Thursday Open Comments (CLICK THE PIC)

So I finally got back out into the wild and captured this caracara on a stick.

Look on the right of the pictures below and you will see a red wasp photo bombing.

Nikon D7200, SIGMA 100-600, full crop, 600mm zoom about 60ft away.

I can just imagine what the bird is thinking as she looks down at the wasp.

I just got the sad news that the Mama Cat that was mother to my 3 adopted brother kitties was killed tonight, by a foster dog. The sweet friend who is doing all this fostering had her rescued Mama Cat just a couple months longer than I’ve had the ThreeBers … since 2007. Lately, she has been fostering and transporting… Read more »

My bad. I mistakenly posted comments on a Tom Hanks movie, The Circle, from Netflix that we just saw tonight. It’s the last post on yesterday’s comments.
Really a good prophetic movie of what practically universal connectivity can turn into in the hands of governments or dictatorships. We aren’t all that far from it now.

I thought for sure the country would totally collapse by 2009.

Your instincts were just fine.

I don’t do pro basketball.

Talk about rigged.

There is a very deep, especially hot burning lake of oil in the lowest depths of Hell where pro referees go.

The entire enterprise is a putrid, stinking, hole.

Maybe this is the real reason Hamous stopped drinking Tequila.

I am driving Hubs down to TMC in the morning to fetch a copy of the CT scan pix he had made back in August.

He had a suspicious lump, bigger than a polyp, found during his colonoscopy 2 wks ago,… Read more »

#57, et al – I think I saw where the Gnats have scheduled their trip to Disney World on Sunday.  I didn’t see a return trip to Houston anywhere on their itinerary, except for Anthony Rendon who will be going to his home in Katy.

The hot-button issues for the 1991 election became fear of street crime and skepticism about the functionality of an expensive monorail system proposed by Whitmire. Lanier promised to cancel the latter and put more police on the streets. Lanier made inroads into Whitmire’s white supporters, while a black candidate, Sylvester Turner, cut into her black support. She placed third with… Read more »

As I recall, Tootsie didn’t make the runoff in her last election. Whatever happened to her?

Another strong black candidate will split that vote, prohibiting Ratboy from avoiding a runoff. Buzbee and Boykins or Ratboy will be in the runoff. I think his $95k boytoy has eroded his black base.

Back when the saying was “left is right and right is wrong” on guys’ ear piercing I got my left ear pierced at the Piercing Pagoda in Northline Mall on a tequila-infused weekend (it was either that or a tattoo at Dago’s on the North Freeway). I haven’t worn an earring in a very long time so I’m pretty sure… Read more »

Since I found out recently that my pierced ears were actually trying to close up on me (I haven’t worn earrings regularly for years), I’ve decided to start wearing them more often. I have issues with them; it took me 3 tries as a teen/young adult before I had a successful piercing without infection. My best friend in college had… Read more »

It definitely wouldn’t have to be up on a 50ft pole like my grandparents in Brownwood. They had a motor to rotate the antenna to choose between one grainy station in Abilene or a better one out of San Angelo. Since we live near Hobby Airport, reception gets screwy sometimes.
