Supposed to be another fantastic day today. Yesterday cleared up and warmed up, turning into another picture perfect weather day. Forecast for today is the same.
I did some auction things in the morning, and then did my pickups in the afternoon. I took surface streets because the Loop was backed up, but got caught in a 20 minute delay anyway as the Trail Riders crossed my path. Some of the riders are riding more than 100 miles, some more than 200. It’s always fun to see them on horseback and riding in wagons. There are people along the routes to cheer them on, and the riders wave and have a good time with the kids and adults that come out.
Since the Trail Riders have arrived, that means the Houston Livestock Show and Rodeo is underway. Great weather for it this year. It’s a big deal and I’ve written about it a couple of times before. Fun for the whole family.
Today I’ve got one kid duty and the lists to fill my day. Oh what will I do to fill my time? Uh, dood, I’m sure I’ll find something.
Lots of work to be done. But also lots of fun to be had. These are the Good ol days. Make sure you live them.
Get busy stacking!

Good morning all!
Sad but true. The problem, of course, is that war destroys instead of creates. If we could only put all that effort into bettering civilization. Unfortunately, peace and wealth created the Lefties and the Woke, whose good intentions have paved the road we are currently on.
I have a directory of work-related stuff labelled “old”. Inside that directory is another named “very old”. I had a look at the way I used to teach back in the 1990s and…cringe. I have actually improved over the past few decades.
Delete it all? Somehow old things are sentimental even if they are totally useless.
Saturday. Good morning!
Things to do at the BOL today, but not much élan for doing them. The last weeks of silly workload have me feeling more like lying on the couch and listening to music.
I have some new-to-me CDs that I want to hear on the good speakers. One of them is The Many Faces of God. Michael Buchanan seems, unfortunately, to have dropped off the face of the earth.
I suppose if I start by getting up and doing something, I might get into the swing of it… perhaps I will bribe myself with a trip to the bakery and a croissant. At least it will get me up and moving.
USA and Israel have attacked Iran.
The beginning of the end for the Mullahs?
I wonder what the plan is. You cannot bomb a country into regime change. Are they coordinating with people inside the country? Who? How?
How often has a US attack resulted an improved government in the Middle East. Iraq? Libya? Afghanistan? The record is not exactly promising…
Hideki Tojo might have something to say about that.
