Got started on the petition yesterday, and just around this neighborhood, i got about a dozen signatures. Not gonna be hard. No one wants that road shut off. Bro said he got about 20 at church on domino nite.
I saw a pic of a roadrunner on Jojo's blog, and it made me remember the pair that were here for years. Those are some fasinating birds! They are nosy, and funny. When i was out in the yard, they would stretch that long neck out from behind a bush or something, watching me, seeing what i was up to. I watched them playing chase one time, around a big bush. One would catch up, and both would jump high in the air, then take off again, round and round.. I didn't have my flip cam then and missed so much. They raised one chick a year, and you never saw it til it looked as grown as them. I got to watch their mating dance once, just happened to look out the window, and saw one running across the street with a lizard in it's mouth. Guess it was the "he", cause "she" was here in the yard with her wings hanging down, kinda fluttering. He ran up to her with that lizard and dropped it right at her feet. Then they did all this crazy looking dance,,jumping, bowing,,round and round each other. A vehicle went by and scared them off. LOVED those silly birds! They were around for about 5 years, then i just never saw them again. Saw one, once, and had high hopes.
They are like the armadillos, cotton tails, and other things that have just about disappeared around here. Where i live, there should be lots of cottontails, but i've never seen even one. Last year i told my son that i had never seen a rabbit here, and the very next day!!!!, i looked out my back door and there was a jack rabbit in my neighbor's back yard, til the kids there saw it and ran it off. And to this day, that is the ONLY one. I called him and said,,you're not gonna believe this,,,,,, I think the fire ants have a lot to do with the disappearance of ground nesting things. Well, even tree nesting. I've heard they have even hurt our deer population, getting to the babies. Haven't ever heard anything else about those knats. Maybe i ought to contact that man again, and ask about the progress. It's a knat that kills those ants. Imported,,,lol. They had been released in a few counties when i had first contacted him at the UT. He told me they were as close as the next county over from me, and if i would, to let him know if i saw them here. I never did, but last year, didn't see the ants either. They stayed way underground, due to the lack of water.
My yard needs mowing so bad. I told the man that does it, to do it any time it's dry enough. I haven't seen these weeds get like this ever. Not these. I think they are ragweed. About a foot tall, real thick now. Frost sure didn't hurt em.
Not excited about super bowl, probably won't even watch it. If i go to my bro Bs house, it'll be on for sure, only way i would see any. I'm not in any pots, so no interest.
Well, gone for today, yall tc, and

the GATE
Finally remembered to do this. Was getting kinda late, but enlarge em and they’re ok.
Not only is the gate all the way across the road, but the ditches are fenced too. No way around. Can you tell the road is paved? Which means it’s a city maintained street, city owned. (which is US) LOLOLOL,,,Don’t fence me,,,,OUT. hahahaha. Also, I don’t remember if I told you, he does not own both sides, he owns one side, leases the other. That was the argument that the city manager said why he could do this. But we don’t think that’s true at all. Guess we’ll find out.
Today is Friday, which doesn’t mean a thing any more. lolol,,,Used to be,,Party Time! I was so surprised yesterday to find out the date was the 26th! hahahah,,,Was paying my taxes and asked. Got my little gadget, calendar, on this, just need to look at it. I do look at my sticky notes, and most of the time, glance at the calendar.
I wanted so bad, to ask DD about his swamp, but I have so many times,, I didn’t do it. Soooo,,,I was really thrilled to see it today. TYTYTY DD. Again.
Guess I’m out of things to say, HA,,in print, anyway. So yall tc, and

Time, Time, Time
Not much time today after bro came by and we polished up our petition. Got an appointment to get a hair cut in a bit, so time is short. Which doesn't matter anyway, nothing new going on.
Just tried to eat a couple of slices of pizza for lunch. That stuff just won't go down, had to quit. Gets hung and i have to upchuck a little to get it out. No more! When it is shut down, liquids won't go down either so you can't take a drink to wash something down. Won't go!
Also been messing with one of my scanners, not picking up the dispatcher, which is strange. I think it's the antenna connection but haven't been able to help it. Got another one plugged in now, checking. I get it on one of them, so i should be on the others. Get the ones talking to the dispatch, just don't get dispatch. GRRRRRRRRRRRRR Had 2 people call me and ask what was going on nite before last...hahahaha...was a hi speed chase from maybe Brady, for the man, driver, supposedly very suicidal. He ran over tack strips in 2 different places and still didn't stop. When he finally did, it was in the lot at my son's place. hahahaha,,,and he was one of the 2 that called, and missed it by about a minute, had just left. They took him to jail, and about 15 minutes later, were calling for EMS. See how exciting a little town is? hahahahaha,,,My ears really perk up when i hear my last name on there...seeing who, what, where is going on. One time my nephew told the cop, they just wanted to go walking in the dark!!!,,,lmaooo,,,told him later, couldn't you think of something better than that!! They had looked suspicious. He started laughing,,said he told his friend,,,my aunt will hear this! They had parked their vehicle at some storage units and walked to a tower and climbed it,,,sure couldn't tell that. Wish my son hadn't told things HE did, don't need others doing them.
Gonna go ahead and pay my house taxes today. We used to get a discount by paying them early, now,,it's the same til the end of Jan. So i never give them my money to use any earlier than i have to. Doing it today, cause i am kinda forgetful,,,lololol.

Late Today
I'm still laughing over my imagination of BB driving around a Walmart in one of those electric carts!!! Don't blame his son for telling him he wasn't gonna be with him any more....hahahaha
My bro G came by this morning and we got this river stuff ready to start getting signatures on. I also talked to our game warden yesterday, and he said he did know about it, but understood that the gate was going to be way on down by the railroad tracks. Said he would go by when he was back here, and get back to me. My phone line kept cutting me off and on yesterday after the rain started, and when the repairman came by today, (problem was on the pole) he was even shocked about that gate. Said he even used that street to take his kids to the river. And he will be glad to sign our petition. Everybody has said that too. The friend on the city council called this morning, asking how we were doing on it, and when we wanted to get on the agenda with it. Also, asking how she could help.
Just saw on the weather, how bad Houston is getting it right now. wooooohoooo,,DD,,gonna get that swamp full YET! It started here about 1';30, i was awake,,bad wind, then later the rain. lololol,,,we got a total of .54! Always that way. Maybe a little more coming tonite.
I ordered some pants, online of course, and just don't know HOW i managed to get the size of 2 wrong!! How can you do that? Makes NO sense to me. Anyway, i sacked them back up, went to the post office to get them sent back and,,,WHEN did the postage go up so high? Cost 8;05 for just 2!!! Way back when, woulda been about 4;00. Is that the way they're gonna use to stay in business? lololol. At least i won't have to pay postage on the exchanges coming back to me. Which made no sense either, but i asked several times,,to be sure.
*&^%^%#! it!,,,set my vcr to record Idol last nite, and did it wrong! Hate when i do that. I've watched some shows later online, maybe i can find this. Looked for the one on Sunday nite, but never found it, so missed it too. And,,i would turn my tv off if i couldn't get something besides Obama. When i see a blog doing politics, it's OFF for me! Who the hell cares what their opinion is??? Got mine, yours won't change it, soo,,,won't listen,,or read.
OK,,enough of that,,,lolololo,,yall tc, and

Did You See Him?
Did i see Hobojoe???? Sneaked in to BBs blog! THEN, didn't do a post on his! OMG,,just don't know what to think!
Supposed to have big rains the next 2 days. HUH!,,I just looked and it's all over to the E, map showing big rains THERE, in places. Austin just had some hail. That's what made me look, to see where we stood. No worries. It is cloudy, cooler.
Guess what i found in my pantry,,,hahahahaha,,,Don't know why i didn't look at it when i went thru the pantry before. It's a box of cake mix,,,expiration date,,,9-00. hahahahaha,,,I don't have very many boxes any more. lololol. And that pancake mix i used today,,,gone! It wasn't out of date, just horrible tasting. YUK,,,I will get to the store today for waffles. (I'm out). Out of milk too. The $store might have those.
I'm still walking, did a little more yesterday, i think. Gonna have to start wearing my monitor. Hope there's not a minimum,,,hahahahaha. Maybe these shoes that rock and roll, are the difference. Can barely stand in them,, make me stagger. lololol. I can just see trying to explain that to a cop! Hey officer, it's my shoes. Bet that's a new one.
Seems my posts are getting shorter all the time. Don't want to quit doing dailys tho. Even if they're short. Just nothing to say. Same ol, Same ol,,, Maybe it'll get better. For all of us that seem to be stuck in a rut.
So,,yall tc,

I Did It!!!
Just before the kids showed up with supper,,kids,,lol,,, i somehow did something,,that saved all the 2011 blogs to documents, then i put them on a flash drive! It looked like it had just saved a little over a month of them, but,,,you can clic on the links and go to ALL of them. Comments too! I think it took all of 2 seconds. I showed the kids, so they would know that little fd had like,,my journal for the whole year. This beats a book, and those little fds don't cost much now.
BB, got your email this morning, after the fact, but TYTYTY. I can't believe how much help i get with things on these blogs. Another thing was using metallic blinds on my new metal door. I had never heard of them, and seems no one else i know here, had either. Even the men that put them on. I looked and even Walmart had metallic curtain rods, etc,,,too. And another thing,,BB,,my son loved your ideas for that gate!!! hahahaha,,Even mine, putting glue in that lock. lololol...Think he might have done just that,,,later. He was sure laughing about it.
I sure hated to read DDs blog today. But i know how he feels, these take a lot of time. (Which i have, but others might not). And i type FAST...lololol. My boss bought a throw away ribbon for MY typewriter one time,,you got to the end, threw it away,,WELLL,,I hated that thing, chewed him out for messing with MY typewriter. I would be right in the middle of something and have to change that **^^%!#^# ribbon. Also, i could type faster than it could move. So a lot of letters hit blank spots. I never let the word,,boss,,,mean anything to me. You ASKED me to do something,,,NEVER ordered!!,,Better even say,,,"pretty please",,,hahahahaha,,,not really.
My son and gf stayed til after 9;30 last nite, and by the time i got to bed, i couldn't go to sleep again. So i'm double tired today. Doesn't matter, i'll nap later. Nothing going on today,,,lolol,,like there ever is,,Well, sometimes i guess. After they left, i turned the tv on, and the game was over, but then the post game came on, so i gave up on watching Idol,,,Haven't figured out WHY it was on that late, and on Sun,,,anyway. Couldn't record it, didn't know the times. I can watch it on this,,later. Have to do that sometimes when i miss a show i wanted to see. OMG,,Steven Tyler sang for it! lmaoooo. Saw that on the Today show this morning.
OK,,yall,,,tc, and
