    Wife of Republican Congressman Ejected From SOU Address

    This isn't getting as much press:<br /><br /> msnbc <br /><br />but also note this quote from Sheehan:<br /> The police said they told her it wasn't allowed in the chamber. Either way, if they didn't ask her to leave before arresting her, it won't look good for the administration.

    Taking Responsibility for Today's Rain

    Fellow north Texans, you can thank me later. It's all my doing. I did a little remodeling on the boat, including a floor in the cockpit where there wasn't one before, and a box for a couple batteries, to improve the weight balance. Temporary installed with untreated unpainted fresh plywood on...

    Hardware for under-the-floor access?

    It's a 15ft tri-hull fiberglass fishing boat, constant 5.? foot beam from transom nearly to the bow. I'm putting a floor into the cockpit area where it had none before. It'll only be 2" off the hull at the center. Where this floor meets the stern casting deck is a bulkhead (if you can call it...

    Official Buffoon Topic (Poll)

    I was somewhat disappointed that the other buffoon thread (How do you spell buffoon) was more about political issues, or spelling or something, instead of actual buffoons. Note that I've excluded sitting presidents and vice presidents out of respect for the office.<br /><br />Feel free to...

    Unofficial "24" Thread

    Today's Foxtrot comic - <br /><br /> <br /><br /><br />I watched the first season on DVD - but not in order - just got whatever episode they had in the store.

    This morning the wife had to leave before dawn (that never happens) to deal with a family matter out of town. Shortly after I went back to sleep I noticed red & blue flashing lights shining through the mini-blinds. Peeked out the bedroom window - there were several police cars in the street...

    How the heck am I supposed to remember this?

    Reading a Trailers & Towing forum thread about lost wheels reminded me of this.<br /><br />I keep my boat in a storage yard couple miles away, had it at home last weekend doing some maintenance-type stuff, including changing out a leaky rear seal on the trailer hub. <br /><br />Standard...

    Twenty-three years and counting

    The wife & I celebrated our 23rd yesterday; it's the first marriage for both of us. <br /><br />What's our secret? A preacher's wife gave us some advice 21 years ago which we have followed "religiously" - seems to have worked: every night, always maintain some kind of physical contact. No...

    Dog overboard!

    I saw it coming & yelled a warning but it was too late. We were fishing in some timber, a pretty stiff wind was blowing, the boat was drifting sideways toward a stump.
