Yesterday, I canceled my Facebook account. There seemed to be so many steps, but I hung in and completed the process. Minutes later, an email arrived, "In 30 days, your account will be cancelled." 30 days?! What? Why not right away? Pure evil.

Met a guy at a brewery today. He launched into tirade against vaccines by stating that in 1960 people had 0.5% chance of getting polio. I asked, why do you think that is? Vaccines? He said, maybe but why keep taking them? Hmmm... maybe to keep polio away? He said, that's interesting. No shit.

Want to get rid of unions? Treat your employees better.

If you have Netflix, check out Number 24. Great movie about real Norwegians fighting back in WW2.

In 1966 when I was 9 yrs old, my school was integrated. I will be damned if I will turn my back and allow Greg A-butt to segregate our Texas schools again. Vote NO on vouchers, aka skool choice

The EEOC wasn't started for no reason. It was started because employers couldn't be trusted to treat their employees well. OSHA wasn't started for no reason. It was started because employers couldn't be trusted to care about your health. Read a history book.

I hired people under "diversity" focus. I NEVER hired anyone who was incompetent. NEVER. I hired many diverse, competent people. If I didn't hire you, it was because you were not the best candidate. I didn't care who your daddy was, not hiring incompetence.

My friends in Dallas are melting down, and all I can say is Go Rockets!

If Colombia truly wants to hit back at Trump, they should stop the sale of cocaine for one week. Washington would grind to a halt.

Beautiful, mild, sunny day in the Texas Hill County. Happy beer day!

we used to be a proper country

Per The ESPN Stats and Info gang, the Texans are the first team to out-gain their opponent by 100+ yards (336-212), not turn the ball over, and lose a postseason game. Previous such teams were 49-0 in the playoffs.

Remember when you could rent a movie and return it? Instead of paying for a streaming service, that then lets you rent a movie?

None know the shadows better than those who live under rocks.

I cannot sanction your buffoonery.

Never forget that in 1978, President Carter signed into law HR 1377, making home brewing legal. #cheers

When my daughter passed away on Christmas Eve, I turned to music for solace. This song by Susan Tedeschi and Derek Trucks brought a smile to my face. I love the thought of Jill smiling at me and laughing at us for thinking too much. youtu.be/pZqDPPB8dqg?...

My daughter died on Christmas Eve, and today is the first somewhat normal day I've had. No arrangements to be made, no family drama, just listening to music and watching UT try to lose a football game. It's still surreal. I can't imagine not hearing her laugh ever again.

Dogs know when we are hurting. We don't deserve them.

My lovely, caring daughter was taken from me today. It isn't natural for parents to see their children die. She was so full of love. 20 yrs of teaching Special Ed. She fiercely loved all her "kids".

I finished a great year earning my Texas Master Naturalist certification. 36 Classroom hrs 150 Volunteer hrs 28 Advanced training hrs The Lindheimer chapter in New Braunfels is a really great organization, and volunteering at The Headwaters of the Comal was very fulfilling and educational.

In my lifetime, I have seen: Segregated schools and bathrooms Integration of same US President assassinated US Civil Rights leaders (2) assassinated Presidential candidate assassinated President impeached and resigned All before, I was voting age. But yes, things are a mess now. Truly.

Airports allow people to be who they want to be every day. What drink should I have at 7 a.m.?

Early morning beer at the airport. On the way to Nashville for the Allman-Betts Family Revival at the Ryman.

Ewers era has to be over

The Longhorn defense deserves better than Ewers. It's time.

BBA Pumpkinator by Saint Arnold on the patio representing Brewery Ommegang and Duvel on a rainy, cold day. Life is good!
