I can’t do a Keith Morrison impression either but I’m very good at catching phrases he works that made your ear perk but didn’t consciously realize he’d just said that. Big fan as well.
I did not know that. I always thought New Jersey was the Cranberry Capitol of the world. I guess that since Wisconsin has all those lakes they also have swampland to grow Cranberries.
Shannon @ 5:20 PM Sure would like visit a cranberry farm operation.

I got close to one in southern New Jersey once when our daughter lived down there years ago and that was enough… Read more »
Mentioned here recently was ABC’s Keith Morrison. Fay and I always looked forward to his episodes of Dateline. (Even though Dateline is by far the worst of its genre). Fay and I agreed that Keith missed his calling. We would laugh and laugh about it. He has the finest horror-movie-narrator voice and delivery in history. Of course, I never could… Read more »

The Israel Defense Forces said that it used F-35I Adir fighter jets to shoot down a cruise missile this week, the first known cruise missile intercept by the American-made stealth fighter.
I saw a video of that on Watter’s show last night, pretty dang neat.
Galveston, Brazoria, Fort Bend, Harris, Montgomery, Grimes, Waller, Austin and Washington counties in Texas equal the entire geographical land area of Israel.

In West Texas, just Brewster and Jeff Davis counties equal the size of Israel.

I need all you folks to keep working to pay the taxes for all this stuff.
Tell me about it, like my 65th BD triggered never ending issues, now waiting to get over pneumonia to take care of kidney stones found in non related CT scans, then still haven’t dealt with vein issues in my legs causing neuropathy.

After a busy day with the chainsaw I decided that we needed to head over to Our Place and have some fried catfish and it sure was good.

We need a 150 mile DMZ.
From the Rio Grande River to points south.
If the new speaker were serious he’d take another 20 billion from the irs budget and allocate all of it for shutting the border down.

otherwise it’s just the same old s___t!
