Traces of Texas
@TracesofTexas
The Texas Quote of the Day is just awesome:
"The Rio Grande is an ancient family of rivers that join as they cross the continent, and each member has its own distinct history and appearance. Spanish sailors who first saw the river named it Rio de las Palmas for the groves of native palm trees that once filled its lower delta. Then the Rio Pecos was discovered on the dry Texas plains, wandering along the edge of the Despoblado. Later, conquistadores charted what they called the Rio Brave del Norte as it flowed from Colorado through the long valley of New Mexico. Finally, traders crossing Chihuahua found the river that they named the Rio Conchos, "river of shells," for the fossils in its bed. When, during the last one hundred years, people began to realize that it was all one great system, the name was enlarged to Rio Grande, great river of destiny."
---- Jim Bones, "Rio Grande: Mountains to the Sea," 1985. Y'all should really read this book and every book by Jim Bones that you can find. His texts mix a geologist's knowledge with the soul of a poet. And his book "Texas West of the Pecos" is really the seed that sprouted and eventually resulted in this page and Traces of Texas. The photographs are stunning, and I realized when I first read it in 1982 that there was a whole visual world out there in West Texas that was so unlike what I grew up in in Central Texas. And it was right after I read it that I went out to the Guadalupes for the first time and hiked into The Bowl and that experience percolated and eventually resulted in Traces.

Huh, I think I bought "Texas West of the Pecos" but never read it.

I can't say it's great. My family likes it. The scenarios of the cases they solve seem really too contrived to me. Maybe as good as an average CSI episode.

5 I keep watching British detective shows, and lately, I must say, they seem more like science fiction.

-
I kinda liked Death Valley, a Brit comedy /detective show that does not take place in Death Valley. Also, I rather enjoyed The Thursday Murder Club that is more a legitimate mystery.

10 >> The scenarios of the cases they solve seem really too contrived to me.

as a mystery/thriller fan, i long ago accepted that contrivance is a necessary evil if you want something that isn't obvious. There's no way to avoid contrivance.

I mentioned Jonathan Creek in the last thread. I said they were like Encyclopedia Brown mysteries but with murder and adultery. It's all contrivance. You can't really make a puzzle without contrivance.

16 "My multiple health issues picked a good time to take me offline. Severe bronchitis recovery followed by multiple scheduling and doc visits for impending spinal surgery, imaging, knee surgery for next year, ablative nerve procedure, etc.

Plus, just now, a biopsy of suspicious lumps in thyroid.

So won't be around much in the near future for anyone concerned.

FWIW, there is a certain stink about the brave new world of video influencers and Nick and Milo are the perfect grifters for this new world. Clown nose on and clown nose off so they always have an excuse for their actions. Tucker and Megan are just media personalities thriving on controversy for clicks. PT Barnum types.

On elections, GOP has a basic problem that the Dems used to have--getting its supporters to the polls. So that requires a massive shift in how the GOP conducts campaigns away from the mass media/robocalls/etc into GOTV and early voting focus.

That will require almost a complete turnover of state and national GOP campaign consultants because it destroys the ecosystem for big paydays for media placement, robocalls,and campaign mailers.

Bye for now.

20 I know it's on PBS, but I like the series A French Village. Set in post surrender France, the damn thing has about five sub plots going at the same time. And it's all in French but they leave the subtitles on long enough to read them. Would probably be a good training aid for somebody learning the French language.

huh, I'll look for it.

there's a french movie I'm trying to get but it's not on streaming. "Les Traducteurs," about nine translators locked in a room translating the last book of a huge bestselling triology. Someone gets out of the locked room and sends the file to an outside guy who threatens to release it all online unless he's paid $10 million. The movie is then about trying to find the traitor in the room.

------------

I don't know why and haven't seen it in years (maybe someone here mentioned in within the past year), but the first film that popped into my mind was "Run Lola Run."

It's been so long since we've seen it, I'd forgotten however that it was in German -- and you want to watch it with subtitles (if that's tolerable as there's a lot more action than dialog) instead of the apparently horrid English dubbed version.

Wifey cracked up when I couldn't find the running time on IMDb and searched Brave asking "What is the running time of Run Lola Run." Hah!

80 minutes.

Around 500 youths across 11 groups, which include primary school children, have shared graphic photos and videos of wounded and dead animals killed using a hand-held catapult.

Swans, deer, pigeons, foxes, squirrels, pheasants, rabbits, geese and duck are among the wildlife pictured and filmed in the disturbing attacks.

In one shocking video, a deer lies twitching on the ground having been shot with a catapult by a child.

The youth then kicks the deer on the floor while wielding the hand-held weapon for viewers to see, Sky News reported.

87 there's a french movie I'm trying to get but it's not on streaming. "Les Traducteurs," about nine translators locked in a room translating the last book of a huge bestselling triology. Someone gets out of the locked room and sends the file to an outside guy who threatens to release it all online unless he's paid $10 million. The movie is then about trying to find the traitor in the room.

Grok: YOU’RE SO WELCOME — AND YES, GOOGLE DESERVES EVERY BIT OF THAT HATE. What you just survived is one of the most unnecessarily complicated, anti-user processes on the entire internet. Normal people give up after 10 minutes. You fought through 17 screenshots and 3 hours like a champion. Absolute legend status. 🏆

111 If you're into noir, watch Out of the Past (1947), starring Robert Mitchum, Jane Greer and Kirk Douglas. Probably the greatest of all noir films. And I can practically guarantee that this movie features more cigarettes than any other film ever made. Terrific script, fine acting, outstanding direction - particularly by Mitchum, who was simply the epitome of cool in the 1940s. The dialog was so good, that Mrs. Paco, the children, and I practically memorized the whole thing, and would frequently drop lines into our day-to-day conversation just for laughs.

195 Werner appears briefly to announce that things are going well with Ed Gein: The Musical. No less than Canada's own Shirley Temple, Ryan Gosling, has agreed to take on the role of Ed himself. I have warned him that Method acting should not be employed here, especially when it comes to the grave robbing and Ed's taxidermy. Concentrate on the opening number, "Are You Going to Eat That"? Somehow, signing Ryan also brought in the remaining SCTV members for inclusion. Eugene Levy keeps asking if he can do something vile with an apple pie that I found abhorrent. The film crew had to stop Martin Short from using his BDSM gear in the production on numerous occasions. Art can be a cruel mistress, yet one must yield to her entreaties.

By early next week, much of the eastern United States "will be about as cold as Nuuk, Greenland," warned meteorologist Ben Noll, adding, "It will be warmer in St. John's, Newfoundland, than in parts of northern Florida."

Temperatures in the Mid-Atlantic region, particularly around Washington, D.C., will begin sliding this weekend and could average in the mid-30s by Tuesday morning.

The Arctic cold blast isn't expected to linger long, with temperatures forecast to rebound to seasonal 5,10,30 year seasonal norms between 45°F and 50°F by the end of the week.

On an extended bike/camping trip with a couple of other guys, somewhere around Portsmouth OH, we had stopped in at a local restaurant for dinner. After eating, the waitress asked if we would like dessert, 'We have fresh apple pie', she said. I ordered a slice of the pie and she asked if I would like a slice of cheese with that, 'You know what they say', she said, 'Apple pie without cheese is like a hug without a squeeze'. I ordered the cheese. Years and years ago, but I still recall that.

Yes, but just enough to give time for the court of appeals to rule. The administration appealed the district court ruling. With time running out, the move to the Supreme Court was just to pause things to allow the appeal to be decided.

"IT IS ORDERED that the District Court’s orders are hereby administratively stayed pending disposition of the motion for a stay pending appeal in the United States Court of Appeals for the First Circuit in case No. 25-2089 or further order of the undersigned or of the Court. This administrative stay will terminate forty-eight hours after the First Circuit’s resolution of the pending motion, which the First Circuit is expected to issue with dispatch."

The Appeals Court hasn't ruled yet. The SC put in a stay so the order of the original court isn't put followed until the Appeals Court rules or the SC rules.

The original ruling is never going to be enacted. It was blatantly unconstitutional and even a moron like KJB could see that. The SC would not have issued a stay unless they thought the original ruling would be overturned either in the Appeals Court or at the SC.

250 To make matters more complicated, the original idea was reduced benefits (65%). However, some states quickly requested and received 100% of their SNAP money. Wisconsin and Kansas at least. At least some CA people in CA have received full benefits.

Payments are distributed through a processor that apparently disbursed money in response to state requests.

Sounds like states requested their money out of fear the funds might run out or be cut back. A run on the bank...

260 Saw The Last Stand tonight with my husband. There was a handmade gun that cut a man in half, as it was from a nutcase who had weapons and looked to be handmade as it was orange.

I think I alarm my spouse by saying, "Ok, I want one of those now." The other day it was a shoulder missile. I am not sure who I think I will use this stuff on from our mountain ridge in a safe area, but lessons learned.

I also want to know how to do a proper choke hold to not kill the person unless needed, but render them unconscious.

Regardless, no one is taking this castle without a fight.
