LINES OF THE DAY

". . . But the past does not exist independently from the present. Indeed, the past is only past because there is a present, just as I can point to something over there only because I am here. But nothing is inherently over there or here. In that sense, the past has no content. The past -- or more accurately, pastness -- is a position. Thus, in no way can we identify the past as past." p. 15

". . . But we may want to keep in mind that deeds and words are not as distinguishable as often we presume. History does not belong only to its narrators, professional or amateur. While some of us debate what history is or was, others take it into their own hands." p. 153

Beat the Polar Vortex Assimilation With East Texas Woolly Bully!

G-D it's cold!  I haven't experienced cold like this since leaving North Dakota winters behind.  North Dakota winters were an excellent reason for leaving North Dakota behind.

It's only going to get worse They Say here and other places.

So pull up that Woolly Bully San Antonio heat with Sam the Sham and the Pharaohs:



Can you call this Gulf music?  San Antonio isn't that far from the Gulf. I swear I hear some New Orleans influence in this Chicano hit from the 60's.
