My dad and mom did that. I like butter milk in cornbread and bread and my home made blue cheese dressing, but I am not about to drink it.
Morning folks of the D-League. It is a cold, damp, 38.1°F here. We got .77" of rain overnight.
Thanks Rooster for the moss and lichen. That moss is a work of art and it cover the entire cemetery.
The Cats are 1-4. I don't ever remember that bad a start.

Which is why I carry a $1m personal liability policy. Covers something like that, to if a Jehovah's Witness turn their ankle on my property. Only costs about $110 per year, and it is well worth it, for the peace of mind.

No, you were right. That's nasty.
Use sour cream making my konbread!
You missed the best comeback attempt here late.y. They improved a lot.
Yeah we have some rental properties and carry extra liability for the same reason. Plus a $1M umbrella over everything. Hate paying the premiums on any insurance...but being as the US of A is a sue happy society, you have no choice.
I have one also and would recommend everyone to carry it. Mine is excess over any liability policy I have also. Like auto and homeowners. A little extra protection and worth the cost of about $10 a month.
Sounds like that would go well with a Caesar salad...

During my noon walk, I found two - $1 bills folded up sitting under a plastic container with food inside on a waist-high column. The stuff I come across during these walks is crazy.
Speaking of buttermilk. The secret to making the best fried chicken is to soak it in buttermilk first.
Ok someone on here told me how to fix a Cornish hen some time back, will you please tell me again. Thanks!
Cordmaker made two badges for me. They are the two men who were my Chiefs of police while I was an elected official. They are fine men.
Johnny Vance and his wife.
Tom Suoy and his wife.
Below is part of the private message that I sent to Cordmaker describing the two policemen.
Johnny Vance is a native of Barren County, Kentucky. Johnny’s uncle was Van Vance who did the UL radio and TV broadcasts. When he was our Chief he got an FBI top ten wanted man arrested because he knew the area better than anyone.
He was followed as chief by Tom Souy, a native of Cambodia.
Tom is the story that is important. A Smith Grove church sponsored his family after Pol Pot's thugs killed his father with a machete and his mother and brother escaped Cambodia and made it to Thailand. Tom had never seen a TV until he got on a plane going from Thailand to the Philippines.
These two men took care of me when I was Commissioner and Mayor. Police are special. I love them both and they love me.
In my little town all the Chiefs of Police have the same badge number "701". Here are the badges that Cordmaker made.
That is a great Christmas present to two good men.

On the theme of cemeteries started by Bert, I have been in contact with a man who is in charge of a very small cemetery in Clearwater, FL. The Rousseau Cemetery that dates back to 1870. It is located in the middle of Hercules Ave and the road South passes on the right and the road North passes on the left as you face this marker. I have 5 ancestors buried there and one my g-grandfather, L.L. Blanton's, head stone is faded and weathered to a point you can not recognize the name any longer. I am working to restore or replace it and I am excited to be able to do this. The cemetery is not fenced or have any security but since 1870 has never been desecrated or vandalized. Thank God.
Another cemetery a few miles away is Sylvan Abbey and this cemetery holds the first and oldest grave in Pinellas County, FL. It is William Taylor and his wife. Lavinca, and small daughter are also buried next to him. This grave dates back to 1853 and is in the Pioneer Section. I have my grave site to the left of where he is buried. He is my g-g-g-grandfather.
The graves are made of "tabby" which is a oyster shell and coquina shell concrete mixture very common in that era. They also made houses from this mixture.

Good morning from ATX. Currently we've got 40°F, clear and calm. Today's high looking like 64°F. We'll take it.
Happy Tuesday! At least it's not Monday.
Wishing happiness and health to all our fellow D-League members.

Mornin' all. It's a cold morning in Ohio...about 20. Cold the rest of the week with maybe a little snow tomorrow. But this time of year.....I don't mind it at all. Cold and snow for the Christmas season if fine by me.
Use to hate some of the Christmas weather when I lived in Atlanta. Sunny and 50s or 60s. Was hard to get into the Christmas spirit when it feels like March or April.
Hope y'all have a good day.

I have a question for you MILITARY VETS, do you immediately know where someone has served by looking at their service ribbon?
Good morning D League
Our local weather station is located on Pine Island and they are reporting 52° with sunshine and only a 5% chance of rain. We will get up to 68° and our winds are WNW at 7 mph. Should be a pleasant day on the Gulf Coast.
This morning I had two good sized deer in my back yard for about 15 minutes. They don't usually hang around for over a minute or two.. After a refreshing drink from the lake they hung around and were enjoying something to eat out back as they grazed through the yard.
Our governor is on top of the COVID vaccine and in a few days all health care workers and nursing home patients will be vaccinated, if they want it. I trust all have a great day.

Yes, usually. Post or point out and I might be able to look-up.
I am headed over to Cedar Key this afternoon to pick up about 25 lbs of Gulf Shrimp, fresh off of the boat. They are cleaned and ready for the freezer.
I will give you a tip if you want an excellent family run seafood restaurant with the freshest, best served meals that were swimming in the Gulf the night before. They have an unbelievable all you can eat platter for $13.95. Shrimp, oysters, crabs you name it.

ATX, I was just looking around trying to find something related to retired MILITARY VETS and ran across service ribbons and how each one was made different. That just got me to thinking if there was a retired ribbon given to those who served and retired. Just great respect for those who have served!!!!
Good morning D-League. I hope all is well with all y'all.
Slow days here - just working and taking walks and waiting for the kids to come in from Austin and Lexington for Christmas.
My son - our youngest - turns 21 today. There are lots of moments when it feels like you closae out a chapter in life. Certainly he's not been a child for a while, and has been living away from home for more than three years. But with his official adulthood, I guess it closes the book on my years raising children. As you fathers and mothers know, that's a job that never ends, but all my kids are certified adults now.

Use to travel to Savannah and New Orleans quite a bit. On almost every trip I would get fresh shrimp right off the boat. In Savannah I'd go right to the shrimp boats as they were coming in...tell them what I wanted and they'd pack it up right there on the boat. In N.O. there would be trucks off the side of the road on the way out to the airport selling it in the bed of the truck packed (dry ice) and ready to go.I am headed over to Cedar Key this afternoon to pick up about 25 lbs of Gulf Shrimp, fresh off of the boat.

Couple times bought fresh lobster in the Logan Airport (Boston) where they would do the same thing. Pack in dry ice and you'd take it on board with you.
For Army retirees, I'm not aware of any. There is an Army Service Ribbon.
The year was 1962, before global warming. I remember my grandmother told me we were entering the ice age. She did not have any heat in her house, didn't need it. Needless to say she lost most of the grove. They fired them up but 18 degrees was a little too much. Her brother in law lived in Plant City, FL and he said it was 12 degrees on his farm
Thanks Austin, the only thing I can think of was maybe red, white, blue strips of glass about 1" wide and about 5" long, in colors with which ever branch of service they served in, like for example green for Army at the top or bottom. Still would like to figure out something for VETS!!!!
I did the same thing OHIO COLONEL. I picked them up at Legal Seafood at Logan and they packed them in ice for my flight back home. Here are a couple we fixed for supper.
