Slim Randles is back as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with another story from the guys down at the Mule Barn Truck Stop. Grab your drink of choice and a sweet roll and enjoy… “You’re awfully quiet this morning, Steve,” Dud said to his buddy, the cowboy with the haystack mustache. “No sleep,” Steve mumbled, his chin […]

What’s trending in the news this week is pretty disgusting, so full of hatred with folks spewing venom like lava from Mt. St. Helen. This from a pastor in Arizona about Caitlyn Jenner, “Listen to me, I hate him with a perfect hatred. I have no love for this Bruce freak. I hope he dies

Please welcome Anna Castle as today’s Wednesday’s Guest. She is sharing an interesting piece on some of the unusual names of Texas cities and sites. She writes two mystery series and last Sunday I reviewed Death By Disputation, one of the titles in her Frances Bacon series. Today I am over at The Blood-Red Pencil

According to a couple of articles I read in The Dallas Morning News this week, we have been approaching the problem of obesity the wrong way, especially here in the U.S. The dramatic rise in obesity and type 2 diabetes in children and adults has most recently been tied to our sedentary lifestyle.

My friend Slim Randles is back as today’s Wednesday’s Guest with another of Delbert’s harebrained, er, novel ideas. A good festival can bring folks to town, but this idea touches on the absurd. You can catch me over at Kathleen Kaska’s wonderful blog, Birds and Books, where we are sharing our admiration for Ed McBain’s

One of the things I didn’t miss on my vacation was the nightly news. Through social media and tidbits of news during breakfast at the motels, I did know about the tragedy in Nepal and other items of importance, but I didn’t have to listen to the nightly news reporters and anchors giving their spin

Once again Slim Randles is here as today’s Wednesday’s Guest, with a little horse-training tip from Steve. I’ve never heard it called “boogering” a horse before, but I’ve had to get my horse, Banjo, accustomed to noises and fast movements. One does not want a horse to shy when you least expect it. That’s how
