Texpat, I’ve been poking around on your; Bridgehunter and found one of my favorites; Piano Bridge, Fayette County, Texas.
Back in another life, we’d occasionally forget to go to school and wound up at Cole’s Bridge, Snellgrove’s Mill, over in Coffee County, it was way off on a dirt road, spanning pea River. Dang we had some good time there. Sadly, the old bridge is falling apart and a replaced by new sterile, concrete bridge with no character, oh and the road is paved now. 🙁 -
Morning gang. 38 degrees out here this morning with light rain, and a predicted high around 43. That’s what many might consider to be a miserable day, but for me, it’s sounds just right. I watched the Trump rally in NH last night, and either they turned the sound up or it was the loudest crowd that I’ve heard in a long time. Trump even pointed out that he expected quite a few of his supporters to vote in the Dem primary for the weakest Dem candidate, but that he (Trump) could not offer any advice on which one was the weakest. So they may have a good turnout if a number of Reps vote in the Dem primary. I’m still thinking of voting for Barney in the primary in Texas, but it might be time to be thinking Biden if he is running 4th or 5th at the time.
I think again of Rush’s description of the “drive-by” media and these campaigns. The circus all comes to town in these small states and creates all kinds of excitement, makes all kinds of promises, offers all kinds of publicity to the locals, whoops it up big time, and the evening of the election, before all the votes are even counted, the circus has pulled up stakes and moved on to the next venue without so much as a single word of thank you, kma, or anything else. It’s all so phony. In Iowa, after over a year of door to door campaigning and promising, they won’t even release the true vote count because they don’t like the results. Dem voters never get to decide on even picking their candidate any more – it’s all just a show.
OK, gotta start planning for my road trip on Thursday, weather permitting. you all have a great day, and more later.

This is the Regency Bridge which spans the Colorado River between northwestern San Saba County and southwestern Mills Co. I think it is the last remaining active bridge of its type in Texas. I took friends out there over Thanksgiving, but we decided not to drive across to the Mills Co side. It shakes and rattles just walking on it. If you plan to go see it, you’d better get your GPS working because it is located off the main road on a dirt county road that is barely marked with a bullet riddled sign, and there is no designated parking anywhere. Just pull over, have a couple of cool ones, toss your cans out, turn around and drive on.Here’s another one on the San Saba River just north of town, but it is now closed to auto traffic although pedestrian traffic still allowed. It shakes and wobbles with the best of the. https://bridgehunter.com/tx/san-saba/232060AA0112001/

In the not to distant future, blindness could be overcome.
HEADLINE: Blind Woman Sees With New Implant, Plays Video Game Sent Straight to Her Brain
This is interesting; there are more diseases that cause blindness between the retina and the brain than in just the retina, so this team wired electrodes directly to the brain and feeds them via wifi, vidwo camera and computers.
Who knows, maybe in 50 years or so the new glasses will plug into ports on the side of the head and look like a chrome air filter. -
#6 EG: Hamous posted one a couple of years ago about high quality designer firewood; it greatly mocked the hipsters and their insanity. Yours is of the same vein.

HEADLINE: Democrats Trot Out ‘Peak Oil’ Again, and Are Just as Wrong as Ever
I don’t think the Ds really like us at all.

During the last commie debate, Amy Crowbar kept trying to say “newcomer” but she pronounces it “newcumber”. Annoying. Like someone saying “eck-specially”.

#14 #15, A very interesting article, with numbers made out from facts not fiction. Not that I really care about CO2, but we’re down to a level not seen in 20 years.
I didn’t really learn anything but enjoyed the well written piece and this should be required reading for every Jr High Schooler in the country. -

Oh and peak oil? I remember when I was about 10, (1964) and read about the impending doom of the country, running out of gas/oil, and was a little concerned, so I asked my Dad, he said not to pay them any mind, we’ll have oil through your lifetime. Then he explained that the only reason this was discussed was to take our rights and freedom. I’ve not thought about this conversation in years, but this BS has been going on since the beginning of civilization.
Oh and my dad wasn’t a Rocket Scientist, just a south Alabama country boy with common sense. I do miss my dad, here at the farm, I think about him all the time. When I pull up a mess of petered-out turnips for the hens, I know that makes him proud, not to mention the fact, that I managed to get in one fall crop this past year. -

18 I almost included that one. Many years ago I saw an interview with Thurgood Marshall shortly before he died. The interviewer asked him (don’t remember the exact wordind) what bothered him most about the progression of black Americans in today’s society. That was the first thing on his list.

If this coronavirus outbreak is not a serious threat, then why is the U.S. government preparing to quarantine victims all over America? As you will see below, 11 U.S. military bases located close to major airports are being converted into “quarantine centers” for potential patients. When I first learned about this, I was greatly alarmed, because we have all seen what is going on in China right now. People are literally being physically dragged out of their homes and are being forcibly relocated to “mass quarantine camps” with hordes of other very sick people. Sadly, many of them will never come out of those camps alive. If this virus starts spreading like wildfire here in the United States, is it possible that something similar could start happening here?
The only one in Texas is the Naval Air Station in Grand Prairie between Dallas and Fort Worth.
The reason why the virus has already spread to so many nations is because it is highly contagious. Scientists have discovered that it can be transmitted from person to person very easily, it has an incubation period of up to 24 days, and it can survive on smooth surfaces for up to 9 days.

Students studying to become teachers at Texas State University who take the course “Public Education in a Multicultural Society” are required to complete a series of assignments on “whiteness.”
The class, Culture and Instruction 3310: Public Education in a Multicultural Society, is “designed to give students an overview of public schooling in America in terms of multicultural, historical, legal and political contexts,” according to the course description.
and this imbecile responds,
In a statement to The College Fix, the dean of the College of Education, Michael O’Malley, defended the lesson plan.
“Studying whiteness is a part of the work that educators are doing to understand racism and its effects on education,” he said.
“This assignment stimulates meaningful conversations that moves our students toward understanding their own experiences and the experiences of others,” O’Malley continued, before citing the Southern Poverty Law Center’s “Teaching Tolerance” program.
They need to destroy every college of education in the nation – down to rubble and then turn them into public parks.

This will be interesting.
Texas has sued California over a law barring state-sponsored travel to a handful of states over laws that critics say discriminate against LGBT people.
Politico reported Monday that the lawsuit targets a law passed by the California legislature in 2016 that bans travel from state employees to any state that discriminates on the basis of gender identity or sexuality, rules that the state’s attorney general, Xavier Becerra (D), expanded to include 11 states that enforce measures that Becerra believes promote discrimination.

From Mike Rowe FB page
So I’m at the bar last night, waiting for my drink to arrive, when the man beside me orders a “Clint.”
“A Clint?” says the bartender.
The man reaches into his pocket and offers the bartender a business card. The bartender examines the card and nods his head.
“One Clint, coming up!”
I turn to the man beside me, who appears to be the same age as my father. “It’s none of my business,” I say, “but what the hell is a Clint?”
The man smiles and hands me his card. “Keep it,” he says. “Might come in handy sometime.”
On the business card, are the ingredients for a very specific drink. I am intrigued, not only by the drink, but by the man who carries a card with instructions for bartenders to properly mix the cocktail he desires.
“Campari?” I say. “Interesting.”
“Don’t knock it till you try it.”
“May I assume you’re the Clint for which the drink is named?” I ask.
“You may,” says Clint.
“And may I further assume you’re a man who has grown weary of describing a drink no one has ever heard of?”
“You may,” says Clint.
We shake hands, and I make no further assumptions about the man with a taste for pink cocktails. We chat some more though, and I soon learn that Clint has spent his life in law enforcement. Specifically, I learn that he worked with the secret service.
“Interesting,” I said. “Did you know John Barletta?” John is the only secret service guy I’d ever met. He guarded Reagan for years. I met him at the ranch once.
“Sure,” said Clint. I knew John very well. Good man. Died not too long ago.”
“Yeah,” I said. “I heard that. Did you read his book, Riding with Reagan?”
“Sure did,” said Clint. “He was devoted to the Reagans. Absolutely devoted.” Clint raised his pink drink to John Barletta, and we drank to his memory.
“Were you involved with Reagan?” I asked.
“No, I was done by then. My last guy was Ford.”
“Your last guy?” I asked.
“Yeah, I guarded Nixon before that.”
“Really?”
“And Johnson before that.”
“Yeah?”
“And Kennedy before that.”
“You’re kidding,” I said.
“No. I actually started with Eisenhower.”
“Wow,” I said. “Five Presidents? You must have some stories.”
Suffice it to say, he does. Turns out, the man sipping the pink cocktail with yours truly is the agent who threw himself over Jackie Kennedy in 1963, two seconds after her husband was assassinated in Dallas. Clint was not only there – he was in the middle of it. All of it.
Last night, I came home and read up on Clint Hill. This President’s Day, I encourage you to do the same. His story is incredible. https://clinthillsecretservice.com/ Better yet, download the #1 New York Times Best Seller about his remarkable life, Five Presidents. That’s what I’m going to do. Then, I’m going to make myself a Clint, and think not just about the Presidents we remember on this day, but of the men and women who risk their lives protecting them.
Carry on, Clint Hill.
Carry on.Mike

MADRID – Government-funded “journalists” in Germany are being ridiculed after a half-baked plan to “infiltrate” the Heartland Institute, a prominent American think tank, revealed that the organization does nothing wrong and does not take money to change its positions.
The tax-supported “reporters” with ZDF also targeted Naomi Seibt, a sweet German girl who rose to prominence by daring to expose the obvious problems with the man-made global-warming hypothesis and questioning other establishment narratives.

Back in my other life, I had a friend who was retired SS. He served on the Presidential detail from Truman to Kennedy and wound up as his last assignment with the campaign for Hubert Humphrey. He had a photo album that included his attendance with many world leaders of the time – all candid shots, not staged. Some he liked, some he did not like, traveled the world, just story after story. He was I believe in charge of the Houston (I believe) detail the day before Kennedy traveled to Dallas. I always just assumed that he had the skills to just slip his hand into your chest and pull out your beating heart if he wanted to but I never asked about his hand to hand combat skills.

OH HELL NAWWWWWWW. You seen the land those things are on? As a pubic park they would want to add ball fields (more of my money to pay the taxes to build them) build bike trails (more of my money to pay the taxes to build them) put in water fountains and restrooms (more of my money to pay the taxes to build them) swings, slides and playground equipment (more of my money to pay the taxes to build them) ARGGGHHHH and soccer fields (more of my money to pay the taxes to build them) and then it all has to be maintained (more of my money to pay the taxes to build them).
Blow em up, burn em down, knock em down with a wrecking ball if you wish but just let nature take over the properties and leave my damn tax burdens alone.

#39 – Apparently the President is never alone, even in the Oval Office. There is always a SS agent present. The White House photographer is allowed to come in and take pictures during visiting dignitary visits. This is all done before they press gaggle is allowed in from time to time. These album photos were all WH photos most of which were never released to the public.
I’ve got no problem knocking down the public universities. Or at least limiting them to real subject like STEM matters. Forget social justice, diversity training, and the like. But we’ve got to keep the football programs running.
#49 – right you are, let the rubble rot.
OK, cold and rainy day, so why not go start some trouble with the Olde Phart’s Coffee Club. Lesee, politics and religion for starters – that ought to do it.

Man what a fine day, topped out @ 81! After, I got back form the big city, I decided to go check out the pictures on my game camera. I was going to take Dawg but the wife wanted to go also, so we loaded up in the old Mule and spent almost 2 hours, riding the trails and cleaning up limbs that fell during the rain, we also walking out some of the new trails that I want to make.
Yup, life is good! -
SO, ifin’ you have two vehicles in the driveway that combined, equal about a $100K worth and a new Mule that cost $12K, and you spend all afternoon in an old worn-out, Mule with 3018 hours on it,….You might be a Red-Neck!

#52 – Well, I would say that it’s a little too late for Pee-Air to select option number one, so that only leaves option umber two open. But, since he was elected by the people and not by the GOP of Utah, this resolution is meaningless. They are all acting surprised that he pulled this stunt, yet he was very open about his contempt for Trump before he was elected, and it was obvious to all citizens that he is a carpetbagger to begin with. Can’t blame Pee-Air for this one- it goes to the state GOP, the Mormon church, and the citizens. If they have been embarrassed, it’s their own fault.

My #62, the local Game wardens really, frown on shooting a deer after dark. Of, course, I’d never do that, even if it was legal.
-
#64 – Mine that come around I consider to be pets anyway, so I would discourage anyone who wanted to shoot one of them here in my 50′ X 150′ game preserve. Once they get back out in the brush country, they are on their own and nothing I can do about that. But I enjoy watching them, how they establish their pecking order, how they train and discipline their young, etc. I would never try to tame them though as they need to retain their fear of humans to stay alive.
Skunks are free game however – before dark, after dark, whenever.

Sure, he’ll run again. The Mormons rule that state. He’s got it as long as he wants it.

I said regular prayers from January 2009 until January 2017 that nothing would happen to Barack Obama so the citizens of the United States of America would never have to wake up and hear the words, President Joseph Robinette Biden Jr..

Yes, your gratitude is well received. Y’all are welcome.

One of my fellow high school band alumni got tape of the 1972 UIL marching competition entry.
This was some years before I joined. This is a classic Jack Fariss routine, though the band seemed smaller than in my years.
I’m hoping there’s more to come. The last song played is “Strategic Air Command,” which I remember playing, and I’ve heard the Aggie band playing it, too. It’s a smooth song to march.

Let the swamp draining continue. Cool move. First he gets her to resign her post as head of DC DOJ, then he pulls her appointment to Treasury. Can you say “out on your azz” you swamp rat. Good riddance yet again. I can hear the liberal heads exploding in DC from here. http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/3815661/posts
-
That’s somewhere between 3 and 5 of those swamp rats in the DC office of DOJ that have been cleaned out today. Hard to tell who is quitting and who is fired and who is moving elsewhere at this point. All because they lied to the Attorney General about the Roger Stone sentencing recommendation and told something else to the corrupt Federal judge who is hearing the case. The corrupt Obama judge will probably get mad about this and throw the book at Roger, and then Trump will pardon him. Meanwhile, just enjoy watching the rats come out of hiding and jump ship as the Trump train rolls along.

The Dems have some calculus to compute in figuring out who to run as their nominee. First and foremost, they do not want Barney heading up the ticket or the party – let’s face it, he’s not even a Dem. So, they must defeat Barney before they can consider Trump. There is no doubt already that the fix is in to give Barney fewer delegates even though he may get more votes – but Dems have never been big on yielding to voter demands to begin with, so that doesn’t matter to them. Then we have the rest of the field to consider which one stands the best chance of beating Trump. They’ve obviously written Biteme off, and a few of the other 1%ers will be dropping out. They know they have to get at least 90% of the black vote to win, but the blacks will not vote for some guy who is light in the loafers, and they would actually prefer Biteme who is a known commodity to them. (The big surprise for the Dems is going to be when between 15-20% of the blacks actually realize what Trump has done for them and vote for Trump). So anyway, Buttplug is out by this logic. Elizabeth Warren is either a space alien or most likely a robot, but in any event, she is not human, so she won’t get much support. That leaves the Mongoloid, Amy Klobuchar. Trump will figure out an appropriate nickname for her and get under her skin enough to have her throwing books and ash trays or whatever else is at hand before it is over, so she will blow her stack somewhere along the way. So, there is no one else. At convention time, there will be 3 or 4 candidates with substantial delegates, but no one with a majority. Somebody like Warren may look around and decide she can be a king maker, or some of the others doing the same. Barney will have the most delegates, and the rest will be closely distributed. The minor players holding delegates are going to want something for their delegates, and they are not wanting to give them to Barney no matter what. So, who better to ride to the rescue on her white horse (or maybe tandem white horses given her size now) than hiliary. She will hate to make the sacrifices to run again, but for the good of the party and the country, she could be coaxed into doing it. So, that could pit her against Barney, and she would be the nominee. She’s had all her cosmetic surgery taken care of and is prepared to go, just waiting on the call. So, hiliary it is at the convention. As I’ve said all along. Night all.

That was pretty good, until the end.

Morning gang. Cold (38 degrees) and rainy out here again today. Another miserable day, except people out here, me included, always like cloudy rainy weather since we don’t get to see it very often. A good hard freeze with some icing would be a great top off for this weather system and prepare everything for spring renewal. But it’s too warm for that right now. It’s still early though, mid February leaves a little time for a good hard freeze before spring officially opens up.
OK, that’s all for now, Soon as the new OC comes up I’ll start spewing more words of wisdom, or something.
