter, the email was sent Friday.
“We are looking to cast people for the event to wear T-shirts and carry signs and help cheer him in support of his announcement,” the email said. “We understand this is not a traditional ‘background job,’ but we believe acting comes in all forms and this is inclusive of that school of thought.”

And in other news Trump’s combover attacked a chipmunk.
It’s reported the chipmunk was just minding it’s own business, eating an acorn when the Trump’s combover attacked him.
The chipmunk is reported to be in stable condition but is deathly afraid of anyone with a combover. A hospital attendant with a combover entered the chipmunk’s room and upon seeing the attendant the chipmunk scurried up the IV stand, shivering uncontrollably.
After hearing the news of this unprovoked chipmunk attack, Oops tRick Perry said Trump’s combover is a cancer and offense to chipmunks everywhere and does not represent core Redumblican values which are exactly the same as the current resident Creature of the USA.

Good morning Hamsters. We have considerable ground fog at 7 that started out as mist hovering at ground level at 6. Sun’s trying to break through it high above. But it’s moisture so no complaints.
Yesterday for the first time in ages we had squadrons of skeeter hawks in the back pasture about mid morning doing their thing. Only the banquet is pretty thin compared to 6 weeks ago when we wondered where they were.

During a July 23 interview on the Lars Larson Show, Senator Sen. Dean Heller (R-NV) said that in June he “submitted an amendment” to the 2016 National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) “to give military base commanders the authority to allow service members to carry personal firearms.”
That was weeks before the heinous attack on Chattanooga, but he says the amendment went nowhere because Senate Armed Services Committee Chairman Sen. John McCain (R-AZ) “didn’t want the amendment as part of the bill and wouldn’t accept it.”

Best description of Trump by a talking head this morning:
“More liberal than any Bush; more slippery than any Clinton.”
-
#60, 62 Shannon
Wow. Good folk doing good whether those affected realize it or not.
Talking head produced quite a comment that covers neither Bush nor Clinton with glory and likely amuses Trump no end.

Here’s a rebuttal (and mockery) of a column from HuffPo, by a guy who claims to have a PhD in White Privilege.
http://chicksontheright.com/blog/item/30069-this-column-on-white-privilege-is-so-wrong-and-utterly-terrible-i-can-t-help-but-mock-it -
#62 Shannon: This goes to what I was talking about last night. Now the specifics of just how slippery (abuse of eminent domain, bankruptcy, etc) and how much he has promoted and paid for the advancement of abhorrent lib causes need to come out. Ted Cruz has agreed with most or all of the stated positions of Trump while saying absolutely nothing of the man or his character. When the counterfeit Trump is clearly juxtaposed against the genuine article Cruz everything will be clear and Trump is done, while Cruz is elevated.

Does anyone besides me think that appliances have become unnecessarily complex while providing little to no actual improvement on functionality?
Maytag is just the latest on my s**t list.
-
I agree Dood, just wash and rinse and how long is all anyone needs but all the bells and whistles I’m sure make the wimmins cooo, only to never use those cycles. But remember I’ve turned into my old man, I still don’t know why we went away from simple toggle switches to complex control systems. 😀

Funny thing is, my wife is ready to ditch this fancy thing for an old school “non-smart” washer. I’m about there too, but I have one more part on order to replace before throwing in the towel.
I have no problem with something being made more complex if there is a real, tangible benefit to it. Just seems to me that a washing machine now doesn’t do anything all that differently than one from 30 years ago. I guess I’m turning into the old man myself. GET OFF MY LAWN! 🙂

HEADLINE: ISRAELI POLICE ENTER JERUSALEM HOLY SITE, BLOCK ARAB YOUTHS
/snip
Micky Rosenfeld said police received prior warnings that masked Arab youths were barricading themselves inside the al-Aqsa Mosque armed with rocks and fire bombs. He said the youths planned to attack Jews visiting the area Sunday for Tisha B’Av – the Jewish holiday marking the destruction of ancient Hebrew temples.Throwing rocks from an elevated position is deadly to say nothing of fire bombs. Imagine the uproar if it were something like Israelis shoot rubber bullets at rock throwing Arabs. . . . .
I think a more appropriate headline would be something like:
Israeli Police prevent yet another terrorist attack from Arab Terrorists. -
# 67,68
I agree.
Here’s hoping our 2006 Maytag washer and dryer last at least 20 years and the repairman still has parts for them. The washer has 17 cycles of which I use maybe half. The dryer isn’t as nuanced so I use most of its cycles. Haven’t had a problem with either of them yet. But I clean the dryer lint filter after every load and poke a skinny brush down the tube leading to the dryer vent tubing every so often. The washer gets wiped out with a paper towel after every load so there’s very little gunk collecting. They look practically new inside and out.
Our kitchen has the original double ovens and cooktop with vent hood, and the second dishwasher is a 1993 model. They look like new, except of course dated. We’ve had three fridges in 50 years, current one and newest (2006) still chugging along. It has an icemaker and water through the door feature. The others didn’t. The house is 35 years old.
We’re keeping the mostly obedient simple things as long as we can. Do not need a smarty pants mini-robot thinking it is in charge, confident that garbage in /garbage out is a clear and present danger.
-
And I will not be buying a front loader again.
-
And the next fridge will be a bottom freezer. Whether she agrees or not.
Period.
End of story.
Dammit. -
Why would you place at eye level the compartment accessed the least number of times per week? Thereby forcing you to stand on your head to reach 30-40% of the daily needed contents?
I’d like to torture that guy.I don’t care what the trade offs are.
Period. End of story. Dammit.
-
#80, 81: the solution is simple and elegant, if a bit expensive:
A stand alone fridge
A stand alone freezer
Just find a place for the freezer that is not too far away and don’t worry about what the fashion nazis say about that extra unit. Stand alone units fix all the problem of which you speak and you get more usable space in each. -

Top loaders might be old fashioned, not hip with designers, and likely less expensive, but they are much more comfortable for anyone with back issues or balance issues. Never mind they’re easier to see into, pull clothes out of, or place stuff on when the lid is closed. It isn’t as though they’re wringer washer designs, one step up from washboards that were one step up from pounding clothes on rocks.
-
front loaders supposedly use less water and are easier on the clothes.
An owner friend of mine stated that ” with a front loader you move the water through the clothes and with a top loader you move the clothes through the water”
Makes sense to me. -
Ted Cruz speaks eloquently on the Senate floor regarding Senate decorum and again destroys the opposition (who of course happen to be his fellow R’s including our very own John Cornholio)

Bout 3/4’s of the way doing a couple beer can chickens and diced up potatoes in a foil packet on my new to me vertical gas smoker. Thing stays right there at 250 degrees just like I want it. Got some apple wood chips, never tried apple before, we’ll see.
Didn’t have time to go into Tomball to the HEB so went to Brookshire Bros for the chickens. Their regular whole fryers were just nasty looking so I picked up a couple Smart Chickens until I saw the price, four bucks a pound! Eighteen dollars a chicken! I figured I was gonna smoke the smart out of em anyway so I went down to Arlen’s. They had just what I needed.

“More liberal than any Bush; more slippery than any Clinton.”
Said Ron Fournier on Meet the Mainstream Ministers of Propaganda Press with Chuck Todd.
I wonder which candidates Mr Fournier votes for come election time?
-
#89 phil:
It pains me to agree with any member of the mainstream press, but that’s an excellent characterization of Trump. I agree with an awful lot of the things he’s been saying lately, and goodness knows his lack of, . . ummm. . tact. . . is refreshing. But if you look at his record through the last 6 years or so he’s been all over the place. And he’s still not totally conservative. He’s endorsed the concept of universal government health care; he’s for gun control; and he’s the ultimate crony capitalist.
Let’s be grateful to Mr. Trump for bring up the level of public debate and forcing some of the other candidates to take positions. But surely we can find a candidate who has a bit more gravitas.

Well, we headed up to Lake Livingston this morning, to look up an old dear friend of mine that I’ve not seen in 28 years. He moved off to Florida and returned to Livingston around 12 years ago and we talked a few times but lost touch of each other in the cell phone age. Mike is just as nutty as ever and we reminisced about old times and tried to catch up on life somewhat. We trade #’s so we’ll not let so much time slip by again. Taking the leisurely/scenic route from Shepard to Cold spring and below the dam we drove right by the “Dam Liquor Store”.
😀 -
fat albert, play along with me here. Assuming you support him, what chances do you think Ted Cruz has of getting the nomination?
-
I been to the Dam Liquor Store and its a damned fine sight to see with all those dry towns up there!
-
#92 GJT:
Just to play along (I’m not sure who I’m supporting yet), I’ll make a couple of observations:
1. At least Ted Cruz has won an election before. That give’s him a big leg up on Trump.
2. Cruz appears to be consistently conservative. Once again putting him way ahead of the Trumpster.
Whatever chance Cruz might have, it’s better than Trump’s by an order of magnitude.
-
#66 GJT
That was hysterical.
-
#89 Phil
I’m guessing ole Ron probably won’t vote for anyone who’s been indicted on the D side. Too messy.
-
#94
fat albertWell you’re waffling so I can’t make my point, but I’ll try anyway.
In my eyes we are done but Ted Cruz gives me last chance hopes to at least getting off the socialism throttle and righting the ship. I don’t give him much of a shot but if by some chance the country gets in the mood to shake things up, Cruz will be the man not Trump. In a Cruz/ Trump match up, Cruz wins hands down, if Cruz gets no traction neither will Trump. No Cruz, we get Dole/McCain/Romney anyways so third party run by Trump or not it does not matter, we’re headed down the same path.
In other words, if you’re scared of Trump, it’s over anyway.
-
Trump crap is just a phase anyway, we need to act like we’ve done this before.
-
Trump is serving the purpose of a blunt instrument and he will fade away because he will step in it much worse. His presence separates the casper milque toast establishment SOB Rs from those of character and that is a good thing.
-
Today we hit 95 out here, and the breeze was absent for most of it. Ugh. Now as sunset approaches in the northwest, the breeze shows up. Front and back porch thermometers read 90 at the moment. Usually they’re down around 85 by now.
We need a very large foot to kick that high all the way out of the state.
