A 'pretty good' day

I spent the afternoon with Buddy Wilkinson, a Texas adjuster, in his 'tryler', outside of Baton Rouge. He had scoped 4 claims in the morning, and I met w/him as he uploaded his pictures, did his estimates, and filled out all the necessary 'stuff' to complete a file. When Buddy isn't a storm adjuster, he runs a 'hunt for hire' ranch, where clients pay to shoot exotic animals, mostly axis, an Indian deer I had never heard of. Looked like a beautiful spread, although I have a problem shooting caged game, but he does have over 8 sq miles, which does make it somewhat of a hunt. Good news is, that there is a whole lot less printing than before. Bad news (not really that bad) is that it will take a while to learn all the ins and outs of a new system, BUT, when I do, I think I'm really gonna like it. Last I saw, Ike was headed toward the Corpus/Galveston area, which wouldn't generate that many claims, unlike, say, Houston. Whatever, am still on paid standby, so continue to standby. I'm good at that...

My daughter lives near Austin and it looks as though Ike is going to head straight through Texas, up into Oklahoma, my birth state. That's wide open flat country and prone to flooding with that clay soil, the farther north you go. Was stationed at Ft. Hood back in the 60's. I'm sure much has changed since then, however lots of creeks and rivers. Folks are in for a wild ride. Cara lives in Salado, Tx. She's my daughter. Her father lives in Harker Heights. Uncanny, that your daughter is named Kari and mine is Cara, eh?

Because I'm sorta stuck in an Anti-Bush rant.. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=D99NHb6B03s Can you imagine all those rapper stars with these things? Of course, they'd have to have theirs with 'da bling! Can't be standard, gawd no! And of course, Britney's gotta have one in her car. Paris with her pooch totin' one on the red carpet at some fete. The boys in 'da hood will have a field day on their daily drive bys. P Diddy will wear his on a chain around his neck. You suppose there will be special pockets made in jeans for these things? Trailer trash folks will have 'em camouflaged. Jeff Foxworthy will have to come up with some fresh Redneck stuff. Think George W. will get one, each for the twins? Don't forget Dickie boy for those spur of the moment huntin' trips. Of course Ma Babs will have hers with pearls. Think it will affect the Royals? I can imagine Charles and Camilia on their fox hunt...........ah yes, and Prince Philip, too, must include the...

You think the Repub brand is tarnished now?

Just wait 'til Bonehead leads us all over the cliff, to save his 2% buddies having to pay a little higher tax. The Pubs keep thinking the American public is stupid, and they can get away with their phony political crap. They keep forgetting we're not all a bunch of FOXNews sheep, who'll swallow whatever swill is shoveled to them. A once proud party, like a beast in it's death throes, striking out to harm whatever's close, threatening to shut the gov't down, (again), over the debt limit, which is just paying the bills they already ran up. Political hacks, pretending to be patriots. So sad...

Great 'bargains' at the local Sprouts store

where we picked up asparagus and baby back ribs. Carol and I went for the same stuff (serarately, today), cuz it is so good, AND a great price. Had it for dinner tonight. WOW. One of my fav dinners, as the ribs start out in the crock pot, then finish on the grill, with fresh asparagus. (and bread pudding for dessert) I LOVE this time of year...
