Well, it’s check out time out here in the sticks.  You all have a good night now.  Nite nite.

My 7th grade Texas History class did a field trip (from Abilene) to San Antonio to see the Alamo, the San Jose Mission, and other sites we learned about IN Texas History class – ending up at the Witte Museum/Brackenridge Park – and pedal boats… so fascinating an activity that the (7th grade) boys began to play pirates – ramming their pedal boat into another, boarding and capturing the hapless boat… til the boats drifted apart whilst one of the guys was “boarding” his captured vessel – and he fell in that oooooky green water, which (surprisingly enough) was much… Read more »

Somebody once wrote a book called To Kill a Mockingbird. I don’t think it ever sold any copies and faded into oblivion.

Got outside today for a while.  Some of the potted plants needed a little TLC after last night’s storm, and I got a new knock out rose bush which is supposed to be fool proof after my others died, so I put it in a big planter pot. Hacked around on some new cactus plants trying to sprout up out back, treated a few ant beds, and generally messed around outside.  Felt good to get out and exercise.  Grass is slowly starting to get a little green showing, but it’s going to take it a while, and we are going… Read more »

I’m not even sure what paddle boarding actually is.  It doesn’t sound like much fun to me.

I think the first and last time I ever got into a pedal boat was at Aquarena Springs in San Marcos back when I was about 9 years old (circa 1960-61).  I recall it was a veritable stupid experience with me wondering why grownups would bother to invent anything so boring.

Lots of tears and grandstanding about what happened in Uvalde from the politicians but 0 tears shed for the 1000s of children that have been killed, sex trafficked and raped because of open borders.

Dead bodies found almost every day down there.
Property destruction almost every day.
Country being destroyed which will impact children’s lives negatively for decades to come.
0 tears.

The Vampyres are pathetic.

We watched last night. I have been amazed that Marty Bird tolerates her BS at all. He may be a brilliant money launderer, but he sucks as a human and a man.

I refuse to follow the coverage and reaction to the slaughter in Uvalde. Amen! Wife and I will catch another episode of Ozark, we’re about halfway through the last season. BTW; You may think that Navarro or Darlene are the most evil folks on that show and might even include that Lady Lawyer, Helen that was snuffed in the last series. BUT the most evil one of the whole damn bunch has got to be Wendy Byrde. There is nothing she’ll not do to advance her power including killing off her brother.

My #48 Correction; It was the Mayor of Uvalde that called out Francis and I can’t quote him but he basically said “I can’t believe that you’re such sick SOB that you would come here just for personal political gain”.

I belong to a small group from my former parish who keep in touch and pray for each other. One of the women – not one of the original group or I may not have wanted to be in it – is a hardcore lib. Her husband, when alive, was a royal pain in my a$$ during my ministry years at church. They are two “entitled” individuals, true lib believers, and she is totally run by her emotions. Let’s just say that having a discussion about the shooting has been….challenging. Especially via text messages. I’d slap her but I can’t… Read more »

#42 Shannon, I had to remind myself that I’ve been retired for over a year now because I’m afraid I might know what color ambulance that was… and would go ballistic… after 28 years I do understand not getting a meal break, and going on a “long transport” but… so instead – thank you for handling it in the most effective manner possible – case management knows where the tender painful spots are

I know I have not discussed this here…… but I am so far ahead of the curve I am lapping people. The WHO Treaty Is Tied to a Global Digital Passport and ID System Onward and upward to a one world government. The WHO recently announced plans for an international pandemic treaty tied to a digital passport and digital ID system. Meeting in December 2021 in a special session for only the second time since the WHO’s founding in 1948, the Health Assembly of the WHO adopted a single decision titled, “The World Together.” The WHO plans to finalize the treaty by… Read more »

I was stunned to get a jury summons in the mail today. I was looking all over it for a number to call and tell them I am 78 y.o. What I found was the internet address where you can provide that info online these days.  I think it’s probably been 12 years since the last time I was summoned, and in fact picked for that jury. Of course, my age does not automatically exempt me, and if it weren’t DOWNTOWN at 7 a.m., I might have signed up for it.

Got out in the somewhat muddy flower bed and grubbed a few weeds, planted a couple of more pepper plants which originated as seeds from one of my salad peppers.  Expecting a new rose bush from the little brown truck today, and I’ve decided to initially plant it in a large pot rather than in the ground.  The two that are in the ground I’m pretty sure are really dead, but I’m leaving them for the time being and plan to replace them in February.  Found a few any beds that were forced to the surface by the rain, so… Read more »

There was quite the interesting phenomenon in Nashville on Sunday: There must have been a big collegiate softball tournament or a lesbian convention or something because they were everywhere. Hundreds or thousands of them all in the Broadway area. That being said, everyone was behaving them xir its selves.

#47 YES I saw that, today Francis O’Rourke just made damn sure that he would NOT be the next Governor of Texas. I didn’t think he had a chance now I know he don’t. Screaming at the Press conference just to make political points to the whack-job left. One of the old guys on the stage called him stupid SOB, (not the abbreviation). He was escorted out by several officers but I wish they’d tackled the bastard, threw on the ground and handcuffed him. Only about 30% of the complete IDIOTS would have a problem with that. ~SPITS~

Just heard a transformer blow a few streets over. Not too hot today, so must be squirrel related.

Those things explode quite impressively. Loud. Like, REALLY loud.

A Center point employee told me they hate our neighborhood. It’s either branches or squirrels.

When Judas Pence showed up to campaign for Pontius Kemp in Georgia I knew the fix was in.

They stole the election for the Wooden Dummy in Georgia in 2020 and still won big fair and square yesterday?

C’mon man!

What person who voted for and supports Trump would vote for the candidate Judas Pence campaigned for?

The Hell?

No way those two Vampyres, kemp and rafflesburger, won fair and square and by that huge of margin.

Just another sham election rigged by the blood sucking Kentucky Swamp Turtle and the Deep State Rino company.

Mo Brooks squeaked into a runoff in Alabama.

Yup, Katie Britt almost pulled it off @ 45%, Mo Brooks 29% and Mike Durant 23%.
I reluctantly voted for Mo Brooks and will again in the run-off but Britt is likely to win it all. She was an aide for Shelby and that gives her some credentials or so it seems.

I finally got around to watching the video of Dietrich Bonhoeffer’s Theory of Stupidity. I read all the text yesterday but the video is an added bonus and it shows perfectly the modern Democratic/Progressive/Communists Party along with the Lamestream Media.

27 Tedtam Yes, he did and this is a huge development. Francis Menton also mentions this article he wrote in 2017 on the same subject. When I began this blog in 2012, one of the things I had been pondering for years was the extent to which much to most of the operation of the U.S. federal government ran directly counter to the Constitution.  Every federal officer, on taking office, swore to uphold the Constitution; and then from day one proceeded to ignore it completely.  Good friends of mine would go into jobs where everything they and everyone around them did… Read more »

I believe Childers touched on this briefly in the C&C a few days back.

So hopeful that this administrative farce of a “judicial system” gets hacked into little pieces and thrown into a fire.

Just saw this over yonder, and it is so true. Our Lady of Akita is an approved apparition of Our Lady, who came to warn us of Bad Things to Come. Gregory is one of those pro-abort, pro-gay best buds with pachapapa cardinals. He has a…”questionable” history himself. No wonder he refused to honor the ban and honor Nazi Pelosi. Cardinal Gregory (pictured left) in D.C. refusal to back Archbishop Cordileone’s ban of Holy Communion to Pelosi highlights the division in the U.S. Hierarchy on the grave, moral issue of abortion…Are we in the times spoken of by our Blessed… Read more »

TOK is closed today since they wanted to go to some end of year school function.  So I’m sitting here drinking my own coffee this morning.  Bright sunshine and cloudless skies today, but the cool temps are delightful outside.  Waiting for the grass to green up, but it’s going to take a couple of days or more it looks like.  It was in deep dormant sleep and is not going to recover overnight.  OK, that’s it for now.
