    Texas wildflowers

    This year has been, so far, the greatest season for wildflowers in the 20 years I have lived here. Great portions of The Hideout are literally carpeted with indian paintbrush, wine cups, anemones, foxgloves, gaillardia (indian blanket), and dozens more species I don't know the names of. It is...

    Old Fart Pride

    I'm passing this on as I did not want to be the only old fart receiving it. Actually, it's not a bad thing to be called, as you will see. Old Farts are easy to spot at sporting events; during the playing of the Star Spangled Banner. Old Farts remove their caps and stand at attention and sing...

    Peafowl on The Hideout!

    I was sitting here gazing out the window and wondering what it will be like when both of my eyes work correctly. . .or at least the same as each other. . .when this large bird strolled across the pasture.

They have been great, particularly for the bath that has no outside window, and have probably saved enough in electricity to pay for them.:) Now I have a prob. . . .no, an annoyance. Those...

    Where did "bad words" come from??

    Most of the words we are not allowed to use in polite conversation can be replaced by other, acceptable, words that mean exactly the same thing when taken at face value (not as part of an angry outburst). If you have ever heard those words referred to as "Anglo Saxon profanity" you have a clue...

    May I brag a bit??

    Salado, TX is an "upscale" enclave and arts colony between Waco and Austin. A really great little town to visit. Daughter #2 lives there. Among other annual events is the great "Death By Chocolate" contest that attracts chefs from all over the Southwest. This year my Grandbuddy, Scott...

    Advertising words.

    I am seeing a lot lately ads that say that some entertainment event is "Live, from whereever". It doesn't take long to realize that the show was recorded some time ago and might even have performers in it that are now dead. Recent examples are "Live" concerts by Elvis and Roy Orbison. Both, of...
