Where were you and what were you doing 25 years ago yesterday?
Of course, simply remembering those who died in that accident is insufficient for some. There are those who see a conspiracy in everything.

Well, I thought I might check in this morning and see if bob had given any thought to the legalization of marijuana issue, but I guess it’s just a little too early in the day to be seeking out his opinion on the matter.
Good morning all. Clear and 58 at 6, no fog until just before 8. Then it appeared in a few minutes and keeps on rolling in on kitty cat feet and thickening, like a live thing. The house behind us is disappearing into an indistinct shape among the trees. Trees behind it are gone in the mists, and down the… Read more »
Yes, Breitbart doea clear things up regarding Bachman’s SOTUS’s response.

Well, the predicted storm this morning was a bust around Richmond, gratefully so. The sprinkles were too light to register in the rain gauge, though the TV weather folks gave Sugar Land 0.03″. Folks north and east and way east weren’t so lucky. Sun came out in the afternoon, and it warmed to 71. A miscalculation such as today’s is… Read more »
Indeed. and you’re one of them, bob.
/Ending drug rant.
I’d have been there if I could, Sarge.
His peace be with you.
So what I took for over-the-knee boots are actually skinny jeans?
The caption contest (here and on FB) is over, and the winning entry is (drum roll, please…)
Submitted by my daughter. Yes, the judges admit bias.
Oh my. Manning up: 2011 VW New Beetle gets sex change
And your Firebird’s feeling a little VW Beattlish, go stick some daisys in his dash.
#107 Heh. That just might work. My big ole full-size pickup’s gender identity is really a subcompact. Anyone that disagrees is a homophobe.

I guess just like their human counterparts, the auto crossovers get to be whatever they’re in the mood to be today.
102 El Gordo says: January 30, 2011 at 10:44 am What’s incredible is that the only credible information coming out of Egypt is from Al Jazeera….. Not any more. The Egyptian authorities are revoking the Al Jazeera Network’s licence to broadcast from the country, and will be shutting down its bureau office in Cairo, state television has said. “The information… Read more »
So I’m watching a special on the North American Auto Show on channel 2. Ignoring the “green” propaganda so popular with trendy dirtbags and the “miraculous” recovery of GM (forgetting the $88 billion debt they got to write off), how on earth does a car win the Truck of the Year award?
Good morning all. Dampish 60 at 6 and light sprinkles that came and went. Seems the weather folks’ dire storm predictions have not materialized, at least not in the Houston area. The Chronicle came double bagged, with the outer bag tied in a knot at the end to keep it dry. The effort is appreciated. Good for the brave souls… Read more »
Here’s a little more on the Egyptian situation and where it might lead.

What’s incredible is that the only credible information coming out of Egypt is from Al Jazeera…..In fact, I’m beginning to think they are overall more credible that our domestic newsers.
“OMG I killed the rabbit”

I came to poddy and there was a clown in the stall!
OK, no more drug war rants, for today at least. I’ve concluded that my older daughter either doesn’t mind wearing dirty clothes (very unlikely) or that she’s found a BF with his own washer and dryer. She usually comes by once a week, does several loads and chats with the cats and me. It’s been two weeks since I’ve seen… Read more »
#96 Harper, there is a huge difference between being against drug use and being in favor of policies that cause more harm than good. Naturally, authoritarians have trouble recognizing that difference. At least when the blue nosed goons attempted to prohibit alcohol they did so in a constitutionally respectful manner. The same can certainly not be said for your war… Read more »

Bob, eliminating WoD at the federal level would not mean that the several states are going to legalize pot. Most states would not, and you know it. Because their responsible voting citizens are against drug use. So don’t hold your breath.
I have indeed read your linkies and do look forward to federal legislation initiated by Mike Lee that will eliminate the inappropriate laws the federal government has forced upon the several states. We’ll see how that goes. Lee’s very pragmatic as well as idealistic. He has both short and long term goals to approach issues. My guess is that Lee’s… Read more »
Duplicitous Darren, I have indeed read your linkies and do look forward to federal legislation initiated by Mike Lee that will eliminate the inappropriate laws the federal government has forced upon the several states.
mharper #85; and he doesn’t really believe, or maybe even care, that unrestrained stoners may kill us by their DUI driving. I find people like bob take up causes without any thought whatsoever as to the ramafications to teir cause. Many of those who support dropping the WOD at a whim think they are so absolutely right that any oposition,… Read more »
Sweetie has a good friend out in California whose 15 yr old son made it to NASCAR’s Toyota All-Star Showdown televised on SpeedChannel tonight. It is the Super Bowl, or more fitting, the Daytona 500 for local short track racers. His big TV debut, he spun and hit the wall on the 2nd lap. That had to have hurt (ego),… Read more »
According to those who know more than I, it’s September 19th.
Arrgghh, I knew it. When is the next Talk Like a Pirate Day?

hater 😉
Aw, it was nothing. I really wanted to go. It was all I could do not to spike the nearest Bible when he took the plunge. 😉 I didn’t know if I was going to be able to find him in the crowd, especially since I didn’t know my way around the building. His ‘stache was the tipoff in the… Read more »
Think Sarge was the one in the water. Wow Tedtam, what a sweet thing to do.
TT, what a nice thing to do for Sarge! If you hadn’t met before, how did you know each other? (I’ll refrain from guessing. 🙂 )
My summarized impression of Bob’s passionate interest in legalized pot is this: he wants to get stoned a lot himself, and he doesn’t really believe, or maybe even care, that unrestrained stoners may kill us by their DUI driving. Or other impaired behavior. I hate it when some drunk falls asleep while smoking and burns down the house or apartment… Read more »
I want to thank TedTam for coming to River Pointe tonight to witness my Testimony and Baptism—and to anyone else who might have come whom I did not get a chance to bump into. Its amazing to think that we have “known” each other for a couple of years, but never actually met until now. That you would drive such… Read more »
Is it accurate to say that your buddy Mike is an advocate for the complete elimination of any and all federal laws prohibiting the possession or interstate commerce of the prohibited plant? Yes. How else can to conclude anything but that based on the NRO article and gleaned from the video linked in my #65 post? Mike Lee far and… Read more »
bob42 Despots and dictators fear free and open communications far more than they do bombs. I think this is a good thing. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again; the internet is the modern day printing press, not everything you find will be true, some of what you find will be nasty, BUTT there is a wealth of… Read more »
#78 Darren, I did read your linkies from days gone by, but am still uncertain of Lee’s positions. Is it accurate to say that your buddy Mike is an advocate for the complete elimination of any and all federal laws prohibiting the possession or interstate commerce of the prohibited plant? If such is the case, I’ll give him a standing-O… Read more »
#76 Super Dave, that is an awesome story. Thanks to technology, the world is indeed shrinking. Using various social networking sites I’ve been able to re-establish connections with high school sweethearts friends, a dude that drummed in our first garage band and later went on to a successful radio career and helped me get into that industry, and another dude… Read more »
#76 Super Dave, well you know what’s said about six degrees of separation….
bob #75; Won’t do your homework for you. No,. just kidding, i just had to get that out. I provided links several times during my Mike Lee praise on LST and here. Obviously you never read them, at least with an open mind (calling yourself closed-minded is also progress, we’re doing good today). The first link I provided of Lee… Read more »
Wowzie, that house in Memorial is, is, is …different. Something about taste being all in the mouth. Reminds me of the Doris Day-Rock Hudson comedy movie in which he the playboy cad was trying to date and seduce her, and through crossed phone lines he could hear her conversations. She spurned his phone advances, and the only way he could… Read more »
OK I’m a Redneck, so I’ll say you AIN’T GONNA believe this $#1t. I worked today, we made a lot of racket noise 152 Db of random acoustical energy, I.E. white noise tuned with digital notch filters. On the way home I get a phone call, I don’t know who it is because no name shows up and then the… Read more »
#74 Darren, And his position of the WOD? I looked at his wikipedia page, his campaign page, and several other places, but did not find a clearly stated position on that topic. I’m all ears. Gimme linkies, and I’ll be happy to take a lookie. At least we can agree that Christine never stood a chance in the general election.… Read more »
bob #72; Darren, Lee won the primary with 51% of the vote, and benefited greatly from the tea party phenomenon. It was a very respectable performance for a “virgin” politician. Not too surprisingly, he nailed the general election with a much greater margin. Utah is an indelibly red, largely social conservative state. And his position of the WOD? Christine O’Donnell… Read more »
#71 I’ve been called lots of things here and at the old digs. I hope (and rarely doubt) that it’s all in fun, and consistent with the spirit of lively debate.

Christine O’Donnell could have won in Utah.

Bob, your venom is barely concealed in comments like this. Just sayin’.
Hmmmm, this pic must have been taken in the northeast about this time of year.
Mike Lee’s politics is also rightfully revered by social conservatives.
