   a Montague native , Karen Kilcrease Dow , is in dire need of our prayers offered on her behalf resulting from an unfortunate accident involving the family car…

   second and third information indicates she was struck , possibly ran over , or pinned to the garage wall or floor by an unoccupied car that was supposed to be in park position….details are sketchy….

  our heart-felt prayers can positively change the direction of this tragic accident…God is good !

   may i dare say… God is good !

rah rah risky… pass the whiskey !

 i was under the incorrect assumption that ed was returning to the capital city of Montague today… instead he called at noon from his twentieth floor hotel room , where he was combing his hair (smooth-mouthed comb ) in preparation for the big football game…

  prosperous pete , aside from the mississippi penthouse , owns a mid-field sky-box at the saint’s stadium…  ed’s headed to the hospitality room of peba oil and gas , to timidly… reluctantly.. soak up more of pete’s north-field prarie-valley perks….

  i asked ed who are the saint’s playing ?… who cares ! was his quick answer… obviously he’s heavy vested in professional football and the intricate strategy of defense ……. free booze , extravagant cuisine , and timber-line accommodations are secondary to this football fanatic !….. not ! ….he’s playing first-string offense in the super-bowl of moocher’s….M.V.P.

  ed’s perched high in the very stadium where victim’s of hurricane Katrina once huddled in uncertainty as their ravaged town came unraveled… now as the game is being played out , another storm , hurricane Ida gains momentum in the gulf ,  as it closes ranks on the mouth of the Mississippi River…..

granny’s soldier

   the marines have landed… won the hearts and minds of the montague malitia.. and departed for his permanant duty station in Japan… two years will pass before he returns to the lone-star state…and montague ..

    pretty handsome lad if i say so myself……….sole second generation heir to the carter name…Prince Justin.. a proud American warrior !

 his weapon of choice is Psalm 91:2 …I will say of the Lord , ” He is my refuge and my fortress ; My God , in Him I will trust “

luck aint no lady !

  ed reportedly lost his shirt last night… shifted into full blown moocher’s status… luckily his old pal prosperous pete has a penthouse overlooking the mighty Mississippi river and a comp-card from Harrah’s , honored at Ruth’s-Chris steakhouse…

  ed’s got room and board , and blue cans covered… all he needs now is pocket change for the pit-boss and a bucket of chips…  lady luck is fickle.. frigid..anti-fenotee …

   he’s watching the door for montague county refugees….potential  victims for a twenty dollar loan…. where’s herkie when the chips are down ?

Semper Fidelis

  i’m anxiously awaiting the arrival and joyous reunion with my military grandson Justin Lee Carter , son of my son David….the only current member of my extended family enlisted in the United States Marines… he’s due at my house tomorrow for a short visit before being deployed to Japan for two years…. he departed home last january , fresh graduate of high school , and returns tomorrow as a proud voluntary soldier in the Marine Corp…hope he’s in dress uniform ! …can’t wait to see how much the skinny kid has grown … how much he’s matured physically , mentally , and spiritually ! …..God is good !

  his coincidental arrival , just two days after the Islamic influenced attack at fort hood , only adds to the deep sense of pride and patriotism demonstrated by our American military force … Justin too is a hero in my mind as are all who voluntarily sacrifice safety for duty in any branch of the American Armed Services… American hero’s one and all !

where’s ed

  i know several habitual readers of the blog , do so only to trace the daily adventures of the whimsical windmill man… he checked in this morning from the municipal air-port in wichita falls , where despite his three a.m. wake-up call at home , like his pal chipper , he arrived fashionably late for his departure flight to d.f.w….

  he and the better half are now placed on stand-by status for his eventual trip to the dallas air-port where he will probably also be late for his scheduled flight to a week-end retreat in new orleans… ( dead weight on the coat tails of prosperous pete )

   all this mayhem attributed to a wrong turn on east-side drive where he ended up in unfamiliar surroundings… his g.p.s. system consist of a seldom read Exxon road-map , factory turn-signals , and inferior judgement…  he should have let betsy drive or at least listened to her logical suggestions and functional relations to north …..

  like matt lauer of the today show… there’s no way to accurately predict where ed is right now , or where he may sleep to night …uncle grumpy remains on rescue stand-by !

uncertain terms

  i pretty much listened in amazement as net-work news agencies and military representatives both assured the american public that the incident at fort hood was not thought to be a terrorist act…. well , pardon my ignorance , but if a depraved muslim with two hand-guns firing into a crowd of unarmed military personnel does not constitute a terrorist act , then what the hell does… if mass execution of innocent unarmed citizens does not rise to the level of terror , perhaps that term is reserved for a muslim launched nuclear bomb … would it have been a terrorist act if he’d had several accomplices ? would it have been a terrorist act if he’d loosed his hatred in the halls of congress ? ….. i’m confident it was utter terror for all the unfortunate victims of this selfish individual who chose to kill fellow soldiers rather than be deployed to iraq or afghanistan where he might be expected to kill fellow muslims….

  how much blood is required to reach the level of terrorism ?  how many gunmen does it take to administer a sanctioned terrorism event…obviously i do not understand the definition of the word … if this was not a terrorist act , then it surely must be called open season on the righteous…..

muslim major…

  today fort hood soldiers and their support groups and families , witnessed first hand the horrific evil capabilities and intent of islamic extremest … they are without question the servants of satin….

  it’s unbelievable , inconceivable to me that an army veteran of multiple tours in the middle east can return to a military base in texas only to be killed while unarmed , by a muslim convert in an american army officer’s uniform…. evil disguised as a soldier…in supposed perfectly safe surroundings…a viper in their midst !

  this guy was a doctor , american citizen , american educated , achieved the rank of major in the american army… yet his islamic roots took center stage in his evil perverted secular mind…

  the brave men or women that died today had taken a sacred oath to protect american soil and citizens , even at the expense of their own lives , yet the american culture has failed to secure our military base from infiltration by islamic extremists… it’s a sad day…

   may the  God of abraham facilitate a speedy recovery to all the wounded soldiers  , a sense of peace and comfort for the bereaved families of our brave fighting men and women …. and an insightful vision in the minds of the american politicians and politically correct citizens….. islam is not now , nor will they ever be , our friends….. believe it !

twelve-gauge utopia

 after two cups of hot java at the longhorn , i stumbled out to greet the morning sunrise… there in the parking lot next to my hot-water six sat the rig of freight-car allen’s baby boy…. an old dodge pick-up tied on to an aluminum boat… all camouflaged up from stem to stern… twelve horse engine with rear seat steerin handle…. half-a-boat load of duck decoys and a big headed yellow lab sitting patiently in the back of the truck…. what a plan !

  lynn’s inside at a settin of eggs and biscuits in the corner booth… taking on nourishment for a full day of unbridled fun…..hopefully he’ll bring a biscuit to that norman rockwell dog , day-dreaming of mallard ducks….. his head won’t fit in a syrup bucket…

     what a thought provoking picture of life in rural montague county…. makes me want to call in sick !

   reminds me of the age-old story of tank dow’s duck hunt…. on an isolated pond out on the boedecker ranch…. tank and oil-can killen slithered on their belly’s through a quarter mile of needle grass to the blind side of the dam , peeked over the dam at a hundred head of unsuspecting ducks… it was total mahem from that point forward… world war two ….the demolition duo blasted half a box of shells through a two row widow-maker , melted both barrels before realization set in…. they were blasting big-O’s plastic decoys left from the day before…… alcohol related mistaken identity ?

sound of silence

  as of eight o’clock last night , this informative blog master has been placed under an executive gag-order by the upper echelon of civil affairs…. not at liberty to say … concerning matters that are unmentionable between two unidentified parties…. the proceedings of anonymous counsel and their unadvertised issues remain a mystery… that’s all i can report at this time… read barbra green’s column for more accurate details… she’s not yet been silenced by the unmentioned powers that be……

   if i had any personal knowledge of the closed door meeting , i could be sentenced to life in prison for sharing that secretive guarded information with the general public ….

   like shultz on hogan’s hero….. i know nooooothing !
