No hurricanes here, but tornados and floods. Floods tend to bring out the predators, vermin and other animals you won't want on your property or in your house. I've stocked up on a variety of ammo (including snake-shot & buckshot) for all our firearms.

Also, I've scanned all important documents from my files. Also documented all property with digital camera and video. One USB thumb drive holds: insurance, personal property, medical records, prescriptions, banking information, birth certificates, social security cards, diplomas and the family photos.

In case of flood or fire, it's also good to send a copy (on DVD, memory cards or thumb drive) to an offsite family member or trusted friend.

Someone remind me again about the "equal value of diverse cultures".

I used to say (by way of expressing my frustration with the Afghans) that we should pull out our troops and nuke the site from orbit. I'm revising that now. We should pull out the troops AND the innocent four-legged animals... then nuke the site.

I had the privilege of getting to know Mrs. Fogelson (aka Greer Garson) during the last years of her life. By the time I met her, she was a lovely (and somewhat mischievous) elderly lady. She would often invite repairmen and other workers to have a soda, tea or coffee and visit with her. She made them feel as if their lives and thoughts were truly of interest to her and she would remember their names weeks later if they were called again. She was a gracious and caring example of true class.

Well, I moved from Texas to Tennessee three years ago. You can have all the other burgers. I miss my Whataburger!

According to my dictionary, "odyssey" is "a long wandering or voyage usually marked by many changes of fortune".

Looking at the congresswoman's husband I can't help wondering how he feels about this inappropriate memorial pep rally. If it were my loved one, I would prefer to be back at the hospital watching over them.

When did the dignity of a memorial service become a whooping, hollering hootenanny? Just unspeakably tacky.

NORAD announced Santa's progress on the radio when I was a very young child. My daughter saw NORAD track his progress on TV when she was young. My grandchildren, and now my great-granddaughter, see Santa's travel via their internet connection.

NORAD has helped keep the Santa magic in our family's Christmas for four generations.

I have to agree. Love the article. It's dead on, but the "redneck/soul food" comment shows a lack of understanding of rednecks... and soul food... and Southern culture in general.

But us Southerners won't hold it against Mr. Nolte. We know it's just because he's forced to spend too much time surrounded by Hollywood liberals. ;)

He screwed up the history too. Mexico was the Spanish colony of "New Spain" until 1810 when it gained it's independence. "Mexicans" could not have been here "long before America was even an idea" given that our Constitution was adopted in 1787.

He screwed up the history too. Mexico was the Spanish colony of "New Spain" until 1810 when it gained it's independence. So "Mexicans" could not have been here "long before America was even an idea" given that our Constitution was adopted in 1787.
