One more thing, while I’m on a roll, I’m guessing that Y’all have the star on your DL and that is part of the Homeland Security BS and you can’t fly without it…Dayaam, I did have to leave my Tin-Foil Hat at the cleaners, and they’re closed today.

Stumbled across this, and found it fabulous!

I went there to check and although it recognizes me, it just tells me this:

Special Runoff Election to fill a Vacancy State Representative District 148

But doesn’t tell me when my registration expires. Plus that isn’t the district I’m in anyway. So I have no idea what’s up with my registration.

I assume I just have to show my DL. The last few times that I have voted, they ONLY wanted my DL, but then I was at Freeman Library, not my precinct, I don’t remember the last time that I didn’t vote early. Oh, and the DL secret decoder code is embedded into your license,….can you say 1984? 666?? One… Read more »

Speaking of pigeons flying rats, I guess that y’all knew Cedar Waxwings love Juniper berries? There were only about 6,000 in the huge Cedar by the house today, they tried to paint my truck yesterday but it was just far enough away that they only bombed it few times. The Cedar is absolutely covered with the dang berries. FWIW; I’ve… Read more »

Dodgers, Angels, Padres, Mariners, Rockies, Twins, Brewers, Reds, White Sox, Cubs, Blue Jays, Indians, Rangers, Tigers, Marlins, Phillies. We don’t have an office in New York but there are Yankees fans everywhere. I think the only place I haven’t heard from is Toronto. I think they’re just too nice.

I feel your pain. My company has locations in many baseball cities. The phone rings, I see the internal number and know why they’re calling. I just sigh, pick up the phone, and take the medicine. Dodger fans are the worst.

I’m trying hard not to be a homer with the Astros cheating stuff, they did it, it ain’t fair. If  the Patriots did something similar, I’d be PO’ed. But I’m not buying the buzzer stuff, the  only evidence they got is Altuve not wanting to take his shirt off. And it’s settled the cheating was simply the garbage can banging… Read more »

I had a lot of bird seed out on the patio that got soaked in recent rains, and was germinating in place. Just went out with a utility dustpan/scoop and scraped it all up and dumped into large plastic dog food sacks. Shame that we are not getting the number of hungry birds we used to. Pigeons in particular rarely… Read more »

It appears that Kansas City is going to the Super Bowl, as the Chiefs are
defeating the Oilers’ successors the Titans 35-17 in the 4th quarter. And it
is cold there, can see everybody’s breath on the field. It’s 20F according to the KS weather folk. Brrr.

I’ve never made Gumbo with chicken, always crawfish, shrimp, and sausage, sometimes crab. I only learned, a few years ago, that Gumbo wasn’t seafood, it could be anything and everything.

ALWAYS bring beer!

Well, the only fancy beer I have is some local stuff that I got for the kids, Folklore, Front Porch and Snipe Hunt. The Boy found Snipe Hunt when he was here for Christmas 2015, both my kids/spouses were here then…Dang 2015?!

BTW; What’s in your Gumbo, and what time do I need to be there, and, do I need to bring beer?

Classic chicken and sausage gumbo using andouille. An old coonass taught me shortly after I moved here. He said, “Make chicken & sausage or make seafood gumbo. Don’t done mix ’em up.”

About an hour. ALWAYS bring beer!

Decided to cook some gumbo today. I forgot how much I dislike making roux. Patience, patience, my friend. As you know the secret is HOT oil and stirring constantly, just when you think you’ve burned it, it is ready. I don’t mind making it but hey, I make white sauce, which is easier, I admit.

Shoulder Pillow required, Super Dave. I don’t own a 45-70, but I’ve always kinda’ wanted one, not real powerful by today’s standards, but a tried and proven round, even on Buffalo. The 45-110 was the Buffalo round of choice but the old 45-70 wasn’t far behind. FWIW; I do have a beautiful, Browning 1871, in 348 and it is quite… Read more »

Good afternoon Hamsters.
Back to winter we are, greeted by a delightfully chilly 45 this morning and only 57 now. Nice and very windy in spurts, acorns still bouncing off the garden room metal roof occasionally.
