I’d been operating under the assumption that this animal was a part of the Cartel and would disappear under their protection. But now I hear that the Cartel was looking for him too, and not to help him out. So he really did have nothing left to lose. Maybe when they get him to prison the Cartel can finish the… Read more »
Glad to hear the SOB killer is caught. His lawyers will likely claim he is insane and can’t go to trial because he can’t assist in his defense, or something.
I figure the top shelf Border Patrol guys who have spent years on the US/Mexico border tracking illegals and criminals are probably the best open field trackers we have in law enforcement these days.
Hubby got the replacement water pump today, so I was able to water without worrying about the water bill. My plants are grateful. And my local Wal-Mart is closing down their bolt fabric section, so I was able to grab tulle for ten cents a yard. I may go back and get more, just not green. At that price, I… Read more »
By the way, the same Border Patrol BORTAC unit that finally stopped the Uvalde killer are the ones who caught this evil creep in Cleveland. They also killed the escaped convict in a shootout on the NY/Canadian border back in 2015.
Funny you say that, Shannon… they reportedly found him hiding behind the Pizza Hut where we picked up a pizza SATURDAY – of course, everyone was still alive then
That’s what I heard. Nothing official yet, but word is out that he has been caught. Maybe a news conference sometime, I’m surprised he wasn’t killed while trying to escape.
I’m sure the wedding will be in Fredericksburg. I think I’ll take a week off for the first time in…..well, I don’t remember the last time. Must’ve been in the 80’s.
I’m gonna strike the Pacific War Museum off my bucket list yet.
I’ll probably get a rolling walker with a seat before I go there, though. 🙂
#31 mharper42, Indeed one never knows when you say goodbye to a friend that it might be the last time you see each other.

Reminds me of the story of the crippled man buying dog food at Walmart. The lady in line behind him asked if he had a dog. He replied that no he did not have a dog, but he was on a dog food diet. She then noted his difficulty walking and asked what had happened to him. He told her… Read more »

I, too, had lunch with an old friend. He wanted to share his recent ancestry search. Adopted, along with his brother, at the age of six, he had never searched out his birth mother’s story.

I was asked to go out for lunch with a very old friend, now a widow living in the Montrose area about 15 miles from Chez Harp.

You have to ask yourself how these people could be so dumb. One prominent pro-life organization, Susan B. Anthony Pro-Life America, is leading the charge against Trump.

SBA Pro-Life said Trump’s stance is a “morally indefensible position for a… Read more »

Very interesting profile. I just hope the guy is sufficiently paranoid about the Chinese stealing his technology. He’s planning on installing these units of his in remote places to recover raw lithium. I guarantee you the Chinese will be haunting these places looking for the opportunity.

We have too many jobs according to Interior Secretary Deb Haaland.
It’s too bad the governments of Bolivia and Argentina won’t subcontract their lithium mining to the Chileans. As it is, those two dysfunctional nations are sitting on vast riches and not doing a thing with them. I used to have a couple of copper mining customers in Chile. Those people know how to mine and do it well.
Gordon Chang was on local WABC radio this morning again warning about the complete vulnerability of our satellites.

I always figured the murderer was hiding in those East Texas woods and would eventually be caught.
At least he wasn’t apprehended in Mexico with the big drama over extradition and capital punishment.
Sean is getting married ? Wow, his dad must be thrilled.
