Supposedly the Postal Service has a package for me with an expected delivery of Wed. It's coming from FL, but otherwise I have no idea what the item is.
It's probably some random piece of merch from the Contracting company. They like to randomly send items out, with the delivery notification being the 1st indication of it.
Guess we'll find out.
I bet it’s Billy Napier‘s buyout because Florida lost to the Aggies 33-20
I hope it's a canned Urban Meyer to help Mark Stoops be able to actually beat Georgia next time!
what about Urban Meyer helping out Mike Norvell and FSU they need it more then Kentucky. To be honest i wish that Kentucky did win but then TU would have been put at number 1 so I'm happy and sad at the same time.
Have the dog sniff it...
We have a cat, but no dog.

As Summer officially winds down this week, let's end it with Movie soundtracks. 1st is the franchise continuing off a book into a movie. 'Life Finds a way.' Just watch out for those big piles of Dino poop.

Howdy y'all!
Despite being late by 2 days (Sorry! I got really busy IRL), I am very pleased to announce the launch of our Forest Keeper Election Poll of September 2024! Our candidates are, in alphabetical order:
Anxious and Kevin
Atsvea
Crawlaysia
Garbelia
Luadastmaa
--------------------------
Egre did not appear on the ballot for the Forest Keeper Election Poll because they have exited the Forest Keeper Elections.
This poll will run for three days, and will end with either the formal announcement of our next Forest Keeper (should a candidate secure 50% +1 of the validly-cast votes), or else with the immediate launch of the Runoff Poll (should no candidate secure a majority, in which case the top two nations will advance to a runoff).

Y’all might find this interesting:

It's a lot easier to fundraise these days. My cousins just sent out an email about their school fundraiser with a link to donate.
I would have preferred that method to making a dozen or so phone calls to friends & family
The more I read about the Israeli exploding electronics operation, the more my respect grows. The ladies and gentlemen of Mossad never cease to amaze.
My initial assessment was wrong. I was thinking some kind of self destruct device to protect the Hezbollah pagers from loss or capture. It appears Israeli operatives intercepted a shipment or shipments of digital pagers totaling 5000 units and added a special feature to each one. Now other electronics like hand held radios and fingerprint scanners are exploding.
Think about what the Israelis had to do in order to pull this off.
Somewhere in transit, or possibly at the source, all those electronics were unboxed. A surprise was added to each unit (probably in the battery). Either each board was modified on each item, or the entire board was swapped out with a "custom" board. Then they were repackaged back into original condition and sent on their way.
All of this was done inside of a time frame and with such care that the electronincs raised no suspicion what so ever upon receipt.
Got to tell you, I am really impressed. Well done, people. Well done indeed.
Respect.

If the cat sniffs it and makes a bee-line for the door, don't open it.
Well, whoever sent the item sent it to my old CA address from like 8 years ago. So.... that's 1 mystery that probably won't be solved

As I missed yeasterday, we're doing a 2 for 1.
1st is the iconic theme from The Good The Bad And the Ugly.
2nd is a medley of James Bond themes
How did they get that old address?
Don't even know who the sender was, so I have no idea
Today's theme is easy, as they played it on the radio this afternoon.
The main theme for Lawrence of Arab

***** Texas Saturday Breakfast *****
YipYipYippee! Are you ready for some Saturday Breakfast, still All-Fresh? Bring out the Drones! The NewTexas Happy Taco Stands, in conjunction with the NewTexas Incendiary Corporation, has approximately 1 trillion of the fastest, lightest drones you have ever seen. This fleet is specially designed to deliver tacos to every man, woman, child, whatever, in Texas, all 2,306,404,000,000 of you.
Today's special breakfast will be Saturday Potato & Egg Breakfast Tacos [COVID-19 CCXXV Edition]! Even though this pleasantly mild taco is made with only two ingredients, it is delightfully decadent when everything is fresh. Simply put, NewTexas-grown Yukon Gold potatoes are cubed and lightly browned in farm-fresh Texas creamery butter with just a hint of onion and hearty, rich, yellow, pillow-ey, Grade-A scrambled eggs! A giant scoop is gently ladled into homemade flour tortillas and wrapped up tight just for you, Texas! Remember, A whole egg in every taco!®
Today's Special Salsa is a Texas tradition - Chile Quemado - our fiery roasted salsa made from tomatoes, onions, garlic, and jalapeños roasted fresh on the grill. The tacos are hermetically sealed in a Stay-Warm® pouch that is wrapped in the same ol' aluminum foil we are all so familiar with for our breakfast taco. The Juice Bar will not be possible this week. But, for your beverage needs, a packet of Sanka, Tang and a Lipton Tea bag will be included with every delivery as well as salt and pepper and a napkin. Yes, it is different, but it works and you do not even have to leave your residence. Woo! And, watch out for the drones! Start your day off the right way; munch out and go back to sleep. You know you want to!®
Stay Safe Texas. Stay Well. Hang in there!
***** Texas Chat Reminder *****
The Texas Weekly Chat Session will be Saturday (TODAY) at High Noon Texas Time (CDT) ***Saturday***. And, if you can't be there right at Noon, that is Ok, Texas Chat usually runs 3, 4, or 5 hours with some Chats running as high as 7 or 8 hours.
The Texas Chat Site is here: http://texasregion.net/blab70/login.php
Please register with your nation name. This is an excellent opportunity for nations old and new to Texas to find out what is going on! We chat, debate, and talk about the weather, stuff we like, stuff we hate, random stuff, and more. But, it is never stuffy. Usually, it is about meeting your fellow Texans and discussing the latest and most interesting stuff in NationStates. But then again, sometimes NationStates does not even come up. It is wide-open chatting with peeps from around The World both IRL and NS. It is Texans, EuroTexans, WannabeTexans, ex-Texans, VirtualTexans, and plenty of Friends of Texans. We have it all and all are welcome.
We have added a new feature to Texas Chat, Texas Movie Chat! Chat with Texans while watching a movie. Fun stuff! So far we have watched Halloween, Shootout at the OK Corral, Red, and recently a few new Star Trek series episodes. Want to watch something together?
Texas Chat, 1006 chats completed! For the math-challenged, that is over 20 years! Check it out! Good stuff!

Was hoping to get an actual departure date this weekend, but that’s still pending
You should celebrate by watching The hunt for Red October, Red Dragon, and Red Dawn. See what I did there? None of them have to do with baseball.

Today marks the official start of Fall, or Autumn as it's known.
