The McLaughlin Road, to be precise, south of Miami, Texas, north of Laketon in Gray County.
You Are a Chocolate Shake |
 You are a total hedonist. You are drawn to pleasure. You are an expressive, over the top person. You're naturally dramatic. You're the type of person who always chooses quality over quantity. Life's too short to not have optimal experiences. You're proud of being picky. |
From the June 14, 2008 "Burnin' the Bricks" car show in Pampa:
This was one of my favorites.
"A Little Bull" probably should've been the title of this blog, huh?
One of the heirs-in-waiting to the herd.

Poor cattle; the mosquitoes were thick due to the recent heavy rains and no amount of tail swishing, ear-flicking and skin-rippling was going to keep them off for long.
Wasn't a lot on this little guy and while they landed on me, they didn't bite.
I guess the both of us were just too sweet for the skeeters.
South of Miami, Texas.
'Vette Row. As you can see, several had already left by the time we got there.

What Your Pizza Reveals |
 Your appetite is pretty average. You don't go overboard - but you don't deprive yourself either. You are a very picky pizza eater. Not any pizza will do. You fit in best in the Northeast part of the US. You like food that's traditional and well crafted. You aren't impressed with "gourmet" foods. You are generous, outgoing, and considerate with your choices. You are cultured and intellectual. You should consider traveling to Vienna. The stereotype that best fits you is redneck. Your friends secretly agree. |
The last time I checked, I thought it might've been "Junior High".
The end is near, folks.

A cool hood ornament and the reflection of a very bad photographer.
After he has a couple more martinis, he won't be afraid to turn around.
I never cared much for the taste of alcohol, but always enjoyed the way it made me extremely clever and oh-so-much better looking.

Potter County sheriff convicted in public corruption case
(I'm not going to copy and paste the entire AP news story. I don't want to have to room with Shumate)
Mike Shumate, Potter Co. sheriff, has been convicted of taking bribes in regards to a food service contract for the county jail.
Shumate first gained attention as the man in the Amarillo Crimestoppers TV ads, urging people to call in and report any information they have on crimes. Each segment aired during the ten o'clock news and reported on a recent crime, almost always ending with a shot of a jail door slamming shut and the warning by Shumate that "Bubba was waiting for you.", "Bubba" being a generic term for some badass inmate who would be the wrongdoer's roomie in prison.
Not that I was doing anything to be sent to prison over, but it always made ME want to keep my nose clean and stay outta jail.
It would be bad enough to have to go to prison, but how bad is it for former law enforcement people convicted of felonies and sentenced? *shudder*

What the House Test Says About You |
 You are happy with who you are, and you don't have an inflated sense of self importance. You do your own thing quietly. You don't take up a lot of space. You can't stand community oriented people and annoying "buy local" campaigns. You prefer to live the best life possible, and that doesn't really involve many other people. You are a calm, contemplative, and smart person. You take ideas very seriously. You look good in a low maintenance sort of way. You do the minimum required to be attractive. You are moved by the most simple of things. You can find pleasure from a small, perfect moment. |
From the Word of the Day feed in the right-hand column:
dilatory \DIL-uh-tor-ee\, adjective:1. Tending to put off what ought to be done at once; given to procrastination.2. Marked by procrastination or delay; intended to cause delay; -- said of actions or measures.
Dilatory is from Latin dilatorius, from dilator, "a dilatory person, a loiterer," from dilatus, past participle of differre, "to delay, to put off," from dis-, "apart, in different directions" + ferre, "to carry."
And to think I almost waited until tomorrow to put this in.
That's what a bunch of recent emails have told me, anyway. They all call me by name, so I was afraid the truth had gone out just how stupid I really look.
I've been getting them via my mikeintexas Gmail acct.; spoofed headers, etc. but they all say the same thing and link to an .exe file.
Doing some research about it, I've found out I'm not the only one who has a stupid face. (Whew!) Misery (and stupid) loves company.
From the website:
If “video.exe” is downloaded and executed, it will install the Srizbi bot, and effectively turn the computer into a spam machine capable of sending up to 25,000 spam messages per hour.
I'd hate that; my Gmail acct. receives something like 25,000 spam messages per hour and I don't think I would want to send that many.
Actually, I don't think my face is stupid; I mean, it looks like it's done wore out three or four bodies, but....
No, what's stupid was me not obsfucating my email address in this blog.
DOH!

I really sucked at this; there's a typing sort of test, but mine wouldn't work, so I got a zero for that portion.
I'm 100% flesh & blood, except for my head...that's made of wood.
Looks as though Picassa is having problems again. I've not been able to upload any photos today.
Most of my posts for the last several days, esp. the car show pics, are from the post-dating feature Blogger has provided us. That's a really nifty feature of these things.
