  1. What I have been able to find out is that 2, maybe 3 suspects were trying to break into my closest neighbors house when one of the neighbors came home. They scattered and the manhunt was on. I drove past a couple of parked vehicles with out of county plates on my way home. They were parked 1/4 mile from the targeted house and the same distance from my house. I'm guessing they were our suspects vehicles. I haven't heard any official news of their capture and Facebook is all over the place. I always have my pistol by the nightstand so business as usual. Maybe sleep with one eye open. I'm sure the local cafe will be buzzing at breakfast tomorrow. I'll update as I get the real news. I'm just glad they went west to my neighbor and not east to my house. Wife was home alone and I hate to think how that could have gone.
  2. You would be mistaken. Headed for the bedroom now that the weather is over on tv. We're old, not broken.
  3. All of the vehicles left but the plane remains. Not sure if it's over or not.
  4. Not drinking yet. Dog is a rat terrier Chihuahua cross.
  5. Looks like something is happening a half mile sw of me. 10-12 vehicles just rolled up in a hurry. There is an old hayshed and outbuildings there. I can only see the tops of the SUVs. Just waiting for the gunfire.
  6. Funny. My dog is a ratcha.
  7. I don't Facebook but a coworker tells me it's getting crazy. Everything from illegal to murderer. A big discussion of the difference between Mexican and Hispanic. I have moved indoors and locked the doors. Better safe than sorry
  8. The Union Pacific runs N-S past my place. I hear the train acomin. I'd be jumping aboard if I were the bad guy.
  9. Ok. Facebook says 5'5" Hispanic with ATF warrants is on the loose. We had a bad hailstorm a couple weeks back so you can't swing a cat without hitting a short Hispanic roofer. Really narrows it down. When all the roofs are fixed we will have 4 Hispanics left.
  10. Wife and I are married 47 years today. Hence the steaks. Memorable for sure.
  11. Backslid Mennonite. Lily white. The deputies wouldn't tell me who is out there but they are clutching their ARs like they are in Kabul.
  12. I'll post them in the morning. The plane is heading back towards town. Maybe the manhunt is over. Nope. He's back and circling closer
  13. Well, it's a gunshop and they know about it. I used to be an ffl holder but I've been inactive for a long time. The plane is flying tighter circles NW of me,about a half mile.
  14. KHP has a 182 in the air doing circles around our section. Eating my steak and baked tater.
  15. Dog is underfoot. Pulling steaks out of the oven, ready to reverse sear. A cruiser goes by the end of the lane every 5 minutes. Probably over already.
  16. To tell me a couple of fugitives are in the neighborhood. They looked through my shop and shed. Nada. I'm cooking supper. .45 is by the range.
  17. The instrument hasn't been invented that could measure the disappointment. Said my wife once
  18. In. You might consider renting a venue unless all of your furniture is vinyl covered.
  19. I will have business in the Emory area sometime in the next 6-8 weeks. We will likely come down through Greenville. Are there any "must stop" eateries in the area? I'll be staying with family just outside of Forney so minus well include that. Thanks in advance.
  20. One daughter, probably too old to hang with that crew. I really fucked up that sentence. I might have been distracted.
  21. An indigo is at the top of my list. Badass snake.
  22. This guy is a friend of my daughters. He is on the piano faculty at the music school she is part of.
  23. We call those Blacksnakes in Kansas but they are actually a species of Rat snake, Pantherophis obsoletus. They can get well over 6' long and as big around as my wrist. They are probably the most common snake in these parts. That looks like the same snake we have here. ETA, wiki says that they are found west of the Mississippi. Not sure what you have there.
  24. This sucks. We always ate at least one meal there whenever we visit our daughter. Like Brisket, I liked the food just fine. Lots of memories.
  25. Kinda looks like Sarah Jessica Parker.
