William Tell didn't use explosives on that apple.
Eaker and Humble did use them on the lemon.
Yea, I know. And sometimes I'm jealous...sometimes... but not often.
I meant to say One of the Real Texases, since there are at least five distinct Texases, maybe more.
In the event we decided not to swing down to San Antonio, and instead just did the nickle tour of Fredricksberg, where I'll take in the Nimitz Museum of the Pacific War tomorrow, and then on down to Kerrville, where we ar now ensconced. Wife has some stupid meeting or something at the YO Ranch Resort Hotel, from which I'm now posting. Plan is to hit San Antonio for supper tomorrow. Then more meetings for her, and lazing about for me, on Tuesday. Then back to central Texas.
There's all sorts of odd folks in the Big East Woods.
The Big East Woods (aka The Big Thicket) were settled, if you can call it that, before the Gringos got down to San Antonio de Bexar or the Austin Colonies. But some of those Scots-Irish that did the settling were passing strange folks it's true. Most of 'em were running from the law I'm told, that being a pretty lawless place at the time.
Did you know that it was a Captain Sylvester that captured, or at least helped capture, old Santa Ana? I guess that was pretty close to Las Casas de HAT, especially Eaker.
Why start being coherent at this late date?
Well, I guess it wouldn't hurt to give it a shot. I'm far enough away, in Kerrville, to be out of the blast radius. :)
;-)
That you did! LOL! Wish I’d been there!
Appropriately, I have actually broken bread with these ppl!
;o)
In THAILAND???
Thanks for coming, it was an absolute BLAST!
'Twas indeed. The video is now being shown to family in Virginia and being received very well (lots of cracking up.)
Where are you?
Working long hours and little down time so...just stopped by to read a bit and catch a few headlines.
Shoot, I didn't even know Mr. Jim was in the hospital until today.
And now I've gotta run. I'm taking my Mom to eat out tonight. WOO-HOO! Ya'll be safe.
I wish it were longer but terrorists don't last long around here!
They get disarmed and Raptor-smacked in a hurry.
If I videotape myself blowing up a Koran with a big firecracker after beating on it with a shoe, would I be in trouble? I’d really like to do this....
It’s good to know that the Huffman terrorist population has dropped by one.
Good work, guys!
