…but since slasher flicks aren’t my thing, I don’t think I’ll be attending that tale.

Wow, Sammy Davis was a LOT shorter than I thought. Lemmon was about 5’9” or 5’10“-ish, and he’s got 4 or 5 inches on Sammy. Obviously, his talent was much, much bigger!

One of my favorite burgers evah was a kind of Juicy Lucy, but instead of cheese, it was stuffed with a Reese’s Peanut Butter Cup. This 👇 reminds me of that.

seeing all these clips of Ossoff and the other truth-sayers makes me really wish that Paxton wasn’t a yellow-bellied coward and would agree to debate Talarico, if only for the entertainment value.

If the “free press” were truly free, they’d make her first news conference all about HER. “About your pro-Putin posting…” “About these conspiracy posts…” “Did you actually ever work as an attorney?” Not only would it challenge her, it would drive Donny crazy if he wasn’t the center of attention.

The one piece of good news is that I’ll still be a resident of Texas for the election, and will be INCREDIBLY happy to cast my vote for both Talarico and Hinojosa.

So…. I’ve been retired just over a month now, and my lease here in Texas runs out in just over a month. I’ve been debating where I want to live, since I hate Texas with the power of 1000 suns. So I went out last week to look at townhouses in Vegas, and just got notified that I was approved…

I’m actually going through a little of this right now. Not sure what’s going on at the Vegas airport, but my flight from Houston has been delayed 3 times, and now leaves about 5 hours late, at 1 AM. They’re claiming it’s due to winds, but my weather app disagrees.

Almost every GOP ad here in TX right now is focused on “no boys in girls’ sports!” While all the Dem ads lean heavily on cost-of-living, health care, and ending corruption. Friends and neighbors I’ve spoken to are listening closer to the latter, but you never can tell here.
