I’m reading a book called Martin Luther by Eric Metaxas. So far it is very good. I always wondered what prompted the reformation. I need to take notes as I go because there is a lot of important details that I’m sure I will forget later. I used to read a book a month but I’m getting lazy in my… Read more »
I told some Catholic friends at the funeral, who I haven’t talked to in years, that no one will ever know how close I came to converting.
But, right or wrong, the divorced-no-Communion thing was one of the biggies for me. It’s too important to me to give up.
Bedtime has arrived once again out here in the country. Hope that you all have a good night now. More tomorrow.

#127 Tedtam You’re just trying to get me riled up, aren’t you? What I’m looking for is how the local parishioners feel about this. I left the Catholic Church 30 years ago after my wife died. The hypocrisy is she could not receive the Sacraments because she was divorced and yet Nancy has no restrictions. I know if my wife… Read more »

2.31″ of rain in about an hour, yes! I was just hoping for enough to save the grass but with this much rain I’ll be able to disc the west 40 without so dang much dust. Believe it or not I can disc the west 40 and the Kudzu patch about 3-4 days after the rain since it is so… Read more »

#130 Tedtam – since I got green bell peppers on sale to “experiment” with the dehydration function on the Ninja, and watched a bunch of videos and read directions, I’ll ask you… Do you cut yours in strips or squares?

#113 – I was whining about the actual holding-the-pen-mechanics of writing a name I don’t use once in 10,000 times!
Just the 3x initials is easy.
My first / last is a blazingly fast scribble – inserting a legible version of my middle name is slower than a 3 legged cat trying to cover up poop on a frozen lake!
Using your middle name with a first and last name as common as yours does a lot to define your legal identity in this world. The more common your name, the higher the likelihood of identity theft. You should always use all three names on all legal documents.
I watched 5 different drivers flat out run red lights in Katy without hesitation today. It wasn’t short yellow light situations either. Stone cold arrogance for other people’s lives.
#107 TexMo – I, too, think drivers are worse since the lockdown… Granted, it turned my 1.5+ hour commute into a logical 45 minute (sometimes less) drive… But there were people who looked around on I-45 from Conroe south and saw 4-6 other cars on the road with them and just went insane, zipping from lane to lane between cars… Read more »

I think everyone drives worse after the Lockdown of 2020. I seriously think everyone should be required to take a defensive driving course to renew their license as a refresher.
Katy Mills Mall on I-10 sits about where the old artesian well called the Katy Rice Wells was located down a short dirt road hidden by trees and brush. There was a deep retention pond about a quarter acre large. It fed huge rice fields out there, the highest yielding rice fields in the world. This was in the late… Read more »

what did you use to spray the kudzu with? Or do you have a suggestion for a good sprayer? I have tried the box store pump up pumps only to be mad after about 10 minutes of use.
I found a recipe for Philly cheesesteak Sloppy Joes – ran down to Fiesta to get bollilos and bell peppers – and they had the bell peppers, 3 for $0.99 – so I got $2.00 worth, and will try out the dehydrator function on the Ninja Foodi… that way, next time we want sloppy joes, I can RE-hydrate green peppers… Read more »
Well all except that big swath in the west 40 that got sprayed with Crosbow on Monday. It’s been long enough that washing it off doesn’t matter it is graveyard dead already. I need to send pictures. 😀

And the Kennedy clan. OOOOooohhh, those Kennedy folks. The whole bunch of ’em should be on their knees permanently.
And the priests that served them.

I remember the Cardiff name, but I don’t recall knowing them.

They were big Rice Farmers in Brookshire.

You never heard of the Concordesky?
14 minutes worth of an interesting FlightChannel item. I never knew that the Russians had an unsuccessful supersonic plane.
