Do they still have the sign at the city limits that says, "This is God's country, don't drive through it like Hell?"

[Murph]

Yes, Yes they do!

Oh no. Don't go so fast. We had Cynthia McKinney for a time. That sounds like something she'd say. 

And of course there's the hosts of the View who think that Global Warming is cause of things like Solar Eclipses.

That is so true.  Number of deer you can store.  

 

My brother lives in Marble Falls, Texas and he just had every window on his truck, his wife's car and his daughters car shattered by hail between golfball and grapefruit size yesterday.  Just Brutal.  He has not a clue as to the damage to his roof.

I'm chained to the desk. My accountant knows to file extensions early, I'm not a deadline kind of person, plus other reasons.

 

I've decided that when I finish, I will reward myself with this game:

Did you ask your wife the translation of Matagorda to Spanish?

If you did not, and would not, it could be translated as "Kill the fat (female) one"

[Murph]

Oh lord, no!  She would not find that funny.  I tried: Quitate Toda la ropa and she was not pleased.

Better not try, then.

Nope

That took long enough.

Gov. Abbott is a weird duck. Most of the time he is semi-inert, with periodic flashes of testosterone.

 

[Murph]

Too long.  He waits for the wind to blow properly.

Isn't there a process that has to be followed?

Looks to me that the combination of open carry and stand your ground means that if two people, both armed, get into any dispute the one that wins is the one that kills first, always being able to claim that the other was a threat due to the open gun they were carrying as the dispute got more heated.   Is that a stable system, or one that rewards shooting first and claiming to be threatened later?

[Murph]

More or less, somewhat discretionary in that the Governor can pardon anyone, but the most common method is to accept the Pardons and Parole board suggestions.

Yes, but any killing has to be investigated.  The DA in Austin hid evidence from the Grand Jury and Jury that would have made all the difference in the world.  He is a VERY VERY left wing DA.
