I know…two consecutive days with posts that consist of actual words. Don’t get used to it. I started this one to test some new software – MarsEdit, if you must know – and needed to post something other than images to get a good feel for how it works. (I ended up not being too… Continue reading Random Thursday
Random Thursday – The Wednesday Edition
Lotsa fascinating stuff around the web lately, to wit: For anyone who loves to read, bookshelves are a necessary evil, at least for those who haven’t yet drunk the Kindle Kool-Aid. For one thing, they take up space that might otherwise be productively employed to showcase big screen TVs. However, with a little imagination (and… Continue reading Random Thursday – The Wednesday Edition
New Gallery Images
I’ve added a handful of images to the Gallery, including the one shown below.
Putting the Obama Dress into Perspective
I’m not sure why everyone is making such a fuss over the dress worn by that soap opera actress – Victoria Rowell – at the Emmy Awards ceremony last night, the gown adorned with an Obama-head pattern. Sure, it’s ugly, but it’s not like this is the first time that a dress has been ruined… Continue reading Putting the Obama Dress into Perspective
Aggies Infiltrate Austin
It was possible that in the hubbub surrounding some football game that took place Saturday night in Austin (*yawn*), a more momentous occasion was overlooked. We at the Gazette want to do our part to ensure it’s recorded for posterity. This photo was graciously sent to me by Gazette reader Lisa, a Georgetown resident whose… Continue reading Aggies Infiltrate Austin
Sunday Morning Hawk
I was sitting on our front porch after breakfast, accompanied by a Bible and a cup of coffee – both being essential to Sunday morning (or any morning, for that matter) – enjoying the beautiful weather. The street light at the corner of our yard was decorated with five or six Mexican doves basking in… Continue reading Sunday Morning Hawk
The Mist
As we headed out to breakfast this morning, we noticed a bit of fog and mist in some of the low-lying areas and around the golf course across the pasture, but it wasn’t until we turned onto “A” Street that we saw this striking bit of meteorological phenomena: This line of mist or fog stretched… Continue reading The Mist
“A modern spiritual”
Was Lawrence Welk really this clueless? (H/T Charles at Dustbury.com) I initially thought this was a very well done spoof, but I’m now pretty sure it’s legit. Here’s a tip: just because a song mentions Jesus and Mary – even as proper nouns instead of exclamations – doesn’t make it a “spiritual.” Confession: I still… Continue reading “A modern spiritual”
Random Thursday
Some random thoughts (hey, it’s what we do) while contemplating what I’d do with an electric car that generates more torque than an M1 Abrams tank (well, other than pulling my house – slab and all – to the vacant lot across the street that has a better view of the pond). I got another… Continue reading Random Thursday
Plucking Pomegranates
We picked our first two pomegranates this evening. The softball-sized fruit looked so red and shiny, we just couldn’t resist finding out whether they were really ripe – or just looked that way. Debbie halved one of them and the fleshy seeds certainly looked ripe. As it turns out, we might have been a week… Continue reading Plucking Pomegranates
