Texas 101: Kolaches are not sausage stuffed pastries, those are klobasneks. Kolaches are fruit or cheese filled pastries.

Woke up early. There was no worm.

Slipped on a pumpkin today. It caught me off gourd. #HappyThanksgiving

I heard there was a secret cord
That David made and displeased the Lord,
But you don't really care for safety, do ya?

Well it goes like this, a plug, a switch
A circuit breaker open-hitched
The socket catching fire, hallelujah.

Love the part of the anti depressant commercial where the handsome guy stares at me and tells me there’s a chance my bones disintegrate and my brains liquify and then the guy throws the frisbee for his dog

I bet pathology conferences have competitions for finding things on a slide. Like first person who finds a Howell-Jolly body wins and when somebody finds it the whole auditorium cheers, but then the referee comes in and is like no thats a Pappenheimer body & they get disqualified

Well I had a buddy back in ‘81
And we made ourselves a pact
We were headed for the new pipeline
We weren’t never coming back
We worked 80 hrs making time and a 1/2
But La Grange was too damn hot
We drove home at the end of that week
And we spent it all on pot

As a kid, I felt a strange sense of comfort and assurance by Eddy Raven’s “I’ve Got Mexico” because I thought, “Hell, I can always move to Mexico if shit in life goes completely south—eating right and living good down in Mexico.”

@GregAbbott_TX What have you done to make sure we don’t have another Uvalde? That’s what I worry about as a parent of small kids. Whatever curriculum is in school now is the product of ~30 years of republican oversight and policy.

[Texas Parks & Wildlife @TPWDnews]

BREAKING Texas Parks and Wildlife Commission authorized TPWD to file a petition for condemnation and pursue acquisition at fair market value of approx. 5,000 acres to preserve Fairfield Lake State Park and Fairfield Lake for public use.

Y'all, I had a whole passel of stuff ready for my Twitter feed today but, after the events in Allen yesterday, I just don't have the heart to post any of it. That these mass casualty events keep happening in my beloved Texas ---- a place of such enormous possibility, a place that I love with my whole, aching heart ---- is almost more than I can bear. I'm not sure if I'll be back tomorrow. I need some time for reflection and healing. I think I'll just go fishing.

@TheJackalopeTX It’s not bad, take some getting used to, but it’s pretty good
