If I had not heard people worrying where it was, I would not have thought to come over here and check.

Re: It looks like Jeb Bush is going to run.

I am not going to say never until I know who the final choices are for the next four years of my life.

I regularly vote for caniddates who were not my first choice when it all started.

Re: Dodge Commercial

Have you seen th Dodge commercial about the competitive Dodge Brothers beginning with their first vehicle intro in 1914. Pretty good. Especially for a commercial. More especially for a car commercial.. That one's good, but my favorite is the guy who has his office in the garage, and painted a big c...

Re: Hitchhikers

Back before cell phones if I saw a car broke down and then somebody walking I would pick them up. These days you don't see many cars on the side of the road (until around Christmas) and most people have cell phones and call for help and stay with the car. Most of those went OK that I picked up. A c...

Re: Leading from behind

Carter's high No Opinion rate probably has to with the fact many ask were not born when he was in office.

My favorable Opinion of Clinton is a lot higher than my opinion of Obama.

Re: Do you still help support your grown children?

I would say a lot of my friends are subsidizing their adult children on a monthly basis. I know it because they talk (complain) about it, but never stop it. In some cases its just a couple hundred a month in cell phone bills, others are a lot more. One couple, the wife inherited her parents house a...

Re: A Txdigest poll: End Saturday mail delivery?

My plan for the post office would be to operate six days a week, but only deliver to the addresses every other day. You would either get Mon, Wed, Fri or Tues, Thurs, Sat service. End Monday holidays and only close down for Thanksgiving, Christmas days. Worked holidays would just be an additional d...

Re: Goodbye to the landline?

I correct my first statement to say that new subdivisions with time warner type cable are probably all fiber for TV, Internet and Phone. Yet most likely the phone and cable wire in the house have copper.

Re: Goodbye to the landline?

And for what ever reason Verizon considers my phone as being "copper". I've been told by Verizon if I move to a "internet" connection some fees would be dropped from my bill. At some point FIOS or UVERSE runs on copper in the neighborhoods it serves, so no phoneline is completel...

Re: A Txdigest poll: Should ATVs be allowed on public roads?

They are allowed out here on county roads and FM roads but not state highways. My understanding is only farm machinery* is allowed on those roads under state law. Counties and local law enforcement can choose not to ticket those who ride the roads in their county. In Navarro County I know people ha...

Re: What is the creepiest thing that's ever happened to you?

The most recent thing to happen to me was this week. I stayed in a motel on the Air Force Base in San Anthonio. The bathroom in the room I stayed in had a deadbolt on it. The keyed side on the inside and the thumb turn on the outside. In other words someone could have locked me in the bathroom. I w...
