  1. And get as many out to vote as you can. If each of us can get two or three like-minded individuals who don't normally vote to get off their asses and do so, we can win.
  2. Speaking for myself, I haven't had any conflict with other Navasota folks. Yet. I don't spend a lot of time in Navasota, usually. Mainly I go to church there, go to Turner, Pierce, and Fultz (Ace Hardware store), and occasional trip to Brookshire's for the very few items I can't get at HEB in College Station. I really haven't mentioned politics to anyone other than a few at church, and they are generally like-minded. After being seen in the rally in downtown Navasota, I may get more pushback. We'll see. I'm not your usual small towner for the purposes of this discussion. We moved here when I was in my thirties, so I didn't grow up with anyone here. I've always been a loner and a home body. I don't have a social circle, so I don't really worry about offending friends. I'm retired, so my employment status can't be used against me. And, while I try to be polite and tactful, speaking my mind isn't a problem for me. I don't have much social capital to lose. I am in awe of those who were out there with me who do have social capital to lose, and still went anyway.
  3. I'm ready for one big, beautiful obituary.
  4. I wish that I had taken a picture of it, but I missed on the most "Surly" sign I've seen all day. A young man in his early 20s had a sign that said, "Hey, ICE!! Leave the big boody Latinas alone!" Made me think of this madhouse, and brought a tear to my eye.
  5. Well, her sweater IS maroon. What else would one expect?
  6. Yep. They won't be constipated for a while. I hope that they are shitting blood right now, if they aren't already dead.
  7. As for turning my phone off, leaving it home, etc., I have three brothers who are MAGA as fuck. They will beat each other half to death to be the one to turn me in if the "re-education" camps are opened. Big brother knowing I was there doesn't matter. Nope. Too pretty.
  8. Little bitty Navasota. I took these a little late in the protest. There were about half again as many at the height of it. That's a lot of folks for our conservative town, and we got a goodly number of honks and full hand waves. Not nearly as many one fingered salutes as waves. I was impressed and encouraged.
  9. Unfortunately, the young man who reported it had better just move to another town. If you are familiar with small town football dynamics, you know that he will be found out and persecuted until he leaves town or dies.
  10. Well, yeah, if you don't want it flying into the ground.
  11. He may think that he can better accomplish his goals outside the US military at this point. Whatever he does, he sounds like a leader whom people will follow.
  12. Fixed
  13. I'm trying to raise some peach trees so that I can enjoy fresh peaches, and hopefully have some to put up every year. Two years ago I planted a couple of Rio Grande trees. Last year a couple of Texstars and a Junegold. I went out to water them a couple of days ago and found that a deer had used one of the Rio Grandes for a rub, taking off a lot of bark and shredding a lot of branches. I doubt that it will survive, but I'll try to nurse it through. Now I have to build a game fence around my orchard. I might just end up with a load of venison sausage, too.
  14. I have worked with some really good GCs, but I've also worked with a couple of really shoddy ones, and one who has, to my knowledge, never completed a project. And do not ever, under any circumstances, expect a contractor, general or sub, to read the specs that you and your engineer worked so hard, and the engineer charged so much, to come up with. Ain't nobody got time for that until their submittals are rejected.
  15. "Did I tell you that you could stop?! You'd best get your ass in gear!"
  16. In their red sky world, yes, it is. They are not normal.
  17. Today I learned that Drill Instructor Staff Sergeant Dorsett became a rancher after he retired from the Marine Corps. That was a fucking OUTSTANDING rant!
  18. Excellent avatar for that post.
  19. That really sucks. I'm sorry for your losses.
  20. Just because you don't know what I'm doing doesn't mean that I'm doing nothing.
  21. I'm confused. A motherfucker has tried multiple times to burn my house down, has openly announced his intention to continue until he succeeds, and I'm supposed to just relax and expect him to keep failing? Is that really the argument you're making, imma? Because that's exactly what it sounds like.
  22. Who the fuck are you to decide what values people can and cannot hold?
  23. I am so glad that my church did not vote to split off with the hate wing.
  24. Lots of folks walk their dogs at Hohlt Park on the north side of Brenham. Jackson Street park near Blinn has some nice open spaces. I don't know of any specific dog parks. There are some state parks on the south side of Lake Somerville, about 15 minutes north. That's all I can think of.
  25. I guess we know now why Sark didn't bench Ewers for Manning, don't we? Dammit.
