I had to take a trip to Lew Sterrett Court House building, this past week.

Finding parking just across the street, in a semi fenced area, during the day, You would think, that one would be fairly safe?

Well driving into the lot, after paying the fee, as my daughter and I,were driving to a space, a man, dressed in tatty dirty clothes, with zipper down walked up to the car, asking could he talk to us. We said NO !  He moved on to another car, entering the lot.

Walking to the ticket booth, I advised the person there of the man in the lot, accosting people. He looked and kept taking monney, doing nothing. Walking across the street and up the ramp being used during construction, we were again accosted by homeless people with their hands out, asking for money.

The same man was in the lot on the way out, the same people asking for money at the ramp.

Why is this allowed to happen, in a place where there should be some type, of what one would consider proctection.

And the city is worried about what to name the street this courthouse/jail sits on.

 

         
          When I got home last night, my wife demanded that I take
         her someplace expensive.....so, I took her to a gas
        station..... and that's how the fight started....
         
           I tried to talk my wife into buying a case of Miller
         Light for  $14.95. Instead, she bought a jar of cold cream for
         $7.95. I told her the beer would make her look better at night than
         the cold cream....... And that's how the fight started.
        
            After retiring, I went to the Social Security office to
         apply for Social Security. The woman behind the counter asked me
         for my driver's license to verify my age. I looked in my
         pockets and realized I had left my wallet at home. I told the woman
         that I was very sorry, but I would have to go home and come back
         later.  The woman said, 'Unbutton your shirt'.    So I
         opened my shirt revealing my curly silver hair. She said,
        'That  silver hair on your chest is proof enough for me' and she processed  my   Social Security
        application.  When I got home, I excitedly told my wife about my experience at the
        Social Security office.  She said, 'You should have dropped your pants. You
        might have gotten disability, too'......  And that's how the fight
        started.....
        
           My wife and I were sitting at a table at my high school
         reunion, and I kept staring at a drunken lady swigging her drink as
         she sat alone at a nearby table.  My wife asked, 'Do you know
         her?'  'Yes,' I sighed, 'She's my old girlfriend. I understand
         she took to drinking right after we split u p those many years
        ago, and I hear she hasn't been sober since.'    'My God!' says my wife, 'Who
        would think a person could go on celebrating that long?'...... And that's
        how the fight started.....
         
           I rear-ended a car this morning. So, there we were
         alongside the road and slowly the other driver got out of his
        car.  You know how sometimes you just get soooo stressed and little things
         just seem funny? Yeah, well I couldn't believe it.... he was a
         DWARF!!!  He stormed over to my car, looked up at me, and
        shouted, 'I AM NOT HAPPY!!!'  So, I  looked down at him and said, 'Well,
        then which one are you?'.......    And that's how the fight started.....
        
           I took my wife to a restaurant. The waiter, for some
         reason, took my order first.  'I'll have the strip steak,
         medium rare, please.'  He said,   'Aren't you worried about
        the mad cow?' 'Nah, she can order for  herself.'...... And that's how
        the fight started.....
         

The woman that had an appendage sewn on and took testostorone to call herself a man, is prego again, and the news is all over the story like it was something exciting.

This woman kept her uterus etc so she could still have kids. So what is the big deal ?

Women have babies all the time, and this is no different, except she has a weenie sewn on.

This person is still a woman, Please news people get over it!

Just a tidbit, found on the RR News section

 

Barack Obama's aunt, a Kenyan woman who has been quietly living in public housing in Boston, is in the United States illegally after an immigration judge rejected her request for asylum four years ago, The Associated Press has learned.

The disclosure about Onyango came just one day after Obama's presidential campaign confirmed to the Times of London that Onyango, who has lived quietly in public housing in South Boston for five years, was Obama's half aunt on his father's side.

It was not immediately clear how Onyango might have qualified for public housing with a standing deportation order.

 

I was having a disagreement with a fellow employee at work this morning.

His son is a cyclist, one of those that seems to invade the roads, on warm weather days.

I am all for cycling, up to a point.

It seems, that they think it is ok to take over a road, used for motorized vehicles, and not have to obey the same laws that motorized vehicles do, that they have the same rights as cars on the roads.

If so then should they not have to have a license, for bicycles?

I made an example of the smaller 2 lane roads, that 5or 6 cyclists, or more, will take up one lne in either direction, and that when cars, build up behind them, they don't move over, to let the motorists pass.

Now if the speed limit on most of these smaller roads is 35,at the least, why should they not have to move over, and or stop and let motorized traffic through?

If cyclists are to use normal roads, Ifeel they should have lanes for bicycles.

 

 I woke up and saw all that mess in the middle

poor little baby Romo..

Cowboy UP!

I am around schools everyday of the week, and have noticed youngboys with tatoos, on their arms and necks.

I am presuming parents are allowing these kids to get these tatoos, because, you have to have parent's consent to get a tot if you are underage.

What I am wondering is why a parent would let an underage child get a tatoo, and are the rules at schools allowing these?

First there was the controversy over  the Black Hole commen, and now the use of the word "dark"

Vague allegations of racism in and around Dallas City Hall have turned into very pointed personal attacks questioning the racial intent of individuals.

The controversy swirls around one four-letter word used by a planning commissioner during the debate over whether to rename Ross Avenue for Cesar Chavez.

Last week, city planning commissioner Neil Emmons said, "I, speaking only for myself, believe there are dark racist forces in this building."

On Wednesday, a Dallas resident who addressed the council said something similar: "I am here to ask this city council to help us dissipate this dark cloud of racism."

The use of the word "dark" twice in one week was too much for Deputy Mayor Pro Tem Dwaine Caraway.

I was just looking at some of the balloons  from the Plano  balloon fest, and remembering the beautiful mornings, when Mesquite had a balloon fest. The early mornings, listening to the ballons heat  up and fill with hot air. The colors that filled the air like a rainbow  explosion. How sad we don't have that anymore.

We also don't have the fireworks show anymore.

Now we have a bike ride, and  the Real Texas festival. People come  from all over to see those, or do they?

I have heard rumors that the rodeo will go by the wayside as well, but that seemed to go downhill as soon as they enclosed it, and the real cowboys went elsewhere.

Sad all these things have been let go.

 

Former Blink-182 drummer Travis Barker and a popular disc jockey were critically injured in a Learjet crash in South Carolina that killed four people, authorities said Saturday.

Federal Aviation Administration spokeswoman Kathleen Bergen said the plane carrying six people was departing shortly before midnight Friday when air traffic controllers reporting seeing sparks. The plane went off a runway and crashed on a nearby road, she said.

Hospital spokeswoman Beth Frits said Barker and DJ AM, whose real name is Adam Goldstein, were in critical condition at a burn center in Augusta, Ga., about 75 miles southwest of Columbia.

I was talking to a woman at work today, about the canidates.

She said that Sarah Paulin should not be elected, as she had children, and if her baby got sick, she would go into "Mommy Mode" and not be able to run the country.

I had to bite my tongue, and then reminded her that Sarah was Govenor of Alaska, and had kids, and that baby while in office.

I also reminded her that Hillary had a daughter and was voted into office.

I am still reeling over the thought of "Mommy Mode"

I was raised Catholic, and never in my many years did I ever use a rosary for a necklace.

They are prayer beads, used for prayer and meditation. They are not necklaces.

Those worn as necklaces, are gang symbols, and if parents don't know they have their heads in the sand.  How many of these kids wearing rosarys, as neckaces, are Catholic?

I am not sure, when this became the in gang symbol, or part of the package, but kids started coming in my store wearing them, I would ask them if they knew what the rosary was, were they Catholic? Most would say no to each question, so I asked them to please respect my faith, and place them inside their shirts, when in my store. Tehy did that, and as long as they respected me, I respected them.

Again on the news, evacuees from the hurricane, staying at hotels. This time in Las Colinas. I can barely afford to drive through Las Colinas!

Are these hotels set up for evacuees? Are they told to go to these hotels and spend their money ?  Does FEMA tell them to go there and they will be paid back?

Do they stay in them until all their money is gone(so they say) and then surprise the hotel management, saying the Fema will  pay for them?

I would love to so understand, when FREE transport, and FREE shelters are set up, why do people still want to get over?

Why is this allowed?

Where are all the gas refineries? I know they are not all in Tx.

Valero has at least 12.  One, in McKee Tx, and another in Ardmore, OK., among others.

What about all they other companies?
