    Good morning Tex, and “thank you”.

    Yesterday I had to leave so quickly that I nearly spilled my coffee.

    Better to have a complete breakfast to be fortified for the day.

      We had some family visiting a few weeks ago and we took them down to visit The Alamo. They now have guided tours and we partook. A lot more information and context that you don’t get from the movies. Very interesting and informative.

      Davy Crockett and the Geopolitics of the Alamo

      The Texans’ sacrifice at the Alamo and their improbable victory at San Jacinto still define our world in ways few understand.

      ROD D. MARTIN – MAR 06, 2026

      Patrick Wilson as William Barret Travis, Billy Bob Thornton as Davy Crockett, and Jason Patric as Jim Bowie, in John Lee Hancock’s outstanding The Alamo (2004).

      Moderns appreciate little of the importance of this.  Some (outside Texas at least) see the Alamo as a minor incident at most. Many today view the Texas Revolution as an Anglo brutalization of a victimized Mexico. They ignore, willfully or otherwise, the multilingual, multi-ethnic nature of the affair, the many prominent Mexican statesmen who, loyal to the principles of their lost republic, took up arms in favor of the Revolution: men such as Erasmo Seguin and his friend Lorenzo de Zavala, the first Vice President of Texas, who was born in Yucatan and had previously served as Mexico’s Minister of Finance.

      The revisionists also ignore the widespread opposition throughout Mexico to Santa Anna’s dictatorship and scrapping of the 1824 Constitution. In addition to Texas, both Yucatan and the Mexican states immediately across the Rio Grande from Texas formed republics and seceded from Mexico, albeit unsuccessfully.

    Good morning WeeWeed and Czarina.

    Here’s to small business, whose owner’s give a bit more in in quality and service in order to compete with the big chain stores.

    Wee, I’ve never seen a snake with dentures before!

    This sounds like a joke, but it is apparently true.

    Good Afternoon All. It is almost 60* and sunny here. Actually pretty shocking weather for this time of year. At least, to me.

    Hope you all enjoy your day.
