I'm hoping a hurricane flattens maralago and then FEMA swoops in and pays for everything to be rebuilt, including the golf courses. And they will nod their heads and say Finally! FEMA getting its shit together!
Lots of fond memories of fishing trips to Port Isabel, Laguna Madre, S. Padre. Here's me and my pops and my grandfather Bo after a long day of fishing. Mid 70s I'm guessing. I have no idea what I'm holding up or why none of us were wearing shirts. But it was the 70s, man. Peace to you and yours, Brisket.
Bevo on campus around the same time (mid 80s ish). For a couple of bucks, you could get your picture taken with Bevo for some charity. That was as close as they allowed me to get to Bevo on my bike. They Cowboys said the bike might make him nervous. I said you don't have him sedated? Cowboy replied, "Bevo is proud to be drug free."
Looking at that map/picture, my claustrophobia/enochlophobia* probably would have kept me out of that "basement bar area" if it were crowded (which it sounds like it was). *Really really don't like enclosed+crowded areas. I can handle one or the other, but not both.
What? Somali immigrants are committing fraud? 217 million? 1 Billion? 9 Billion? Good for them. I'm glad somebody other than rich magats are getting some too.
I am officially retired as of midnight. I have been using up vacation and comp time the last few months, and started delivering for our local Meals on Wheels back in October. Truly and eye-opening experience.
i want to throw this out there to all the Gary Larson fans. GoodreadsThere's a Hair in My Dirt!: A Worm's StoryOnce upon a time in a place far away, lived a man named… Looks like a children's book at first glance, but it is not. Worm Dad tells his despairing Worm Son a Swiftian tale of an ecologically-challenged princess who takes a walk through a forest. With a forward by E O Wilson. Remember, we all end up as worm food eventually. Some sooner than others.
sorry to hear, SA. Hope your son gets better/recovers. I'd like to mention that Kratom and all that synthetic shit probably wouldn't exist, because there would be no reason to try to chemically skirt the law, if the ganja was legal and people could smoke it the way Jah intended.
my wife was on a team of attorneys who got the results of three local elections in Loving county thrown out due to excessive voter fraud. Basically, her team showed that a majority of people* who voted for a candidate did not actually live in the county. *not hard to do when the vote totals are something like 25 for one candidate (who is a member of rich ranching family A) to 30 for the other candidate (who is a member of rich ranching family B). In case anyone cares, the elections were R primaries. There is no local general election, because no D is ever on any local ballot. But remember, its D's who cheat at the ballot and vote illegally.
