Collin Allred is running against Ted Cruz for senate this year. I didn't watch the debate this week because I have no intention of voting for Allred, although I did hear clips on the radio box this morning. Allred is a magic negro along the lines of Barack Obama. In Grampa Joe's own words - … Continue reading Allred’s a Punk

Big Whiskey, TX
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
Glorious
Fall ushered in early in DFW with rain last week, followed by a cold front, roughly 2-3 weeks before usual. It was spectacular all weekend and well into today. 60s in the morning, maybe 85 to 90 end of day, with zero humidity. The dogs were high energy today on our walk. They are cold … Continue reading Glorious
Packing Heat at the Fair
Big doings around here. The city of Dallas, or rather the people running the Texas State Fair have decreed that no one shall pack heat whilst they eat funnel cakes at the fair. By the way, I tried to find a piece at Dallas Morning News, but it was behind a paywall, of course. The … Continue reading Packing Heat at the Fair
Hurricane Hunkering
Hurricane Beryl wandered around the gulf and went north to the motherland - Texas. Houston and other cities got a beating. We got little, as usual. These things tend to peter out before they hit DFW. So what we get is a welcome rain day in what is usually a dry summer: My Tomato and … Continue reading Hurricane Hunkering
Updates
I've been off this week, so far. I had plans. Big plans. That all got shot, mostly. I had two things at this dump of a house that I wanted to fix - re-grout some of the shower, because it was done poorly and it was nasty and replace a valve under the sink in … Continue reading Updates
Run fer Yer Life!
Just kidding. There's no running from this. I was awakened yesterday by a clap of thunder that sounded like a cannon shot. Then the wind and rain started, with smacks here and there of hail hitting the window. I got up, hit the head, took my first round of meds and laid back down. Couldn't … Continue reading Run fer Yer Life!
Getting Hot
The week started cool in the morning, with fog. I love walking the dogs in the fog with dew on the ground. They tend to spend more time sniffing when it's damp out. I have a number of different paths I take them. But all pass by the new park they put in on the … Continue reading Getting Hot
Gone South
Real south. Visiting Reynosa Mexico with New Woman. Had to stop by Chip & Joanna’s Magnolia empire on the way. The rain quit before Austin, she took the wheel at San Antonio. Long day it was. Time to get horizontal.
Spring has Sprung
For most of my life, Fall has been the season for me. I loved the snap in the air, the smell of the leaves. All the colors. There really isn't anything like walking in the mountains or woods when there's a hint of frost. Summer in the DC area is miserable and hot so the … Continue reading Spring has Sprung
