PS: I checked before I posted this, and there wasn’t any other Weekend OC set up. Just in case.
Oh about my Trivia Question; how did Baton Rouge get it’s name? When the French explorer Sieur d’Iberville sailed up the Mississippi looking for high ground he noticed a a red stick marking the boundary between two different tribal hunting grounds and since it was high ground they settled there naming the place Baton Rouge. FWIW; The Alabama “Red Sticks”… Read more »
Little Ellie Ruth is the newest lady in the clan, and what a lovely addition she is. 🙂
I have a Bonnie Raitt in Houston story I can’t tell on a family oriented website. It goes back to Jubilee Hall in the 1970s.
Ellie Ruth says,” OMG, who is this Squawk man ?”
Just in case you weren’t paying attention, we are on the cusp of a 3000 year Locust hatching.
See you on the other side.
I guess.
If not, Texpat and dr phil can fight over the special Malbec. If I haven’t finished it by then.
And perhaps Top 3 for the Any Color Hair Grand Prize.
The incomparable Maria Muldaur.
Don’t You Feel my Leg
Top 3 in the Brunette Hall of Fame.
And our very own Squawkie wins the Internet today. Congratulations.
Mandisa, age 47, pop Christian singer, has passed away. As of now, the cause of death is unknown. I liked her music. Overcomer was good on days when I felt beaten. I sent that song to a friend who was battling massive health problems.
RIP, lady, and yes, the Lord does hold you now.
You know who again.
Okay I gotta stop or y’all are gonna think I am a nice guy ruining my bad reputation.

Well, I’ve been told that the rosaries that I donated to my past parish for their fundraiser or popular. They brought in about $75 for the church, and for that church, every little bit helps. So that makes me feel good. Now I have to go do some purchasing for one of our rental properties. I’ll check in again later.
He doesn’t believe a word he’s preaching.
he’s proud of the fisa bill and this one too?
They did the work they had to do? The work of whom? The Beelzebub run deep state?
a spyduck must’ve written the script with a p.s. at the bottom of the page stating ‘we have pictures.’ Just my opinion.
Here’s what the phony preacher and all the rest of groupofCons swamp sewer rats think of representing you. the Cons voted to spy on you without a warrant. Steal your tax dollars at will, let the country continue to be invaded and can basically throw you in jail for any made up reason they can come up with. Ain’t life… Read more »
Yep. Some of those sorry basturds were waving Ukraine flags on the floor of the House.
Rep. Paulina Luna grabbed the michrophone and told them to put those damn flags away.
The day before San Jacinto Day your groupofCons, led by the phony preacher MJ, were in the halls of U.S. congress and in your face, waving the Ukrainian flag and voting to rob us of another 95 billion wasted dollars to send to foreign lands but mostly laundered back into their pockets and 0 for our country. a blood money… Read more »

Good morning all. Nothing happening here, waiting for warmth. We had a cougar siting about a mile away and a grizzly bear siting about a half mile away. Keeping head on a swivel. : )
Watching the farm Report this morning I stumbled across this tid-bit; Wild Pigs Kill More People Than Sharks, Shocking New Research Reveals Hogzilla or Jaws?

Trivia Question, how did Baton Rouge get it’s name? No cheating. 😉
Come to find out that there is a National Military Park at the Horseshoe Bend site in Daviston, AL 36256.
It looks beautiful, there.
Quoted by Ed Morrisey from the NYT: An Israeli weapon deployed in a retaliatory strike against Iran on Friday damaged a defense system responsible for detecting and destroying aerial threats near Natanz, a central Iranian city critical to the country’s secret nuclear weapons program, according to two Western officials and two Iranian officials.The strike, the Western officials said, was calculated… Read more »
Domino players at a hole-in-the-wall beer joint someplace in Texas circa 1915. I love the spittoons, the Schlitz beer, and how neatly the bartender is dressed in relation to the players, even though it’s just an ordinary night in some non-descript place. I wonder how many times this same scene or variations on it have been re-enacted in Texas over… Read more »
Re: My 7:14am

I was trying to find on the map the Horseshoe Bend of the Tallapoosa River in eastern Alabama to see if it was near you.
Dang Shannon snuck while I was responding to the Squawkster.

This person (openly butch lesbian) is the Secretary of Transportation for the state of Massachusetts. She embodies everything about the thuggish style modern government policy. Once the government confiscates everyone’s money, the people are no longer of any use and then they start killing them. See multiple totalitarian nations of the 20th century.
One of the several historical rabbit trails about Sam Houston down which I was led involved the War of 1812. Sam distinguished himself serving under Andrew Jackson in that war at the Battle Of Horseshoe Bend in eastern Alabama. Houston suffered an arrow to the shoulder in that battle and was not expected to survive but eventually rallied to fight… Read more »
Good Morning. As previously mentioned, today, April 21, is San Jacinto Day. General Sam Houston had two horses shot out from under him that day. He was also shot in the ankle during the battle. He was 43 years old. The famous painting below, by William Henry Huddle, hangs in the State Capitol. Sam is laid out, against a tree.… Read more »
Temp dropping fast on the Brazos at Richmond. Yea for that. Summer will march in soon enough, so we can enjoy unseasonably cool temps whenever the chance presents itself.
And since our Brenham TDL office is closed for the foreseeable future….
I hear there’s one in Columbus….
57 degrees and dropping here near the banks of the Brazos.
Hallelujah!!
A few years ago, I got out of a truck in a Home Depot parking lot in Parsippany, NJ and lying right there was a big thick wallet, lots of credit cards, with $500 in it. I looked at the drivers license and then did an internet search and found what I thought was the owner and his phone #.… Read more »
Give me 3 on the column and keep your old 4 on the floor.
Holy Crap Shannon. Life is good but that is no bueno por poopoo.
I haven’t lost my “wallet” since high school. Which, as of this year, was at least 50 years ago. Well, today was the day. You start out panicked. Then you’re terrified. Which leads to resignation. 99% sure of where I lost it….in a parking lot. 3 credit cards. 1 gasoline card. Medicare Card. Medicare Supplement card. Two Professional ID cards.… Read more »
Super Dave when we get the Super Dave Cafe and Tractor Repair open we will get ya into one of these.

Now this is beautiful; 55 Studebaker Truck
FWIW; I’ve never seen one with that much chrome, it must have been the deluxe model. The grill is usually painted white.

Archie Bunker: What’s fer supper?
Edith: I making cow tongue.
Archie: Ewee I’m not eating anything that comes out of a cows mouth.
Edith: Well then what do you want?
Archie: Aw just fix me a couple of eggs.
😀
I remember watching a comedian talking about eating the first eggs. “Just watch, I’m going to eat the next thing that falls out of that chicken’s butt!”
I think durian is one of those foods where a dare is involved, followed by ‘hold my beer’.
OK This is for Mark; Durian for Dessert! 😉
If you remember, a while back we were having a discussion about a Corpse Flower blooming and Mark said something about the fact that it didn’t smell as bad as a Durian Melon.
