Whelp...The big news this week is that you can't be packing at the Great State Fair of Texas this year. Just like in the movie "Unforgiven". Wonder if Gene Hackman will be at the gates checking for iron. Judge Emily Whatzernuts decreed so by dumping an injunction AG Paxton sought. A Dallas judge says the … Continue reading Big Whiskey, TX

Crisis of Competence
I was listening to the radio the other day and a guest was talking about polls showing where the country's head is. Democrats seem to think it's abortion. That's not even close, not even on the list of concerns. Number one was the economy and inflation, followed by a general lack of competence. And why … Continue reading Crisis of Competence
Happy Junteenth
How's your Junteenth thus far? This would've been better left as a Texas holiday, since all that is being celebrated is the last remnants of slaves being freed well after all the others were. Meh. Yet another reason to take a holiday. My only memory of it is when I got a job managing local … Continue reading Happy Junteenth
Doomed
Getting dressed one morning, I was listening to AM radio, like I do, and a piece came on about Frank Luntz interviewing Generation Z, who apparently prefers socialism. I had to find it. So here it is: https://youtu.be/LTjPGD9PBPM Now, this video has a few outliers whose parents came from socialist countries, like Cuba, telling the … Continue reading Doomed
Culling the Herd
There are a number of bloggers I read that I spring a few bucks for their paywall writing, like Zman's behind the green door. He had a piece last week on companies getting rid of all the hu-white guys with institutional knowledge. The other day I learned that my contact at a longtime customer had … Continue reading Culling the Herd
That’s Hardly Fair
I was listening to talk radio in the morning, as I normally do, and the host was prattling on about the Republican upstarts putting in a bill for a fair tax. Fair tax being - getting rid of income tax, and instituting a 30% sales tax. That's hardly fair. First off I believe the income … Continue reading That’s Hardly Fair
And So it Begins…
We're getting a 'Wint'ry Mix' tomorrow, and the city here is shutting down. It's been hovering around freezing today, and right on queue, the simpletons among us have been wrecking their cars. I took a break to go get something to eat, and right in front of Wally World was a mustang up on the … Continue reading And So it Begins…
The Red Puddle
The elections were the other day. So what? Supposed to be a red wave. More like a red puddle. or Piddle. You know when you don't give it a good enough shake and end up with piddle down your leg. Feels sort of like that. Lot of good quotes though: What kind of political system … Continue reading The Red Puddle
Can’t Find it
Yesterday I posted about viral video from a starbucks employee. Damn thing's been around. Turns out, this person is a labor 'activist' and student at an ivy league school. Hope it's not in angry studies or matters will be worse. For whatever it is. Life's tough enough without being stupid, is what I'm trying to … Continue reading Can’t Find it
Odds & Ends
We had our first cold snap around here last night. It was supposed to get in the 30s, but when I let the dogs out early this morning, it was in the high 40s. Brisk. It was nice. I put on a pair of jeans for the first time since May. It's been in the … Continue reading Odds & Ends
