Texas Code 839, I (d) , 10, (T) says that if you live in the Permian Basin
you must drill one (1) well at least five thousand feet (5,000 feet) per quarter acre per year. Failure to comply will result in being forced to drink a 12 pack of Texas Pride Beer per day until you are in compliance.

It took some digging, but I i found that per 836 d (4) sec. 8, paragraph 7 g the statute is only applicable if your primary residence is on or west of the ridge line of the Coast Ranges.

Did you miss Mr. Tacky-Cool asking, "What are you going to do when the world ends?" Just a demonstration.

Seasoned Snack Crackers, aka Firecrackers
2 or 3 sleeves Saltine Crackers. Or more, up to maybe 6. I find that even with 4 sleeves there isa modest amount of Oil left in the bag. Or a whole big heap of Oyster Crackers.
About ½ to ¾ cups Vegetable Oil*
Seasoning:
Here it's up to you. A packet each of Ranch Dressing Mix and Italian Seasoning Mix along with some Red Pepper Flakes if you want it spicy.
Or Salt, Pepper, Garlic Powder, Dried Dill, Dried Parsley, and Dried Oregano. Go heavy on the herbs and light on the Salt.
Go with what you like.
*You can use Olive Oil or a combination of melted Butter and Oil. If you use a combination, limit the butter to no more than about a quarter of the total amount.
Put the Saltines in a large container with a tight fitted lid or a large freezer bag. I like the bag.
Mix the Oil and Seasoning. Pour Seasoned Oil over the Saltines as evenly as possible. If using a lidded container, for the first 30 minutes or so flip it about every 5 minutes. Then every hour or so.
If using a bag, kind of gently massage them around and make the bag as flat as possible. Turn over about every 15 minutes or so for a few hours.
Now, here's the odd thing….you can let this sit for about 12 hours, the Oil will be absorbed, and they will be crisp and only slightly oily. Or after a couple of hours, lay them out on sheet trays and bake in a slow oven, 250°F to 275°F for 20 minutes. You can flip after 10 minutes, but it's not 100% necessary. This adds a nutty, toasty taste and texture, and makes them a little less oily.
Either way, a very easy and inexpensive savory snack.

From a couple of years ago.
https://www.livescience.com/dinosaur-shrimp-emerge-arizonaThese tadpole-size creatures, called Triops "look like little mini-horseshoe crabs with three eyes," Lauren Carter, lead interpretation ranger at Wupatki National Monument, told Live Science. Their eggs can lie dormant for decades in the desert until enough rainfall falls to create lakes that provide real estate and time for the hatchlings to mature and lay eggs for the next generation, according to Central Michigan University.

We have LOTS of 12.5 ounce cans of chicken breast from the Food Bank. I played around with making Chicken Cakes. First I read a bunch of receipts online. Thought of what I have on hand, and cobbled this together. Turned out pretty good.
Chicken Cakes
2 cups shredded chicken or canned chicken
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1/2 cup parmesan cheese or Cheddar cheese or Mozzarella cheese
2 large eggs
1/2 cup breadcrumbs
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon pepper
1 teaspoon Italian seasoning
2 tablespoons oil to fry
Mix well, scoop with a #16 disher or quarter cup measure, form into patties.
Heat about a quarter inch of oil in a skillet over medium heat. Place patties in hot oil (I just used a disher and flattened them in the pan) and fry until golden brown, flip over, cook second side to golden brown. Remove and drain on paper towels placed on a rack.
As usual I sort of eyeballed the amounts. I used 2 cans, which is closer to 3 cups. Used green can Parm. I had thought about using some minced onion and celery, but it really didn't need it.
I might try some fresh dill in it next time.-

Rapatronic Photographs
in SASS Wire Saloon

Nuclear explosions look like this right after detonation.
It’s one of the most haunting images of the nuclear age – a fireball frozen in time during the 1952 Tumbler-Snapper test series in Nevada.
The image was taken using a rapatronic camera, developed by MIT engineer Harold Edgerton and his team at EG&G. These cameras used a magneto-optic shutter to achieve exposure times as short as 10 nanoseconds – one hundred-millionth of a second. Because each camera could capture only a single frame, multiple units were arranged around the test site to record the explosion in sequence, frame by frame.
This particular image reveals a rare effect known as the “rope trick” – glowing spikes of plasma shooting downward as the fireball vaporizes the guy wires tethering the test tower. Far from a photographic glitch, this phenomenon offered crucial insights. Physicist John Malik studied it to better understand how different materials behaved under extreme heat and radiation.
Captured in an era when nuclear weapons were still tested in open air, these images reflect both the scale of human ambition and the precision of the science behind it. Rapatronic photographs remain some of the most extraordinary high-speed images ever made – stark reminders of a world transformed by the atom.
