Fried chicken During the bad old days of Covid shutdowns, Fay was whining about not having had any KFC original in a very long time. The next time I ventured into Houston I scheduled a stop at a Katy KFC on the way out of town. I bought the largest bucket you can buy and some potatoes and gravy. I… Read more »
#38 We just watched that on Laura Ingram’s show! She mentioned the Crazy Eyes. FWIW; We had tuned into Watter’s show and the recording starts about 3 minutes early so we caught the tail end of the Ingram Angle. It was worth it BTW. Wife was cracking up. 😉
Well muh Sweetie is not feeling well today and she requested air fryer wings so that’s what she gets. And yeah, takes four batches when you include fries and onion rings.

34 timtom 450F. Spread evenly on baking sheet in oven. Cook for about 30min if they were thawed, 50-60min if frozen. Check them when it starts getting close. Air fryers are ok, but they lack volume.

#32, Not a hint of rain here—again. Got clouds here now, but they are mostly white. Earlier this afternoon we had several views of darker clouds here and there wherever some rain fell, but nowhere near us. Sidewalk and driveway concrete was untouched. Sprinklers came on overnight and helped the yards and flowerbeds soak in water. That ought to keep… Read more »
I figured out the real roots of the prohibition on foods derived from the swine among some of the Children of Abraham. Some have postulated that it had to do with ailments resulting from undercooked pork. I, your humble correspondent, have developed another theory. Way back, before Abraham was even a glimmer in the Big Guy’s (the REAL Big Guy,… Read more »

April 9, 2023 was the first time I ever saw Billy cat. He is still afraid of me, although he understands that I am bringing him a bowl of cat food, and he wants it. I have fed him from 1 to 3 times per day ever since, but he still can’t let me get closer than 4 or 5… Read more »
Upgrade to the 2023 version of Quickbooks (fortunately, I didn’t have to pay for that one)
I’m finally able to cut a paycheck for our part-time Handyman. At least Latasha made the process bearable. Knowledgeable, patient, and very helpful.

For all the bluster and blow, we got zero rain last night. Rhett is down to 400 gallons. Gonna hafta cut back on the watering. I have more paper shreds, so I’ll put another layer of mulch on my tubs.

Re: The congressional staffer with the Crazy Eyes
The shock treatments were nominally successful, her doctor said.
Jack Nicholson directed a pretty bad sequel to Chinatown entitled Two Jakes, which I watched last night.
In a cameo appearance, Tom Waits plays a plainclothes policeman and has a single, memorable line of dialogue…
(Waits) ”We got a vice officer who swears you approached him and fondled his privates in the men’s room.”
(Nicholson) “How was it for you?”
#14 GJT, yup Longmire was a real good show. My wife keeps thinking they’ll somehow make a squeal.

An article about the Paxton legal shenanigans.
It’s all political.

I can’t vouch for Saturday’s Sound of Freedom audiences, but yesterday’s afternoon theater was packed full, we had to sit in the back row.
This was at the newer Xscape theater near The Woodlands. My first time there, nice reclining seats and incredible sound and video systems.
