Labor Day
Here we go with some great news! Glen Maxey announced that we won the Grand Prize for the Race Across Texas! Thank you so much for helping. All the prizes will be auctioned-off and the money goes to the Texas Democratic Party’s Ballot By Mail Program.
I’m going to volunteer today and then do the first normal thing I’ve done in ten days – go to the ball game. The park is open and we’re playing the Mets. I do not feel the least bit guilty for going.
Nobody has seen Trump’s one million dollar donation to the recovery effort yet. Maybe Dr. Evil will deliver it for him. I hear they’re close. Y’all, Trump does not have one million dollars. That’s why he pimps those stoopid hats.
I am sincerely hoping that things will begin to get normal tomorrow. However, school is out for another week and it’s hotter than hell here.
Question to ponder. Will General Kelly make it another week?
See ya tomorrow.
Bets here center around Halloween and Thanksgiving day. I say he makes it to Christmas then announces his retirement on New Years Day. In my experience,the end of the year is usually when people get fired or retired.
1I’m surprised he’s made it as long as he has. Go stros!
2I think Donald will lose his freaking mind (what’s left of it) by the time Kelly gets done with him.
3Nahhh– he’ll refuse to go except at the glare of a nasty butler. There’s nothing like the withering glare of a good butler. (Not that I know that by personal experience, either as an employer nor an offending hoi polloi {aka DJT}.
He soooo wants to be superior to everyone else; Donnie, we all know you lie like a rug and you’re so insecure you keep yapping about it.
4Enjoy the game! Here’s a nice piece in today’s WaPo about yesterday’s game:

I’ll be watching the Nats on TV at the same time as the Astros’ game. Please beat up on the Mutts. I love when people beat up the Mutts.
5I bet it’s hotter then Texas in the summer there, and terribly humid, I imagine.
6I would be happy to trade some cool Alaskan fall temperatures for your heat.
Stay safe and enjoy the ballgame.
Not to worry too much, but that little low pressure blip in the SW GOM to the Bay of Campeche just merited a bump up to having some development potential soon, as it moves to THE NW (look out Valley & CC).
And that proto-depression with a large potential for development tippy-toeing in Harvey’s footsteps way out in the Atlantic continues to have very good odds of becoming ‘something’.
Fun times…no such thing as climate change though, that’s a librul treehugger fantasy.

Enjoy some well deserved sunshine and baseball, Mr. & Mrs. B.! There are plenty of excellent commentators here at the WMDBS to field any questions we non-Texans might have. With the sunshine, we hope it will be a much needed day of evaporation over the bayous and streets for the Texans who need it.
Speaking of questions, JuanitaJean Herownself already provided answer #1 with https://juanitajean.com/the-goodest-people-i-know/ Grandma and her friends are all over that one; shaking down their golf friends, bridge club and no doubt they’ll be passing the hat at the weekend barbecues. For those of you who are uncomfortable with PayPal, Grandma has the address for those who prefer to send cash, checks and money orders:
M&Ms Southern Creole Kitchen 1101 Jackson St. Richmond, TX 77469.
Now, our remaining two questions, if you would please local WMDBS Texans, please name a local children’s charity and animal rescue that you feel need some help. Thank you.
8Trump doesn’t donate, he uses his foundation to make his “donations”.
9Have a good time at the game.
We are cold and rainy, wearing my fleece and wool socks.
$250,000 donated by a Moscow Idaho business and family
10How much has Abbott donated from his yuuugh campaign fund?
WA Skeptic: Great. Now I’ll have the nasty butler dream again. Thanks so much.
11Glad someone else is reasonably sure that traitor trump is broke. No real person of wealth starts up all the so-called businesses traitor trump does. And all of them lose money. Traitor trump isn’t going to donate one red cent to anyone but himself.
12So thrilled that Glen won the Grand Prize!!
I did the first week of questions, then got distracted. By the time I got back to it, the contest was over. So I missed out on a lot of cool Texas trivia. But at least my guilt for not earning more points is assuaged.
