My brother ran for state senate in the late 80's. One Saturday my college aged nephew and myself were chosen to walk one of the really bad low income neighborhoods and knock on doors for him. The neighborhood is called the river flats.

The black people living there were very friendly and wanted to talk. The white people yelled at us, run us off, and even sicked their dogs on us.

We were smart enough to change clothes and NOT wear suits.

You are correct, David. Stupidity is color blind.

Wow, Amarillo may get 2 feet of white crap on Monday! I feel sorry for anyone traveling on I-40 in west Oklahoma, and through the Texas panhandle into New Mexico.
We might get the edge of the storm. Hopefully it will not get past Sid's parents house

Good um Friday? morning!

I may come in for a 1/2 a day tomorrow just to miss laundry day at home. I have a decent size job on the scanner to finish up and another batch of obliques. The napping couch is comfortable....

Jeff-that is some tasty looking meat but why do use a flat top on the grill?

No real plans today but for a kid doctor appointment this afternoon. Wifey had to go to her office for a few hours.

It's going to be close to 60 today so I may fire up the grill for supper.

My Friday also, but all the engineers now realize that I won't be here for the next 11 days, and all of a sudden have all thier projects in jeopardy of not getting done by the end of the year. I will probably be staying late tonight to finish everything.

I so wanted to say "Bad planning on your part, does not constitute an emergency on my part" !
