tejanarusa commented on the blog post Tom Tancredo Announces Run for Colorado Governor
Unbelievable. I was really hoping we’d heard the last from him.
Of course certain politicians newer to the game are beginning to make Tancredo look, cough, almost sane (see Virginia’s R lt. governor candidate, for example).
The state of our politics is truly sad. -

Ah, lovely Fenway. Thank you, TBogg.
Especially appreciate the dogz today. Once again I have foolishly fallen in love with dogs I have never seen…this time through facebook posts by their owner. Two giant dogz, a Newfie female and a Great Pyrenees male.
The Pyr boy is much like bassetts, it seems; he really, really hates to get his nails trimmed. So, he must be sedated or muzzled and much blood is risked. Tuesday, twelve hours after the sedative, the lovely and sweet-hearted (outside of nail-trimming time) Pyr suddenly stopped breathing.
The number of his fans-who-never-met-him and are now mourning him in cyber-public may rival the number of your bassets’ fans, TBogg.
It’s bad enough when one of my own animals dies, but now I feel pain when dogs I know only through stories and photos leaves his person behind on earth.
But, it wouldn’t be painful if they didn’t bring us such joy while with us, would it?
Well, sorry to bring y’all down. I have a giant sad, and the lovely sight of Fenway snoozing under his quilt (doncha know it’s COLD in San Diego) is a little poignant tonight. -

Yeah. Incredible. Will climate change mean we’ll see EF 7 some day?

Hi, people. Almost no sleep last night, fighting with failing printer needed to submit somethuing to court in am. so took mid afternoon nap, awoketo hear of the devastation yet again in Moore, Ok. Unbelievable. Talk that it might qualify as EF effing SIX? Appalling pictures and interviews. But again, hero teachers, discovered protecting kids with [...]

I’m thinking this just HAS to be funny.
Odd, nothing from recent years really comes to mind…maybe one of the young’uns can think of something more modern?

Oh, Lord, yes, Bear country!Anything by Dave Barry, if you’re up to reading. Or Carl Hiaasen. Their books always make me genuinely laugh out loud.

So sorry to hear about your aunt. I know your beloved Mr. ReddHedd and your Peanut will love and support you. Your [...]

Always late, lately…but can’t miss the doggies! And Mrs. T. Love the horizontal lines in this lovely photo.
And here’s hoping the lovely Mrs. T can still walk today. -

He put up a quick post on FB. Not sure what happened. But it must have been sudden.

Morning OverEasy peeps. spending the morning on the phone, mostly not reaching the people I need to reach. Clients being released on bond, may or may not get any transportation from detention (deliberately in midst of nowhere). Just open the door, say, “you’re on your own.” Sigh. And our beloved Sen. wacko, er Grassley, has [...]

jawbone, every report I’ve heard about the agreement among the European retailers has listed H&M as one of the first signers.
Not that that makes it true, of course. But that was part of the reason the agreement was big news, because H&M is so huge.

Msmolly, thanks for the refurbished link. I’m not rushing out to buy a MacBook Air, but will be ruminating on it, I think. If the immigration courts are going to allow them, it might be well worth it. (right now all electronics are prohibited, except at a few enlightened courts like that one). Sorry about [...]

Need edit for the above posts. Aagh.Left out words, dangling clauses; ooh well.
Re weather: reports of grapefruit-sized hail! -
tejanarusa commented on the diary post Over Easy by Ruth Calvo.
Also, too, re Texas weather: it seems I was flying over the tornado storms on the way home last evening. No direct flights between El Paso and San Antonio, have to stop in Dallas. Landing in Dallas was pretty bumpy, and although at Love Field (not DFW) we could see the storm approaching, though Love [...]

Late to the party again, but can I chime in on the MacBook Air? At court yesterday in El Paso a lawyer behind had one he was working on while we waited for the judge. Says he has always been a windows user and just got this – loves it. It was so small and [...]

Ruth, your instructions are pretty funny, as well as practical.
Just popping in to say, hi. Got lotsa work to do today, partly because I didn’t do most of it yesterday.
Is lemon meringue pie Mom’s favorite? Sounds lovely. Fun to make, too, especially swirling the meringue. Have a fun Mother’s Day, everyone! -

Morning, firepups. I’m up early – partly ’cause I adjusted to east coast time, partly ’cause I have a ton of work to do.
Elliott-thanks for that little taste of Caturday. It was cute. Sad cat diary is pretty good, too. I thought about it as I held the door open for Big Boy to decide “inside, or outside, or inside” after breakfast.
It’s cool and dampish out; he’s still inside. ;) -

Ha, bg! That’s my fault, I could have crafted that sentence more clearly. Glad you figured it out though.
