Raking leaves in late Winter? Due to the cold freeze or tidying up before Spring growing season starts? Which is any day now in Texas I assume.?
Both. "SNOVID" wrecked our tree out back. Possibly killed it. Much more cleanup remains. Still must rake and sweep our carport. Lots of work. Doubtful we receive any additional freezes.
 
Glad you're still around.
Thanks, our societal shutdown has crushed small business. My family has not been immune to these complications. Confused by the chaos because they've been lied too and scared of that road to hell paved with good intentions by barbaric godless do-gooders suffering from the deceitful delusions of satanic purity. When they ask for assurances, I tell them the truth as I know it to be. That when you burn down an ecosystem it's ability to support life is diminished before it is restored. Human neighborhoods are no different than forests in that the life adapts to the ecotones created by habitat successional stages. Eco-homogeneity creates vulnerabilities. As always man will be flawed in the decision making, nature of the beast.
 
Good morning from ATX. Currently 45°F and clear. Clouds moving in later today. We'll top out around 77°F.

Monday, Monday.........

I've still got mucho yard work scheduled this week. A few leaves continue falling from the possibly dead tree. Trimming hedges also in store.

Cats next game is this coming Thursday at 12 noon against Mississippi State down in NashVegas. Could be the last for this season. Hope not.

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

At the end of the day it all comes down to money. If there is money in it, politicians will endorse it whether it is right or wrong or hurtful or not. None of that matters if there is money to be made. They will destroy good for the $$$$$. It has been this was since the beginning of humanity.
 
My wife has a thing for rocks also.......I told her when she gets stopped for stealing relics from the old castles/cathedrals that I am going to act like I don't know her.....Dover Castle, Palace at Versailles, The Ruins of Bury St Edmonds......the list is long.......
Not a rock collector but, I did bring one each back from Saudi, Iraq, and Kuwait.

Yeah baby, love me some chocolate covered peanuts, clustered or otherwise. Problem is, I don't know when to quit eating them unless I run out.

71° on tap for the day with a couple of 80 plus degree days up coming this week.

Yeah and when pettiness, unfounded arrogance, and Socialism/Communism are being incorporated, life as we knew it is untenable....😡

Oh, God still wins in the end and his children will reign with him. Hallelujah....

May God bless you all and keep you safe during today's journey and beyond.

My favorite candy. My sentimental mother still sends me a couple packages from a store in Kentucky where they sell a particular brand of chocolate peanut clusters every Christmas.

Hope all is well in the D-League on this Monday morning.

I've never been into collecting rocks from places. But since my boyhood I've been very into hunting for fossils and indian relics whenever I get a chance.

Here's something I found in a dried creek bed in rural Campbell County on recent visit to Kentucky.


I sent a photo of it to a woman I know in the Smithsonian. What is it? A section of a large example of one of these, Orthoceras Nautaloid. Roughly 400 million years old. That's the part that always makes the hair on the back of my neck stand up. By the way, not rare or valuable, though most fossils of this creature are much smaller, like a roll of quarters. I have a lot in that size range.

Looks like a giant dinosaur dropping to me, but what does an old country boy know!

Very nice Rooster! And similar to lots of stuff I'd find as a kid in Northern Kentucky - crinoids stems and brachiopods and I see a small orthoceras nautaloid at what I'd describe as the top of the lower right quadrant. This is a look at the bottom of the sea in the Ordovician Period around 400 million years ago, based on what I've been told.

Only 325 million years ago... (Can't use "carbon" dating. Climate change...) 😁
 
I am the dinosaur
It's called the D-league.

"Family Histories of Edmonson County Kentucky"
JOHN RICH; an early pioneer of Edmonson County KY was John Rich. he was born in NC 8 Sep 1810 to William Rich and Lucy Lee Rich. His brothers and sisters were James, Sarah, Sydney, Obed, Nancy, Charlotty, William jr, Polly, and Patsy. William Rich died in IL sometime after writing a letter to his son John, expressing a desire to see him again in KY. When John Rich first came to KY is not known, but he was in the state when he was 18 yrs old. At that time he fell in love with Miss Elizabeth Morris who was 16 yrs old. John Rich followed Elizabeth to Bowling Green KY where they were married 16 Oct 1829. Sometime after John and Elizabeth were married, they moved to IL where her parents and His had gone to live. While there, John took part in the Black Hawk War of 1832. After he came home from the War, he moved his family back to Edmonson County KY. they settled near Nolin River not far from Dismal Rock. John and Elizabeth had 12 Children: Tabitha, James Riley, Mary, Lucy A, Martha Jane, Sarah, William Allen, Miles Washington, Nancy, Hiram, Thomas, Emeline, John Wilson and Clara Rebecca. John Rich was a Baptist and was a messenger to the Green River Association several time dating as early as 1841. In 1868 John was the trustee of the Holly Springs Church at Dismal Creek when a deed for one acre of land was obtained from W. C. Dodge for a church house. When the small church divided in 1874 John went with the "Moon Association" and became known as a hard shell Baptist because he believed in corresponding with Missionary Baptist Churches. John was said to have been of dark complexion and very strong. It is rumored that he was part Indian. This may have been true, or it could have stemmed from his exceptional abilities to use a bow and arrow. He could also handle a gun with the ease of the true marksman. Wild game was bountiful in those days and John Rich was truly home in the forest of Edmonson County KY. Elizabeth Died 22 Dec 1881 and John died 12 Nov 1882. both are buried in the Rich Family graveyard near Nolin Dam in Edmonson Co KY. By Billie Jo Rich. (Poteet Cemetery - MCNP)

A lot of people are afraid to go over this bridge and will go four hours out of the way to avoid it. And others think it is as much fun as a roller coaster ride at the State Fair.

I will never forget the day the old one fell into Tampa Bay killing over 30 people.

Haven't gone over the new bridge yet...have the old one.
Have gone over this one twice. First time as a kid. Don't drive....you walk. For about 70 years it was the highest bridge in the world. Still remember that first time. 1,000 feet below you. Royal Gorge in Colorado.....

That looks nerve-wracking Sawnee. When we go to the beach in Delaware, or to visit my wife's brother there, we cross the Chesapeake Bay Bridge, which has earned the title below. Honestly, I don't find it scary at all but it freaks out my wife and daughter - though both drive it often enough. There have been a number of fatalities over the years, many involving 18-wheelers on windy days...

I've driven that a few times, no biggie but I wasn't aware of that history. May have to be afraid the next time. ;)
 
Just wanted folks to know I got a short text from FCC saying he had just finished treatment at Radcliffe Ky. called Lincoln Trails. Says he feels great. So if Y'all would keep him in your prayers!

Will do. Hope The Lord gives him the strength to overcome it, this time. Thanks for the update.

No kidding. The best is when some seer tries to see through my eyes, then tell me what I see or worse . . . what I don't. I've had educated people explain to my face, I'm made of heavy elements fused in a celestial super nova event that occurred some 15 billion years ago and that I needed proof of divinity in a universe expanding at the speed of light in all directions.
