I just fell off the turnip truck and landed in a wedding cake
Earlier this year, I agreed to host my youngest son's wedding at my house. I thought it would be a simple affair, maybe 100 people, lots of fun. My own imperfect knots have been tied in Las Vegas, which I thought was a dandy idea, but they woludn't go for it. Little did I know what I was in for. The preparations began 6 months ahead of time. The guest list. It seemed that every cowboy and outfitter from Nogales to...

My favorite chickens
Evening blogsters: I don't recall being overly fond of chickens when I was a kid. Used to have to wring their necks, watch them spray blood and flop all over the place, then scald and pluck them. That didn't encourage me to make pets of them. But during the Y2K non-event one of the most treasured pieces of the months...

Crisp morning - October 2005 is toast
Good morning blogsters. It s a crisp morning here. The Rio Grande valley s got a hazy look to it at daybreak from all the wood fires cranking up on the San Felipe, Santa Ana and Santo Domingo Reservations. Our own village is contributing with wood-smoke from the chimneys, though it probably hasn t drifted into the Rio Grande valley as yet. The aroma of pine wood burning these early fall mornings always gives me a cozy, satisfied feel of peacefulness in th...

Relax, breathe deeply, pause
I've posted this on one of the threads, but it needs to be said more than once, a lot more often than once: Disasters bring out the best and the worst in people, in Americans. It's going to do that during this one. For a while yet everything that can be done is being done in the disaster area by the people who are trained to do it, hired to do it, have volunteered to do it. We all want to help somehow. There's nothing at the moment we can do e...

My Union is more important than Taco Bell... PERIOD
Taco Bell left me 4 messages in my voice mail today. My phone was charging, and since I only have a car charger, I couldn't answer it right away. Kris, call us ASAP - it's really important. Thanks, Bye. -----x4 So, after I went on break, I went to my car and got the phone, and immediately checked my VM as I had 14, yes, 14 , missed calls. I listened to the messages, and promptly called them back to see what the really important thing...

Texas Mounted Rifles
You Texans traveling in New Mexico in the Santa Fe area. When you get tired of the casinos, the museums, the various jewelry and art ripoffs, if you find yourself with time on your hands and would like to have a look at some unusual and little known Texas history, it will be right down the highway from you. For that matter, you could begin by visiting the National Cemetary on the north end of town. There are a number of Texans buried there who were killed at the Battle o...

About the London events
I figure this is going to be a subject that's going to be beaten to death all over the internet for a while, so I might as well muscle up to the trough early. I usually try not to give current news events more attention than they deserve. However, someone sent me an email saying there were terrorist attacks in London, suggesting I turn on my TV. When I responded that I don t have a TV along came a link to Fox News. I pondered this a while, wonder...

Usama bin Laden is Dead
Copy and paste of actual blog entry of a 10 year active duty Navy SEAL, 4 year reserves. Very compelling argument for an event I personally have believed to be a fact since shortly after Tora Bora. Live links within article, also links at the end of the article which go to pages that show intelligence reports, also a report of bin Laden having died and been buried. Also check out the photo...
