Dear EG, Thank you for telling us what you have been doing, and that you are as all right as is possible under this sad situation.

You can knock me over with a feather. More than 150 senior Russian officials have signed an open letter condemning Vladimir Putin’s invasion of Ukraine as ‘an unprecedented atrocity’ and warning of ‘catastrophic consequences’. The deputies said they were ‘convinced’ Russian citizens do not back the war and blamed Putin ‘personally’ for ordering troops into Ukraine in an attack ‘for which there is… Read more »
I had a lay down with one of my headaches this afternoon. They had pretty much disappeared but have come back in the last week. Today was particularly uncomfortable.
I am reading my okra book, and learning a lot more than I thought I would. It’s a much more versatile product than I knew. The mucilage has many useful properties. I had no idea it could be used as a plasma extender. It is also used in cosmetics and as a hair moisturizer. It is useful as an emulsifier… Read more »
#181 Yes, so far, 1883 and Yellowstone have no ties together as far as being able to follow. Of course if you knew the Yellowstone story you know the name and destination but that’s it. Taylor Sheridan has announced that yet another series, 1932 is in the works with an expected initial air date sometime in 2023, which would show John… Read more »

#169 GJT Final episode for 1883 tonight for this season. Dangit. Thanks for mentioning that. I finished episode 9 last night and I thought that was it for the season.

Hi gang – it’s me reporting back in from Big D.

If we wrote as clearly, concisely and eloquently as Lee Smith, we’d be rich and famous, too. Smith just pulls it all together and puts a nice bow on it.
Graf 6 from Lee Smith’s essay on Ukraine in #151. Why can’t the American security establishment shoulder responsibility for its role in the tragedy unfolding in Ukraine? Because to discuss American responsibility openly would mean exposing the national security establishment’s role in two separate, destructive coups: the first, in 2014, targeting the government of Ukraine, and the second, starting two… Read more »

EG, do you have help at BFF’s home in Dallas, or are you the designated batter for her family? Say, maybe I can get you to be the designated clear-it-all-out person for Chez Harp. (I actually hope to get all of David’s collections donated somewhere, and even some of mine, during this current decade.)

But Ernest Hemingway’s classic novel The Old Man And The Sea is the latest victim of today’s woke standards, with students warned that it contains ‘graphic fishing scenes’.
Then this should send them fleeing and shrieking in horror to their safe spaces.
