Monday Meanderings - Oct 25

Uhhh... we may have a problem here. Accompanying a news article about the increase in bank robberies in Texas was a photo.  A photo that one might think looks familiar.


This is a photo of the "I-35 Bandit" (courtesy of the FBI, no less). If you think it looks like someone you know, IT'S JUST A COINCIDENCE!  But I may have Barb do all the banking for a while, just in case.

The tomato plants played out a few weeks ago. They quit setting fruit and got really scraggly, so Barb set the containers aside and we quit watering them. You know where this is going, don't you? Yep. Six tomatoes coming on strong. Same thing with the pot of chrysanthemums that we thought got killed in the cold of winter.  Maybe we don't have this gardening thing figured out.

Mixed sports bag this weekend; Rangers won, Horns lost, Browns won. We seldom see Browns games in this part of the country but CBS routed the Browns/Saints game to us and it was neat to watch Colt playing like a real NFL quarterback. He did not put up great numbers, but unlike the other QB, he did not hurt his team with mistakes.  Of course, the sports weekend isn't over until we see what miserable errors great plays the Cowboys have in store for us on MNF.

Speaking of the Rangers, one of my children is a true Yankees fan, to the point that he changed his Facebook picture to the Yankee logo during the playoffs (you are going to change that soon, aren't you?). To his credit, he has been loyal his team while catching a lot of grief from his friends on FB. I didn't say anything until the Rangers won, and then it was a modest comment if I do say so myself. He replied, "This coming from someone who cannot name 3 players without a program?" That's not so, I replied.. "I can name 3 players. Of course, they are all Yankees."

And I'll pass along the thought for the day.

So what is the reward for information on this bank robber feller? Just curious...

Naw, he's too short for John.

So you are saying that bank robbing runs in the family? Interesting that when I show this picture the first response is "Is there a reward?"
