Extraordinary story about Red Wolf Coyotes on Galveston Island.

In this case the video is superior to the lengthy text.

#68 – I seem to remember telling you all that the cause was related to incompetent women in positions of responsibility. ‘Nuff said. At least at one of the funerals they had a woman Admiral handing off the flag to the family of one of the sailors killed. That’s a job that women Admirals can handle, but keep them off… Read more »

I’ll close out the evening with something I came across that is also incredible, really alarming, and damned frightening.

But nowhere near as bad as incompetent US Navy officers.

These are our crews in the naval theater around China, our biggest enemy on the high seas ?

This is just incredible and really alarming. Damned frightening if you ask me.

Your United States Navy The probe exposes how personal distrust led the officer of the deck, Lt. j.g. Sarah Coppock, to avoid communicating with the destroyer’s electronic nerve center — the combat information center, or CIC — while the Fitzgerald tried to cross a shipping superhighway. When Fort walked into the trash-strewn CIC in the wake of the disaster, he… Read more »

I love potato soup and used to make a great pot of it. I don’t eat it anymore because it’s all carbs. I quit using Gillette products years ago as soon as Dollar Club and Harry’s went into business. I always thought Gillette’s pricing and marketing was monopolistic and hostile. I used to make a seriously good dirty rice, but… Read more »

I guess it had enough legs to kill the blog. Nobody has even criticized the way I make my potato soup without knowing how I did it like they criticized my cornbread even though I did it exactly how I was supposed to. I guess they all ran out to buy a new Gillette razor or eat some dirty rice… Read more »

Well, it turned out to be potato soup. I found some chunks of ham in the freezer and a bit of cheddar cheese, and via the instant pot, pretty good potato soup happened. Hardest part was peeling the potatoes. And I made enough to last for a while, so slaving over the stove is on hold for a few days… Read more »

I’m still pleased, after a few years, with my Harry’s shave set. Blades cost about $2.00 each and last quite a while – super sharp. So long Gillette. Another once good American company takes the gas. Current temp out here right now is 39 degrees, so it’s cooler than predicted. I’m plumb out of cooked pinto beans, home made soup,… Read more »

Use a safety razor. They practically give the blades away ($12/100 on Amazon).

I had my toxic masculinity shaved once.

I looked out the window towards the East where I can see the Galleria, Uptown, Midtown, Downtown, Chinatown, Med Center, NRG, etc and there is a haze over the city. It is something I typically associate with ground-level ozone and other assorted smog during the hot summer months. I wonder what is causing this haze.

GJT I love dirty rice (and beans too ) but the two just don’t go together to me. Welllll we will just have to do something about that.

Georgia has a lot of newspapers online and searchable. While doing genealogical research I’ve found some interesting minutia about my family. For instance, on the Friday before May 6, 1920, my great grandfather Charles and his son Ben (my great uncle) enjoyed a fishing trip on the creek. I also came across this report from afar in the Bainbridge Post-Searchlight… Read more »

Yeah I know your Cajun affiliations/background go deeper than mine but I worked the oilfield in South Louisiana lots in the 80’s and also my first wife’s dad was full fledge Coonass, her mom made dirty rice for every supper. I ain’t ever seen gumbo or etouffee served with anything but white rice. I… Read more »

You are right. I should go back and change that to raccoons. They are just there to eat whatever they can find and mess up the rest of it.

I know where there’s a deck they can live under, get free dog food, coy, and an attic to destroy.

I hear on the news that TSA is slowing down airport traffic out at intergalactic. Be nice if Trump started firing no-shows. Leading up to getting rid of TSA all together. These are just Nancy’s troopers in action – typical union thuggery.

I’ll never understand the liberals fascination with trains. These guys are claiming to be privately funded – except they will most likely need eminent domain powers to acquire their right of way. I don’t even want to get started on this boondoggle. Cheaper to buy every passenger a plane ticket or hire a private limo rather than build this train.… Read more »
