Speaking of wildlife, whitetail deer are becoming real pests back there. They herd around and get into gardens. Many more car hits these days than back years ago. Fewer hunters and more encroachment by new housing are probably the main causes.

Deer are everywhere around here...as most places I assume. Must populate like rabbits. See them quite often at the back end of our property. Nothing but corn fields back behind us so I imagine they munch on corn. A few years they've ate most of the flowers off our apple and pear trees...or the fruit later in the season.

You sure he's not trans? I thought all derms were female these days.

I live in a fairly populated area and deer, coyote, fox, etc. are seen frequently. Nothing like more rural areas but still, they're here.

I'd buy a laptop and watch flicks on that screen or just do without.... Whew!!! Heck, just use your cell phone...

Man, if I had to go that route I'd give up watching John Wayne movies... (Forgive me Sir!)

That almost hurt my heart...

I was at a CES show in the mid, late 80s (Consumer Electronics Show). One of the TV/electronics companies (Motorola I think) had a huge exhibit space and in it was a wall about 10 ft high and 15 ft long made up of 19 inch flat screens. Believe it was the first time they were displayed publicly...no one had ever seen a 'flat screen'. Asked one of the reps if a 19 inch was on the market what would it go for...said 25K.

Good morning all. Small t'storms all around us last night moving slow with heavy rain. Did I get any? Did any bother to fall on my brown, crunchy, once beautiful yard? That's a big NO.

70 out now heading back to 90. App says no chance rain.

Will be a busy day. Family function this afternoon.

Y'all have a good day.

Good Saturday morning

I had a nice slice of country ham with my eggs and grits this morning with some buttermilk biscuits. A good way to start a Saturday morning.

On to the weather. It is currently 75° and it may reach 90° by mid afternoon. If you are in the path of Ida you better wrap up preparations. She will be visiting soon. Looks like she will slide on by our house but we may get a little wind and some rain.

I am still feeling the pain of the loss of life at Kabul. Just senseless and uncalled for. The leadership of our Military and President allowed this to happen by their God awful stupid exit plan. Just mind blowing. God help us all.

I have some yard waste to haul away today. We have an excellent set up in my little town for recyclable items and waste. At no cost.

Take care all and my prayers go out to those in need and especially the families of our service men and women who have lost loved ones in this horrible war our politicians did not want to win.

Good morning folks. Pounded out a six mile jog in thick humidity and am recovering on my back porch.

There are few pleasures more intense in my book than the first huge bite of an ice cold, perfectly crisp and sweet watermelon after stressing yourself in the heat.

Thinking about driving up in the mountains today. There’s a stretch of the Appalachian trail that cuts across the Crampton’s Gap Civil War battlefield that I enjoy walking.

I hope you all have a good day.

Good morning from ATX. Currently 75°F and clear. 40% rain chances around noon when clouds move in. Our high may top out around 92°F. Sounds groovy. It appears a possible CAT-4 hurricane could hit Louisiana. Hope not.

Yesterday, I grabbed Culver's take out via drive-thru. They forgot an item. Drove 2.5 miles back for my Mushroom and Swiss burger. Ugh! Frustrating.

After a morning walk, more chores on the agenda. May watch volleyball.

Football is back in the Bluegrass next Saturday, y'all!

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

Just using your post as a spring board. I know my post could be figured out by just using common sense, but guys pay heed. I don't just blow smoke and make stuff up. You can do a search of my posts and you will find on the political board (before I started on the D) where a day or 2 before the Nashville bombing I warned of something big happening in Nashville. I'm more trusting in this info than I was Nashville info.

It's amazing how expensive new innovations are when it comes to electronics. The first handheld calculator came to market in 1971 and sold for $395.00. Plasma TVs were only for the wealthy back in the day. It's never a good idea to be one of the first buyers, especially with electronics because there most likely will be newer, better and cheaper formats. I learned my lesson with laserdisc players. Hell, the movies alone cost 50-70 bucks each.

Honestly, I can't believe bears have been coming around either. We saw tail-end of one bear running off after it rummaged through a neighbor's trash can last year out in Shawanee. Dogs went nuts. Not real big, maybe 200 lbs or so by my rough guess. More sightings here lately. Yellow bear signs been up for a few years on Hwy 58 as the road merges into 25E.

The reason we are over populated with a lot these animals is wildlife people keep meddling with them....they have us over ran with Canada geese here in Louisville..........they have distorted the natural balance of nature with their meddling.......

It is 77.9°F here on our way to 91 with only a 20% chance of rain. Sun is shining and the corn at the end of the street is mature and rapidly losing the green color.

I liked that mongoose BBUK. I wish that I was that fast, not to mention brave.

On Afghanistan: it is a circular firing squad. The administration is screwed.

16 Tons by T. Ernie Ford...

That song has a special memory for me as I remember my Maternal Grandpa (Who I could not resuscitate when he died while I was home on leave from the Army.) always claimed he was a coal miner and dug 16 tons of coal a day. Even at a young age I found it hard to believe as my Grandpa was on the talkative side and not the side of work as much as I'd have thought one who worked like that would have been. He was also very poor and rarely had a home to call his own but I loved him.

It may be that I push myself to ensure my Grandparents on both side have something to show for all their children. Who knows... In my small way of thinking that is part of what pushes me. Love and Respect for my elders.

Oh, I hope all's day is going well and I hope your path has been cleared to where you each can have an easier time today to where you can rest. God Bless you all...

Good morning D, still heart broken over what happened to our service men!!! I have now words for it except, that did not have to happen and some people are just shrugging it off!!!!

We had a heavy downpour at 9:30 last night, lasted about 15 minutes, 04" of rain!!!

Taking some homemade peanut butter ice cream(and a Gala apple) to a friend of ours who had surgery.

I hope the D has a great day and Prayers for the D!!!!

If any of the D ever needs some type of plant that they want to grow on a fence line or trellis, find you some Hummingbird vines, it's amazing how fast it grows and spreads!!! Hummingbirds sure do like it. We have been watching it and it grows close to a foot a day! Has red blooms on it!!!

Planted 2 of those two years ago myself. They haven't bloomed and only one has grown more than 15". What's your secret?

Masks are back in full force here and it's only a matter of time before the mandates kick back in. I actually saw a lady wearing a mask in her own yard. What's with these people wearing masks while walking outside alone ? Or alone in their car? Blows my mind. I'm not wearing one unless I have to. Unfortunately, all medical facilities require them and I take the folks to multiple doctors.

I wear a gaiter while mowing during ragweed season. Maybe it was allergies

Just watched The Salzburg Connection, filmed in 1972. Loved those old cars and Germanic European atmosphere. Various scenes were subtitled, yet seemingly authentic. Even though one might consider the flick low-grade as far as plot, scenery was gorgeous.

Scenery/filming is now the reason I watch things much anymore. Stories are all rehashed and reworked garbage for the most part

Used to go to those at the Expo Center in Chicago late 80s. Used to see the coolest stuff. Speakers as big as my hand that were too loud (but had perfect sound) if you were on the other end of the convention hall... Completely outrageous to buy anything there, but some amazing stuff (some of which I still haven't seen available to the public since).

Is it called a "hummingbird vine" or something else? The only one we could find had red-orange flowers... If it is and you see one like yours somewhere for sale, please let me know. I was looking for one with red flowers for my wife.

We'd gotten to the target % for vaccination to reach "herd immunity" and yet hospitals are only now beginning to be overwhelmed with cases and deaths. Seems the shots are doing what the early spreading couldn't. Hearing about people who had mostly no contact with anyone except the vaccinated and are now sick or dying themselves. Otherwise somewhat healthy people.

They continue not to treat anyone until they are seriously ill against all medical common sense and former industry standards.

Friend told me an acquaintance of ours died this past week. One of the most generous and kind people you'd meet. Losing a LOT of such people now.
