Father's Day

This year's Father's Day was good because both my sons are OK. One's fixing to ship to South Korea, as opposed to somewhere else, and the other's passed his tests and's working at a friend's construction company. Good boys. Well done.

To celebrate the awesomeness of this, I grilled up some chicken and sausage. Surf 'n Turf without the surf, sort of thing (No, nothing like surf 'n turf... Ed.) And yes, a sharp Kukri's always helpful. Thanks, LL.

And there it is. Pull down a statue of a Founding Patriarchal Oppressor Father or fall on your scoff, like a warrior.

Country Life in Texas

Country life in Texas. What's it like, so called LSP? Well I'll tell you, it's much like any other sort of life except that people are mostly friendly, you don't have to sit in traffic on some kind of hideous commute, and it's searing hot, like a preheating oven. That's Texas for you.

But what's it really like? Foreigners, Germans, say, bless 'em, think of rural Texas as some kind of Wild West cowboy free for all, which is understandable because of the yeehaw PR. But the reality? I'd describe it as hard. 

A Typical Texas Porch Scene -- Get a Haircut, Fool

And no wonder. The climate's a fierce 100*++ for 6 months of the year and the people who live under it, just a step removed from the pioneers who settled this place, are accordingly tough. Country Texas isn't about safe spaces, onesies and the appalling New York Times.

That in mind, country Texans almost always tend to be more polite, friendly, considerate and, per England, sussed, than their urban cousins. They're also smart and haven't bought into our modern myths.

Remember the Alamo not the hideous Riverwalk

Viz. Removing statues of Confederate Generals will make persons of color flourish and prosper, paying a Climate Tax will cool the sun, gender's a construct, and getting rid of all your guns will make you safe. 

Did I say Frontier Spirit? There's that too.

God bless,
