What fun!!! As he grows his parents get to buy new equipment!!! My oldest grandson just HAD to have a sliding glove for baseball because all the other kids had them. Heck, it's just a glorified oven mitt. 65 bucks. I don't understand why you need a sliding glove when you go feet first.

Perhaps they have a valid reason, such as West Texans do. We don't want more people - not because we're unfriendly or clannish (OK, we might be a little clannish) but because we do not have the one resource that is crucial for all life - water.
No good spots for reservoirs? East of you we've got them all over.

When the Burma Shave signs were on the other side of the road, my older brother and I would remember alternate signs and the work out the correct rhyme! Luckily speed limits were lower in those days.
Thanks for bringing those memories....

You're right. I remember when going 55 was fast on the highways.

I generally don't enjoy reading fiction that much. Especially negative, gloomy, depressing fiction. That kind of fiction does not suit my personality. I'm usually as person who seeks the upside of things.
I saw a great bumper sticker a while ago that used the symbols of all the major religions of the world to spell out the word "fiction"

Then again, you don't know a lot about it, do you. You just dismiss it outright.

We liked the movie but saw it after reading the book. We both were weeping after reading it. Frankly, the book was better (IMHO). But my wife and I like to read real paper page books.

Same thing with Gorky Park. There was just so much more detail in the book.

For over forty years we lived near a lake in Dallas that is 10 miles in circumference. Throughout the year it is home to many migrating species of birds, but never eagles. Don't you know it, once we moved a pair of eagles arrived. The first year they built a nest in a tenuous cottonwood tree and the limb it was on was blown down during a high wind. This year they've finally got the art of nest building down and are the parents of two chicks. The long lenses of local photographers have gotten some excellent photos. They can be seen in the fb group White Rock Lake! that's my hood

Neither Russia nor the United States existed when Revelation was written.
And yet it talks about the Bear. That is typically interpreted as being Russia. It doesn't mention the Eagle. Remember, Revelation is prophecy.

I think I must really be old. I didn't know what GAS was, so I looked it up. Apparently it is Gear Acquisition Syndrome.
I think Rosanne Rosanna Danna defined GAS the best: "if it's not one thing it's another.""

A two state solution was offered in '48. Sometimes people don't take something that in the end turns out to be a good idea. What if Kissinger, during negotiations with the North Vietnamese had come to the table one day and said, "we accept your proposal to divide the country at this point."

You can buy a book of Burma Shave Sign Sayings on Amazon

Why buy a book? In a previous post I listed a website that has the various "sayings" listed as they came out by year. You don't need to find my post, just Google Burma Shave signs and you can find it for yourself.

One thing to take into consideration is Israel's history. When attacked in the past it has responded decisively until its foe was vanquished. Others have learned that lesson, you'd think Hamas would have known it. So, put the blame for all of this on Hamas for one for not knowing their history.

No G A S here. Years ago, I purchased some basic fishing gear, then fished rivers, lakes, from shore, from boats, summer, winter, fishing Charter trips, and the ONLY fish I caught was at a Trout pond! Fish laugh at me! I got tired of all the laughing and gave all the equipment away! Never again!
If my son had wanted to go I would have been interested in chartering a boat to go out into the Gulf to go after some good fish like Redfish. If you go in with a couple of other people, the price of a charter can be reasonable, but he wasn't interested.
