I hadn't seen hummingbirds at our house in a few years. They showed up this year right after my wife passed away (last month).
My wife wasn't as delicate as these little birds but she beat her wings just as fast. I love seeing her come back for a visit. This was her today.
I see your profile picture. That’s Johnny Cash. My hero too. Arrested seven times. Smuggled 668 amphetamines across the Mexican border in 1965. Took every drug there was and drank like I did. Cheated on his first wife. Slept with more woman than I ever did. Hit bottom in a cave in Tennessee in 1968 trying to crawl off and die. And then he got up. He got clean. He spent the rest of his life singing for prisoners and addicts and the people the country threw away because he knew he was one of them.
That was the whole point of the Man in Black. He wore it for the poor and the beaten down. He wore it for the prisoner who has long paid for his crime. He wore it for the ones who never heard a word of Jesus. He wore it for the addicted and the dying. He wore it as a standing witness that no one is past saving.
You picked his picture. You did not pick his message. Try listening to the words.
Saturday night, chilling on the bench in my front yard, smoking a new pipe and grooving to KTSU from the speakers in the open hatchback of Frank's Camaro a few doors down.
@CrankItUpCoogs Back in the 90s an old timer that worked at the City of Houston told me that area along Leeland used to be the Italian area of Houston. And then took me to Mandola's Deli. Am I crazy or did there used to be another Italian place right by Mandola's?
That was a loooong time ago.
@mavsmarie I'm more of a papas, frijol y chorizo guy. No eggs. Or an onion and cilantro with barbacoa (gotta get those proportions right). 😂
But everyone knows the MAIN INGREDIENT is the beautiful hand made tortilla.
