[Bert Higginbotha]

Been busy and have not posted today.

It has been a good day.

By the way I have not seen Rooster today and I have a question for a biologist.

I went to the Higginbotham Buckingham Cemetery Friday and I need to ask @_Rooster a question:

What kind of mosses are these:

 

[tapemaster8]

I didn't even get to watch it, thanks to my local CBS and Dish being in a dispute.

That’s why I kept my tv tower and antenna.

 

[tapemaster8]

Same here buddy.

My prayers may not do a lot of good but they come straight from the heart.

I believe they help and thanks!

Whats shakin’?
Been a helluva 3-4 weeks for me.
Everybody hang tough.
Could be better, could be a lot worse.

Everyone is suffering at home, at school, and at work. Simultaneously, we're seeing what appears to be the manifestation of exploitation of that confusion by intentional societal deceptions while focused on domestic concerns. Many are seeing and experiencing this in our lives. The evil of this despair is real. So must the enlightenment of our response, that's why we pray for wisdom too.

Jaguars once roamed the Texas countryside. Recent sightings suggest a few might still be out there.

A few males wander into Arizona from Northern Mexico. We may not have the females, with their smaller territories, for them to take up permanent residency. I'm sure we could establish a population if that was a scientific focus. Like the wolf, management is political not biological. Lots of fake BS around predator ecology.
Here's one of the 3 being week studied here in Arizona after being poached.

Looks like here in the Berg, it's going to be a washout on the meteor shower, going to rain into the morning! I am still going to get up around 4 and check it out. Seems like it does this every year, rains on the peak night. If not may try tomorrow night, there will be a few stragglers. I think there is a web site that shows the shower.

Night D!!

I went to the Higginbotham Buckingham Cemetery Friday and I need to ask @_Rooster a question:

What kind of mosses are these:

The Kelly green moss with the tiny white flowers likely an Irish moss (sometimes called castle moss).
the gray bryophyte a silver lichen.

I tried an antenna, but my location(in between hills) kept me from picking up the local stations.

We are enjoying a wonderful Collingsworth Family Christmas Special this evening. What a talent Kim is on the piano.

It put me in the Christmas spirit that is for certain sure.

Holy mosses?

Whats shakin’?
Been a helluva 3-4 weeks for me.
Recovered from COVID with no issues, except...
About the time I recovered my back started acting up. I think it was aggravated from lying on my back so much when I was coping w/the rona.
Sciatic nerve has been killing me this week. I got prescribed an anti inflammatory, steroids and got a shot all to no avail. Was finally able to do exercises starting yesterday. On top that the Cats have sucked. Yeesh.
My brother is still recovering with his bout of COVID. He was in the hospital for a week on oxygen, never on a ventilator though.
Everybody hang tough. Cats will still get it together by March...if there is a March.

Could be better, could be a lot worse.

Damn OEC you need a break. Best of luck to you and your family.

 

[UK82]

Had to share. My sister sent this to me earlier today. Hanging out with my Dad circa 1963.

 

[warrior-cat]

I thought they were Randy Moss and his son Thaddeus Moss.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Good morning from ATX. Currently 38°F, clear with a slight breeze. Front moved in yesterday and brought us just a trace of some much-needed rain. We'll top out at 55°F today. Drought conditions still in effect.

Monday, Monday....

Wishing happiness and health to all our fellow D-League members.

 

[cordmaker]

Good morning D, no go for stargazing!!!

No glass work today, fingers on my right hand are cut up and sore and need some rest from cutting and grinding glass. It's been a good working on glass!

Still praying for the D, praying for you Bev! I know what it's like to lose a brother, mine was in 1967 and it still hurts!

Have a goodun D!

 

[MdWIldcat55]

Good morning D League. Out for a hike before settling into the work week.

Continued prayers for Bev.

Two my kids trekking in this week, daughter from Austin and son from Lexington. Should help ramp up the Christmas spirit around my place.

I hope everyone has a great week.

 

[AustinTXCat]

Wow, interesting.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Good Monday Morning D

We are currently 70° clear scattered clouds and no active alerts in the Gulf. We are not for our high of 75° and we will have a steady 14 mph wind from the WSW.

I trust all are well, if you are hurting may the Lord bless you and touch you.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Wow, interesting.

Boston with a -11.6 when on the floor. Wow

Like Neal Boortz use to say....any day that you're vertical is a good day.

Morning to all. Haven't posted much...been busy with who knows what. Ever have a lot of little things that don't amount to much and you sit back and wonder where the time went?

Austin.....is this not a special day? National Gripe Day (for our Rafter friends), etc?

 

[AustinTXCat]

Milk truck from a nearby dairy lost roughly 10 milk crates early this morning containing 9 half-gallons each of buttermilk. Milk all over North Lamar Blvd. What a mess.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

This is fitting for 2020. "There is no Peace on Earth and Goodwill To Men. Hate is strong that mocks the song." But God is not dead nor does He sleep.

 

[Sawnee Cat]

Waking up to some good church music played on a real piano. When ever this lady is within 100 miles we make an effort to see her in concert. She plays the piano the way it was invented to be played.

Every day, even a perfect season, is National Gripe Day on Rafters.

Especially WOWK, which the game was on, since their tower is closer to Charleston. If another game is on, and they are still not carrying the channel, you are welcome to drive in to my house to watch. That's why I switched to Spectrum, along with faster internet speeds, since my grandkids have been doing online school work from our house.

From the sound of it, I didn't miss much.

What I've noticed about them is that if we are not winning, it's all about Cal and how he can't coach. If we are winning, it's about the uniforms, logos on the floor, the crowd isn't loud enough, we don't get enough practice time in Rupp, Mitch is putting too much money into football, etc. Those people have to gripe about something, all the time.

They played much better the 2nd half. Played with some intensity, and actually looked like they were having fun. I'm hoping the light came on for them and begin to improve.

I keep buttermilk in my fridge nearly all the time. This is a tragic event.

My wife drinks buttermilk every day of her life. She makes sure we do not run out.

I would have gladly picked up several half-gallons, but we can't stand buttermilk.

Ouch, profit. I've been craving buttermilk lately too. (I don't want it that bad but will see about grabbing a quart the next time I am in Walmart (Before the price goes up due to the apparent shortage now. ) BUT, .................................................................................................. No use crying over spilt milk.. (Yeah, I know, slap me for it but it fit.) 🤭

Oh, Good Morning and, I DO hope you all have VERY happy holidays. Jesus IS the reason for the season! God bless you all and your families.... I pray you have Joy and a Merry Heart... (It doeth good like a medicine.) (Took that from the bible.)

 

[BBUK]

You beat a brother but it's great!

They are good at it though Sir. Practice makes...

The Kelly green moss with the tiny white flowers likely an Irish moss (sometimes called castle moss).
the gray bryophyte a silver lichen.

You do that in my house Sir and you will clean it up... please.

 

[BBUK]

Comedy gold...



Quite liberal back in their day...

BUT, it seems like they came around....

 

[OHIO COLONEL]

I can't stand buttermilk. My Dad loved it. Would dip his cornbread in it. As a kid I would almost gag.

Buttermilk is health food.

It is healthier than whole milk, one cup contains 100 calories and 1.3 grams of saturated fat. Whole milk contains around 150 calories and 5 grams of saturated fat. I love it with cornbread and if my wife can do one thing it is make cornbread.

Had a friend of mine who a few weeks ago stopped at a Mickey D's. Has about a 15-20 year old F-250 (maybe 350...it's a big one). Diesel. Had a bracket holder on his gas tank break which led to a leak in the tank. Don't know if it fell and cracked/leaked or if it had been rubbing and started leaking. Police and fire dept had to be called to clean it up. He got hit with a $3,000+ bill.

Our friend Gassy is a supposed lover of soy. It's healthy too....just sayin'. 😊
