The Texas Quote of the day comes from M.E. Bell, who was roughly 16 years old when he went to work for the iconic rancher Charles Goodnight on Goodnight's J.A. Ranch in the early 1880s:"I shall never forget the day I asked Colonel Goodnight for a job. He was in the office working on his books at the time I applied for a job. I walked into the office, but he did not look up. I spoke to him and told him that I wanted a job. He turned around in his chair and looked at me for a good bit before he said a word. I felt like he was staring a hole right through me. The first thing he said to me was, 'Well, son, you are rather small, do you think you can do a man's work?' I told him I believed I could. He then said, 'I don't believe I can afford to give you as much as I am giving the other boys.' I told him that was all right, what I wanted was a job. And it was the truth, too: I was just a kid, a long way from home, jobs were scarce, winter was coming on, and I wanted some place to stay during the winter months.He gave me a job all right. He had a grub patch near headquarters which he kept to try new hands to see if they really wanted to work. he put me to work on this grub patch. It was rather heavy work for me, but I worked like the dickens for three days on this job; then he put me on a horse. He gave me the same salary the other boys got, too."----- Mitchell Edward Bell, as quoted by Harley True Burton in "A History of the J.A. Ranch IV," Southwestern Historical Quarterly, Vol. 32, No. 1, July, 1928. M.E. Bell worked for five years on the JA Ranch and later became owner of a substantial ranch 26 miles south of Clarendon. He fathered five sons, all of whom became ranchers and cattlemen. M.E. Bell was born in Mississippi in 1864 and died in Amarillo in 1958. He was 93 years old. Mr. Bell was buried in the Citizens Cemetery in Clarendon, Texas. Shown in this photo is the main house/headquarters of the JA Ranch. I would imagine this looked quite appealing to a skinny 16-year-old kid looking for a place to stay out of the cold!

Turn the sound down.
Watch their eyes. It's why you don't mess with the old parts

Now, why would a good Irish girl be telling jokes like that?

I see SCOTUS not taking this case. And if SCOTUS does, and overturns the MD ban, CA, MD, NY, et al. will continue to ignore the Court.

Yep. Look at how many failures NASA had early on. And still does.

""We know this would have been a very distressing situation," a statement read."
I didn't know that AustralAustralians did British understatement.
"Distressing, " indeed.

Rapid fire like that makes it sound mych more complicated than it really is. Just like some receipts that seem to be really complex at first glance are fairly simple once you read them through and think about them for a minute.

Never heard of it ? Joe you’ve led a sheltered life!😂😜
OK, maybe I had heard of, but forgotten about along with the other "197 Things Flashing Headlights Mean."
The only things I use Flashing Headlights for are letting a trucker know he's clear to change lanes, or to tell an oncoming vehicle his brights are on.

Never did it. Never even heard of it. Someone oncoming flashes their lights? If it's daytime, I check to see if my lights are on. At night I check if my brights are on.
Why Nevada?
