Every now and then I receive an email about a neighbor’s vehicle being broken into. However, nine times out of ten it’s stated the vehicle was left unlocked. I don’t know the legal or technical definition of an automobile break-in, but I tend to think the neighbor is being dramatic when they state they can’t believe such a thing can happen in a peaceful neighborhood. I’m surprised people don’t lock their vehicles anytime they step out of it. I’m reminded of the time a neighbor, about eight years ago, decided to move out of the neighborhood because someone stole a handgun out of her garage in the middle of the afternoon and she no longer felt the area was safe. I was amazed she didn’t store the gun in a safe and secure place and simply left the garage open all day with it exposed. Heck, I feel safer she’s gone.
I saw a local news report about how the Texas Baptist Men are mobilizing to the Southeast to help aid in any post hurricane efforts. I have some friends who help in similar ministries in different denominations and they always are jealous of the coverage the Texas Baptist Men receive over their support. I’ve never researched it, and I’m not complaining about people helping people, but I’m sure the Texas Baptist Men does a really good job of marketing themselves or reaching out to the local media.
It wasn’t until yesterday I realized that the actor who plays Howard Hamlin in ‘Better Call Saul’ is the same man who plays Professor Laskey in ‘Saved By The Bell: The College Years’.
Beto O’Rourke was on ‘Ellen’ last week and tonight he’ll be on ‘The Late Show with Stephen Colbert’. Back in June, Senator Ted Cruz played basketball against Jimmy Kimmel. The only way I think Ted Cruz loses this election is if Obama campaigns for him.
I just can’t dogear a book, I feel like I’m disrespecting it. Magazines, on the other hand, they are free game.
I only have bits and pieces of the story, but WifeGeeding’s father wrote Queen Elizabeth a letter. It may have included or referenced an article he found in an old magazine which referenced her wedding and tugged on his heart. A Lady-in-Waiting was kind enough to reply.
Here’s the story behind that photo. The photographer didn’t release it for a while because she was afraid it would offend people who may have misinterpreted it. I related to it because I had a manager at the time who “encouraged” us to keep working and meet our deadlines. It made me think of what places continued to operate in NYC when all that was going on.
When the Secretary of State travels to another country, does he or she always have armed security around? I read that Mike Pompeo has visited North Korea four times, but wondered how having armed security around him in another country, especially one like North Korea, works out.
Jason Witten used to have a weekly radio show with BaD Radio on THE TICKET and he was dryer than WifeGeeding’s baked chicken. Witten has been replaced by Sean Lee, who I expected to also be really vanilla, but he was relaxed and jovial than I expected.
Chris Suellentrop of Politico read all 20 of Bob Woodward’s books in a month’s time and ranked them.
As horrible as 9/11/2001 was, at least it united us as a country and are now more united than we ever were before.
I never heard of the term “navel gazing” until last night’s ‘Better Call Saul’. I loved how last night’s show ended, btw.
DogGeedingII (not the new pup, OtherDogGeedingII) found a bunny nest in our backyard. We didn’t disturb the bunnies, but we think there are three of them. All of them are about half the size of a Twinkie. We may or may not have left a little bit of BunnyGeeding’s food nearby.
We’ve owned the new puppy for eight days and still don’t have a name for it. If it was up to me, I would name it after something I do a lot, like “Blog” or “Typo”.
The Los Angeles Chargers played a home again against the Kansas City Chiefs. The Chargers have no red in their team colors, look at all the red in the stadium seats.
Random tweet from Texas A&M Police. I know it doesn’t have the blue Twitter verified checkmark, but my limited research tells me this is legit.
Someone is impersonating Jay Novacek. I remember years ago KDFW fell for a bus driver in Houston who claimed to be retired Cowboy Golden Richards. I remember watching KDFW sports coverage on Sunday nights with my father before bedtime and they did a segment with the bus driver, then the next week they did a follow-up segment stating they were duped.
There’s so much going on with this Tarleton State University cheerleader.
OtherDogGeedingII isn’t sure what to think of BunnyGeeding. One thing for sure, he doesn’t like thunder. We found that out during the big storm that passed over GeedingManor.
I think I want to name the new pup ‘Lodestar’. Maybe I’ll name it ‘Matt Damon’. I’m not a big fan of the guys, but it would be funny to refer to him as ‘Matt Damon’, always using his first and last name. I think the ‘South Park’ guys did something in which their fictional Matt Damon character was only capable of saying “Matt Damon” and nothing else.
Philadelphia Eagles head coach Doug Pederson said Jerry Jones wrote him a nice letter congratulating him on his Super Bowl win. The cynic in me wonders if it was hand-written or if his secretary wrote it and he simply signed in. When I interned for an Air Force colonel in college I typed up a bunch of congratulatory letters he simply overlooked and signed.
I think Barron Trump is now taller than his father, and he’s only twelve-years-old. It’s my understanding President Trump is slightly over six feet tall.
What’s up with Cowboys offensive players who attended Baylor getting arrested by Frisco police as of late? First, there was Terrance Williams with public intoxication and then there was Rico Gathers smoking pot in public. With Dez and Witten gone the team can’t afford to lose those guys. I don’t care if they want to get drunk or high, just be smart and safe about it – have a designated driver or call a ride service and only use cannabis at home.
The ‘CBS Evening News’ had a nice story about Arthur Ashe’s brother, Johnnie Ashe. Knowing the military tries to avoid deploying siblings to a war zone at the same time, Johnnie decided to protect his brother from participating in combat in Vietnam by extending his tour in Vietnam and never told his brother about it. Arthur was serving as an officer at West Point (not as a student) at the time and went on to become a tennis great.
I had nothing against Burt Reynolds, but I don’t think I ever saw more than two or three of his movies and I can’t even recall what those are.
I mentioned last week how I have this new lawn mowing routine in which I’ll only mow no more than five minutes at a time throughout the day and only in shaded areas. Recently, I was utilizing this new routine and left the mower out front. One time in the afternoon I walked outside to resume mowing but I found a lawn mowing crew from one of the more established lawn mowing companies in front of my house. They looked at me puzzled and the leader of the crew asked why I was mowing the yard when they were scheduled to mow. I chuckled and told them I’ve lived here for over a decade and have always mowed my lawn and asked what address he was told to mow. He confirmed the address was the same as mine. I’m glad I mowed when I did or they would have wasted time, effort, and resources on a lawn they didn’t need to mow.
