TexTech Free

First off, my screen name. I am a Texan working in a technical field. I did NOT attend Texas Tech. I went to a real university in Texas. Born and grew up in Houston, then spent about 24 years in Austin, back to Houston, and then in Indiana, first time to live outside of Texas. Back to Austin ten years and now 26 months (as of late August, 2021) in Miami, FL. Work keeps me moving around. I am now on my way to North Carolina. While only living in three states, I have passed through or visited 35-40 of the lower 48 states. I have missed the Big Sky country (Dakotas, Wyoming, Montana) and upper New England states. As should be obvious from my comments, I am a yellow dog Democrat with views on social justice based on the teachings of all the great religious teachers. I love music of most types. Not opera. I can tolerate some C&W. Have heard very little rap I can tolerate. My music is traditional Blues and 60s-70s rock. Also like classical and easy listening.

    I have heard of many people who still love their ex-in-laws even they aren’t too wild about their offspring they divorced.

    True, The Da Vinci Code is fiction. But my folks were in the Holy Land years ago and their guide was a Messianic Jew (one who had accepted Jesus as the Messiah). He said no one in Biblical times would have called an unmarried man Rabbi. It was part of what was expected of a Rabbi. Therefore, it seems there is a pretty good chance Jesus was married even if the (male) writers of the Gospels chose not to write about it.

    And most of them (at least in the US) call themselves Christian. I suspect that when they get to their final reward (if there be such) there wil be a lot of ‘splainin’ to do.

    Considering my net worth, if they tried to fine me they would owe me money.

    And if not immediately, probably after her second reprimand by the 11th Circuit Court.

    Yeah, Trump shutting up for 24 hours would be a huge community service!

    I had a supervisor once who held onto one sticky note as it was the only written instructions she had ever received from her boss. Everything else was vebal. Convenient for plausible deniability.

    I was expecting the punch line to be something about whether anyone had seen the ball lately.

    I was under the impression that the current factory coatings are sufficient. I lived in Indinapolis where they use plenty of salt. When my car was totalled by a hail storm, the dealer said nothing about undercoating for the new car and I had no problems the remaining eight years I lived in Indiana. Then drove it another ten years in Texas until it was totalled by some idiot accellerating into my trunk.
