Your work pet peeves
Y’all are gonna love retirement. After being on the job at 0630 for many years to start taking patient calls, I now generally don’t give a shit what time it is-unless it’s mealtime.

Check Out This Fucking Sandwich
Just can’t handle salmon, maybe as a smoked salmon dip. No shark, no redfish, no fresh tuna, no swordfish for me, thanks. OTOH, I love all crustaceans, mollusks, and white-fleshed fish, and celebrate anchovies and crispy fried sardines. Taste is a strange phenomenon.

RIP Olivia Newton-John
I believe 1974, that’s what the wife and I decided last night on the way to dinner; interestingly, she did EXACTLY the same thing with her diploma trade offer!

RIP Olivia Newton-John
Saw her live at WTSU (fuck the new a&m part) in the field house. Good show, very capable singer, and a lovely, lovely woman. Very sad.

Post a pic that makes you lol
Cochineal extraction, maybe? Don’t take that to the bank……..

Lawd it’s the same old tune
Bob Wills is STILL the king-but don’t count out Willie!

Lawd it’s the same old tune
My wife’s family lived next to a portion of the Jennings family in Littlefield for years-they have some great Waylon stories. I love his music, too (all except the ill-advised version of “MacArthur Park”) but, damn, somebody should have tuned that Telecaster before he kicked that one off!

Best song driven by guitar
“China Grove,” the Doobie Brothers. Triple guitar driven. “Fortunate Son” by CCR. “Satisfaction,” the guitar riff that changed everything in rock music.

Best Ice Cream in TX
Or Wichita Falls, or Lubbock, or Tyler……we could play this game all day. San Angelo is actually a pretty nice place in cowboy West Texas, but water is a continuing problem.

Hey Steel Shank!
Thanks for the info, I’ve now been researching, too. I’m an olive oil/avocado oil/butter cook, and had never looked at cottonseed oil. Oh, and sesame oil and lard in the appropriate dishes.

Post a pic that makes you say "Holy shit."
“Refresh?” Whut? Says who?

Hey Steel Shank!
You don’t like the taste of cottonseed oil or is there some anti-health reason? Honest question, and I’m gonna look for that brand you show.

Gatesville Food Recs
New Baytown Seafood Express for the Thai food; I personally avoid Gatesville anywhere near a meal time-good luck with your visit and please report back! I’d love another decent recommendation.

Getting old sucks
Don’t blame you a bit for that attitude-I’m on 2 prescriptions, and it’s a pain in the ass. OTOH, i started a regimen of supplements at about 45 and I subjectively feel “better” overall whenI remember to take ‘em.

Getting old sucks
Start with vitamin C, vitamin D (5000iu/day), and a chelated magnesium twice a day. I wouldn’t bother taking anything I bought off Amazon. How far down this rabbit hole to go? You’ll figure it out. from your friendly non-local pharmacist

Tell Me About Texas a&m
Same. Fuck ‘em. And Blue Bell, too.

What are you listening to right now?
The Faces - “Stay With Me.” Glorious cock rock!

Your Favorite Song
Excellent taste you exhibit; Steve Goodman and David Allen Coe to the contrary, this is perhaps the greatest country song ever.

Your Favorite Song
“Satisfaction.” I’ve never owned a stereo rig loud enough to play it like it should be heard. Next question-

Things not going well for Applebees
It’s actually pretty good “American” Chinese, been there several times. I don’t want to see the kitchen, of course. The Chinese place on the courthouse square in Hamilton is quite good, too.

Amarillo for 24 hours
Just back from spending 4 days in Amarillo (family estate finish-up.) Do not recommend-and I grew up there. If you have to eat, look for some local place, like Landshark for old style burgers or Los Braceros on West 6th (only that one-) or Metropolitan down southwest for American bistro-style food. Good luck.

Dumbass Shit We See On Facebook
Some of the liberal denominations have taken sex ed into their educational curricula since the schools are pretty much limited to “abstinence, abstinence, abstinence.”
