Tuesday, March 5, 2019 – Fat Tuesday – Laissez le bon temps rouler

It is Mardi Gras Ya’ll. Let the Good Times Roll!

Throw me some beads!

If you are raising your shirt to get some cheap plastic beads you can buy at the party store place, you better have a couple of hurricanes from Pat O’Brian’s inside you. It is cold outside!

Mardi Gras is French for “Fat Tuesday” — meaning it is the last opportunity to eat rich food before the fast of Lent begins. It is related to celebrations elsewhere, called “carnivals,” from the Latin words carne and vale,“meat” and “farewell,” meaning a farewell to meat before the abstinence of Lent.

Peace, Love and Gumbo

Wednesday, February 06, 2019 – The Thought for the Day

The morning begins.

You know it is going to be rough day when you are in your bathroom and you realize the last roll of toilet paper is in the guest bathroom.

Wednesday, January 30, 2019 – Polar Vortex

I hope you are not in the polar vortex and that you are safe and warm by a fire and sipping something nice. It’s a might chilly here in Texas, but at least one can go outside and not literally freeze. By Saturday the temperature is expected to be 75. Stay warm.

That Monday morning feeling when you hear the temperature will be 32 degrees in the morning.

Wednesday, January 16, 2019 – Winter is Coming

Winter is coming! Do you ever wonder if Game of Thrones is actually in the future and not a fantasy of the past? I keep my crown ready just in case it is prophetic instead of dystopian past.

But winter is coming to Texas so they say. On Friday the high temperature in the Brazos Valley is expected to be around 72 and sunny with thunderstorms in the evening. Saturday night the low temperature is projected to be in the upper 20’s with a high in the 50’s on Sunday morning.

As usual I am prepared with the four basic food groups needed for hunkering down. Sweet, salty, alcohol and chocolate. Miss Peach has input and output necessities and is ready to sit on the heated throw in my lap.

But hey! It’s Texas. The following week’s temperature will rise and hover in the sixties and seventies. But alas, February will soon arrive and that means trail rides and rodeos. This always means rain and cold. Real cowboys don’t sleep in motor homes. Just saying.

Everybody stay warm and cover your petunias.

Friday, January 4, 2019 – Snarky Friday

Clemson! Orange is the new Crimson.

ROLL TIDE!

It was a long night in Waco, wasn’t it, Geno? Way To Sic ‘Em Lady Bears!

68-57 over UCONN!

Thursday, January 3, 2019 – I’m Still Mad and PETA

Georgia is still on my mind. You had one thing to do. Next year you can play Notre Dame for The Let Your Fans Down Bowl. The Aggies will see you in Athens.

As soon as Bevo jumped into the crowd, the officials at The University of Texas should have begun their retort letter to PETA. You knew it was coming. PETA it seems does not like live mascots for colleges and universities. This is the same group that wanted to build a twelve foot marble monument in Bryan to the chickens killed in a truck accident on Highway 6. Here’s what I’m thinking. Unless those chickens play football, sing like Lyle Lovett or Robert Earle Keen, there is not going to be a monument to chickens other than this one.

But back to Bevo. Bevo it seems does not like dogs. Read Pulitzer Prize winning Austin American Statesman columnist’s Ken Herman’s take on Bevo, dogs and PETA. I feel certain that PETA poked Bevo.
