I foraged salad greens, onion scapes, and berry leaves from the backyard for dinner tonight. I’m drinking berry tea right now.

Oh, in other news, I decided to take the greenhouse down. So then I did. I had trouble finding a place to store it, but then discovered some open space in what used to be Mother’s living room. And I labeled the box so I can remember what’s in it if I’m still around next year.

I went out with gloves, clippers, and a bucket, and removed dozens of little tree sprouts coming up in all the flowers beds. Sad that all that stuff I don’t want is overrunning the plants I’m hoping will make it after that nasty freeze we had in Houston. 2 or 3 of my ancient ligustrums are still iffy.
Another near miss, this time in Houston. SWA is on final when a DEI pilotess for Envoy Air decides to depart on an intersecting runway without clearance. Somebody told her to stop so she did, but SWA decided to go around. It won’t be long until the inevitable happens. Just for the record, these things have always happened occasionally, but… Read more »
Back to the bank failure scenario. During the last banking crisis, FDIC raised their stated insurance amount from $100,000 per account to $250,000 per account. There are several ways to mix and match accounts to increase that basic coverage – for instance, a joint account is 1 insured account, an individual account is another insured account, a trustee for a… Read more »

NEWS FLASH: Walking past my patio doors and a hummer just buzzed the feeder that I put up a couple of days ago. First one of the season, so I assume it’s a scout. I’m ready for the return of the hummers.
Even Bill Clinton could come before the nation with believable reassurances that the banking system is secure.
I don’t think that is the case with dementia Joe. And his Obama shadow government.
Hey, ElGordo brought it up.
And with that, Shannon has kilt the blog.

I figured out a long time ago that it’s a lot more comfortable to just get out of the car to have sex.
Your banking knowledge is appreciated. Please continue.

I will say this, having high quality security cameras (with sound) inside that store revealed the entire truth and the lies.
The entire incident was laughed out of the local Grand Jury.
Needless to say, it was the most excitement to happen in that one-horse town of Industry in 150 years.
Yeah I didn’t look at the age of the comments, but appears the narrative is set, damned the truth.
More than half of what appeared in the Houston media about the event was half truths or out and out lies.

That road is called Star Hill Road.
Outside of Industry is, traditionally, one of the most magnificent bluebonnet (paved) roads in Austin County.
Bellville is about halfway between Hempstead and Industry on Texas 159.
If you want to go Industry, y’all just eat lunch in Hempstead and I’ll meet you in Bellville.

Yes. It’s, basically, the only store in Industry. Lindemann Store.
