You got the routine down pat. I prefer bags of white cheddar though because I'm LAZY.

Talaniman: I didn't know you were a Texan! Well, I don't know if by birth or not,.....I have done a lot of work over the years in Orange, Texarkana, and Silsbee....have flown into DFW to drive up through Plano and go to Valliant, Okl., where I stayed in Idabel (what a sad town!). Love East Texas!

I have a parent born here so many peeps, I worked in the steel mills up north until I retired and came down here, but I have lived in MANY cities in the area including Plano, and in Irving right next to the DF...dub. All my summers as a kid were spent here, so where else would I go to escape those bitter winters and Lake effect snow?

Talaniman: I get it: You have go with what feels right, where your spirit feels at ease.....I could never imagine living anywhere except S.C., Ga., or Fla., its in my soul....and have to be in reach of the salt water....that's in my veins!

I get over to Dallas every once in a blue moon. Went to Bible College there. I'm gonna drop by some day. If you ever pass through Meridian, MS, then I'll buy you coffee.

jlisenbe: I did some work once about 25-30 years ago at a Roofing/Shingle plant in Meridian....I believe it was ATLAS? ATLAS ROOFING...can't really remember now? Anyway, I remember having to throw away all my clothes from there because I got the glass additive component into them and it irritated the hell out of my skin.

No safety equipment like a paper suit? Masks, filters, eye protection, gloves? I remember all the stuff we use to do before OSHA showed up.

I've driven through the Panhandle on our way to visit the fire ants on our vacant land west of Kingman. And have been friends for years with the now-retired Plainview public library director. And for 4.5 years have emailed/messaged daily with a young man who lives between Paris and Texarkana. Do these count?

Sure they count. For what I'm not sure but Texas is so vast with so many small towns spread out all over the place you can't remember them all.

Fire ants - ha ha.

This is getting to be a daily morning kaffe-klatch. I can almost tell who gets up when and who had their morning coffee. (smile)

As for grumpy old me, I won't join until cheeseburgerhead is tarred and feathered and ridden out of town on a rail.

How long, O Lord, how long?

It's been a coffee clatch for a long time between conservatives and liberals. Well before the dufus became the subject of conversation and hopefully after he is gone, sooner rather than later. You may not be as early a riser Athos, but you're here enough to be a part to it, and I'm glad of that!

Can I call when I put the coffee on?

Amen on the how long prayer!

DOJ Russian investigation has turned into a criminal probe!

Quote:

President Donald Trump has repeatedly called the Russia investigation conducted by special counsel Robert Mueller a "witch hunt."

Republicans have suggested the investigation stemmed from a plot by members of the Obama Administration and career intelligence officials, in what they call the "Deep State," to undermine Trump

This should be a good distraction from the Impeachment Inquiry, Ukraine, and Syria crisis. They HOPE! Or is he still trying to get Vlad off the hook, and lift sanctions by sending his own law enforcement officers to JAIL, and blame Obama?

Or another campaign stunt? You just never can tell about this lying, cheating bullying dufus agenda or his motives.
