Ernesto, SAT’s, New Orleans, Louisiana, etc,etc

We had a very small amount of rain this afternoon. It was less than a tenth of an inch at my house. It was rain though. I think it will do the plants a small amount of good. We need much more. The temp right now is 78°. That’s a big improvement from what the temp usually is right now. We will take... Sign in to see full entry.

The Great LeCoqland Levee Job

Once upon a time LeCoqland Constructors was contracted out to build the levee system around the great city of New Orleans. This fine group of engineers and construction experts had a long history of building monuments up to that time. Their list of accomplishments included: The Pyramids, the Hanging...

Pluto’s Peril; French Folly; Tropical Tango; Maybe More

It’s a fine, hot Thursday late afternoon here in Texas. It was over 100° today, but it did not feel that bad. Maybe I am just getting used to the heat. We had no rain again and we don’t have much in sight. I am sitting in my computer\laboratory\bedroom writing at the moment. I have my two black... Sign in to see full entry.

Storm Surge; Iran Reply; Parcells “Punkiness”; “Intelligence”

I will begin with a couple of stories about hurricanes, or the "storm surge". Our media needs a big storm bad or stories about big storms. The lack of tropical activity this year is dousing, with some very cold water, a huge portion of the "global warming" theory. Let’s look at the pieces. Max... Sign in to see full entry.

Iran, Get Serious; Saddam, Only Gassed Military; France, Ha Ha; Etc, Etc.

Iran is funny! Ha Ha Ha Ha Ha!! They want to talk serious. The might want to talk, but they don’t want to listen. And that’s where the U.N. is a bunch of wussies. I would not hold talks with Iran. I would tell them what was expected of them and that would be that. Take it or get their butts kicked.... Sign in to see full entry.

Israel, Iran Wrong; Lieberman GOP Support; Karr Krazy; Congo Elections

I took a few days off from blogging. It’s good to clear your head like that every now and then. I don’t think you miss much by taking a few days off. The news does not change much from day to day. I will give my not-so-humble opinion on several news items we have seen over the past few days. It’s... Sign in to see full entry.

My Take On Things (08-17-06)

San Antonio is sweltering under another very hot day. It got over 100° at my house. It was 102°. And we had sun all day. There were very few clouds. At 8 pm it’s 95.4°. That’s summer in San Antonio. It’s not global warming, but it’s really hot. It seems our air conditioner can work well when the... Sign in to see full entry.

Sometimes It’s Just Too Funny

Yes, sometimes it’s pretty funny. The news, that is. Many of the people who are in charge of diplomacy in the world are just elitists who have no idea of the plight of the common man. They have no common sense. They have never generally had jobs in the real world. They have educations, but are not... Sign in to see full entry.

Tuesday Thrashings

It was a miserable day here in south central Texas. The high was 100°. Right now, it’s 7:40 and the temperature is 95°. We have mostly clears skies. There has not been many clouds to even give us a break during the day. No mention of rain in the forecast either. But that’s summer here in San... Sign in to see full entry.

Monday Night Amusement

This writing will probably take us all over the spectrum. It will be a little news, commentary, opinion, and more. That’s why you should keep reading. You will be amused by my tongue-in-cheek style. It’s no use to get too serious about any one thing. Well, unless it’s a very nice young lady as in my... Sign in to see full entry.
