1. If it were just Oklahoma and say Texas this would be no problem.
But it is the whole dang country and a chunk of Canada as well.
I love to walk out at 9 p.m. and find that it is still 100 degrees and 60% humidity like it was last night.

2.It made sense for yesterday for trans-Atlantic flghts. But if they keep it up well, then it's a kin to having everybody take off their shoes to get on the plane. Dumb. I love how all of the right wing pundents are crediting the "Patriot Act" and the NSA intra-America pattern analysis with this result. Guess they have never heard of MI-5, MI-6, and the GCHQ in Great Brittan.

3. Israel had already indicated that were withdrawing their big "targets" from Lebanon and replacing them with smaller squads of ranger types.

4.Tucker still has not recovered from the whoupping he took from John Stewart on 'Cross-Fire' as far as I'm concerned. I especially love the interview he did last week with the guy featured in News Week that had been laid off after 30 years with his company and decided not to look for other work but just opt out of the labor market. Tucker asked him if he didn't feel guilty letting all these other people go to work and pay taxes to support his reduced lifestyle. But the guy wasn't getting any government money just his partial pension. Duh!

Anderson replaced the last real newsman that CNN had. Now they got him on two hours straight each night. That gives him twice as much time to screw up as he had before.

Now I have to go. I have the James Brothers and the Dalton Gang in my basement replacing my hot water heater in my house built in 1916 that somehow isn't "up to code".
 

It's clear to see from your ramblings you had too much grass to smoke in you younger days, or maybe that's what you do on a rainy day.
 

Oh, a cat can't get struck by lightning. You know why? Because she's too close to the ground. See, lightning strikes tall things. Now if she were a giraffe, then she'd be in trouble. You sure don't have to worry about cats.
 

Maybe it is a cat in a tree.

Most of the people in the world have never seen one of those 5 gallon "drops" of rain let loose by an Oklahoma convectional thunderstorm. I've seen them knock birds out of the sky. They've been known to flatten a cat and drown a dog who happened to be looking up. I watched one single drop fill up a bucke t and spill over onto the patio as well.
A dozen good drops can water a whole lawn.

It may be that you haven't had enough grass in you elder days.
 

I think banning liquid items is reasonable. If they ban solids and gases, then I think we could just 'bout count on being really pretty safe.
 

Maybe this will help accelerate the development of those time-space transporter doo-hickeys!
 

Have to agree with drlobojo on the first half of #2. We had to start taking our shoes off, so the bad guys went another route--duh. Pretty soon we'll all have to strip down and change into prison-style jumpsuits in order to get on a plane.

El Al is supposed to be one of the safest airlines. What procedures do they follow?
 

Oops, meant to add that I'm not informed enough, at this point, to weigh in on the second half of drlobojo's #2. Didn't want him to think I was being Republican or anything. ;)
 

I think our felined frenzied person has hit upon the best travel method ever:

Naked flying.

Not only is it refreshing, it's also good viewin'. :-)

And, in the case of those looking at me, not so good viewin'.
 

well, den, new T-shirt saying:

Fly naked.
 

LOL, Teditor!

(You'll notice I also said something about jumpsuits. Not only would it not be such great viewing in my case, either, I wouldn't want to sit my bare derriere on a seat that two dozen other bare derrieres have sat on that day. Eww!)
 

Fly Nekkid, Y'all.

Hey, are cats known to be shape shifters?

A few times every day, I think I see Ice-T out of the corner of my eye, and then when I look, he's gone, and there si a common household item in his place!!

On gallon rain drops: Drlobojo, once while writing a weather roundup story in Texas, I put this lede on the story and it was literally true:

"It hailed by the truckload Friday evening."

County agent around Lawton, Okla., told me he was caugght out in it and it filld his pickup truck bed. And a county agent who had been out around Turkey, Texas, told be the same thing happened to him.

To nonbelievers: I have seen with my own two eyes hailstones graded off from a county road into a drift four feet high, FOUR hours after they fell.

Flash: Bird and Yankeebeaus stranded on Interstate 35, 50 mils south of OKC. AAA called. Local garage alerted. Dr. ER en route. (I was in OKC with a load of perishable vittles when the help call came.) YankeeBeau's care quit him. Bird thinks a greasemonkey left the oil drain plug off yesterday. Well, no, or they wouldn'ta made it so far from Houston. Maybe loose. But I wonder whether his radiator, or a hose, is leaking. Old radiators don't like day after day of 100-plus degree heat.
 

Now, the way I see it, Texans have very little choice as to vote Democratic or not.

They can stick with good ol' Good Hair. Lot of good he's done the state in the last six years. We're racing to the bottom of ever category in the country.

I really don't think that most intelligent people will be fooled by Carol Four-Names "Republican in Independent Clothing" schtik.

Once the true "independents" wake up and see that Kinky is just a windbag. They will have to look for the candidate with strong stances on the issues.
 

Sorry to hear about the car trouble. Heat and time have helped me donate 3 cars to the Cancer Society this Summer.
Remind me to tell you the story of coasting all the way down from Raton Pass into a gas station at Trinadad 11 miles away.

Now the jump suits and slippers are probably in the works for air travel. Naw couldn't go the necked route. The real solution is to drive, take a train or a boat.

It did occur to me that the terrorist could just stick it up some orfice to get it on the plane, or maybe drink it and pee it out half way over the Atlantic.

One news gal with a new baby was complaining that they made her dispose of the breast milk that she had expressed and saved to take back home for her baby while on a trip.
Now that's hard core security.
 

No, Doc, hard-core security would've been for them to deplane the momma since she was "carrying on" liquid containers.
 

Man who drop watch in toilet bound to have shitty time.
Man who stand on toilet high on pot.
Man who smoke pot choke on handle.
Man who walk through airport door sideways going to Bangkok.
Man who have women on ground have piece on earth.
Man who run behind car get exhausted.
Take many nails to make a crib but one screw to fill it.
Man who go to bed with itchy ass wake up with sticky fingers.
 

Okay, so why couldn't she nurse the baby during the flight? It's possible to do without flashing fellow passengers. Sheesh.
 

So, which form of livestock did ya' go with? :)
 

Wow. A rare entertaining 'Mouse!

:-)

Hamburger steaks.

2 lbs, with a packet of Beefy Onion soup mix, some Whats-this-here sauce, teaspoon of minced garlic, and just about as much Lawry's and thyme as I'da used if I was grilling four steaks.

This will be an experiment, as all of my cookin' is. I mighta overdid it with the spicin' up. We'll see.

And I'm gonna take the drippings and try to make gravy -- but I got some mushroom gravy-in-a-packet as a backup.

Green beans from a can.

Mashed taters from the KFC not too far away, since they are Bird's favorite.
 

Teditor, they *do* call 'em "jugs."

Wocka-wocka.
 

Oh, and "grilled" -- in the skillet -- onion.

Dr. ER is amused. I have recently disovered that one can actually cook INSIDE THE HOUSE. The heat shut down my grilling gene! I made barbecued chicken in the dang oven the other day! Sold!
 

More wet stuff from the sky just now on he way to and fro the KFC. ... Strange rumbling noise from the sky! ... and there are these weird gray things floating around up there! ???
 

Kinky for Texas governor. He'd have my vote if I could give it to him. I am all FOR shaking up systems that need shaken up!

I sure wish the Austin press would "out" Mr. hair and be done with it. The good folks of Haskell County would bar him at the county line.
 

What do you call it when it rains chickens and ducks? fowl weahter
 

FF, baby was at home, momma was on trip.
 

Oh! Well then I see the side of security. No baby, no milk. Make more later.
 

Then what do you leave for the baby next trip you take?
I think she should have dropped her maternity bra flap and squirted the guy. Now that would be a news story.
 

That brings up a thought. Now what if they carried it on in fake tits? FX people can do marvelous things with latex bady parts. I mean wouldn't there have to be an examination of any possible container that could pose a security breech?
 

...latex body parts....
