A Very Happy Holiday to all You Buckaroos and Buckarettes!
Times were a lot simpler back when I was reading Roy Rogers comic books, and I can remember many of those Christmases as clearly as if they were happening now. I wish all of you the happiest of holidays, whatever you might be celebrating, and I do hope that everyone has something to celebrate today. May your days be merry and bright, and may 2011 be the greatest year of your lives so far.

Once Again, Texas Leads the Way
And happy birthday, Mayor Moore!
Moore, who is in his 61st year at the helm in Richmond, turned 90.
'I couldn't be better,' Moore said as he answered the phone Wednesday afternoon. 'I feel fortunate. God has been good to me. I'm blessed with a wonderful family, and while I have had what some people consider serious illnesses, they haven't gotten me down so far.'"

In Case You Were Wondering, . . .
Where do I put the paper?: "I'd imagined that in most countries in the world, putting toilet paper down the toilet was the accepted method of disposal, but if you're a Western European or similar type of person and you decide to do a bit of travelling, where you put the paper can suddenly turn into a bit of a problem – at least until you get the hang of the country and their rules."
Here's the Plot for Your Next Scottish Crime Thriller
iWon News - Ex-lawmaker faces jail over sex life perjury: "It was a case that gripped Scotland - a firebrand leftist lawmaker who claimed he spent nights at home playing Scrabble versus a tabloid that claimed he took part in wild parties at a sex club.
The first jury ruled for Scrabble. The next one decided that he had lied.
So Tommy Sheridan, a former member of Scotland's Parliament, has been told by a judge to get ready for jail when he returns to a Glasgow court next month for sentencing."

A Poem
Long ago I wrote a cheery little Christmas poem. It was published in riverSedge in 1977. I thought it would become a Christmas classic on the order of How The Grinch Stole Christmas, but for some reason, it didn't. So since you won't be seeing it anywhere else, here it is:
Plastic Xmas
Underneath my plastic tree
Are plastic presents wrapped with glee
And plastic tape as you can see.
Nearby there's a nativity
(Made of plastic, naturally)
With its plastic babe fast asleep,
Watched over by placid plastic sheep,
And plastic shepherds that quietly creep,
As plastic angels from the rooftop peep.
Beside it stand my plastic wife . . .
My plastic children . . .
My plastic life.
Okay, Now This is Odd
Usually my blog gets about 1000 page views a day. Not bad, though nothing like what the popular kids get on their blogs. But the other day I linked to a post on the worst baby names. And the stats went through the roof. I got three times as many hits on that one post as I usually get on all my posts for the day. I always thought that phrases like "Lindsay Lohan's boobies" were the ones that got hits. Now I know better. The people want posts on baby names. Go figure.
Once Again, Texas Leads the Way

The line snaked out the door as many travelers waited for more than an hour and some missed their flights. One of the first people in line after that shutdown never made it through. She was arrested and banned from the airport."
Here's the Plot for Your Next Serial Killer Thriller
On a barrier island, mystery deepens on 4 corpses EarthLink - U.S. News: "A week after police accidentally discovered the bodies of four women strewn over a quarter-mile stretch of marshy grasslands, overgrown shrubbery and sea grass on a barrier island, mere paces from an oceanfront parkway, investigators are vexed by the basic questions: Who are they and how did they get there?
By week's end, police brass appeared to concede they were stumped, even backing away from earlier notions that a serial killer may be responsible."
