Crabbs Prairie, Texas


Bill, Pond, 40 - by Cotton Ginny

We had a great weekend at Crabbs Prairie thanks to the Earthman’s hospitality. Many friends transited through Friday, Saturday, Sunday, Monday. We cooked, we drank, we played.

Virginia has some photos, and so do I.

And fyi, the convenient store is open there from 5am - 7pm, seven days a week.

My friends seem to know me. Amongst the gifts were good tequila, belgian beer, an Albert Einstein action figure, Jägermeister, Tito’s vodka, and a variety of minutia.

Jamming on guitars on the porch all night and drinking Lone Star was all that was desired of them, and I got that too.

And for everyone who couldn’t make it, we missed you.

Bye Rove

Bush RoveFrom the chron, David Corn:

But leaving is too good for Rove. He was Bush’s partner in the Iraq war, yet he [is] abandoning ship before the fight is done. Rove has argued that the Iraq war is essential for the survival of the United States. So how can he walk away with the war not won?

It is a mixed emotion to see Rove leave the White House. I certainly would have preferred it to happen years ago, and perhaps hanging from the gallows (or perhaps his own office ceiling, like a Chinese business man).

Just because he’s gone, doesn’t mean we can’t indict him for something.
