There’s a joke in there somewhere but I’ll leave that to GJT or wagonburner. 😀

We got out to check the damage and see if our road was the only outage on this leg so we headed up to the highway and noticed the road sign was lit up so CRAP! Something is down on our road. Since the road makes big loop and has power coming in both ways we went up to the… Read more »

Tedtam, I’m liking the fish story and a 3.5 Lb trout is a big one. It must be a Brown trout? BTW; A 3.5 Lb Bass is considered small. Oh wait! You said he was on the lake, trout get much bigger in lakes, 50+ Lbs is possible.

Trout is some kind of fine eating so color me jealous. 😉

AB directed me to a trail: about 2.5 miles and 269 ft elevation.

I’m assuming that you mean 269 feet above the terrain, not SL. I think the lowest elevation in New Mexico is about 3K feet.

Power went off about 6:30 during a nasty thunderstorm but the rain has stopped and the thunder is moving away. We got almost an inch of rain today with 3/4″ at about 6:00 in about 20 minutes. Wind gusts were only about 30 MPH but they were predicting up to 80 MPH!? FWIW; Most of the weather has been south… Read more »

Hug the good days to remember in the midst of much uncertainty that lurks these days.

Twitter under new management would seem to be giving ulcers to the old guard that used to run it.  The new owner(s) could be kind and send them all a huge box of ulcer meds of various kinds. 🙂

Day before yesterday we had another blessed event in our back pasture: another  mamma deer gave birth to a fawn.  It is full of energy and can run like the wind for a while and then decides it is time for a nap and picks a spot near Mom who is grazing nearby. She is taking good care of the… Read more »

I just saw Mike Pence interviewed by Kudlow on his show and now I’ve lost what little respect I had for Pence. Fortunately he’ll not make it through the primaries and that is a good thing, I’d have a real hard time voting for him in the general.   That is all!

Mr Haney performed a great grilling of another corrupt fib agent-stooge during a segment of Deep State kabuki theatre hour yesterday.

in the kabuki theatre grillings standings mr Haney is 267-0

In the actual results from the kabuki theatre grillings and as is typical of the party of the can’ts mr Haney is 0-267.

As a Christmas gift to the wife’s new aunt and uncle, we invited them for a dinner with us at Taste of Texas. The timing finally worked out and we went for lunch today. Still just as good as ever, nap time right now.

I agree with WB. We (collectively) still have too much to lose for a true societal breakdown to occur. If we ever do get to the point where the men who just wanted to be left alone finally have had enough this isn’t going to be a world any of us are going to want to inhabit.

I got home, collapsed for a while and had a rough night.  I was able to get my pulmonologist to take me right in and he sent me back to outpatient testing another cat scan with contrast.  I’ve already warned them about finding a vein.  This will be interesting.

From #11; If people aren’t believing these official stories, where are they getting the information counter to it? Well, there’s a hint from the recent Twitter files revelations.

If anything, it’ll be sudden. People are starting to put 2 and 2 together, but not much beyond that.  If anything does start, it’ll be triggered by something unlikely and unforeseen.

I don’t believe we’re anywhere near far enough along for anything to start.

  Keep posting. I sometimes hear conservative and libertarian activists say “If all you’re doing is posting articles and memes on social media, you’re not really getting anything done.” It’s a well-intended statement meant to spur people to greater political involvement — don’t just post, get out there and be active. And while more effort is always better, I’m starting… Read more »

This is a very interesting take on the Trump indictment: use the same defense that Comey used for Hitlary.  Further, there is this: Now for Bill.

What scares me about that story is that are prepping the procedure for humans.
