It’s was a chilly 37 degrees when I got up this morning. Driving in, I stopped by one building and answered some E Mail and then headed off to the building where most of our work is done.

Her Highness threw down the gauntlet on my pile after, of course, I did the same on a much larger pile of her stuff. She had to find a way to return the pain.

You’d be a packrat had you saved every issue of those publications regardless of what they contained. Nothing wrong with selectively saving stuff. 🙂

Most satisfying victory for the Packers tonight, 30-13 and tied 7-3 with the Vikings but at the top of the division heap because they just beat the Vikings.
Sorting through 13 years of saved First Things journals, plus City Journal, American Interest, Texas Monthly, Hoover Institute journals and various other periodicals. I’m not a pack rat, but it’s really hard to let go of some that stuff. I know it’s all archived online, but it’s not the same.

I had to run by work today to get something out of my desk, coming down Saturn, when I went over the overpass for Space Center Houston, a huge 12 point buck with two dropped tines crossed in front of me heading to the Longhorn Exhibit. He had his nose in the air and was walking briskly, paying no attention… Read more »

Good afternoon Hamsters. Beautiful if chilly day, 51 on the front porch and breezy again though nothing like yesterday afternoon. ‘Twas 36 here this morning at 6:30 and a lively walk to and from the barn and down to fetch the Chron.

I believe I’ve had my first “unfriend” on FB – my sis-in-law seems to have cut me off. I pointed out to her that Trump’s statement had been misquoted, that she was free to hate him if she wished for whatever reason she wished, but at least hate him for ideology and not based on incorrect quotes. I pointed out… Read more »
I meant Christmas. We make many pounds of lasagna for Christmas, and I’m pre-cooking as much as I can so I can enjoy my family on the big day. I’m going to try to fix the lasagna and freeze it several weeks ahead of time.

Gonna be upper 30s out here on the moors of the Brazos tonight. Just sliding down through 50 now, and the wind’s died down to a breeze. The air is crisp and fresh as only a norther can bring. Brother-in-law sent pictures of the 5″ snowfall Madison had overnight, and it does look like winter up there. It will mostly… Read more »
Went to the gym to get my bag, which I accidentally left there yesterday. Then I went to Wal-Mart to start my Christmas dinner shopping. I pulled out flyers for the price matching, and got onions for 25 cents/pound, the ground beef for about $2 less than the WM price, same for the ground pork. I’ll be chopping and freezing… Read more »

Didn’t you NOT want to keep that dog way back years ago, when your wife found it abandoned and discarded?

Well, my wife’s last uncle on her mother’s side passed away this week at 94, so she loaded up and headed off to Alabama about 6 AM, taking the girls with her. We’re heading up to the deer camp after Thanksgiving so I got up and made a pot of Bambi chili to take up there. It sure is smelling… Read more »
Interestingly, in between two IRS scam calls, the local Sheriff’s Dept utilized the County emergency alert system to advise residents of IRS scam calls, yesterday.
IMHO – there are LOTS of peace loving Muslims in this world.
BUT (aint there always a ‘but’ ?)
If they espouse peace but REFUSE any less than total, public, and ACTIVE condemnation of the extremist versions – then they are part of the PROBLEM and NOT the solution

Clouds have cleared out, sunshine is bright, and the wind keeps getting stronger.
Temp hasn’t begun to tank yet and went up to 68. Not much more than a little very light rain here with the front. And that’s ok since we didn’t need any.

Why is SD stealing NASA secrets on the weekend?
Well, maybe not that much colder, but the fact it’s going to be 60 here on Thanksgiving is amazing.
It’s going to be significantly colder in the Coastal Bend of Texas than here in Baghdad on the Hudson tomorrow morning.

Yea for the Texans. Another win.
I had to go to shorts. The floor was on all last night and until about 10:30. It’s still radiating heat and I got a little too warm.
And my firestarters worked a little too well. Have to wait for the fire to go down a bit.

Down to 48 here as we hang it up for the night.
Chicago had a record for the day 16″ of snow last night and today. That makes for a really big mess with snow removal already.

Sometimes it’s good to live on the cheap side of town and get flyers from los mercados.
Onions foe .25/lb is a fargin steal. Youay have to go to confession for that one.
