Some convincing forged emails coming in
15 July 2010I’ve been seeing some very convincing forged emails allegedly from Amazon.com.
If you didn’t order anything, and you get an email confirmation, chances are it’s the scam I’m seeing. Even if you did order something, it’s possible to get this scam email mixed in with your own legitimate Amazon.com correspondence.
The object is to get [...]
Steve Forbert
23 April 2010This evening we saw Steve Forbert at McGonigel’s Mucky Duck in Houston.
What have I been smoking?
9 April 2010We were going to let the brisket cook till about 7, and eat at 7:30, which is candle-lighting time here in Livingston this week, but by 5:30 we couldn’t stand it any more. Neither of us had made any lunch today, plus the excitement had been building.
Smoke ‘em if you got ‘em!
9 April 2010Today, we start smoking. No, I haven’t taken leave of my senses. Tobacco can kill, and illegal drugs are… well… illegal. What we’re going to smoke is… Brisket!
Arrived!

It’s called “Colorado River” and indeed, it’s on the banks of that river. Note that this is not the Colorado River that carved the [...]
Do you know the way to San … Antonio?
21 March 2010We spent three days camped in Castroville, near San Antonio. We enjoyed a few dinners out, got the mail and prescriptions, and went to see the Alamo.
The Alamo is interesting, not in what it is, but in what it means to those who count themselves as patriotic Texans. Newly entering the state, I find this [...]
We are Entrucked!!!!
18 March 2010Growly the truck was returned to us this evening, after the following repairs:
Bouncing Around Fort Stockton
18 March 2010While waiting for the truck to be fixed, we’ve been trying to extract what entertainment value we could from our extended stay in Fort Stockton, TX. It’s not a bad place, but not a busy, bustling one either.
Sittin’ in Fort Stockton, TX
17 March 2010Into every life a little rain must fall. For full time RVers this usually manifests itself as mechanical difficulties.
