Reprise: The Falling Man

In memoriam, September 11, 2001.

So runs my dream, but what am I? An infant crying in the night, An infant crying for the light, And with no language but a cry. –Lord Tennyson

Finally rain

Got a brief thunderstorm late yesterday afternoon with more expected today. First rain in several months. Wonderful watching it pour off a neighboring roof, proof of the old saying that gutters are useless in Texas.

Hope it doesn’t match another old Texas saying that droughts are broken by floods.

UPDATE:  Twelve days later we’re still waiting for rain, with “extreme fire hazard” signs all about.

Pedo Joe ignores reality

Biden basically created ISIS, says former defense secretary and Marine general Jim Mattis.

Biden, not Trump, has the blood of millions on his hands.

Another Texas mass shooting

It’s asking too much, I know it is, but could the cops please not shoot to kill these mass shooters so we can at least find out why they did it. With them dead, it’s a guessing game. White male, mid-30s, tells us nothing.

America is sick of this, say the Dims, and that is certainly true but their solution is to take the guns of the law-abiding. Criminals will always find a gun. As they do every day in Chicago, Mexico, and other garden spots.

I’m tempted to think he was a relocated Californicator, but there’s some sort of mass psychosis at work here. We’ll never know for sure so long as the cops keep killing the killers.

Buyer’s inspection

I hate it when inspectors lie, either because they’re outright cheating or just too dumb to make something work and so declare it broken. And that’s all I have to say about that. No names, no money amounts, just pissed off.
