Wolf counselor Loc: Heart of Texas
 
It's been a long day and I'm ready to bunk down.

My hotel room is home sweet home for a while.

I'll put my heating pad under the covers to get my bed nice and cozy and then I'll use it on my upper back for a while to melt away the tension in my muscles.

I stopped at "Pappas" Barbecue and got a half chicken with a double order of butter beans.

I'm working on that as we speak.

I found a Joel McCrea western movie on the boob tube and I have no inclination to watch any of the news networks tonight.

So I'll just finish my dinner and toggle back and forth from my western movie to my OPP friends and Goobers until I fall off to sleep.

Oh yeah, and by the way ya'll.................Happy Trails.

Fine-- My Grandfather was French Speaking and Canadian and he went on shore in the D Day invasion. He was a radio man and a telegrapher. He did not return home to Winnipeg for 3 years. I am proud of him and no doubt his sk**ls saved Canadian and American lives. You say you are Metis like me -----


My aunt married a Frenchie... Good man... Also in Manitoba now...

Metis is a French word... But that doesn't mean we are all French... I'm Scottish with a little English, plus the native...

No insult intended Tom...

The West and Quebec have never been close... Something to do with them getting a disproportionate amount of federal benefits while still trying to v**e themselves out of our nation

I'm about to hit the road to Houston.

I actually h**e Houston but my job requires me to work there periodically and quite frankly, we make a lot of money in Harris county.

I've traversed the United States extensively from coast to coast and I know every nook and cranny of Texas and Louisiana.

I've worked in Mexico, St Croix and Hawaii but I have never been to Europe or any other country abroad.

There was a time in my youth when if given the opportunity, I would have maybe visited places like Africa or Australia, but back then I was already busy exploring the many wonders of the good ol' USA.

Now, I have absolutely no desire to travel to any other place on Earth and I say that with an emphasis on China and Europe.

Even before the c****av***s, I had no use for China because I'm totally prejudiced against the Chinese.

European countries are now also on my prejudiced list mainly due to their blatant stupidity in regard to allowing the filthy Muslims to invade their borders and occupy their lands.

I know you'll want to crucify me because I admit my prejudiced views.

But maybe it'll put you at ease if I confess that my xenophobic opinions are the result of my redneck upbringing and that I never rule out the possibility that my opinions may change in the instance of enlightenment.

But for now, I prefer 'never' to be in the company of Chinese people, Muslims and dumb ass Europeans.

So for the remainder of my charmed Texas American Life, I have absolutely no desire to travel to any of these disease infested, Muslim infiltrated, politically ass backwards or poor S**thole countries abroad.

So it's off to Houston for me, and in about two weeks, I'm right back out of that big flood prone S**thole.

I’m not a redneck but I agree with your dispositions.

Sad to say, but I am to fishing what Louie Anderson is to pole-vaulting.

However, I do enjoy the social aspects of fishing with Family & friends.
When I was a kid, my parents and I caught Rainbow and Dolly Varden trout by the bushels. We fried them, baked them, and smoked them with cedar and hickory. Often dad and I would go fishing with a Dutch Oven and some sourdough starter and cook up a meal of fried fish and SD biscuits. Yum yum.

How about Canada?



I heard there is a shortage of food in China now.
I hope you're still well stocked.

Very much well stocked... Except for wine and whisky...

My stock took a severe hit in the lead up to the new year...

But all the supermarkets up here are still fully stocked...

Thanks for the concern... I've heard that hoarding is becoming an issue in Hebei province...

I hope you're able to get you some liquor so you won't go stir crazy.
I hope the situation improves very soon and you're able to live your normal lives.

Well... There are still a few bottles of wine... And a bottle of Maker's Mark my wife has been saving for a special occasion

I'm sure it will all calm down soon...

I'm getting lots of work done on my thesis.. . Finally

I agree with you. I’ve lived abroad, Europe and the Orient and I enjoyed meeting the people, but over the years they have become hell holes and while I feel sad for the decent people that I know are there, I have no desire to return. They have allowed this to happen and I fear we may allow the same to happen to us. The South is my Happy Place hangs on my oven door. I would like to see more of America, but not the East Coast or the West Coast and I’m certainly not anxious to spend any money or time in Mexico. After the past few weeks, I have no desire to meet any of the folks in Iowa. From recent reports in the news, they’ve lost their minds. I’ll just stay in the South.

Just saw a fox report of NJ they are expecting a huge turn out for TRUMP rally guess their fed up with their democratic choices for I hear they usually v**e democrat.Im hoping to retire this year and visit the country I'v only read about the USA in my working years only taken 3 or4 vacations and stayed home couldnt aford to go anywhere except one time and that was to visit my brother in reno. Want to see the national parks found there are cities in this country that are the replica of the people's homes they left behind. Here in Georgia, we have Helen which is like a Swiss village and more so in winter when it snow because its in the mountains. So you can visit other countries and not leave home ground just look it up on line and start making plans

BTW, Willy. I realize it would be a bit of a drive for you, but tomorrow is the monthly luncheon for our Bosque County Viet Nam Veterans group. It is held in the back room of Johnny's Place in Clifton, Texas, between 11am to 1pm. Should you decide to show up, it's my turn to buy. They do have a really good all-you-can-eat comfort food Wednesday buffet. They always serve chicken-fried steak, Salisbury steak, and chicken plank entres' with an array of vegetables, hot rolls, and cornbread...iced tea included.

I'm guessing the drive would be about 75 minutes or so.

Ahem....wish i would have seen this sooner slatt, 75 minutes is no time at all.....since it would have been on company time that makes for a good day. ..paid to eat, a little windshield time....
