Second!
So where is that freezing rain? It’s been raining and kinda’ drying off now with the north wind, temperature 47, it’ll have drop through the floor to freeze the roads over. But we’ve seen that before.
Mornin’ Gang -
Looking back over yesterday’s thread, I noticed Texpat’s post on Barrel Racer, Molly Powell. This is not surprising, she ‘s from Alberta, some of the best Cowboys/Cowgirls are from Canada.

Yesterday, Hambone won the internet;
Just saw aoc’s speech. Near as I can figure she wants to outlaw billionaires so that everyone gets ringworms.
Last night, she was on one of the Fox shows so I had to get my wife to come watch, unbelievable.

According to the radar, looks like Shannon may be getting a little freezing precip of some kind.

An automatic watch is another term for a self winding watch. As far as a smart watch goes, I specifically purchased a Fossil because it does NOT look like a typical smart watch. Those things are Ugly! Mine looks like a traditional watch (band, case, buttons) with the exception of the LCD face. I even chose a digital face that mimics a traditional watch face. Since I always want to see the time on the watch face, it is always illuminated and this the battery only lasts 24hrs. I could set it where I tap the screen to wake it up and I might be able to get another 24 hours out of it.
BTW there are also hybrid watches that are closer to a traditional quartz watch. What makes them “smart” is the movements on the interior of the face can display the number of text messages or emails. Whenever you get a text, the dial will rotate one position over. It is a compromise of sorts between new tech and traditional watches.

Oh… and Chelsea Clinton is expecting baby #3. I didn’t know she had already had two.

Now we’re making progress with these OC pictures. We’ve got freezing no rain out here. Even freezing rain would be welcome. SOTU shenanigans seem to be heating up. Seriously, the Speaker of the House has prohibited members of the Executive branch, including the President, from setting foot in the Capitol building? I’m not alarmed about this at all. It needs to play out to the end. If not, the eReps will cave because they always cave. Trump may turn around and declare the US Capitol unsafe or something. Should be interesting. Limp wristed Rep may complain a little bit, but they won’t do anything – Trump will do something. Anyone anywhere in the USA who has a Rep representative should be calling his congresscritter and demanding that they stand up and denounce the Speaker and her actions. I thought we got rid of a bunch of those weak sister Reps but there are some of them still around I suppose. And spare me on this working across the aisle BS. They’ve got to be crushed. Have a good day, and RIP Ruth. At least she was able to cast her vote on all the cases before the court this session, even before they were heard, all on the law and the merits of course.

RBG should wave hi to McSwine while she continues to pretend to be alive.

Max slept in today and didn’t want out until 7:00, instead of the usual 5:30. I was happy to accommodate him.
I guess there was freezing precip earlier because there were some sleet pellets stuck to the wheelchair ramp.
We must have had a lot of rain because it looks like a swamp out there, again.
The new rain gauge doesn’t work well, still sitting on the island in the kitchen. -

For those on FB, I’m pulling the trigger.Yeah… don’t blame you. Other than promo for bands and keeping up with distant relatives there really isn’t much purpose for FB for me. It’s a cesspool.

I don’t think I have looked at faceborg twice since I turned off the notifications on my phone3 months ago. I don’t miss it at all.

RUN, PETE, RUN ! cried the impassioned throngs filling the streets.
I’m telling ya, these yahoos from the boondocks are cluttering up my run to be Democratic nominee for president in 2020.
Pete Buttigieg, a young Indiana mayor with a budding national profile, announced Wednesday he was forming a presidential exploratory committee, adding his name to a rapidly growing 2020 Democratic field.
“I launched a presidential exploratory committee because it is a season for boldness and it is time to focus on the future. Are you ready to walk away from the politics of the past?” Buttigieg tweeted early Wednesday, along with a video.
…with a budding national profile ?
What ?! Oh, and he has a husband, too.
I want to hire his PR firm. They have more guts than a government mule.

Unfortunately, LD puts pics of the adorable granddaughters on FB. That’s where I get my family fix.
And I do a lot of ranting, also.
I have also extended a job offer to a woman I met who’s life has been destroyed by an identity thief.
-
I opened a Facebook page so I could see my daughter’s FB page years ago. I’ve never posted a single thing there. I never even tried.
In the beginning, I friended a few people and then became deluged with requests from strange people I never heard of so I stopped doing that.
I really should just kill it.

I just spewed coffee on my keyboard.
German Chancellor Angela Merkel and French President Emmanuel Macron signed a new pact between France and Germany on Tuesday, that they promise will pave the way for the two countries to form a “European army.”
The two leaders inked the Franco-German agreement in the ancient western city of Aachen, Germany, vowing to build a “common military culture” between the two nations.
In a speech during the signing ceremony, Merkel declared that the new Aachen Treaty “contributes to the creation of a European army,” but warned of rising nationalism and populism in Europe.
The only political couple more delusional and ridiculous looking than Schumer & Pelosi is Merkel & Macron.
-
#16 – What about NATO? you may ask. NATO is there to protect them from the Russians. Their own internal little army will be to protect them from their citizens. An armed police force if you will, except well armed. didn’t some other guy start out that way in Germany a while back?

My FB feed is mostly car racing stuff. Some family and you knuckle draggers. I knew which family, friends I wouldn’t want to hear their stuff everyday so never hooked up to begin with.

Regarding the “Free House” in Millarville. That is really pretty country. On the foothills of the Rockies, rolling hills. I use to ride the scooter through that area frequently. I would have built a smaller house and got more land.
In other news, reports of snow in the Woodlands.
Did you know that before the invention of the crow bar, crows had to drink at home?

Hoyer breaks with Pelosi, says he would welcome Trump on House floor for State of the Union
Hoyer wouldn’t be making this move if he didn’t know Pelosi is weak right now. If she caves, it just might start the cascade of falling support.
Personally, I want her to stay in the job so she can continue to insult the American people on a daily basis.
-
Trump supported Nancy for that position for a reason. He needs a foil for 2020, and that’s who he chose.
The old guard Dems have a challenge on their hands with the energenic, photogenic, ignorant AOC running around babbling like a magpie. Young people around the country, whose college educations are actually indoctrinations, are taking this in, like it is the gospel. Hoyer may see his last shot at greatness before his eyes and want to take a shot at it – but he knows that if you shoot at the King, you best not miss.

one crow by himself is fine, you get a group of ‘em drinkin’ tho….

Morning, chickadees. Brrrrrrr! Nasty weather. I have plans to attend a workplace reunion tonight in Missouri City, as a farewell to a US citizen with a Brit accent, who has been retired longer than I have, but is getting ready to abandon the USA and move back to his native England. It’s been a while since I used Google Maps to scope out a long drive, and it now makes some goofy assumptions. I was astonished to see an odd path drawn, and the prediction that it would take 7 hrs and 29 minutes to get there. Well, the default “method” was WALK!!! That also explained why no freeways were used.
-
Well it was 47 degrees when I got here about 6 AM, and it’s 38 now, but I doubt we’ll get down to freezing rain on this side of town, ground too warm for that.

We have a two time NFR world champion barrel racer (2004 & 2005) from Bellville.

An automatic watch is another term for a self winding watch.
Yup, I mentioned my heavy Invicta yesterday. It has an old fashioned weighted flywheel that winds a traditional spring. A buddy of mine has a Seiko with a Piezo element that charges a capacitor and drives a Quartz movement. No batteries needed.
Oh and I’ve been wearing a watch since first grade, I feel naked without it, my pocket knife and now my Leatherman. I’ve been caring a Leatherman for only about 25 years. -
BTW; a bunch of Crows is called a “Murder of Crows”….You’re welcome,……

The Houston connection….
After hitchhiking across America, J.C. Crowley and his restless spirit returned to Houston where he became active in the folk scene. In the early 1970s, a 36-song demo tape of his original songs fell into the hands of Jesse Ed Davis, then the lead guitarist for Grammy-winner Taj Mahal. Impressed, Davis encouraged Crowley to come to Los Angeles and try his luck. Never one to refuse the call of adventure, Crowley headed west where he met musician Peter Beckett at a Hollywood party. Soon afterward the pair founded the group that would eventually evolve into the pop-rock band Player. An executive at RSO Records heard some of Crowley and Beckett’s songs and signed them to a record deal. The company, then one of the top labels in the business, notched nine No. 1 hits in 1978, including one by Player.[2]
That song was “Baby Come Back,” which held the top spot on the Billboard Hot 100 for three consecutive weeks.[3] With infectious riffs and a chorus that remains instantly recognizable, Player’s debut single went on to find its place in musical immortality. It has been featured in movies (A Guide to Recognizing Your Saints, Transformers, TV shows (The Simpsons, Cold Case) and national ad campaigns.

There won’t be. Its called St. Petersburg now.
-
There will never be another siege of Stalingrad either.

I don’t know. Maybe if the Germans have the French and their new Muslim rulers on their side from the get-go…

Moscow will be renamed for that famous Russian operative, Donald Trump.

Well, some of the smart money are saying that Trump will show up at the House at the appointed time, speech in hand, and give the SOTU then and there.
http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3722246/postsI think that San Fran Nan is overplaying her hand with this Speaker of the House equals President concept, but she’s also planning to drop the feminine card on him sometime. In doing so of course, she has to be seen as a victim and a member of the weaker sex. Do those feminazis out there want that? We’ll have to get out the playbook again to see what trumps what – does black trump female, does tranny trump gay, etc. I’m for sure not up to date on how those things all line up.

Leigh Ann Schultz ?! Really. Good for her. I didn’t know she was involved in cutting.

Meet Martina Arredondo whose home sits on two acres near the Rio Grande River on the Roma Bluffs.
Arredondo’s siblings call her racist for supporting President Donald Trump’s plans to secure the southwest border from illegal entry.
“I agree with President Trump over the border wall, with him sending all these troops. I back him up 100 percent. Why? Because we are being secured. And it angers me when people say that he’s doing a stupid thing, just spending money that is not supposed to be spent.”
She said she didn’t vote for Trump in 2016, but he’s got her vote in 2020.
“He’s doing what other presidents were not able to do. He’s putting his foot down and a lot of presidents didn’t do that,” she said. “That’s why people are mad at him, because he’s enforcing the law? Good for him. … We needed somebody to enforce our laws. We needed somebody to speak for us, to bring our economy back, to bring our jobs back, to take away Obamacare.”

Update to my #42 above

I just saw the so called “musical” line up for the Soup-er-Salads Bowl.
They should call the halftime show What it would Sound like if Music took a Dump.

I gotta wash my ears out after that.
Is Brother Squawk really Bun E. Carlos?:)

Who could make this stuff up ? And, yes, that’s her real name.
A Russian hooker, who was in prison for prostitution in Thailand, claimed that she had proof of Trump/Russia collusion. She has now been sprung from prison and returned to Russia, and she admitted that she made the whole story up in order to get Robert Mueller to spring her from prison. She claimed that Trump had colluded with Oleg Deripaska, which is ridiculous since Deripaska was working with the FBI. But, once freed, she owned up to the hoax. Nastya Rybka was arrested on her return to Russia and appeared in court where she apologized for the hoax. She told the judge that she was just trying to find a way to get out of the Thai prison.

Big doings in Venezuela. Head of their Congress declares himself as Interim President to remove Maduro, Trump recognizes the new government.

Fun times in DC. Nancy now rules the capitol building and all who come and go. This is going to be more fun as Trump pranks with her more and more, and keeps pulling the scab off everytime it starts to look better. As it stands right now – looking at the long con – Trump will never give in to Nancy, and the only way the Dems get out of this is by replacing her with someone a little more moderate who is willing to take credit for solving the problem by blaming everything on her. It will take a while, but that’s the only solution that I see for now.
Seriously, SJL getting in trouble – that’s impossible no matter what she does. The Dems are losing it. Look for Steny to offer himself up as a solution to all the problems and to restore order.

This looks like it could be fun

I don’t remember the last time, if ever, I saw Ace of Spades this angry. The dude is on a rampage and his number one target is National Review.
This from the right sidebar of his site.
Donate to the National Review.
It takes resources to smear children and expose them to Antifa harassment and street-vengeance. National Review is doing its part to help Antifa find your wicked children and bike-lock some respect into their racist, lower-class, State University At Best skulls– but will you do your part? We can scalp-hunt your children for as little as $5 per day.
Please, give. We are only being paid so much by Google and other tech giants and filthy corporate interests and that’s all supposed to go from bizarre defenses claiming that obvious monopolies are not monopolies and besides, Monopolies Are Good and Competition is Wasteful and Stressful.
If we could destroy your children’s futures for free, we would. Believe us, we would. But we can’t.
Give.And Ace is right.

Somebody has been shooting what I assume is a commercial on the Farm Roads around Cat Spring all day today. The one constant which I have encountered among all the folderol is a pristinely shiny Penske Truck Rental eighteen wheeler. Must be for them.

Looking like lefty activist Nathan Phillips is not a Vietnam veteran as some, including him on at least one occasion, have claimed. They’re now using a phrase I’ve never heard – he is a Vietnam-times veteran.

Found this over yonder:
One of my friends told me about a powerful lesson in her daughter’s high school class this winter. They’re learning about the Salem Witch Trials, and their teacher told them they were going to play a game.
“I’m going to come around and whisper to each of you whether you’re a witch or a normal person. Your goal is to build the largest group possible that does NOT have a witch in it. At the end, any group found to include a witch gets a failing grade.”
The teens dove into grilling each other. One fairly large group formed, but most of the students broke into small, exclusive groups, turning away anyone they thought gave off even a hint of guilt.
“Okay,” the teacher said. “You’ve got your groups. Time to find out which ones fail. All witches, please raise your hands.”
No one raised a hand.
The kids were confused and told him he’d messed up the game.
“Did I? Was anyone in Salem an actual witch? Or did everyone just believe what they’d been told?”
And that is how you teach kids how easy it is to divide a community.
Keep being welcoming, beautiful people. Shunning, scapegoating and dividing destroy far more than they protect. We’re all in this together.

New York is lighting up One World Trade Center in pink to celebrate Cuomo signing a bill legalizing abortion at any time, effectively for any reason, right up until the moment of birth.
Indeed, I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just: that his justice cannot sleep forever.

Simply bizarre. -
The production crew is now set up on the absolutely most dangerous double curve on FM 949 between Cat Spring and Millheim.
There are stationary movie cameras on either side of the road. There is a ten foot diameter drone with at least a dozen spokes and movie camera, poised for takeoff. I assume they are waiting for that perfect moment at sunset. -

CodyToadie also attempted to disrupt a sacred Mass during his “peaceful trip” to DC. -

I believe Peyote Phillips is more like a peyote times veteran.
In other words he probably uses peyote much of the time.
He must be hallucinating since his story has changed about 100 times since the incident.

It strikes me that if Cement Head Phillips really thought his land was “occupied”, he oughta ‘splain how it is that his ancestors didn’t fight hard enough to keep it, yet the earlier ancestors fought hard enough to take it from whomever was there before they showed up.
As to the Vietnam claim, he’s a bit young to claim that status.

Where’s Ruth? I heard they had her iced down in an open topped beer cooler over at a 7-11 over on Harrisburg drive. Any truth to that rumor?

The gang in Austin is rearing to go.
It was extremely snide and really unbecoming for a member of the staff, the lieutenant governor’s or my staff,” Seliger told host Jay Lesson. “I didn’t say anything of the sort, and that assertion is disingenuous and I have a recommendation for Miss Sylvester and her lips and my back end.”

But yet that song is still 100x better than anything the Stooper Bowl “bands” will spew forth.
A better and more musical Stooper Bowl halftime show would be to have the NY Mayo Stain belch the alphabet backwards.

On his way to what looks so far to be a quick confirmation, Attorney General nominee William P. Barr made a firm commitment to reverse course on federal marijuana prosecutions. A Trump/Barr Justice Department would not prosecute marijuana cases provided state law is being followed. The many thousands of Americans who depend on the marijuana industry for income, enjoyment, and medicine can breathe a little easier.

gto, ogler, now hammer head. A neighbor passed, quite a character. Tis what he called me though he was more interested in talking to my wife. For my 58’th revolution around the sun she gave me a shirt with a San Leon and Hammer Head logo. Anyway. And German Chocolate cake

I made it there and back alive. The drive through weekday Houston traffic took me 80 minutes. Never would have made it there without the GPS. It was dark in Missouri City by the time I drove through it to a neighborhood where I could not begin to read any signs. It was fun to see ~ 20 people I had not seen for 6 years or more. Drive home took 35 minutes, and I never would have gotten out of that neighborhood and back onto a freeway without the GPS.
