Sadly, the Coogs lost to Florida tonight, by 2 points. Guess that means they are second best in the country for their effort. I didn’t watch the entire game as I had too many other things to do tonight. Second place compared to all the other teams from all over the country that started out dreaming to get that far is certainly not a disaster.
It’s nothing to be tired at 32, maybe a little bit at 42, but it is a whole different thing to be tired at 72. Down to the molecular level in the bone marrow.
I just watched a video of two girls, maybe 5-7 years old, being filmed by what seems to be their older brother – and they are mercilessly verbally and physically bullying a little white girl who looks to be a little younger than them. Crying from the white girl. Next, the white girl actually tries to befriend them and hands them something, but the voice of the videographer tells the black girls to throw it on the ground. More crying ensues from white girl. The black girls then proceed to mock her and bully her some more, taking obvious delight… Read more »
Well, we finally got a delivery in our fancy new box, and it was locked, too!
Third time in how many weeks? I order a lot of stuff, much of it for my rosary making and/or Steve’s vehicles.
We’re hoping this starts a trend. In the beginning, I didn’t give any ratings on how well/badly the delivery was done because I know change can be slow, but this long after I update my delivery instructions AND all of the signage….I began giving negative reviews of the delivery service. We’ll see if the feedback is actually working.
Look I’ve been as critical of tariffs as anyone but if the long term vision is domestic Nike sweatshops filled with fired DC bureaucrats, I’m willing to listen
Well dang! I stumbled across a pretty neat gadget. Wireless Trailer Lights that attach magnetically, operate on a rechargeable battery and uses a 2.4 Ghz transmitter that plugs into your trailer light socket.
Trump complains frequently about other nations’ currency manipulation. Here’s an example. Back in 2001-2002 I was working on a $400,000+ quotation for equipment in the Algerian oilpatch. I spent a lot time and energy on the package and knew from a source I was the low bidder. However, right before deadline a Canadian company came in with a higher quote, but in Canadian dollars. The Canadian government had let their dollar crash to $0.63 to the $1.00 USD to boost their export industires. The US manufacturer had a plant in Ontario to make matters worse for me. The Algerian government… Read more »
And, regarding the moaning over the improving inflation numbers (good for us, not for the movers and shakers, that is). According to Childers: But consider this. Is the stock market adjustment a bug or a feature? Trump called it “medicine,” but what is he treating? He said the market medicine would treat “something,” like a vague placeholder standing in for a diagnosis he knows but won’t name. So let’s take a swing at filling in the blank.Trump has already defanged the deep state by turning off its taxpayer cash-to-NGO spigot. So we know he’s laser-focused on stripping our enemies’ financial weapons. But what about… Read more »
Astonishingly, Britain’s Starmer has declared globalization a failure and is dead. Yeah, I’ll believe that when I see it. Keeping my powder dry, so to speak. … Starmer “will also say he understands Trump’s economic nationalism, and why it is popular with voters who believe they have seen no benefits from free trade and mass immigration.”/snipTo say that London is the world’s globalization headquarters is like saying the Mouse lives at Disney World. London has been the velvet-gloved epicenter of globalism ever since the East India Company shipped spices and opium on the same manifest. London’s financial class didn’t just benefit from globalization— they practically… Read more »
And across the pond, the EU is facing its own crisis – could this realignment of the trade practices be the end of the EU? The emergency meetings continue, while Trump haggles with individual leaders. The European Union is a patchwork of competing national interests duct-taped together by bureaucracy and inertia. Trump is exploiting a structural weakness: the EU speaks with one voice— unless a member state sees a better deal. And the President can offer them better individual deals. You might call it a “tariff scalpel” strategy— slicing not just into trade surpluses, but also slicing apart alliances. Recently the EU was coming together… Read more »
Foreign markets are having problems with Trump’s insistence on the tariff issue: …However, the President stuck with a single, consistent metaphor, saying last night that “I don’t want anything to go down, but sometimes you have to take medicine to fix something.” And there ain’t a spoonful of sugar anywhere to make it better. The White House reports that 50 countries are burning up phone lines to negotiate trade deals. Not China. China is doubling down. Trump is holding massive leverage. Global markets are getting beaten worse than a micro wrestler in a bar fight. Mainland China’s CSI 300 index dropped sharply into… Read more »
Finally getting around to the C&C: Good morning, C&C, it’s Monday! The news continues to be dominated by Trump’s tariffs and the world’s market response. So let’s dig in. In today’s roundup: global markets plunge as Trump tariffs take hold, but what’s the upside?; a quarter of the entire Earth lines up to do deals; China reels under tariff chaos; Europe in focus as Trump vows the EU will have to pay “a lot” in restitutionary back-invoices; British pivot to Trump agenda in astonishing reversal as tariffs begin to grip; Brussels Tower of Babel leans over; US inflation at rock… Read more »
I am ready to see the pastures in Texas fill up cow/calf operations again thanks to Trump’s trade sanctions. Readers here have seen my remarks after trips down to Texas over the years observing the vanishing herds across the state. It was pretty depressing.
I haven’t grasped how devastated our cattle business has been by cheap cattle imports, packer house monopolies, cheaper meat imports and hostile foreign tariffs on US beef.
Y’all keep talking about potato salad and I haven’t posted this or any other recipe here for a long time. They take up too much room, but I’m making an exception. Kimmon’s Texas Potato Salad Ingredients 5 lbs Potatoes – Russets ONLY 6 ea. Hardboiled eggs – chopped 2-3 large Kosher Dill pickles – chopped fine 3-4 ea. Celery stalks – chopped 1 large Green bell pepper – chopped fine ½ cup Green onions – chopped 1 jar Pimientos – chopped fine Mayonnaise Salt Black pepper – coarse Note: Several of the ingredients contain a lot moisture. You will need to use colanders, strainers and paper… Read more »
There are serious people who believe the UK is being pushed into violent anarchy by the elitist arrogance of the Left and paralyzed complacency of the Right in that country. They are completely consumed with Islamophobia, toxic masculinity, decolonization, transfreaks and government control of all speech. I grew up in a post-colonial world where we said “I don’t see race” and honestly, if naively, meant it. Over the past 30 years, liberal institutions have taught us to see race again – by stressing the wonders of diversity so persistently that some white people feel the state has actively taken a… Read more »
BTW – one of the menu items for last night’s dinner was potato salad. Hubby has been buying the store-made stuff for past meals, but I wanted to make something other than “a tub full of mayonnaise with the occasional potato piece”. He uses a lot of mayo, for tuna fish and chicken salad sandwiches, so I needed to buy some anyway. I am trying to reduce or eliminate seed oils in the house, and all of the popular, mass produced brands start with “soybean oil”. (gag) I was looking for something better. I found a jar that was labeled… Read more »
As Hubby and I were talking about the current sale process for the Pasadena property we inherited from MIL, I was thinking that was the last of the inherited properties. I forgot those two empty lots in El Paso. One is 5 acres, near a commercial area, and the other is smack dab in the middle of a planned residential development. MIL & FIL purchased these lots back in the ’70s, when a developer sold them on the future demand of land in the area. Currently – or as of April 2018, when I drove out there – they were… Read more »
At the ‘pooter earlier than usual. I was so busy cooking for Hubby and Handsome that I didn’t get to an important email that I need to send. I’ll be heading that way shortly to do just that.
The OC topic is, unfortunately, more true than I’d like for it to be. This unholy hatred of Jews from the unholy left is beyond belief.
Someone mentioned that Tim Walz was such a loser that he couldn’t bring home Minnesota for the Cackler and it reminded me that if Al Bore had won his home state of Tennessee he’d have won the Presidency back in 2000.
I can understand people missing or procrastinating about getting a colonoscopy every 8-10 years, but when men die of prostate cancer I am baffled. Once or twice a year to get a 10 minute blood draw for a blood test ? How do you not do that if you are over 50 ?
Y’all mentioned the passing of Jay North yesterday so I looked it up. He died of Colon Cancer.

Now that is an interesting front page, especially considering the date stamp. No linky? Well we’re finally getting some rain, a little more than an inch and a half (1.68″) overnight and the radar looks promising for this morning.
OK slackers it’s Monday, time to hit the ground running or at least get moving. 😉

Thank you.
Got Hubby registered for his car show in Grand Prairie next month, and got his hotel set up, too.
If I die tomorrow, I have no idea what he’d do.
