  1. I enjoy dipping my fries in the gravy that comes with my steak finger basket at DQ.
  2. Finding nice chunks of petrified wood during random strolls on our small Fayette County farm. These are a few of the nicer pieces found over the past 17 years that we’ve lived here.
  3. I dispatched this 2’ coral snake this morning, he was in our backyard at our rural Fayette County home. I try to let most snakes be, but when they’re venomous and too close to humans/pets then I go ahead and take care of them.
  4. My favorite road-trip song is “Vacation”….the Go-Go’s version is okay but the original by The Textones is what really rocks.
  5. Can you imagine how crazy this topic will be when we get to page 1939?
  6. It looks like Elko has a few beef ribs stashed in his pocket in case of a hunger emergency…
  7. Yes. Are you from that area?
  8. I grew up in the small town of Louise in the 60s and 70s. We were a low-end middle-class family (like many other families in town), Dad worked 6-1/2 days a week and Mom was a stay-at-home mom. Budgets were tight but as a kid I never really comprehended that. I remember that if we asked Mom for some chewing gum, she would tear a stick of Wrigley's in half and that was our portion. I also could never understand why Santa only brought us low-cost gifts, while many of my friends got expensive gifts...it seemed like Santa did not distribute fairly.
  9. Billboards that say "Does advertising work? Just did!" make me surly; also the endless Buc-ees billboards on the interstates.

    Getting old sucks

    I had two teeth pulled Thursday morning. At age 65 & 10 months, I am now down to 23 of my original 32 teeth, but those 23 seem to be in good shape for now. I'll be getting another partial to fill the gap in a few weeks. I'm still paying for all the sweets I consumed as a teenager.
  11. Only about 1/3rd of the German population was Catholic. This article from the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum provides some factual background about the various religions in Germany and how they responded to the Nazis: https://encyclopedia.ushmm.org/content/en/article/the-german-churches-and-the-nazi-state
  12. Woke up this morning to find frost flowers on our place in Fayette County this morning.
