It's Saturday Yesterday's email brought the latest propaganda piece from my Congress-critter, as Molly liked to identify them. And Troy E. Nehls, Member of Congress for my district, as he does every week ended his MAGA approved puff piece with a survey... A bit of history here about his surveys...…
It's Tuesday https://youtu.be/riQWKn0rXr8 I find myself enjoying my musical journey more and more. Shannon McNally showed up in my rotation the other day. I only have one of her songs in my library and I didn't recall hearing it before... But something in her voice grabbed me and made me…
It's Friday I've noticed a change in the light this past week. And this morning, there's a change in the feel of the air. And the prognosticators have foretold of a low temperature tonight that actually falls into the '60s... Like almost anyone in the world with access to any…

It's Tuesday Walking through the office this morning I spotted the Audubon calendar that came in the mail yesterday. I immediately had a memory flash. My Grandpa Sewell had one of those very large give me calendars that he got from the local grocer or the feed store hanging on…
It's Friday Today is the opening of GC Myers' solo show at the West End Gallery. The show is called "Chaos & Light". The title of this year’s edition of my annual solo exhibit at the West End Gallery is Chaos & Light. This will be my 21st solo outing at…
It's Thursday If it wasn't so damn hot, it would be a beautiful day out here in Southeast Texas. But, with the temperature already pushing 90, it's definitely a day for inside activities. Just like yesterday, and the day before, and the day before that... Do you notice the brown…
It's Photo Friday This week's Challenge: 'Road'. Talimena National Scenic Byway, June 2010 It was June of 2010 and I had scored some semi-decent tickets to an Eagles concert with the Dixie Chicks opening for them as an early anniversary gift for Sherry... The downside of this was the concert…
It's Thursday I was dragged reluctantly from my slumber by the distant rumblings of thunder at 5am this morning. As I lay there listening... contemplating the rarity of this sound lately... thinking I really should watch this rare event... moisture falling from the sky... RAIN. So I stumbled out of…
It's Tuesday There are clouds to the east of us... There are clouds to the west of us... But there are no clouds to the south of us, or over us... The prognosticators are foretelling of a chance of scattered showers this afternoon. Unfortunately for us, these chances of precipitation…
It's Friday It is extraordinary to see the sea; what a spectacle! She is so unfettered that one wonders whether it is possible that she again become calm.-Claude Monet I haven't done a Photo Friday Challenge in years. This weeks Challenge is "Seashore". So I've dug into my archives for…
It's Thursday There's a meme that's been going around for what seems like forever... Throwback Thursday. I haven't played it, but the outdoor temperature has be wishing for a cooler memory. Here are some of my shots from trips to the mountains... all of which were cooler than here and…
And, it's Friday Rain, rain everywhere... Just not here. More often than not, the radar image above is the way the rain pattern around here looks. Rain will move right up to the edge of my hometown and stop falling. I can watch it happen in real time. It's almost…
It's Thursday There is a promise of rain today, both in the forecast and on the horizon. At some point that promise reaches almost 100%. After teases over the last 3 days, we could really use that promise being fulfilled. The grass and the trees have begun showing more brown…

It's Tuesday Today I got out of bed early and walked out on the porch... Early. The sun hadn't passed the horizon. As a matter of fact, the eastern sky was just a pink glow. Last night, just about bedtime, a small thunderstorm blew over us. It didn't last all…
It's Monday The prognosticators are giving us an optimistic foretelling of moisture falling from the heavens... The rain chances are rising. As you can see, the skies to the east are looking a bit unsettled this morning. The foretelling is of early afternoon thunderstorms scattered around the area. Looking at…
It's Sunday Mary Shelly Once a week I receive an email from Maria Popova that she calls The Marginalian. Maria's essays are always an interesting hyperlinked brain teasing, twisting through time tying together of thoughts and ideas. This weeks essay on Mary Shelly left me with a profound respect for…
It's Saturday To hell with MAGA... I just want America to be America Again! And a bunch of angry old conservatives don't seem to care about what I want... Or even what a majority of my fellow citizens want America to represent. When precedent no longer matters, what makes them…

It's Thursday Today I just visited summer. I walked out our front door... I looked left and I looked right... Then I returned into the house of perpetual spring. With summer officially here this week, I am now entering my reverse hibernation. I've never really hidden from the cold, but…

It's Tuesday There are thunderstorms rolling around, pretty much isolated just over me. Then though the radar map shows there is lightning and thunder off to my east, I'm not hearing it right here. But the clouds are blocking the sun and making it just a bit more pleasant on…
It's Monday It was too warm, too humid, too still... Visiting the back porch this morning was a thing to do, but not a thing to drag out or to enjoy. The temperature at 78°, when added to the 93% humidity just doesn't invite you to sit and visit. So…
Dad was always full of stories. Any trip into his old home grounds of Wharton County would lead to side trips looking for this home place or that home place while he would tell about his family.
It's Friday It's another warm morning on the front porch. The temperature is 78° and the humidity is at 91%. So as I sit here the fan in the chair is blowing at medium. I'm sure not thrilled by the number of large trucks that feel like they have the…
It's Thursday Looking to the east there's a haze in the air. That's the humidity back this morning. According to the weather app, it's at 96%. Though happily, the temperature is only at 77°. After the last week, that's pretty amazing. There are definitely some happy crickets in the grass…
