Scattershooting 05-24-15

Scattershooting while wondering whatever happened to the great


Sunday's Summary

My incomplete recap of the week

During a walk this morning it felt very swampy. Saturated earth and sunshine makes for a steamy combination. So for ‪#‎MusicMonday let's have a little swamp-rock by those great purveyors of fish-head music, The Radiators. Here is Dedicated to You -

Nice walk this morning. There are tons of ducklings and goslings at Boys Ranch. There are warning signs at both ends of the Tara trail. Being a brave and fearless adventurer, I ignored the warnings and proceeded. The trail is actually in better shape than it was last week.


Geek stuff but interesting. I have been doing computer stuff since 1968 and the technology leaps are amazing.

Ironic that our Texas Republicans rail against the federal government interfering with states rights yet they see no problem overriding local rights, laws and elections.

The end of an era. Tonight (5/20) is the last episode of Late Show with David Letterman. I have watched Dave since he guest hosted for Johnny Carson and then started Late Night which aired after Johnny. I always watched him over Leno when they were on the air head to head. He was part of my daily viewing. Dave is the last of the late night hosts from The end of an era. Tonight is the last episode of Late Show with David Letterman. I have watched Dave since he guest hosted for Johnny Carson and then started Late Night which aired after Johnny. I always watched him over Leno when they were on the air head to head. He was part of my daily viewing. Dave is the last of the late night hosts from my generation. The new guys, Jimmy, Jimmy, Seth & James, don't do much for me. In fact they are often unwatchable. I'm hoping Stephen Colbert changes that. Thanks Dave for all the laughs. You will be missed.


I thought about it, but decided it seemed a little cramped -

Texas' iconic Waggoner Ranch for sale for $725 million

Good stuff from the Neville Brothers on Letterman.

The last Late Show with David Letterman was pretty damn good. No maudlin tears just the same irreverence we expect from Dave. Here is the whole last show.

This was a pretty damn good final top ten list. The Julia Louis-Dreyfus line is a classic.

Here is an appropriate ‪#‎SongSunday‬ selection for this Memorial Weekend. The Statler Brothers have been retired for over a decade and although this song refers to the Vietnam War it applies to all Veterans. Enjoy More Than A Name On The Wall -

The softball Gators win their super-regional and advance to the College World Series to defend their 2014 national championship.

GO GATORS!
