Blue Bell licker faces prison

Posted on July 6, 2019 | 2 comments

“No doubt, you’ve seen the viral video of the young woman in Texas who put the container back in the Walmart freezer after licking the ice cream. Turns out the police have seen it too. And the police being the police, they’ve uncovered the identity of the woman and are planning on arresting her on second-degree felony charges of food tampering, according to CBS News. The charges carry a sentence of two to twenty years behind bars.”

Now if Blue Bell will just please secure their lids. If they hope to keep selling.

Nationalism

Posted on July 5, 2019 | Comments Off on Nationalism

“Voters like the idea that the people who govern them are loyal to them. Nationalism is unpopular with elites because it involves such loyalty, and loyalty to one’s own people limits one’s options in ways that our governing class finds unacceptable. I don’t think supporting the governing class here is either principled or libertarian.” —law professor Glenn Reynolds, the Instapundit.

Fireworks!

Posted on July 5, 2019 | Comments Off on Fireworks!

Usually we’re treated to a few illegal firecrackers and bottle rockets in the neighborhood on the evening of July 4. Not this year. Someone a few streets over from the rancho threw up a Roman candle or three with dazzling exploding gold stars. They were over in a few seconds but still worth it. It was Independence Day, after all. What better way to celebrate than by breaking an onerous law.

Exhausting respite

Posted on July 4, 2019 | Comments Off on Exhausting respite

Had thought to take off this July 4th Independence Day but find I can’t stop clearing out the books (and more books) and other “excessive personal possessions,” as our paid pre-inspector genteelly termed it.

Only got 2 and a half weeks until the painters commence on the rancho, inside and out. And then probably showing the place for sale. By which time we should have closed on the condo, which is way too small for excessive anything. And moved Mr. Boy’s desired artifacts to a storage unit.

So it’s continue continue today. We’ll probably sit out after dark to see/hear the illegal fireworks in the neighborhood. If the mosquitoes ain’t too bad, after all the rain we’ve been having in this very wet year.

UPDATE:  The illegal fireworks were cool this year

Celebrate our Energy Independence

Posted on July 4, 2019 | Comments Off on Celebrate our Energy Independence

Texas leads the way, sez young Aggie engineer:

“The United States – not Saudi Arabia or Russia – is now the world’s largest crude oil producer. This was unthinkable a few years ago, when politicians bemoaned our dependence on foreign oil, without ever offering any solutions.

“In the new energy economy Texas leads the way and is almost certain to exceed 5 million barrels per day, or about 40% of the total American output.

“As if to underscore just how huge a player Texas now is, a company here recently inked a deal to export natural gas – to Saudi Arabia.”
