  1. Not a snake-this time. I went to the farm this past weekend, and this little feller has set up housekeeping in the overflow of the bathroom basin sink. I tried to grab him with a hemostat, but he's too fast for me. And slippery. The interwebs tell me that I can drive him out with hot water, but I don't want to hurt the little feller. So, Imma just gonna plug the hole for like the next six months. Maybe he'll go back to whence he came.
  2. There's a few just across the road from the TPW office on Texoma.

  4. LBJ came to my Uncle Glenn's funeral in Graham in August of 1963. He came in the house, with about six Secret Service guys, and addressed my grandmother thusly: "Mrs. McCleskey, I am sorry for your loss. May I use your bathroom?" He headed down the hall, did his business, and came back to the living room and sat on the sofa next to me. We talked about fishing.
  5. My senior resident on my VA medicine rotation in 1980 was an Iranian national. Her dad had been the Shah's personal physician. She was amazingly competent, not to mention amazingly beautiful. Her dad had escaped the purge, and was living in England. She was consumed about her future, and the possibility of being deported. She drove a yellow Mercedes. I have no idea of what became of her. CSB.
  6. One of my fondest memories of my dad, Professor JBB, PhD was on a collecting trip about 1971. He had found a rough green snake (opheodrys aestivus) and brought it to the truck, sporting a miniscule slightly bloody wound to the thumb. "He bitted me", pronounced the professor...
  7. It's over. The fat lady's singing.
  8. Well done. Looks like the odds are stacked against him, though.
  9. I lived in Glasgow 1986-87 so this hcth. I can see this happening.
  10. Perhaps he meant “The Chicken Ranch” .
  11. It was thirty years ago. Pictures hadn't been invented yet-might be some cave drawings somewhere.
  12. Don’t know about that, but she had an enormous rack.
  13. His divorce was final that day. New gf was coming over to celebrate and spend some quality time. She found him.
  14. I knew a guy who was killed while opening a wine bottle. He broke the neck off it, cut his radial artery, apparently fainted, and bled out.
  15. I find myself rooting for Calgary, for no reason at all.
  16. Got some food poisoning the other day-carrots and ranch dressing. Before bed, I drank a glass of merlot. Starting about midnight, I started vomiting up maroon stained carrots. They were a thing of beauty. Only my hatred of all things aggy kept me alive.
  17. Lots of people are done with the NFL. Maybe he's one of 'em.
  18. They are building a fighting force of immense magnitude.
