Waldrip, Texas 1936
Handbook of Texas:
WALDRIP, TX.Waldrip was an unincorporated rural community in northern McCulloch County twenty-two miles north of Brady and one mile south of the Colorado River. The site was part of Waldrip’s Ranch when the county was organized in 1876. A post office opened in 1879, and by 1884 Waldrip had a school, a church, and thirty residents. More families came to the area in the early 1890s and began to raise cotton. Several gins were built near Waldrip, but some burned, and others were soon moved to other towns. The population fell from 264 in 1925 to 150 in 1941. The post office was discontinued sometime after the 1930s. Waldrip reported forty residents in 1961. The population was fifteen in 2000.
Meanwhile in Poland….
Busy day. Just checking in. All quiet on the western front.
I surely hope Tucker is right. I’m not as optimistic.

We’re looking at replacement ovens. I decided to look at scratch and dent places, and I found an oven with French doors (two doors that open from the middle out). I never knew that was an option, but knew that I wanted it. Trying to lean over my open oven door that folds down, lean and reach in for food,… Read more »
Here’s a 2 minute message from Tucker (for real, not a joke) https://twitter.com/TuckerCarlson/status/1651376097349578753
Our little storm just passed through. Looks like I got about 1 inch or rain which is nice. Some small hail right there at the end, but not damaging. My back yard is full of water right now, but it will all drain off in about 5 minutes. I was wanting to go to bed and sleep with an all… Read more »
Wow, thunderstorms after midnight and till 9 a.m., when my alarm goes off — whether I pay any attention to it or not. (Note: by IT, I mean both the weather and the alarm clock.) BUT I am very glad I finished mowing the front yard today. After I had a late lunch, I had to grab a nap. It… Read more »
Went on our regular Costco trip today, it was $$$ as we had ran out of about everything.
Love their frozen pizza, it’s what for dinner right now.
So I got a proverbial wild hair at the HEB last weekend. I decided that I’m gonna smoke a duck. I figure it’s about the same level of difficulty as a chicken
I guess we’ll find out on Friday.
Last time I got into a battle of wits I discovered that I was unarmed.
The guy who plays evil in the movie did a great job. Both of the main characters did. Nefarious got almost orgasmic at the time of the girlfriend’s abortion. It was horrifying. Again when he denied his host his final meal before the execution. How cruel is it to deny the condemned his last meal? When “Edward” was allowed to… Read more »
Unless radar is just teasing, we got a red and yellow blob coming right at us about 11PM.
I recommend Nefarious movie.
Our afternoon tornado watch just got posted – good until 10PM
Good Afternoon Hamsters, Wow, plenty of posts already on most interesting news items we can’t find in US papers/radio/or TV, and who knows if Fox will carry it? Fox needs to clean house pronto and decide just what its programming should be, and stick to it. Windy off and on here with mostly high overcast as we await the promised… Read more »

Seriously, weep.

I’m at the theater for the matinee showing of Nefarious. I’m hoping it’s at least half as good as the reviews I’ve seen.
I got my nap in early since I was up early today. The sun is out and it’s warming up nicely, but front is one the way again this evening I hear. Bring on the rain – we never turn down a good rain.
Morning, gang. I got up with the idea I’d mow the front lawn today. There is a small chance of rain, and I can no longer get the front yard done in 2 hours. Well, we’ll see what happens when I finish breakfast and get moving… Oh dear: I wrote the above, had breakfast, then went out and did the… Read more »
My #35 I can’t believe that they let McCraney testify. I guess it was just a Hail Mary, hoping he might come off as believable BUT his story was so convoluted and it contradicted the time line so I’m guessing the prosecution pretty much ripped him up. Sadly the local reporters aren’t smart enough to report on the pertinent information.
It’s Afghanistan all over again. Former member of Obama’s National Security Council and US diplomat rakes Biden over the coals for this inexcusable failure. Trump comes in for some criticism too, but Biden is the worst by far. On Tuesday, new fighting tested a tenuous three-day truce, brokered by the U.S., between two heavily armed groups led by rival Sudanese… Read more »
Guilty all Counts! OZARK, Ala. (WTVY) – Dale County jurors on Wednesday found Coley McCraney guilty of brutally killing two Dothan teens. They delivered those Capital Murder verdicts after a 9-day trial 24 years in the making. Dothan teens JB Beasley and Tracie Hawlett died in the summer of 1999 when their assailant forced them into the trunk of Beasley’s… Read more »
USAID refuses to tell Congress how much of the $15 billion it doled out to foreign entities in 2022 was ultimately spent on items unrelated to humanitarian projects. The agency’s opacity could mask the fact that USAID grant recipients are wasting taxpayer dollars on frivolous expenses, a pair of lawmakers claim in an oversight letter obtained by the Washington Free… Read more »
Brace yourselves because this one is a doozy. Picture this: a British airline pilot is just doing his job, flying at 17,300ft when suddenly he gets sucked right out of the plane window! Yeah, you read that right. It’s like something out of a nightmare. Daily Star reported a British Airways flight from Birmingham to Malaga suffered a terrifying incident when two of… Read more »
I’ve heard of some outrageous fees for the hearse ride from funeral home to gravesite – on the same premises!
I posted a heads up link on the biolab seizure in Sudan yesterday. My quote included the director of the lab calling the World Health Organization to tell them of the danger. I didn’t realize the lab is actually run by them. I think the American people should know the location of every biolab operated by our government around the… Read more »
BTW – regarding end of life issues: I attended the funeral of one of my cousins, Carol Ann. Her older sister, Sandy (who later passed away from cancer as well), let me stay with them overnight. I was the only one of my family to make the trip to New Braunfels for the funeral. Sandy was one of those boyish… Read more »
And True the Vote makes news – a lawsuit against them has been dropped. God bless those folks. They’ve put themselves in the crosshairs of TPTB to protect our voting process. You may remember heroic elections investigators Gregg Philips and Catherine Engelbrecht, who were briefly jailed last year… They had alleged that Konnech, through sketchy California businessman Eugene Wu …… Read more »
And in Canada, there was a major gold heist: That dot connects, maybe, with this next one: another bizarre gold story from Canada that hit corporate media only a couple days ago: [insert headline of airport gold heist] That’s a ton of gold. Some stories say the amount of gold was “only” twenty million and not a hundred million, but… Read more »
GJT, my mom has twin younger sisters. One of the aunts that visited yesterday is indeed the mom of my cousin whom I consider a brother. Fortunately Mom is close to her sisters. As a boy it seemed like two weekends a month were spent traveling to Lampasas, Brownwood, or Ft. Worth to visit grandparents or my aunts. This meant… Read more »
Childers does point out that BRICS nations are hoovering up gold as fast as possible: Ah, so it’s not just Russia. According to the Daily Hodl article, according to recent reports, China — which corporate media keeps telling us is broke — has added 102 tons of gold to its stockpiles since the start of the year. TONS. Literally tons… Read more »
There’s a lot more discussion on the Sudan situation. The Brits are involved: Still not sure if it’s a Sudanese Proxy War yet? Consider that British troops are now landing in Sudan. From the UK Independent: Childers has a long discussion into the whys and wherefores of Sudan. I’ll not try to bring it here, but it is exceedingly worrisome. … Read more »
Good discussion on making arrangements. I’ve made my family aware of my desires, but just to be on the safe side, I should probably go ahead and take care of that myself. In other news, I got out and treated any beds, filled the water trough, fed the feral cats, and generally straightened things up a bit outside. Supposed to… Read more »
Now, for the latest in exciting biohazard news: … Those pesky biolabs are just popping up everywhere you look these days. … Remember all the news lately from Sudan? The country that just tried to give Russia a Red Sea naval base but then suffered a sudden and unexpected color revolution? The one that is conveniently-located in the near Middle… Read more »

Mom wanted to be cremated, her and stepdad had plots purchased, for some reason, way out on Westheimer so we decided otherwise. No one desired to keep her ashes anyway but we honored my Catholic sister and husband’s faith by not keeping or spreading the ashes. At Magnolia Funeral Home they cremate and hold the service for $3900 and did… Read more »
Oven repair guy should be here some time in the next three hours. We’re waiting to see if the problem is computer or mechanical. If the fan itself is bad, Hubby wants to try to get it fixed, if possible. If not, we’re going to have to decide on a new oven. That little multi-use appliance I bought has come… Read more »
Tucker Carlson’s recent interview goes VIRAL after departure from Fox News.
If this has already been posted,….Sorry,…… 😉
Lovely cemetery in Millheim. $400.
RE: burial of loved ones Eldest Sis has an amusing story about burying Dad. She managed Dad’s finances – or tried to – in his last years, being executrix of his will and all. Dad was a gambling addict, and not a very good one. He lost his funeral plot in a poker game. My paternal grandfather was a better… Read more »
OK GJT, Put on your drool bib. 599 CC 3 cylinder Kubota diesel powers the neat little Lawn Tractor. FWIW; I asked about the number of cylinders and HP so he posted the motor but he doesn’t know the HP I guess I could look it up.
TexMo, I hope you’re feeling better today. You sir, are a trouper.
She told me that a single plot can run up to $17,000!!!! In my death instructions, I specifically instruct my children NOT to spend more money than necessary on my funeral. No need to bury the money with me, put it to good use. I won’t care what kind of casket I’m in. Handyman has a plot, but I think… Read more »

I was thinking you had a cousin you were best friends with.
I have a cousin I grew up with, we were best buds growing up but grew apart as adults. She lost her husband a couple years ago (Katfish this was/is Chip’s wife) and just can’t get over it. I don’t know if my mom’s passing was a trigger but she attempted suicide when we found mom was not going to… Read more »
