Final Score:  SS 48 – Crawford 28.  A lot tougher game than the score indicates, but SS remains undefeated this season.

Hell I have been so out of circulation I would not know what a “cougar” looks like anymore.

Hmmm… I think cougars are after young guys…

Woops, you realized that yourself just moments later…

SS 34 – Crawford 21 end of 3rd quarter.  This is turning into a barnburner of a high school football game.

My #107, I just noticed the Sorghum patch that I planted behind the barn. A lot of work cutting that with a sickle bar mower, raking it up and taking it to the Hammer Mill to make sweet feed.

When I was about 14, and already had a horse, that I paid for, I bought a donkey at the sale, cost me $20 bucks, my dad told me I was nuts, but he fell in love with her and kept her for years after I moved away. Norma Gene N Willard, FWIW: Willard, the goat, was in love with… Read more »

#92 Shannon, Percheron’s are my second favorite, behind Morgan’s. Not long ago, I envisioned getting a Morgan and an real, Amish wagon, when I retired, but now, not so much, too busy with other things. But wouldn’t that be neat.

No, unlike the West Coast, it’s bad form to reveal you’ve recognized any public person or celebrity on the East Coast.  It is why so many of them leave California to live in New York. They can walk down the street or eat in a restaurant without being approached or hassled.  Nobody gives a damn up here.

She’s already blamed it on racism and sexism. Meanwhile, back on earth…

I early voted this afternoon. My city council district H had four candidates and all of them blithering, abortion-loving “progressive” women. Gladly skipped that one. I also skipped the city controller race. Not gonna vote for Charlie McCarthy. Wouldn’t be prudent.

There’s a matched pair of mules near Washington-on-the-Brazos. Prettiest thing you ever saw. The owners would work them out on the rural roads prior to appearing in various local parades. I would park and eat lunch nearby just to look at them in the pasture. Red with white manes/tails.

Well, the Trump rally in Mississippi starts in about an hour, and the SS Armadillos kick off at 7:30.  I can still tune one ear on one station and the other ear to the second.  I guess Baytoe’s father in law decided it was time for him to come home and start spending more time with the family and gather… Read more »

Or get a mule and two donkeys for company and use all three names.

And the mule has to have an Old Testament name.

No.

The first thing Super Dave has to do is buy a big mule.  It’s not ethical for a man to grow turnips and not own a mule. And the mule has to have an Old Testament name.

Well who knew that today is the start of deer season.  San Saba’s two lane main street looks like the Gulf Freeway today.  My brother tells me that their deer hunters pay for the entire year’s operation of their ranch, so I’m guessing deer hunting is a real boon for the local economy.  I even saw the police with a… Read more »
