You make a great point.

My dad did as well. He would mix cornbread and buttermilk and eat it. Another one of his favorite things was lettuce and onions with hot grease.
Good morning from ATX. Currently 78°F and mostly cloudy. Increased rain chances around noon. Today's high may max out at around 89°F. We'll definitely take it.
Bucks won NBA championship. Wife ticked because Booker's team lost.
Happy Hump Day!
Wishing happiness and health for all our fellow D-League members.

Today will be a repeat of yesterday right down to the weather. So......
Wonder if any of the antifa 'moms' from Seattle/Portland last year are related? Daughters of? Granddaughter?Watched a documentary on the Mason women last night. Such sweet gals. No way they could commit such heinous crimes.
My Dad loved that too. Ugh! Mom used to make, and Dad loved it, a salad using bacon grease. Imagine about the same thing. Now that I liked. Haven't had for years.
Good morning D-League. It's currently 66° and foggy. This afternoon will bring partly cloudy skies and a high of 84°.
Everyone stay on this Wednesday.

Whoops! I corrected my type-o. Manson women not Mason. That could have ticked off a lot of good people.
Good morning folks. Hazy and muggy in the east.
The air was so thick this morning that the sun rose up like a glowing basketball instead of diffusing its rays like a typical sunrise. This photo snapped with my iPhone doesn't do it justice, but it was more like a moon rise.
Hope everyone has a good day, and stays cool.

Wilted lettuce salad is still popular with some folks. i had it many times at my grandma’s. fresh leaf lettuce and chopped green onions out of her garden with hot grease from fried salt bacon. pretty damned good. some people add a little vinegar to the grease. i’ve made it, like forty years ago, minus the bacon, using hot peanut or canola oil. i haven’t had a slice of bacon or any red meat in 22 years.
Those were crazy days to be in LA.
For want of much else on TV right now I'm watching the series Aquarius, the fictional account of a detective in LA (David Duchovny) during the days when the Manson Family is on the rise...It's not great. The writers strain themselves to make sure we all get that blacks, Hispanics, women and Gays are all treated terribly, thus justifying all the whining and marching around since. So I'm not recommending it.
But there are some parts that aren't bad. The guy playing Manson does a decent job of almost making you feel he's a human broken by his terrible upbringing, just before he does something like viciously punching out his mother and turning her over to a biker gang as a toy.
Our garden is going gang busters......I planted potatoes on 4-27, the garden got planted on 5-18 and the sweet potatoes were planted on 5-27......we have canned green beans and made a few quarts of pickles.....I plan on digging the potatoes and can most of them....I planted a row of Yukon Gold potatoes and so far we are getting about 3-5 lbs per hill.......most of the seed potatoes were cut into quarters so.....each potato planted is coming up with about 15-20 pounds..........the only bug repellent I have used is the agricultural lime the "G" man recommended twice and no chemical fertilizers........
When the Director and myself first got married her mother would come up from NC two to three times a year......the Director's brother would drive her up.......before she left home she would cook up enough cornbread to last the FIL while she was gone.......the only damn thing the man would eat the whole time she was gone was cornbread and buttermilk they made on the farm......I can't get past the first bite.......he told me he liked it better than ice cream and cake.....
They say it is from the fires out west. Those states are the "green" states but they don't manage their forest or scrub land at all and cause all the problems for the rest of the nation. I drove to Thompkinsville, KY. The haze was the worst that I have seen in 20 years. We rednecks in Kentucky don't appreciate those tree hugger out west messing with our clean air.
Morning folks. It is a sunny 74.3°F on our way to 88°.
Buttermilk and cornbread were a staple for mom and dad, especially for dad right before he would go to bed. I don't like it but they did.
Giving away my stash of lumber today to a friend who will use it. It is mainly cherry, walnut and eastern cedar with some oak.
You all have a good day.

I drove close to Thompkinsville on July 13 to visit my cousin in TN. Traveled 249 out of Glasgow. Got behind a couple tractors. Driving 14-17 MPH for 11 miles on those twisting roads really gets on a person's nerves.
You probably remember the 1976 mini series about the Manson murders. Steve Railsback did such a good job playing Manson that it hurt his career.

82 -- Alas, I never saw that. I spent much of 1976 in Alaska on the Trans-Alaska Pipeline and out of range of TV. Thanks for the tip, I'll look for it.
Good morning D, read Hosea 3 this morning.
We have Calfsmog here in KY, California smog.
I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!! Got to get some peaches in some food saver bags today!

My mother made it and I liked it. Haven't had it in 60 years.
Loves me some buttermilk and cornbread. I have it fairly regularly.
My route is over the Cumberland parkway to 90 outside Glasgow then 163 out of Summershade. It is all improved highway and many three lane sections. That is a few miles longer but the roads are a lot better.
I did pass one John Deere tractor and one New Holland combine.
That is a good coined word Cordmaker. Now we need to come up with a coined word that will include Oregon and Washington, you know those states were everyone is a left wing, tree hugging, nut job who look down on stupid folks down south.
I lived in SoCal (Ventura) 1976-81. It was still a nice place to live then. I moved back to SoCal in 91 and lived there until 07 and watched the downward slide. It has gotten much worse since I left and I miss nothing about the place.
I first visited Southern California in 1970. I suppose that was the height of the smog and dirty air. I came in from the Northeast and there was a purple dome over LA just as we cleared the mountains.
California has some fantastic resources and landscapes of all sorts; however, in the last 50 years the leaders of that "most resource filled" state in the Union actually try to screw things up. I have never understood it.
I had a friend once who worked at Lockheed's Skunk Works, Palmdale, CA. He was a brain and as soon as he retired he got the hell out of California. He made a fortune on his house and bought one out of state for a small fraction of what he got.
This was really good listening to
Found a $5 bill about 1/2 hour ago behind 7/11 during my walk.
This morning's haul below. Life is good. Happy Hump Day.

You dumpster dive too?
Dumpster dived when younger. I'll sometimes grab a few things if I can reach 'em.
Just got back from paying my final respect to my tank commander while I was in the National Guard, he was a great guy and friend, in the MILITARY and in civilian life!!!!!!
That time of year. Was repairing a trimmer in the garage that kept shorting out this morning while using it. Heard a plane come over that was fairly loud. Thought....he's kind of low...but kept on working. Happened again a few minutes later. Went out in the yard...had a good idea what it was. Someone up the road was having their field(s) crop dusted. Neat to watch those guys get so low and then barely pull up over a tree or a tree line.
We had one last year that was so low that I could see him waving as he came over the backyard.
Wonder what the cost is for that? Have never asked any farmer friends.

Sorry to hear about your friend.
Happened here last Tuesday. They are wonderful; and I bet it cost a bunch.
Same here @cordmaker .
About 3 years ago a rig much like this one parked next to our property and spent the whole landing...refilling....taking off....and doing it all over again. The truck/rig may have been bigger than this one. It was huge/long. We were having a cookout that night with some family and friends...and they loved it. Free entertainment.
I read where Union Pacific's Big Boy will be running from NOLA to StL in late August. I've already chatted with a friend of mine and it looks like the chase will be on for us. It should be fun.
