Glad you and your family is safe, RGV.
I'm not sure how to respond to news about Sam. I hope the what ifs resolve themselves before a move is made.Ohhhh the stories I could tell about this sister and my siblings. Honestly, I say as little as possible to Sam about them because he’ll run for the hills if he realizes I’m the normal one.
Truth be told, I have a feeling he’s going to be leaving because of work anyway so not sure how much longer I get to have him in my life anyway. I’m not ready to get depressed so I’m not discussing that any further right now.
I"m glad you are okay.
This came from my "Today in Texas History" email yesterday. I had never heard this story before.
I turned the game off after the Rodgers closeup fest and I just don't get it. Why do they feel the need to do that? No other QB gets that camera treatment and I burn out on that easier each game to the point I only watch to seer him get pretzeled. Easily my most hated player and team in the sport. Ugliest fans in the world. Just because they're so fond of sausages doesn't mean their women have to look like them. They should have a "Karl Malden Lookalike Contest" for the women at halftime, I saw 5 or 6 that could win it and do Karl proud.
You could bill yourself as "The Retrospective Meteorologist: The Only One Who's Always Right".Thank you, yeah I missed my calling Jan.
Why no, Lovey, why would you think that?...Jeeves, be a lamb and find out why she thinks that.
It was sold in New York… just guessing… but I wouldn’t admit it to us either.
Yes!!
I live in Luckenbach!!!! Come on by n we'll put some possum on the Barbie!!!!!!!Morning, Pops and pen pals.
The Wright Brothers? PSAAW. A couple of pikers. Texas is #1.
On this day in 1865, pioneer aviator Jacob Friedrich Brodbeck may have made the first flight in an airplane--almost forty years before the Wright brothers--in a field about three miles east of Luckenbach. The Württemberg native settled in Fredericksburg in 1847. He had always had an interest in mechanics and inventing; in Germany he had attempted to build a self-winding clock, and in 1869 he designed an ice-making machine. His most cherished project, however, was his "air-ship," with a propeller powered by coiled springs. The 1865 model featured an enclosed space for the "aeronaut," a water propeller in case of accidental landings on water, a compass, and a barometer. The machine was said to have risen twelve feet in the air and traveled about 100 feet before the springs unwound completely and the machine crashed to the ground. Another account, however, says that the initial flight took place in San Pedro Park, San Antonio, where a bust of Brodbeck was later placed. Yet another account reports that the flight took place in 1868, not 1865. All the accounts agree, however, that Brodbeck's airship was destroyed by its abrupt landing, although the inventor escaped serious injury. After this setback, his investors refused to put up the money for a second attempt, and he embarked on a unsuccessful fund-raising tour of the United States. Brodbeck returned to Texas and lived on a ranch near Luckenbach until his death in 1910.
