    Daughter started her new job yesterday. She was supposed to fly out from Midland on Sunday evening but the flight was delayed by the weather in Houston and the time kept on slipping until about 10 PM and they said it was cancelled, next flight out 4 AM Monday. She went home got a few hours of sleep and then flew to Houston Intergalactic. She changed clothes in her rental car and drove on up to the Woodlands. After that, the day went fine and my wife drove up to have supper with her last night. She’s going be here today and then, her and her new boss are flying back to Midland and the boss is going to drive her out to Pecos to pick up her new F-150 4X4.

    Very interesting panel discussion with the Polish journalist being the focus. She said the Germans and Merkel are suffering from some kind neurosis about immigration and it will lead to a catastrophe.

    The Poles and Hungarians formally informed the EU they will have no part of the German-backed immigration plan. Romanians and Czechs will probably follow suit.

    PC is a destructive cancer on society. The degree of destruction tracks positively with the degree of implementation. Ditto that with Socialism/Marxism/communism/totalitarianism/islamism.

    Remember the young man that worked with a manager friend of my son, that got shot?
    He got a visit from JJ Watt yesterday. He has another surgery today.

    Here is an article detailing how the commie-muzzie John Brenner infiltrated the Trump campaign using government assets.

    Brennan needs to face life in GITMO under lenient standards and the firing squad under reasonable ones.

    Another high pressure dominated dry day out here. Last fall’s rains never came, and spring rains have been scarce around here. But, for some reason, I guess that’s normal. Brother should be spread wide open from neck to stomach about right now as they go about swapping his original aortic valve with one made of bacon. We decided that the week he will be hospitalized will not require much help since hospitals tend to be adequately staffed, and upon his return home, his wife thinks that she will be able to tolerate him for two or three weeks before having to call for reinforcements; so I’m planning to go up there toward the end of June to help out a little. I told them I didn’t want to be up there just sitting around listening to him gripe but I’d come up when I could be useful, so that’s the plan right now. Got guests scheduled for next week, so need to get the weed blower out of the shed and clean the man cave, move the chainsaw off the kitchen table which sometimes doubles as a workbench and wash the tablecloth, and clear paths to the other bedrooms. I’ve acid washed the porcelain already to rid it of most of the hard water stains, so that’s progress I guess. Anyway, you all have a great day.

    OMG, we’re all gonna die. A sneak hurricane attack. It’s illegal to boot since hurricane season isn’t even open yet. They should definitely outlaw illegal hurricanes happening out of season. Let’s start a protest march with signs and stuff to get rid of illegal, out of season hurricanes. That outta do it.

    #9 – That is absolutely great.

    Back from the primary runoff. Only 1 race for me to vote on. Then came back by way of Kroger, intending to load up on critter food, but unfortunately they had no 20 lb bags of bird seed. I have 1 1/2 bags at home, should hold me for at least a week. Had another 0.5″ rain last night.

    Heard yesterday that Jack-in-the-Box sells 550 million tacos a year.

    Make that 550,000,004.

    I say we build a wall along the coast and make the Gulf of Mexico pay for it!

  13. El Gordo Avatar

    #13 – Don’t make fun of hurricane walls. They are seriously considering it in the Houston/Galveston area. And in order to get it done, they’ll tell us someone else will be paying for it. But if we have another Harvey where the water comes from a different direction, how is it going to get out? Oh yeah, just build a wall on the north side of Houston too. Hurricanes get a bad rap that is undeserved. They serve as Ma Nature’s ocean cooling system taking ocean heat and dumping it up at 50,000 feet where they need a little heat. And they distribute water to the inland areas to recharge lakes and aquifers. People like to live next to the water except when the hurricane comes. We need more hurricanes, not fewer.

    Yup. Hurricanes = global cooling

    Hurricanes are liberal.

    Because they try to make everything equal.

    So let me get this straight: when the planet gets hot we get more hurricanes that cool the planet, because they consume so much heat energy, right? If this is the case, we now need to force the D’s to spin in circles so that they can do their part to reduce global warming. Warming, cooling, climate change. . . . . .it is always changing – always has, always will.. . . . . .so relax, drink a beer and enjoy the day.

    Good late afternoon Hamsters. Another significant shower graced our place this afternoon, complete with some rumbling in the distance. Got almost half an inch from it on top of almost three quarters of an inch yesterday. Sprinklers can stay off for at least a week.

    It appears the bird family is intact on the top of the cabinet in the garage, as we’ve seen momma bring food two days in a row. Certainly if the babies had died she would not come any more. Don’t know if all three babies are still alive, though.

    California is going to self-implode. The state assembly is on track to pass free healthcare for illegals. I hope they do! That should draw illegals from all over the country.

    It serves them right for actually believing that socialist, free lunch for everybody BULLS–T! Too bad that so many correct thinking, innocent Californians are going to suffer for it.

    Surely that means an increase in normal folks fleeing CA to saner havens, and I guess Texas is a magnet for that. Just so it’s the normals coming here and not the nut cases. Maybe we need to set up screeners at our borders.

    That’s pretty silly. I could see if it was a chipmunk or nutria rat but a gator?

    Though an exodus of people from CA eventually will negatively affect the state’s electoral college numbers, but not fast enough to help very soon. Maybe it and Texas can eventually swap places in total numbers of electors.

  25. Hamous Avatar

    I dont want that many folks in texas. Plus the cognitive dissonance in “progressives” is malignant. They’ll flee Kalifornia then vote the same way here.

    Flarada residents left without power due to Zombie activities, according to the press:

    It was a Houston federal court jury.

    Don’t mess with Buccee’s.

    I, too, probably would have voted against Buccee’s. But I wasn’t there to hear the case and the judge’s instructions.

    Because of KHOU, the entire jury pool is anti-alligator.

    Well, everyone knew the zombies were going to show up in Flarda first.

    In Flarda’s defense, the early zombies were all originally from New Jersey.

    There are only a few pure blooded Flaridians left. All those NJ folks moving down there have infected the gene pool.

    Just like what the Cali’s are going to do here.

    Eventually we have to run out of old yankees retiring to Florida, right?

    Gator fan votes don’t count, nor were they allowed on the jury.

    After 200 plus years, they’re still coming, aren’t they?

    Well, the HouChron has another article about heart transplants at St Luke’s. This one is the sad case of one guy who experienced a series of hospital blunders, and didn’t make it. Again, a local writer + ProPublica. https://www.houstonchronicle.com/news/investigations/article/A-Houston-heart-transplant-faulty-equipment-and-12931871.php

    I’m glad.

    Every time I heard that wissing trash ad I wanted to reach through the radio and b-slap someone.

    I heard that Soros funded the Roberts.
