Re: Texas Wildfires
19 new fires in Harrison and Rusk counties (south of us) have scorched 1,099 acres. Jesus, Mary and Joseph. Enough already. Our guys are exhausted ... they have nothing left ... a relative of a co-worker was called out THREE TIMES during a family reunion. She said he looked like a skeleton. (((((Fir...

One of my childhood friends lost her house in Bastrop. Friends and relatives of one of my co-workers near Linden are being evaucated.
Please pray for the people in harm's way and for the brave men and women working around the clock to contain the fury.

Re: The demise of the Tailgate..Is NOW the time to prepare?
The past few years, I have been absolutely humiliated and embarrassed by the amount of trash, broken glass, etc. left behind at Jiffy Lube. I have no doubt THAT played a part in JLL's decision as well. I hear you, SP. One of the things we've been so careful about through the years at the FFFs is to...

Re: Texas Wildfires
You cannot imagine what a tinderbox we have here. Northeast Texas looks like something out of a sci-fi horror movie. Decades old magnolia trees are dead/dying ... and they won't come back. Oak trees are gone and the pines are looking so ragged. We're keeping our trees alive by watering every night, ...

Re: What are YOU reading?
Nancy: I really do recommend reading them in order of publication ... the characters grow ... they're very basic mysteries noir ... short, very little violence ... a couple of plot lines ... most loose ends tied up. It was nice to read them (14, anyway) at one time. Hope you find 'em ... and then I ...

Re: What are YOU reading?
Really, really liked THE PARIS WIFE ... charming. I'm sure ya'll have heard of THE NAMELESS DETECTIVE series by Bill Pronzini, but his new book (35th in the series) was my first experience. I had read and liked his BLUE LONESOME, but somehow missed the series. Went to the library this evening and p...

Re: What's Everyone Listening To?
Got the new Rich O'Toole and Brandon Rhyder CDs ... they're performing at the Fall Festival ... O'Toole wrote most of the cuts on his CD. Rhyder's is a quad-pack from his Live at Billy Bob's performance back in February. Good stuff. Also got the new REK ... Ready for Confetti. It feels phoned it. An...

Re: JIMMY BUFFETT AND BILL CLINTON SHOW UP AT ILO SHOW!!!
It's funny, I really wasn't planning on going, even after Jimmy mentioned it at the Jones Beach show back on the 19th and said "you never know who might show up." I didn't buy my ticket until last Thursday. It was a long night, 90 mile drive each way, but it was worth it. And with all the...

Re: What are YOU reading?
Three Nameless Detective stories down ... 32 to go. Our library has about 1/2 of them. Quick read. Good mystery or two in each book. I like Nameless a lot. He's one of the good guys. Next up, THE SMARTEST WOMAN I KNOW by Ilene Beckerman and then MAMAN'S HOMESICK PIE: A Persian Heart in an American K...
