66.6°F and cloudy here. That makes it 13°F warmer than yesterday this time.
I am supposed to get mulch put in today. I don't know that it will happen but it is supposed to.
You all enjoy your Saturday. I will pray for the bass in Oklahoma should Warrier Cat decide to fish!

Good Saturday Morning D League
A very pleasant morning to all, we have blue skies with a current temperature of 73° and a high forecast for 86. The typical summer pattern is settling in now with a chance of afternoon thunderstorms around 4:00 PM. Set your watch.
I have spent the last 30 minutes trying to figure out how to celebrate Happy Global Wind Day. Do I fly a kite and eat donuts or what? When I figure it out the day will be good. Until then my nerves are a wreck.
Have a great one.

This morning's haul: Dolla Fiddy Ate. Life is good.
I like the sight of that paper money. Moving on up.This morning's haul: Dolla Fiddy Ate. Life is good.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 76°F. Expecting mid to-upper 90s later today. Hot. Humid. Ugh.
We'll check back later. Y'all behave.
When I retired I considered moving to Tejas - San Antonio to be exact. I wanted out of CA but didn't want go anywhere where the winters were cold. Learned that Tejas was hot and humid. Nope. I hate the high humidity in the summer. Settled on Phoenix where it is hot for about four months but not humid. I haven't regretted my choice.
This is the menu and price list during the time I worked at McDonalds. I worked at the one on New Circle Rd during college. The only item we had that is not on the list was an orange drink. Also the fish sandwich was introduced while I worked there. It sold for twenty cents
The owner was a transplant from Boston and he was the most unethical person I have ever worked for. For example all of the restaurants in town put aside one day to donate all of their coffee money to a children's charity. He disconnect the coffee pot that day and told us to tell all of the customers it was out of order. Lie to them. So what did I do. I told them our coffee pot was disconnected but Burger King just down the road made some great coffee. You can do that when you are a kid and don't give a hoot.

For what it is worth: 15 years I worked in Jacksonville, FL and the thunder storms were that accurate, except they waited until I was ready to walk to the car.
LA or SF?
This looks like some of our beaches when the "save the earth people" come down here. California has some deep problems but I can not see them improving in our lifetime. Liberalism is too entrenched in that state to make any progress. It will only get worse. The only thing we can do is try to keep it out of the places we live. We are doing a very good job of that where I live.
This time of year (late-spring) is very humid, but we'll see less daily humidity beginning over the next few weeks, which should last until September. We've had a wetter-than-average spring. El Niño & La Niña also factor into the equation. Usually snow in December or January means an extremely hot, dry summer follows a few months later, along with drought.
There's a huge.retirement community located north of us: Del Webb's Sun City in Georgetown. A couple co-workers and former co-workers live there. Del Webb formerly owned Sahara and Mint casinos in Vegas , and built the Flamingo in Vegas for Bugsy Siegel.

Great advice
Fish still in the boat, refusing to get out..
Sold the vinyl flooring for $10. Loving these finds. Finally posted the purse on Craigslist.
Here's the ad.
Posting some other stuff later. Heading out to get beer + dinner.

Or find someone whom life has given them tequila!
The problem is that I am very liberal; however, being liberal does not mean being totally stupid.
I am a failed chemist with many hours in science. What they taught me in college was facts, not religion or fables. Then I started to work for the railroad in sales and marketing. They did not need the science hours, so I was forced to take business classes at Louisville, North Florida and Johns Hopkins. So, I got a good blend of factual things along with economic theory and Smith's "Wealth of Nations".
Liberal ideals (the real definition) are "new ideas" that don't depend on accepted ideals of the past. Today “liberals” are not “liberals”. They want to change the word to mean political ideas of the socialist left. They are not liberal at all. They all fall back to Karl Marx’s ideas that have been proven to totally fail in every instance trued at the cost of 100,000,000 lives just in the 20th Century.
Today the "liberals" are fools who have majored in sociology, liberal arts or some drama courses that have little to do with the earth or how our society or capitalist systems work. Human are not bees or ants. We are individuals that work for ourselves. Any governmental system that is socialist works against what we humans want.
California has the most resources of nearly any state in the Union, except possibly Texas and Alaska; however, they have taken a course where the "political" opinions are based on socialist ideals that have been proven over and over to fail every damned time that they are tried.
What we see are instances where the citizens of the failed socialist or non-capitalist systems are forced to move to survive. They seek out the countries where opportunities are the best. Yet when they get to that country they bring the same virus that infected their parent country. The U.S. does not need that crap.
In 1970 I was liberal as hell. I wanted total freedom and equality, both social and economic, for all folks in our country. I wanted total, equal access to all things. If you busted your butt and worked hard you could make it. I did bust my butt and worked hard and ended up with a little money. I am still liberal as hell and I still want the same things that I wanted in 1970, except now they call me conservative. I am not conservative.
Why do they call me conservative?
I lost a lot of my good friends fighting the god damned communist in this world. Now the Liberals are damned socialist and I doubt that they are one degree removed from a damned commie. They do not want total freedom and equality for all folks in our country. They want economic subjugation.
They will have a hard time ever getting me to vote for those slim balls.
Screw them.

Plus I bet it would work!
I just watched the Florida-Kentucky football replay. Some of the calls against us even had the announcers puzzled. They always came at a time when Florida was on the ropes and we could pull away. But the refs kept it close. I think the reason is we are not respected as a football program. These calls would not be made against Bama, Georgia or Clemson.
But with victories respect can come . I think we are on the right track.

No Bert. You just don't understand. You see, it's DEMOCRAT SOCIALISM! It's never been tried before and it can work!
Now, we all know that was a joke. What about the people who say things like that and believe it? How did they get to be like that?
I think they are incapable of being what they think they should be and are trying to move the goalposts closer to their field position. It's not fair for some to do so well when they've done so poorly. How could it be their fault? They've been taught since birth that poor results due to poor choices are not their responsibility or fault.
O'bama was right about one thing. This country needs change. He was just wrong about the direction. We need to slowly start trending back toward personal responsibility because to continue in the direction we're going now is the same as marching off a cliff because the guy in front of you marched off a cliff.

I sure hope so! It's so important to do good this year if we are going to sway opinions. Don't forget, the sportswriters of the ACC aren't to keen on adding yet another SEC team they have to respect.
I am really excited about the upcoming season. It will be another hill to climb and although we won 10 games last year and beat Penn State in a good bowl game, very few on the national scene think we will have more than 6 or 7 wins. Some pick us for less than that. The Cats have an opportunity to show the world they are wrong again. Barring major injuries I think we will surprise the football world once more. That builds respect
We have 8 home games this year. Put me in the group that expects to see a better team this year. I think we're going to see more passing plays than we're used to now that Benny is gone and we aren't running up the middle as often.
I am a social conservative but I do not believe in trying to impose my social values on others. Yes I will state my opinion on the issues without hesitation. But live how one will as long as it doesn't affect others in a negative way..
I am a fiscal moderate. I recognize that in a capitalist economy there has to be losers. So there are people who deserve help. But there are multitudes who scrounge off the taxpayers their entire life without any shame and need to be cut off the teat.
Write it down. I'll sign it.
