An ongoing drought has revealed about 70 dinosaur tracks at Dinosaur Valley State Park in Glen Rose, Texas.

The footprints, which date back about 110 million years, had been hidden under water and mud in the Paluxy River, which cuts through the state park, according to the Chron.com.

Experts think that the tracks, found in what is known as the state park's Ball Room site, belonged to two different species of dinosaurs. The three-toed tracks were likely from the giant carnivore Acrocanthosaurus, while the "elephant-looking" footprints were stomped into the ground by a massive long-necked Sauroposeidon.

Acrocanthosaurus was one of North America's largest predators during the Early Cretaceous period (145 million to 101 million years ago), with a length of about 40 feet (12 meters). Yet the long-necked Sauroposeidon, a genus of sauropod, dwarfed it, stretching approximately 100 feet (30 m) long and weighing a whopping 110,000 pounds (50 metric tons), according to the Natural History Museum in London.

The "Dog Days" of summer is named after Sirius, Alpha Canis Majoris (the alpha big dog), the brightest star in the sky.

The heliacal rising of Sirius was associated with the hottest days of summer. At the time of the ancient Greeks, this rising was right around the last week in July (Gregorian). The ancient Egyptians associated it with the annual flooding of the Nile.

70 New Mexico governor issues order to suspend open and concealed carry of guns in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County

Lujan Grisham, a Democrat, issued an executive order Thursday evening declaring gun violence a public health emergency.
Gov. Michelle Lujan Grisham on Friday announced a new public health order that, she said, will ban people from carrying firearms, either open or concealed, in Albuquerque and throughout Bernalillo County for the next 30 days, regardless of whether they have a permit.

During a news conference Friday, she said she expects legal challenges to the public health order and expressed uncertainty about whether the order would prevail in court.
The order states "no person, other than a law enforcement officer or licensed security officer, shall possess a firearm ... either openly or concealed, with cities or counties averaging 1,000 or more violent crimes per 100,000 residents per year since 2021."

It's a culture if dependence. Of this, I am sure. FWIW - I didn't stumble on this little theory myself. Another Moron here, can't remember the name, talking about "IceBacks". Folks from Minnesota. It applies to folks from most of the North East as well.

If you live in New Mexico, you are not self sufficient. You simply are not anymore. You are as free as your connection to municipal water. Same in Arizona. Same as Southern California.

@GovMLG
Today I issued a 30-day ban on the open & concealed carrying of guns in Albuquerque and Bernalillo County. Gun violence is killing between 2 and 3 children every month in NM - every single one of these deaths is unconscionable and they must stop.

It does matter. To insist it does not is to remind me of my Boomer Dad. He's always quick on the draw to say "it doesn't matter". Nothing matters, in his mind. Nothing changes anything, and nothing will ever change.

Nothing will ever get worse, he'll always be able to draw his benefits, and things will always work out for the best no matter the worst. That's a unique way of thought that I've learned is not so unique, to his cohort. Must have been one Hell of a way to grow up.

NEW: Texas can keep floating border buoys for now: appellate court

||A US appellate court ruled Thursday that Texas does not have to immediately remove its controversial buoys, installed by the state’s Republican governor on the river border with Mexico to deter migrant crossings.

The “administrative stay” temporarily halts a decision issued Wednesday by a federal judge in Texas, which gave the southern state until September 15 to move the barriers. [...]

“This fight ain’t over. It’s only just begun,” said Texas Governor Greg Abbott on X, formerly known as Twitter.||

The respectable locals were beside themselves as to why the police wouldn't put those Somalis in check. And that is the story of DC through Maine.

123 I have a feeling that Pug is probably with Mrs. Pug and not on the board, but I wanted to thank him for recommending the movie, "The Book of Eli." In my usual approach, I am watching a movie years after it was released, but not as many years as it took me to watch that movie with Bruce Willis. Anyway, it was very violent but ultimately quite uplifting for anyone who's a Christian. I like the acting of Denzel Washington-too because he's a very fine but understated actor. Mila Kunis was adorable. And Gary Oldman was excellent as always We'll have to watch it again with our son who had been on a kick listening to Tom Waits songs and will enjoy seeing him doing an acting performance.

125 New Mexico governor declares gun violence emergency, APD chief responds
youtube.com/watch?v=Mbht08uW7Lk
https://tinyurl.com/yvap6cbu

In the order, the governor [said] the statewide public health emergency is currently set for an “unknown duration” until further directions are provided.
Albuquerque Police Department Chief Harold Medina gave his response:
“I thank the governor for recognizing that the highest levels of state government need to get involved in this. And I also recognize that a lot of these things that need to change are outside the control of the City of Albuquerque, and I hope our state legislature is listening. I hope the governor can put meaningful things on the agenda in the spring and that we can really make a difference in keeping bad people in jail.

The governor has already asked Attorney General Garland to send additional federal agents to New Mexico. Chief Medina argues that is not what his department needs:
“Too many times I hear, like over and over again, every time that something occurs, somebody wants to bring more federal resources. I don’t need more federal agents in Albuquerque. You know what I need? I need more federal prosecutors.”

With their own guns. Long before Indiana, a place where nobody actually wants to live, was even a wet spot. And they were more than self-sufficient, they built a new country.

They've been invaded by a large degree by the leftist virus because this area is the home of universities and industry but it's not because of those yankees who still dominate the area. And there are many, many guns here.

183 My friend said to rig a foot switch for the disposal. That way you can just run it when running apples through.

Foot switch and hand switch. Try to make it such that it is darned near physically impossible for the motor to start when your hand is anywhere near the blades.

Thank you President Trump for issuing the edict to let us all back outside ? Is that what DeSantis should say ?

188 I swapped eight tires around today. My back is sore. But the '49 Ford is now wearing a matched set of four radial all-season tires with good tread. Stale dated, but enough for a road test, when one is needed.

He should have stayed Governor, been Trumps biggest booster, finished out his term and ran in 28.

But apparently Meatball Rob got an idea in his head that this was his moment...

And a Modelo. Ok. Two.

I am fine. Done with tools for the day. Just had a nice Caesar cocktail, going to get to work on dinner soon. Took six scrap tires to the dump; came back with two not-so-scrap (but iffy) tires to use as rollers. You know, to put under a non-running vehicle so it can be rolled around as needed.

Cool! My first was a '51 Studebaker. It sure seems like Studebaker engineers and Ford engineers were taking lunch together in the late '40's, because there are many points of similarity in their new chassis designs to replace the warmed-over pre-War models.

Toured the Studebaker Museum in South Bend Indiana, some of those cars were literal pieces of art.

They certainly don't make them like that anymore.

I recall when my grandmother was still above grade, one of her favorite infantile games was to give the children pots and pans and a wooden spoon and marching orders to play the "I'm the boss" game. Never has such a racket been heard since then.

219 AOP - Sorry to hear about your friend. A while back I looked up an old Army buddy, only to learn that he had died of a heart attack. Kicked myself, of course for not having been in touch over the years. I did learn that he has two daughters. I've pondered getting in touch to tell them about their father's time in the Army, and what a nice guy he was. Dunno...still thinking about it.

Anyhow, were you to go the Thunder Road route, I could probably arrange for the illicit load. I know certain people...

Cumberland Gap is just up the road. There are, incidentally, plenty of people here who remember the filming of the movie.

220 No one has ever demonstrated the remotest interest in my first car, a '51 Plymouth.

"Ooooo...ahhh", said no one. I, on the other hand, thought that I was king of the road. I'm sure that we all did.
