Weekend Open Comments

For such open-minded, inclusive folks, the hard-core lefties can’t wait to shove their collective feet in their gaping maws.

In case you haven’t heard of the conservative Matt Walsh, he was the one who came out with the hit documentary “What is a Woman?” about the trans movement, and he also has a show on “The Daily Wire“.  I usually catch his show and that of Michael Knowles in the afternoon.   If you haven’t seen it, it was a dynamite video – it blew up a lot of the arguments for mutilating kids.  When an African tribe laughs at you, you know you’re making no sense.

Needless to say, he’s not popular with a large swath of liberals.

So when Matt Walsh was announced to be on “Dancing With The Stars,” all kinds of feces hit the vortex generator.

Matt Walsh has been named as a contestant on ABC’s “Dancing With The Stars,” and the internet immediately went into a frenzy after the announcement. Matt Walsh, an actor who played a key role in the hit comedy show “Veep,” shares his name with Matt Walsh of the Daily Wire.

With the post only detailing names and not showing any pictures, some internet commenters immediately jumped to the assumption that Walsh from the Daily Wire had been chosen to be a “star” on the show. This led many on the left to immediately begin trying to cancel him and the show. This hilarious debacle led to some awesome rebuttals from Walsh, who chastised the left for its hasty cancellation attempts.

Walsh of the Daily Wire offered a hilarious Facebook post in the aftermath of the leftist’s breakdowns. He wrote, “I was trending nationwide on Twitter due to the outrage about this. All of these Leftists were convinced, and rightly so, that it must be me and no other Matt Walsh, because there is no other Matt Walsh. I am the ultimate Matt Walsh. I am the only Matt Walsh. The others have faded into dust, blown away by the wind. I am the last of the Matt Walshes still standing… still dancing.”

/snip

For those who are currently unaware, like the thousands of individuals who got their world rocked by this announcement, Matt Walsh is an actor who has enjoyed a rather impressive but not superstar-level career in Hollywood.

Walsh played small roles in one of the best comedies of the past two decades, “The Hangover,” and also played a role in Mark Wahlberg’s comedy, “Ted.” He made his name mostly, however, acting on television in the hit show “Veep.” He has also worked as a writer and producer on numerous other films and tv shows, according to his page on IMDB.

This hilarity was a nearly perfect representation of the left’s aggression when it comes to looking for opportunities to cancel a person with right-leaning values. The people who commented negatively at the decision could not even be bothered to double-check that the person they were attacking was, indeed, the person that they meant to attack.

The article goes on with descriptions of mouth frothing lunatics of the cancel culture cult raving about what they saw as an injustice against humanity – that one not their own would be featured on a show that had nothing to do with politics.   The f-bombs, the s-words, the heads ‘sploding…and of course, Matt Walsh from the DWire had a wonderful time ridiculing it on his show.

Sometimes, we don’t have to do a darn thing.  It’s fun to just sit back in the recliner with a big bowl of popcorn….

    Yesterday I wanted to take out a decrepit old pecan tree and the tall skinny cedar next to it. They both looked like they’d fall in a westerly direction but the pecan would be more south/western so I decided to get out my long trace chain and use the tractor to persuade the trees to fall where I wanted them to. I used my extension ladder to hook the chain up as high as I could then wrapped it around a mimosa so the tractor would be heading eastward while pulling the trees westward. I back cut each one, made a shallow cut on the other side, pulled until they leaned a little and then whacked the down. Since the cedar was tall, I though I might use it for fence posts so I cut it at about 20′ and used the loader on the tractor to carry it to the barn in one piece. Later I’ll cut and split the pecan to use in the wood smoker. It sure is nice to have the right tools for the job. 😉

    And the rain we got yesterday filled Rhett all the way to the top.  My beans and tomatoes are catching their second wind it seems.

    So, I need to do a little bookkeeping, maybe a bank run and grocery store, and then I get to move my stored food items.  I’ve had my little netbook sitting unused for years, since I effed up the original plan for the operating system, but it would be perfect for recording my inventory upstairs.  The battery won’t charge now; I guess it was sitting up a lot longer than I thought.

    I have only about four more days of this bone growth stimulator, and then I’m FREE! FREE!

    I’m waiting to hear how Green Cousin is doing today.  I’m sure my Beloved East Texas Aunt will be calling me later.  She’s been doing a real good job of keeping me in the loop.  Here’s hoping that her fall yesterday isn’t serious.  She’ll probably get her dialysis treatment at the hospital instead of the dialysis center, where she fell last night.

    THREE PIVOTS ☙ Saturday, September 16, 2023 ☙ C&C NEWS

    Good morning C&C, it’s Saturday! Welcome to the Weekend Edition. Today’s roundup includes: New Mexico’s brave Governor pivots on gun ban order and runs for literally as far away as she can get;  Dr. McCullough brings us up to date at an EU breakout panel; US lacks hypersonic weapons due to massive incompetence; NASA pivots and names its UFO director after all; media undermines President Robert L. Peters for some reason; crisis in staffing air traffic controllers and pilots; a great local win; and a fun clip to show how far the Overton window on jabs has moved.

    News:

    As noted here on The Couch, the NM governor has fled town to visit Taiwan. I guess lawsuits and impeachment threats are a good incentive to leave town.

    Because what the freedom-loving Taiwanese need the most right now as the communist Chinese are closing in on them is some useless advice from disgraced, anti-Constitutional Governor Michelle Lujan. And on the other hand, what New Mexico really needs right now is some kind of state-level “trade agreement” with Taiwan.

    Like the Taiwanese don’t have more important things to worry about.  Just ignore those Chinese warships within missile range, nothing to see here…move along.

    In Her Highness’ attempt to salvage what dignity she could from the situation, she “revised” the illegal gun grab to restrict to parks and play grounds.  Yep, the bad guys are going to comply.

    In my recent battles, I have learned that a go-to strategy for local governments responding to a lawsuit is to tweak the unconstitutional ordinance a little by amending it, and then argue the lawsuit is moot, since it was based on a different, now obsolete law.  But rarely, when it looks really bad, they just give up, throw in the towel, and reverse course.

    It looks like that’s just what Governor Grisham did. She threw in the dictatorial towel, hanging on to a tiny scrap of her gun ban to save face.

    The awesome Dr. McCullough speaks:

    Dr. Peter McCullough is the most, if not one of the most important doctors in the long, difficult pandemic pushback effort.  His extended chain of impeccable credentials — many now stripped away — and his clear, credible, precise, and persuasive speaking style make him an extremely effective advocate for early covid treatment and against the jabs.

    Peter is a hero in the full modern sense of the word. He has freely sacrificed much for many, for millions of people he does not even know.

    The doc gave a terrific speech last week, and it’s well worth a watch if you have 17 minutes or so. Otherwise, I’ve transcribed a bunch of it, so you can read instead of watching, or watch and skip the transcription, or watch and read. You get the idea.

    https://rumble.com/v3hwcgm-dr.-mcculloughs-speech-at-the-european-parliament.html

    On Wednesday, Dr. McCullough appeared as a on of nine panelists in a European Union Parliament breakout session on the W.H.O., the pandemic, and the vaccines.

    From the synopsis, Dr. M. did not pull punches.  He named names and encouraged the EU to completely disengage from WHO.  Oh, that our leaders would do the same!  He is convinced that the health agency is a sell out to Big Pharma.  Duh.

    The longest section of his presentation was about the vaccines. But it was worth it, since Dr. McCullough summarized everything we know for sure — what we can prove — about the horrible jabs and their devastating injuries. First, McCullough described the single biggest problem with the mRNA shot — it’s made of a toxic protein that never goes away:

    The vaccines have ravaged the population of the world…  the genetic code for the potentially-lethal spike protein part of the virus.  It was the worst idea ever to install the genetic code by injection, and allow unbridled production of a potentially lethal protein in the human body for an uncontrolled duration of time.
    Everything we’ve learned about the vaccines since they came out is horrifying. There’s not a single study showing that the messenger RNA is broken down. Because it’s pseudo-uridinated. It’s made synthetically. It cannot be broken down. There’s not one study showing it  leaves the body.
    We now have papers by [Kestroyuda-sp?] who demonstrates the messenger RNA circulating for a month.
    That’s as long as they’ve looked!
    We have the spike protein — the lethal protein from the vaccines — found in the human body after vaccination, circulating at least for six months, if not longer, and if people take another injection in another six months, that’s another installation, and more circulating, potentially-lethal spike protein.

    McCullough then described the four verified vaccine injuries: cardiovascular, neurologic, blood clots, and immune system problems.  He omitted the growing but unverified category of turbo-cancers.

    … the credibility that has propelled McCullough to speaking at the EU lies in his careful, scientific precision.

    Heart attacks:

    Number one is cardiovascular disease: heart inflammation, or myocarditis. Every regulatory agency agrees the vaccines cause myocarditis.
    I’m a cardiologist. When there’s myocarditis, people cannot exert themselves in athletics….and we have seen a montage of cardiac arrests in young individuals.
    I’m telling you — as an expert cardiologist — these cardiac arrest are due to the covid-19 vaccine until proven otherwise. They are.
    The cardiovascular domain of damage in the human body from the vaccine is substantial. …

    Brain damage:

    The second domain is neurologic disease. Stroke, both acitic and hemorrhagic, Guillain-Barre syndrome, ascending paralysis, which can lead to death, and which has lead to death, with messenger RNA vaccines. Which is agreed to by all of our regulatory agencies. Small fiber neuropathy, numbness and tingling, ringing in the ears, headaches. These are all common.

    Blood clots – these are not the usual blood clots that doctors are used to dealing with:

    Blood clots. Blood clots like we’ve never seen before. The spike protein is the most thrombogenic protein we’ve even seen in human medicine. It’s found IN the blood clots.
    The spike protein causes blood clots. Blood clots bigger and more resistant to blood thinners than we’ve ever experienced in human medicine…
    We can’t get these [clots] out of the body. [Probably because] we can’t get the messenger RNA or the spike protein out of the body, as it is continually produced.

    Immunity issues:

    The fourth and last domain: Immunologic abnormalities. Vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia and multi-system inflammatory disorder are early-acute syndromes, well-described, published, they have their own acronyms, all agreed-to by the agencies.

    Mr. C. points out that we’ve come a long way.  It used to be that these kinds of statements would call for his muzzling, punishment, and medical community crucifixion.  He points out that people have died from myocarditis two years after the jabs.  The Air Force doctor who tried to point out the dangers of benching so many pilots due to heart issues after being jabbed – she indicated heart failure could take 10-15 years to manifest itself to the point of serious injury or death.  And “long covid” is a head fake to protect the jab.

    …We are now seeing a third false narrative. The third false narrative is: it’s not the vaccine causing these problems, it’s covid.
    Don’t fall for the false narrative. The medical literature at this point in time is compelling. The Bradford-Hill criteria for causality have been fulfilled. The vaccines are causing this enormous wave of illness.

    He does offer this hopeful news:

    He said the studies are showing that somewhere between 4% and 7% of the jab batches account for almost all officially-recognized jab injuries. So, with regard to the recognized domains of injury, there’s a good chance that any particular person got a safe batch with no reported injuries at all (about a third) or even more likely, a batch with only very rare injuries (all the rest).

    Thank you, Dr. McCullough.

    Now, while our military is worrying about pronouns and using the alphabet group in recruitment videos, we have this:

    The Wall Street Journal ran a long-form story yesterday headlined, “Hypersonic Missiles Are Game-Changers, and America Doesn’t Have Them.” The sub-headline glumly explained, “The U.S. military is pouring resources into the superfast weapons but has struggled to develop them. China and Russia are far ahead.”

    China’s and Russia’s hypersonic missiles can attack enemies with extreme speed, up to five times the speed of sound, and can travel around the world in an hour. They make most air defenses obsolete. They can carry conventional explosives or nuclear warheads. Both China and Russia have them ready to use. But the U.S. doesn’t.

    I can only imagine how different this story would be if Trump was president now.

    It’s incompetence on a breathtaking scale, even for the Biden Administration. These morons could have killed us all. Think of the dumbest thing a husband has ever done, even worse than forgetting he put the baby in the pickup truck’s bed for a second, and then driving off, then multiply that idiotic moment times a hundred. A thousand. A million.

    Now you’re getting close.

    Obviously, the Pentagon is racing to catch up, throwing money around faster than Hunter Biden at a Ukrainian strip club. If that’s possible. If you’re a military wonk, read the whole article.

    Lord, save us from the experts.

    Skipping the whole UFO/alien news from the government…on to the sudden media negativity on the Meat Puppet:

    Over the last two weeks, the media has been uncharacteristically hard on wandering President Peters, running headlines critical of “Bidenomics,” questioning Biden’s mental fitness to serve a second term, and reporting multiple polls showing voters find the sleepy former Vice-President to be deeply unpopular.

    Meanwhile, California Governor Gavin Newsom seems to be running a stealthy shadow campaign for the democrat nomination. He’s been stumping in multiple battleground states, building his national profile through a media blitz, and giving interviews this week that seem remarkably candidate-like. Back in November, Newsom challenged Republican presidential candidate Governor DeSantis to a debate on Fox News.

    According to several reports, Newsom’s efforts have irritated Biden and Harris advisors,…There appears to be a lot going on inside the tents in the democrat camp.

    Too bad El Gordo hasn’t returned, he’d love to get his teeth into the news that our government is waaaaay behind in hiring air traffic controllers.

    The gist is there is a sudden and unexpected nationwide shortage of at least 3,000 air traffic controllers (ATC). Salon blamed Ronald Reagan (I am not kidding)…

    The Government Accountability Office recently reported that the FAA has acknowledged the controller shortage, but has no serious plans to fix the problem. And even if the government does act to repair the shortages, the time required to bring on 3,000 new controllers is likely six or more years…

    Of course, they’re mainly only hiring diverse candidates, which reduces the potential candidate pool a bit.

    The New York Times found that none (99%) of U.S.’s 313 air traffic control facilities have enough certified controllers to meet basic safety standards. And the problem seems to be getting worse. Warnings of what could happen range from widespread flight delays or cancellations to crashes and multiple-plane disasters. A New York Times article from August was headlined, “Airline Close Calls Happen Far More Often Than Previously Known.

    …In a confidential safety report from last year that the Times reviewed, one controller advised the F.A.A., “The staffing shortage is beyond unsustainable. It has now moved into a phase of JUST PLAIN DANGEROUS.”

    Coincidentally, along with the shortage of air traffic controllers, there is also a pilot shortage…

    What I found when I drilled into the fog of manufactured confusion over the causes, which the various papers claim goes back years and years (such as Salon’s dumb excuse that Ronald Reagan did it), even though we never heard about the problem until now, bottom line is there seems to have been a huge shedding of airline controllers and pilots over the last two years.

    For some reason.

    Some sources attributed shrinking staff to record numbers of retirements, suggesting it was just “bad luck” …. What remains universally unsaid is what we all know: there is a perfectly obvious reason that a lot of pilots and controllers took early retirement over the last couple years: because they refused to comply with the jab mandates. Buh bye.

    /snip

    What is unknown, but intriguing, is how many more pilots and controllers have been lost due to sudden and unexpected medical reasons. Both jobs often cause bolts of adrenaline, which is a bad indication for subclinical myocarditis. And pilots and controllers are a very small but critical community. Even losing a few to medical problems could make a big difference.

    What will President Peters and his awesome transportation secretary Peter Buttigieg do about it? …

    A delightful 72 this morning at 6 and greenery washed by yesterday’s welcome rain certainly perks up the day. We’re looking forward to having a low in the 60s s00n, and to more rain today.

    The few flowers we planted for spring and summer have suffered the heat and dryness greatly, and most of them are dead or dying despite the sprinkler system.  We can wait a bit on fall/winter flowers, as here we are already halfway through a hot September.  The jasmine planted around the trees in the yards seem to be the only thing growing vigorously.  But then again, jasmine is tough.

    Yes, the House Managers have at least a dozen outside lawyers who participated on the Taxpayer Dole.

    And unknown to many, a dozen of the Attorney General’s employees were allowed to take PAID LEAVE FROM THE AG’s OFFICE AND ALSO GET PAID PERSONALLY BY THE ATTORNEY GENERAL  to represent him in this case.

    I find it extremely frustrating to follow what has gone on with the huge number of YouTube videos.  Nothing is in chronological order and the labeling is of no help.  Even the one labeled as “closing arguments” cuts off Buzbee before he finishes.  The whole page is disorganized and also contains videos unrelated to the impeachment proceedings.

    Are there videos of Buzbee’s complete closing and Patrick’s statements you described earlier ?  Do you have links ?

    I was heading home from Montgomery a little before 2 PM and FOX news broke in with the report that Paxton and been cleared of all but one of the charges. Then they cut to the Texas Senate for the final vote and then to the vote on articles 11-14. I didn’t understand that one. Punching buttons on the Sat radio CNN said that two Republicans voted against Paxton, didn’t say who they were.

    When I said that they cut to the Senate I assume the Senate chamber was on the tube but since I was in my truck I couldn’t see it. I guess you know that the Sat Radio plays Fox, CNN and PMSNBC news shows but without the video.

    The weather guessers got it right this afternoon around 2pm.  Very windy at first and then the fast-moving rains came harder and harder.  Living room windows got wet on the porch side from the strong wind that heralded the storm’s arrival.  Things are now dripping as the storm moves on.  Rain gauge says it has 8/10ths of an inch from this blast.  Spouse said more rain is coming about an hour behind this one.  Sun peeks out again, and somewhere there is a rainbow to be seen.

    An encore would be welcome.  We can use all the rain we can get.

    Super Dave,

    Of the 20 Articles, Numbers 11-15 were “held in abeyance” (meaning, they were not considered during this trial) because they have to do with the ancient (8 years old?), ongoing Federal charges against Paxton. This case will soon commence in Federal Court in Houston.

    In my opinion this is another example of House Manager incompetence. They never should have included issues from this unresolved case in the Articles of Impeachment.

    The many cracks in the ground got most of the rain rolling down in them, and only small puddles are seen on the driveway and sidewalk to the house.   The yards are brighter green than before, and some of the grass under the trees is still green.

    More dark blue sky rolls in faster than you could guess from a distance until it gets close enough to take up a big part of the sky.  Spouse took Old Glory down and another flag on the front porch and brought them in.  Once having chased the flag across the yard in the rain after it got loose from the front porch was quite enough, particularly trying to catch it before it got into the side pasture fence.

    Wind is steadily picking up,  and it is getting darker.  More later.

    And I found a jar of low carb raspberry jam that I’d made some time ago.  I need to remember to take that down to the kitchen.  I have some keto breakfast biscuit mix and those two would go well together as a splurge item for breakfast.

    I listened to Patrick’s comments and he mentioned how the integrity of the senate chamber has been upheld during this process.

    in other words he got the backslapping and high fiving out oh the way first.

    too bad they don’t uphold and protect the integrity of our border and state from the endless southern invasion.

    he also invoked our forefathers.

    somehow I don’t think Sam Houston, Davy Crockett or Jim Bowie would ever approve of the current crop of jokers, cowards and surrender monkeys who control our state and let the fake wooden dummy administration literally decimate our state via the organized and planned invasion.

    if you don’t have a border then you don’t have a state or a country.

    I did a rough count of my food stuffs, and I’m pretty sure I have one year’s worth of entrees; with the others, maybe two.  That was my goal, to have at least two years’ worth of food on hand.  I’m definitely going to be doing more with Elsa, since I think FD food holds its texture and flavor better.  Of all the food preservation techniques, FDing is best for retaining nutrition.

    And the jars won’t be so dang heavy.  After an afternoon of moving and counting, I’m done.

    A rising Republican star tipped by many to be Donald Trump‘s running mate should he win the presidential nomination has been involved in a clandestine affair for years, multiple sources tell DailyMail.com.

    Married South Dakota governor Kristi Noem, 51 – who stresses her belief in ‘family values’ – and Trump advisor Corey Lewandowski, who is also married, began carrying on in 2019, if not before.

    Now news of the relationship threatens to wreck Noem’s chances of joining Trump’s ticket in a potential rematch with President Joe Biden.

    Lewandowski ?  That little weasel.  This story blows my mind.

    It’s good to weed out the people now you thought were much smarter than they actually are.

    #70 Texpat, not to be rude but that’s old news, I’ve know about it since 2019? Trump was still in office when the news broke and this was about the time Kristi Noem came into the limelight, because she refused to close her state for the COVID scare.

    I vaguely remember something about that and the fact her campaign said he was no longer associated with Noem, professionally or otherwise, in the fall of 2021.  I didn’t take the affair rumor seriously.

    Lewandowski had gotten drunk at a fundraiser in Las Vegas, sloppily hit on the wife of a big Trump donor, got arrested for it all while Kristi Noem and Trump were there.   He actually told the donor’s wife he had stabbed two people to death and that his genitals were very impressive.  Trump fired Lewandowski from his Super-PAC after that nauseating blunder and so did Noem supposedly.

    The new news here is the affair is still going on currently in 2023.  Lewandowski is a classless bum who keeps getting rehired by Trump for reasons no one understands and runs around the country getting drunk and propositioning women while his wife and four children sit at home.

    I like the quote from a veteran GOP operator who said after a couple of drinks you could see the pin slipping out of the grenade with Lewandowski because he was such a careless loudmouth.

    Also, it has always been a rumor before although one with plenty of eyewitnesses.  The Daily Mail has now conducted an investigation and collected dates, times, places, attendance records, hotel and resort receipts, flight records, private plane manifests, etc.

    They have everything now but the sex tape and I hope they never find it.

    Maybe the biggest shock of all was the reminder of his fling with Hope Hicks.  Hope Hicks !?!?  Tell me it ain’t true.  What is it with this guy ?  Maybe women feel sorry for him.

    Something popped up over yonder about a car phone in the mid 60’s and they had the interior (dash) of an automobile with push button automatic transmission that looked an awful like the dash of our 61 Dodge Dart Phoenix but was more robust, I thought it might be a Plymouth but after a quick search I found out it was a 60 Desoto. The buttons on the left are the tranny and on the right the heater controls, just like our Dodge.

    Oh and if you’re wondering the “Dart” was a full size automobile in 1961. I chose this convertible because it was the only one I could find that was the exact color of ours. A Butt Ugly Aqua color. Ours was of course a 4 door sedan.

    In January 2020, Aspen Gay Ski Week hosted “an evening of cocktails, appetizers, and laughs” at Hooch, according to a Facebook post at the time.

    Not everything out of NYC is bad news.

    The number of New Yorkers legally packing guns is on the rise — and they’re not necessarily who you’d expect.

    For a city where obtaining a license to carry a firearm was once, not that long ago, almost impossible, a surprising number of NYC residents — 17% — have bought a gun in the past year, according to a July Siena poll.

    This comes after a landmark Supreme Court decision last year radically reshaped gun laws by striking down New York State’s century-old restrictions on carrying concealed firearms.

    “I want it for protection,” Brooklyn councilwoman Inna Vernikov told The Post of her new gun.

    She received her concealed carry license this month after her application was approved in July.

    When the Jewish Ukrainian native heads to her local synagogue for the high holidays starting Friday, she’ll be carrying an increasingly popular temple accessory: a 9MM Smith & Wesson.

    Steve Kirsch updates his masking research substack.

    Immediately before the COVID pandemic panic:

    A paper published in JAMA in 2019 showed that surgical masks and N95 masks were completely ineffective against the flu. They both offered the same amount of protection, i.e., none. This is of course why nobody wears them to stop a virus. In fact, the surgical mask actually performed slightly better than the N95 mask in the study. How can that be? It’s obvious: both masks offered no protection whatsoever so it was a wash and the differences were simply random.

    Refrigerators became widely available for home use in 1927 when General Electric introduced the “Monitor Top” model, so named because it resembled the famous civil war ironclad. Those first units cost $525, which is over $7,500 in today’s dollars. By 1930 they were selling for a little over $200, about $3,000 in today’s dollars.

    Consumers were introduced to the concept of freezers (and ice cubes) when ice cube compartments became commonly available in electric refrigerators in the 1930’s.

    By 1944 eighty-five percent of American homes had refrigerators.

    Just when you’re about to give up on the American people..

    A Hill-HarrisX survey released Friday found that 65 percent of respondents said political pronouncements from Hollywood stars have no bearing on their decisions at the ballot box.

    Twenty-four percent said endorsements would make them less likely to vote for a particular candidate, while 11 percent said the celebrity endorsements made them more likely to vote a certain way.

    Younger respondents were more likely to say celebrity endorsements would nudge them to back a candidate. Twenty-three percent of voters under the age of 35 said a Hollywood figure’s seal of approval made them more likely to vote for a candidate.

    Twelve percent of respondents between the ages of 35 and 49 agreed, as did 7 percent of those between 50 and 64 and 1 percent of respondents 65 and older.

    I demand all of you 7 percenters and 1 percenters confess right now.

    Nobody in my family could afford a GE Monitor Top refrigerator in 1927 or in 1930.  Fifteen years later in 1942, my father was 16 years old working the night shift at the ice plant in McCamey, Texas when he slipped and cut off his big toe in the ice block saw.  Rubber boots were all seized for the military in WWII so he was working in hand-me-down leather shoes.  I doubt anybody out there in Iraan, Monahans or Ft. Stockton had a $525 or even a $200 refrigerator in those days.

    The first time my mother ever saw my father was when he was going to classes on the UT campus in Austin going up and down the stairs of all those huge buildings on crutches and still carrying books.

    “Morning”, gang. My nerves are shot. I always fetch in the Sunday paper and hit the sudoku before anything else on Sundays. Well, I failed to complete the puzzle after 2 tries. So I put it aside and started breakfast (cottage cheese, fruit, oat cereal). Turned on the laptop and to my surprise, I could not get online.

    Here’s where I confess that several weeks ago, following a brief power outage, I saw that the 4 lights on the modem upstairs in David’s computer room were bouncing around. I couldn’t seem to get it cranking again, so I went to Walmart to buy another modem. I had (somehow) done that following a power glitch about 2 years ago, with total success. The new modem back then was an exact duplicate of the one that that conked out. Not so lucky this time; none of the modems for sale resembled what we’d been using for so many years.

    So in the meantime, I had logged on to 80-Y.O. next door neighbor’s modem, which he had graciously provided me the login data for years ago, during a brief outage at Chez Harp. So now I get to the confession: I didn’t even try to setup the unfamiliar new modem I had bought; I’ve just been tapping next door.

    Well, until this morning, when next-door was off-line. (I think they are out of town.) I went up stairs, where all of David’s equipment was still in its historic place, but powered off since his modem had failed couple of weeks ago. I plugged in the main connection and a bunch of things powered up. Including the old modem… Seems to me it used to come up with 4 blue lights, but today it has 2 blue lights. I came downstairs and found that I could get online with that old modem, now working very nicely, using all of the old configuration data.

    Guess I’ll see how long, how far I get before my next challenge…
