Over the bounding Visa card
Back when I was a little kid, and people would ask me what I wanted to be when I grew up, I would usually offer the normal, expected kid answers. I would say I wanted to be a fireman or a doctor or the guy who sits in that little room behind the ATM and sticks the money through the slot.
Shutters Closed on Red Light Cameras…
Attention drawn to “red light cameras” has a broadened focus in Dallas. Some “Big D” traffic signals--designed to be effective for 25 years--have been in service since 1940, with almost all in use since 1980.

Welcome Summer. We have had a few hot days. This is most likely a preview of the weather to follow for several months. I am totally comfortable at 70 to 76 degrees. This is not my best time of year. It is often out of my temperature range at night and always out of range during the day.
Somewhere it’s five o’clock.
And somewhere it’s NOT 90 degrees.
Wonder where that is…
Possibly the other side of the world.
Since it’s Winter in the Southern Hemisphere.
June, July, and August.
Down under.

We had to wait for it this year, but it looks like summer may have finally arrived in Mason County. And it may turn out to be a scorcher yet.

An Open Letter to Our Reps in Congress

I just contacted Senator Cornyn to ask him to please remove the phrase ‘Protecting Our Values’ from his fundraising website.
Homemade Cinnamon Rolls – A Bread Machine Recipe

I’ve made cinnamon rolls more ways than a dog can chew a bone, but every time I see a new recipe for them, I just have to try it. I was particularly interested in this one, since it took the dough-making process out of my hands and put it into the tender care of a bread machine.
