    Just a little life experience talking. Don't forget to close your screen doors at dusk.

    I forgot once. 3 young racoons decided the cat food (in the house) looked tasty. I made as much noise as possible coming down the stairs to scare them off, two went out the front door at high speed, the third (for reasons only known to him) made a right into the bathroom. I spent an hour and a half poking at him with a broom handle from the shower stall, handle behind the toilet to reach him in the corner, until he finally exited.

    I thought it was Wally Martinez. That’s what we call Walmart in California.

    So what's this scuttlebutt about Texas { I'm guessin' Houston
    and Dallas } being overcome with Corn Virus cases.
    I think I have an explanation.But why did the Governor go into
    automatic panic mode.NoT Goot !.
    That is what happens in a horror Movie.
    Just sit on the porch in a rockin' chair with maybe some snacks
    and wait till the sun sets.Unless a Duster heads yer way.
    Or Maybe a Young buck like James Dean in - Giant -.
    Man that dude is so Cool all the time.
    Reminds me of meself.

    Noticed people here are taking it a little more seriously... ran over a "duster" (dust devil? Remolina?) leaving the ranchito after lunch.. AND "Giant" was shot in the north part of this county, they have a festival based on it.

    I dunno what's going on with this mess in Texas. I'm sure it has nothing to do with the thousands bussed in to protest pancake mix or whatever.

    Had something similar happen to me..only this was someone's pet raccoon. He scared the kids and attacked my dog before I could get him out of the house. I don't have warm fuzzy feelings about raccoons..they can be mean.

    The Fascinating thing about - Giant - was the way scruffy lone rancher
    James Dean { Jett Rink } acted.He was pretty set in his ways.Determined
    and focused on a goal.Then why he achieved his goal he got cocky.
    Virtually Too Big for his britches.
    Fascinating character study.Just like his other 2 movies.
    He only made 3 Films.Each one was a standout performance.

    My bluegill are still eating my food. If I lose one I just throw it into the filter pond. The Crawdads eat them up. We got four baby brim and brought then home. We also got a blue cat about 1 and 1/2 pounds. Just let them go in the pond. My big pond is pretty close to full allowing for growth. I don't have a strict inventory but probably 25 potential pounds of bluegill and 4 catfish. One flathead and one bullhead. 20200606_171106.jpg Now this pool is devoid of fish. Been thinking bout putting pea gravel on the bottom for bluegill beds. Then get my biggest fish and put them in. After bedding take all the big fish out and use this tank for fry. Then grade them out for growth.

    Right now, it's sitting in the rhododendron bed. I don't know what I'll do with it. I'm more interested in getting the candytuft Iberia settled in. I keep moving it three inches this way and four inches that way.

    The company advertises them as being a byproduct of making noodles. It seems that the noodle machines create a lot of ramen dust that is normally disposed of. Apparently, they sweep up the dust and use it to make these chips.

    If only they made kimchi flavored ramen chips. It would then be the best of all possible worlds (reference included for our resident Foolardi).

    TGIF! Well, it looks like the Sahara Dust Cloud has arrived in Texas. Kinda hazy outside. Forecast today... mostly COVID with possible mud showers in the afternoon.
