Morning, Miss Rika-Here you are (even though I showed it to sg first):

Morning!

In New Mexico the democrats cower
Their cries more strident by the hour.
And making more obvious the undeniable:
For them, voter trust is not inviolable!

: ( Not even the Leagues best passer is inviolable From overzealous coaches running delayed zone blitzes in a f*ng preseason game.....

[Texan5]

I do want to see him call a third session. Hopefully, they will self-destruct if he does. Frank Madla is very wealthy and could hold out indefinately on the income from his ranch alone, but not most of the others.

"Impregnable to assault or trespass; invincible: fortifications that made the frontier inviolable."

Okay, I'm must be mixed up this morning. Is the meaning of this definition "chastity belt"? It was a big frontier, ya know.

[honeygrl]

Do you have these bugs in Texas?




They were all over the place at my mother in laws house and they are really scary looking. And those huge things on the first one's head are pinchers. Apparently, the first is male and the second a female of the same type of bug. The website I got the photo from says the male has those huge pinchers but only the female's bite hurts.

[honeygrl]

Oh and those photos are actual size on my monitor.

We saw my great nephew on Sunday. He's 18 months old. First time I've seen him. He is so darned cute.

I subscribe to a (don't all y'alls mug me for this) liberal magazine. It's called "Ranger Rick." My nephew, Nobi, ate the danged thing. We both love the pictures. LOL!

[RikaStrom]

Pretty stupid to do that in preseason, dontcha think?

A+

[RikaStrom]

Oh you don't really think they are paying for their trip to NM by themselves do you??! /heavy sarcasm

[Conspiracy Guy]
