This reminded me of the chatter on Das Couch lately about buying old favorite classic movies…

Before I left last week, I saw a mama doe with her newborn fawn. She was licking it all over while we was nursing with a vengeance. Back this evening, just before dark, another mama doe showed up with a set of twins that looked like little puppy dogs. I figure it must be their first day out with mama… Read more »

The what River?? Heh. There are actually two Withlacoochee Rivers in Florida. I don’t know why. That one is a part of the area where FDR tried to build the Cross Florida Barge Canal. They partially dug it and found out that the peninsula is one giant underground fresh water river and salt water intrusion from the canal would contaminate the water… Read more »

I got a bit behind today, but want to post and recommend you read this bleak article:

https://www.dailywire.com/news/walsh-it-is-time-to-face-the-facts-we-cannot-be-united

I’ve been saying for years that I thought the USA would eventually have to partition into 2 separate countries, just like when India spawned Pakistan for its hostile muslims.

You have the media and one party telling us that cities aren’t burning and LEO’s are bad, while the other party -save a few- are
sitting there squirming like a classroom of little kids needing to pee.

I don’t know which one is more loathsome.

What hard cover editions of the Great Books and The Syntopicon that remain will be found only in secure, secret, private collections. Anyone that might have paid attention knows that the Left, decades ago, infiltrated the Library Sciences programs of every university in this country. These graduates have been quietly fighting to keep important Western tomes out of circulation and… Read more »

Every single sizable American corporation has been bowing to these bastards for years. And now they are willingly kneeling. Because they don’t care who wins this fight for our nation and Western Civilization.

Why are Gone With The Wind and Blazing Saddles DVDs so expensive? This week, one of the big streaming services has been intimidated by the the Neo-Communists (BlackLivesMatter, Antifa, DNC, all George Floyd worshippers, etc., etc., etc.) to stop making available Gone With The Wind. This is only a continuation of the ongoing efforts by the Neo-Communists to eliminate the… Read more »

I went outside to find Hubby:
“We’re never gonna be able to retire if you keep accepting jobs.”
Hubby nods
“I want you around a long time, and you can’t work in the heat.”
Hubby nods

He knows I’m right, he just has a hard time saying no.

I’m listening in on an investment panel.

Folks, there’s a wave of bankruptcies coming. Forebearances are up, folks aren’t working because they are getting unemployment benefits, and when those benefits run out and folks have to scramble to get a job and pay back six months of mortgage payments…

It’s gonna be ugly.

BTW, travel is done and I’m safely back in SS. Traffic in my part of Texas is back to normal – solid across the northern part of the state. Yard needs mowing, birdfeeders are empty, water troughs are empty, indoor plants need water – plenty to do around here. And I’ll have to figure out how to take a little… Read more »

#37 – I was pretty close to a number of those bank failures here in Texas. The FDIC would go through the failing bank and prepare what they called a “bid package.” Prospective buyer banks would be allowed to prowl through the failing bank’s records and determine what value the failed bank may have – normally a negative number –… Read more »

Why are Gone With The Wind and Blazing Saddles DVDs so expensive? Did they stop making them? Are they only making Blu-Ray now? What about streaming?

Just had our Spring AC checkup, with no issues or repairs needed. First time I ever noticed them checking the filters. Standing under the filter, shining a flashlight up and around — when the guy commented that the filters looked clean, I told him I had changed them all 10 days ago when I made the appointment. Them being here… Read more »

Mark Steyn on fire today.

I was listening to him as I drove home from a Kroger run at noon. He came up with a clever extended name for the little bit of occupied Seattle “CHAZ something”, but I had forgotten it by the time I got home.

It seems you’ll never get out unless he agrees to cede control over new business to you – period.

Use the Good Guy/Bad Guy technique. I’m confident in your Bad Guy chops.

….annnnnnnnnnnnnnnndddd Hubby just called to tell me about two more meters that should be coming in.

That means I have to keep fighting the damn permit department.

HCAD and FBCAD are vile scum. In the middle of all this FBCAD wanted to raise my property value 5.5%. O’Connor & Associates fought it back down to a 1% increase. I’ll take the small win, but it should have been ZERO!

With regards to #36, there are some points there worth considering, but I would suggest that the 2nd Amendment was created to ensure that “the capacity for violence” was NOT “the monopoly the state”.

Serious question:

When the banking system last collapsed, did people have access to their Safe Deposit Boxes?
