Ever drunk from a water hose? Water hoses are vinyl, too. It's still pvc with lots of plasticizer to make it flexible. People say those plastizers are worse than the minute amount of vinyl chloride carcinogens in pvc pipe. They say they cause everything from prenatal deaths to hair loss because...

yes

It's not so much the cold in this area. It's the ice, the footing, the lack of traction for vehicles. I've driven on snow in the mountains for years but the ice where we live now shuts everything down. One winter, I couldn't even get up the driveway to the closest road. It's getting like that...

That car really ran and was so smooth you didn't notice how fast it was going. Shiney Black with Chrome trim all over, it was a good looking car.

Not much later than that, probably 1957 about the age of three, I did the same with a bobby pin. It turned red hot and blew like a fuse faster than I could react. Took a while to heal the burns. What a way to learn a lesson about electricity!

I had one in my 1960 Ford Falcon. I was really up town. Lot's of cars didn't have air conditioning. As a kid we had a second hand 1956 Chrysler New Yorker that had factory air behind the back set with vents coming up inside the back windshield. Later on a local stockcar guy bought the car for...

They are running ads here for "free nights" of electricity and it's "100% Solar". You tell me how that's done and I will show you an accountant trick behind it.

Looking up records, it seems like my great great grandfathers family in Tennessee married into nearly ever neighbors family up and down the valley where they farmed. I've been back there on a Sunday and went to church. A friendly lady asked where we were from and why were were there and I told...

Back at you. Lot's to be thankful for, if we take the time to reflect on our lives. For my wife and I today, we haver influenza Type A and therefore the kids and grands couldn't be here to share our blessings. We are thankful, no the less, for all the family and friends we have and the more...

I have to be careful nowadays when I malign the medical profession. My daughter-in-law, who is an BSN-RN, just started medical school to be a family practice doctor. She has a few things going for her besides nursing experience. She was raised immersed in the world of medicine as well as large...

Yep! That's the other word these newly minted practitioners use that irritates me. "Peerrfect"!

My primary doc is in BSW, too. They have some good doctors, practitioners and nurses in Southlake. Unfortunately, the old guard doctors, who actually know something are being replaced by inexperienced ones or newly minted practitioners that act more like waitresses than doctors. It may be that I...

PACE wasn't necessarily made in Texas either. There was a contract canning plant in Las Cruces, NM that was locked down so no pictures could be taken while they were putting up PACE products. My father went in there to work on their equipment during one such product run. Eventually CONAGRA...

I'm here NW of Ft Worth. Pasture was dead but I went ahead and spread 300 lbs of UAN twodays before the rains started. We've had nearly five inches here since then. I wasn't expecting the quick turnaround. Now I have lots of tall and thick bermuda and nothing to graze it. I guess it's time to...

First I own both Ford stock and long dated call options. Should have sold moths ago when the stock market was buying anything based on mostly hype. Under valued now at around 15. Lots of potential, if they can get production rates up. Cramer says to sell if it gets to 20. I'm looking for the...

I spent a lifetime in Baytown one year(1976). First time away from the desert of southern New Mexico. I thought I was being drowned. Actually, it was one of the driest years for them. My brother ended up marrying a girl from there. She's a peach. Still don't like the town.

I watch Jim Cramer every day that he is on. I also pay for extra advice/access through the investing club. He is good but has his blind spots. His reliance on personal relationships with CEO's can lead to big losses. Think Bausch Health. I couldn't see putting money into a company that had that...

I'm nearly 68 now and have been investing nearly ever since I started working back in the 70's. There are several things I would tell a new investor. 1. Save as much as you can. Take control of your spending. Know where your.money goes. You will he surprized how much you wasting your money on...

I agree with the hiring out your kids part. Work and wholesome activity has it's own rewards. Service to others is even better. BTW-Calling Whataburger junk food is near heresy around when I live. My grandmother, back in the 60's when she was in her late 70's, used to say a hamburger was nearly...

Clouds have been popping up here and there but very little precipitation.
