TexTech Free

First off, my screen name. I am a Texan working in a technical field. I did NOT attend Texas Tech. I went to a real university in Texas. Born and grew up in Houston, then spent about 24 years in Austin, back to Houston, and then in Indiana, first time to live outside of Texas. Back to Austin ten years and now 26 months (as of late August, 2021) in Miami, FL. Work keeps me moving around. I am now on my way to North Carolina. While only living in three states, I have passed through or visited 35-40 of the lower 48 states. I have missed the Big Sky country (Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana) and upper New England states. As should be obvious from my comments, I am a yellow dog Democrat with views on social justice based on the teachings of all the great religious teachers. I love music of most types. Not opera. I can tolerate some C&W. Have heard very little rap I can tolerate. My music is traditional Blues and 60s-70s rock. Also like classical and easy listening.

    Just be thankful cats don’t have opposable thumbs. We would be in even more trouble if they did. Then they could open regular doors as well plus opening jars and getting into all kinds of other trouble.

    Unlike some who take the words of some people at absolute face value without any effort to find out if it is true, at least I am willing to see if a “fact” is actually backed up by the facts. And it certainly looks like it is in this case.

    I think it is for a reason Trump himself has brought up. He loves the uneducated. And I fear that can explain a lot.

    I’m not doubting it but where is the evidence of Trump’s SAT being done by someone else? I have heard it but never looked it up or seen any kind of story about it. I’d believe it in a heartbeat but I like to have the facts to back it up.

    But to this day he has yet to win at least 50% of the popular vote. Three times, more than half the voting public did not want him to be president. That is hardly a ringing endorsement of his views when you can’t even con 50% of Americans into voting for you.

    Five I think is the correct number unless he picked up a new one while I wasn’t looking.

    Wow! She really can’t let it go can she.

    So do mine but I only have one. And I’m not in Tennessee but at least adjacent.

    I’m sure Huey’s list is much longer based on the number of movie people he has dissed in the past.

    I enjoy Murray. It’s fun to see how low and absurd he can go.
