    Why do most people who drive pickup trucks tailgate the fuck out of you and generally be toxic as hell out there on the roads?

    I usually drive 5-10 mph over the posted speed limit and still get treated like I’m some Granny Smith out there.

    Texas Slower Traffic Keep Right Law: The “Move Over” Rule Texas requires slower cars to keep right, whether in the right-hand lane or near the right curb. Unless you need to pass or prepare for a left turn, keep to the right if you’re driving slower than others on the road.

    It fell to me to call the Bogata girls today...Who are the Bogata girls? Our cousins from that little town in NE Texas near Paris. Three of them are the progeny of my grandfather's drunken brother's third and last marriage. Right out of UT he snared one of the richest women in Texas, had three kids with her, drank his way out of that marriage, briefly married a chick he met in AA, and then met the mother of the Bogata girls and started over.

    She was a few years younger. She was a Highland Park and UT grad and a PiPhi and pretty hot. "Uncle" (as we knew him) had charisma. Somehow they wound up back in her mom's hometown of Bogata and he begat my Cousins R, P and S. And then their mom kicked him to the curb and she had cousinish J with the pot farming kingpin of Red River County.

    All four of them would come down to Houston every now and then and they were like mirror images of us albeit with incredibly country accents. The three cousins all had an age-corresponding sister-aunt of mine, and Cousinish J was mine.

    Fast-forward from childhood to college years. They all came down for my sister-aunt Li's wedding. And Cousinish J and I were reunited, and, well...

    We fucked in at least three rooms in my grandparents' house post-reception. (I was on a hillbilly roll at the time -- I'd just had a wild fling with a second cousin on my other side of the family at a reunion mere weeks before.)

    Fast forward again about 20 years....I went up to go visit the Bogata Girls. I was leaving the big house up there and Cousinish J came running after my car saying she was homeless for the night. So I agreed to take her to Paris and get her a room in the same motel where I was staying. Off to Paris we went. I got her into her room. Then a thunderstorm blew in. There was a tap-tap at my door.

    Yep, Cousinish J. Y'all, life had not treated her well between that wedding and that night in Paris. She'd been rode hard and put away soaking-ass wet. But she insisted that she sleep in my bed with me and I let her. When I politely declined to give her the peen (I was also happily married at the time) she reminded me of Aunt Li's wedding night, and I told her "That was then and this is now, Cousinish J"

    Along the way she let me know she was a Stevie Nicks fanatic, and so I've always taught my son, never get deeply involved with a chick named Rhiannon. (Because her mom is likely just like Cousinish J).

    The number of people shitting in store aisles has to be insanely high for the amount of video captured and posted on the interwebs.

    I've been in Allsups from Bernillo NM to Hamilton Tx...... And I'm talking about from every small  town to city.....and I have never seen any shit in the isles .....smeared on the floor and walls in the bathroom, out back by the dumpsters yes... But not in the isles.

    these folks are special, big city stores

    Probably back in Ireland -- back then that wing of the family was Protestant, and thus had a limited breeding pool. Meanwhile my mom's mom's family has a documented case of fairly recent incest: my great-something grandmother was married to a man named Otis S. P., her first cousin. Her dad had the same name, and so did one of her brothers, so she was married to one O, the sister of another, and the daughter / daughter-in-law of a third. My grandmother is proud of it -- she said it makes us more like the royals.

    This happened back around 1870 after my ancestors were chased out of Sabine Pass by a combo of yellow fever and Confederate partisans, who wanted to kill OSP's dad because they suspected him of signaling Yankee ships from the Sabine Pass light, where he was the keeper. So they fled back to his native Maine, where his son fell in love with his favorite brother's daughter. (That side of the family were multigenerational sea captains)

    So far as I know, only one of their descendants was gay -- my mom's namesake, who played a key role in the development of Lamar U. (Not with money but sweat -- she was the head librarian for decades.)

    So we have a dumb-ass, who is clearly mentally confused and very probably on something, being legitimately questioned by a rather-patient cop, who then decides to run away from the cop and has to be tasered to be restrained.  Four and a half hours after he is taken to a hospital he has a medical emergency and dies.   

    I think the lesson here is  Don't do Drugs.

    While he's on the ground after being cuffed he yells that they "sedated" him. If this story takes an unexpected turn and we find out that street cops really are sedating people, I'll gladly get my pitchfork, join the mod, and blast some NWA.   Until then, it looks like the Cops are completely in the right on this one.

     

     

    that's what happens when you stick a bunch of cocaine up your butt and then not tell anyone.....

    of course I'm just guessing
