Regenerative Grazing
Our local monthly paper has been featuring a series of articles on regenerative agriculture. I was asked to write one of the articles. It appears below the fold. It features one of the farms we frequent. As a bonus I've added an interview with Thomas Massey about his cattle operation and pending legislation. We're on the road today, so I'll see you later in the week.
Album of the Week 11-1-25
Submitted by joe shikspack on Sat, 11/01/2025 - 3:00pmAfternoon folks!
This week there's a bunch of recordings from the American Folk Blues Festivals from 1963 through 1967, there are a lot of outstanding performances from some of the best blues musicians of the time. Check it out! Finishing off in the diversity department is an album from Dread Zeppelin of their best material, who knew that Led Zeppelin would sound so good as a reggae band fronted by an Elvis impersonator?
Enjoy the tunes and have a great weekend!
Saturday OT - 11/1/25: Odds an Ends
Submitted by on the cusp on Sat, 11/01/2025 - 7:00amGood morning, good people! Don't know about you guys, but I got to sit in comfort this week, watch deer graze, spot a big raccoon eating something or other in the pasture, and made progress in making a friend out of the feral cat that hangs around the yard and barn.
I got in an hour of mandatory legal ed regarding legislative updates on criminal law. Well, our Texas legislative branch is curtailing the judicial branch for the second or third year. A war. This is similar to what is happening at the federal level. No balance of power for us!
Balance is good. Just take a look:
Friday Night Photos Vegas Vacation Edition
Submitted by Socialprogressive on Fri, 10/31/2025 - 5:00pmHappy Friday everyone. Welcome to Friday Night Photos your once a week escape from the day to day insanity of the world we live in. Post any photos, memes, music or whatever else you find of interest that helps tune out the madness.
First off, thank you, Janis for hosting last Friday while I was out of town and safe travels on your visit with family.
I'm not a big fan of Las Vegas, but I have a niece who lives there and she got married last Saturday so I bit the bullet and made the trek there for the wedding. Previous to last weekend, I'd been to Vegas three times and had bad luck there all three times, and I don't even gamble. Fourth time was a charm. I finally had a good time there on this trip.
After dinner Thursday evening, my sister, brother, SIL and I took a walk along the strip and also checked out the fall display inside the Bellagio hotel.
