Maybe not so trivial, but goddamned criminals have withdrawn $5,100 from our credit union checking account via an atm machine yesterday. We have NEVER used an atm either.
Mrs. Brat just happened to catch the two fake transactions when she logged in to our account this morning.
This…..after we just got through last week trying to straighten out a fraudulent series of credit card transactions totaling $7,000+….resulting in new credit cards being mailed this week.
Fuck those pinche madre culeros.

No, but I’ll gladly donate this tailgate outfit for Immamac…

Annoying for sure, but….
Our street’s community mail box has been broken since early February, so we have had to make the 11 mile round trip to the USPS substation once a week.
After being informed several times over the past 6 months that a new box was on back order, they told us 2 weeks ago it was finally in, but they were waiting now for someone to install it.
Over the past year we know for a fact that at least a couple of important business mailings failed to be sorted out from the junk mail and saved for pickup.
Our anxiety was exacerbated since Thanksgiving because we had been advised by an estate executor in Arkansas that she would be mailing a half million dollar estate distribution check to us.
Thankfully it arrived safely to our door via registered mail last week.
A bit of trivia history….
My dad led the US military investigation for the disappearance of a PBY during the Cold War’s 2nd Formosa (Taiwan) Crisis in October, 1958. We were stationed in Taipei at the time and he was part of the US MAAG.
The plane carrying 11 Americans and Chinese Nationalists left the Matsu Islands and never made it back to Taiwan.

I have a copy of the investigation somewhere in a box that Dad gave me before he passed 23 years ago..
Do you know Chet Weber? I think his dad had a construction company in Beaumont during the 1960s.
Chet attended St. Edward’s in Austin before transferring to UT in 1966.

Vandals Remove Horns from University of Texas’ Steer
December 2, 1992
Austin, Texas -- The longhorn steer, mascot of the University of Texas, lost its horns a week before the annual football grudge match between Texas and Texas A&M University.
Vandals apparently slipped into the university’s stadium and cut the horns off the portrait of a steer on a logotype painted on the artificial turf. Police found a razor blade and a pair of pliers on the running track that rims the field.
My Dad’s frat brother and lifelong best friend from the U. of Missouri (Class of 1933) was an Army Air Corps pilot (DFC) who flew a B-24 in North Africa and a C-54 over The Hump to China in WW2.
A true BAMF officer and a gentleman who happened to be 5’4””.
He was like a dear uncle to me & my brothers, so he tolerated us kidding him about his height as we grew older and taller.
He was also a past president of The Hump Pilot’s Association.
He passed away at age 97 in 2009.
RIP
