So it won’t be long before you may be walking out of any store to people having a knock down, drag out in the parking lot.
All of the sudden one man knocks another to the ground and the man on the ground reaches in his waistband and starts to pull out a gun.
If that were to happen today, the only choice you may have is to duck and take cover so when the bullets fly, at least you will be safe.
That may all change soon enough as Texas Governor Gregg Abbott has recently said that he would sign legislation allowing Texans to carry handguns in public without a license.
In a recent radio interview Abbott said “I support it, and I believe it should reach my desk, and we should have ‘constitutional carry’ in Texas”. Just prior to that Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick said the Senate did not have the votes for the legislation then, but he was trying to find a way to move it through the process.
It may seem scary to many of us that everyone would be running around with a gun strapped to their hip BUT when you truly give it some thought, it would be much better than a bad guy pulling one out on you and or your loved ones without you knowing they had it.
So once again you’re faced with a “Damned if you do or Damned if you Don’t” scenario.
Stop and think, either they ban guns on private citizen all together or if you feel secure enough, you get to carry one yourself for your own personal protection.
It’s certainly something that everyone should be talking about today before we go back to the days of the Wild Wild West when we’re all carrying guns on our hips and may the fastest man win. A day that we’ll all be waiting for the GUNSMOKE to clear to find out whowill be left standing to fight another day.
Just another Point of View.

As we get closer to the end and farther away from our beginning we start to wonder if we’ve had enough fun in our lives?
We wonder if we’ve done enough, seen enough, been enough places and made enough friends away from our regular circle of comfort.
A while back I was thinking so much about this that I even went as far as creating a Facebook page called Racing The End. It’s a hodge·podge of writings, a journal if you will of stuff that’s not only going on now in my life but things that I’d like do and plan to do.
Many of us have this going on in one way or another. Some in the form or an actual written journal, others in the form of a diary and if your like me you plaster all over the Internet for everyone to judge you because you just don’t have enough grief going on in your life.
I share stuff like my medical issues. This is an excerpt from May 2020; “I spent an hour on the phone with a Doctor Today. They just changed my Diabetes Meds and Now they want to add an Extra one that would cost me $157 a month Co-Pay. Who can afford that? Not Me. Plus they want to add a Statin too. That would make it TEN Pills I would be taking a day. Enough is Enough. I’ve just been to lazy to do the right thing. The Right Thing in My Case is Getting Back and Sticking With a KETO like diet Plan until my Diabetes disappears. YES it can be done. I’ve done it 3 times before just Failed to Commit. This Time with your Prayers and GOD’s will I Will Not Fail. Lunch today was a small steak and a salad. For dinner tonight a KETO Shake, and so it starts. Pray for me.”
Wow, talk about pouring everything out there but it’s not all like that. Lots of it is about fun stuff I do as well. Like going to Vegas recently.
“Our trip to Vegas last week was Awesome except for while we were there they had a Cold Front move through and it was 40 Degrees every single morning. We flew economy class on American Airlines and I’ve got to say it was not the best experience. The seats were tight and rather uncomfortable. On one flight the sound on the seat Monitor did not work and on another flight they had No Earbuds available because no one loaded them on the flight in Las Vegas. We’ll be back in May and are flying United this time. With any luck the seats will be a little larger and more comfortable. We’ll see.”
Do your self a favor and start writing your own race. It’s liberating and can make you feel better.
In case your a Vegasite like me here are a few pictures from our recent trip.
Live, write, travel, have as great a time as you can, you’ll love it. Just another Point of View.

We’re still close enough to the start of the New Year that many of us are still trying to figure out a way to eat healthier and loose weight for the new year.
Lots of us keep hearing about the KETO Diet that does give folks like me that a Carbohydrate-ly challenged, the ability to loose a considerable amount of weight while still eating as much Beef, Pork, Fish, Bacon, Sausage, Chorizo and Barbacoa as you possibly can without feeling guilty.
There are those who would love to do the KETO Diet but are concerned about eating so much meat especially if they are already border line High Cholesterol or full blown high cholesterol.
That leads me to do a little bit of research and here’s what I found out. “People on a vegan diet consume only plant-based foods, such as vegetables, fruits and grains, and avoid animal-based foods like meat, poultry, eggs and dairy. Vegans can reach ketosis by relying on high-fat, plant-based products like coconut oil, avocados, seeds and nuts.”
Apparently, you can do a KETO Diet that is a Plant Based endeavor.
It’s known as a VEGAN KETO Diet. Who knew?
Here are some of the things you CAN EAT on a Vegan KETO Diet.
Vegan KETO diet Foods You Can Eat:
Tofu, Tempeh, Soy milk, Sugar free coconut yogurt, Vegan butter, Soy and nut based cheeses, Nuts and nut butters, Seeds, Oils, including coconut oil, olive oil, avocado oil, and nut oils, Coconut milk and fresh or dried coconut,
Avocado, small quantities of berries, Non-Starchy Vegetables, such as: Leafy greens; Spinach, Kale, Cabbage, Lettuce, Broccoli, Cauliflower, Cucumber, Mushrooms, Peppers, Zucchini, seaweed, including, nori, kelp, dulse.
Stevia
condiments, such as:
Pepper, Spice, Lemon juice, Fresh herb, Nutritional yeas, Coffee and Tea.
It’s VERY IMPORTANT that you check with your Doctor or a Medical Professional before starting any new diet regimen.
Good luck with your quest for a healthier path to eating and don’t forget to enjoy your Happy, Healthy Eating.

​Things are slowly coming back into bloom after a pandemic that has kept us from places like movie theaters for way too long. Even though there are new movies hitting local theaters these days many theaters are still at limited capacity and new films are few in coming.
This being the case there are some great choices on the small or not so small screen at home not only through streaming services but on regular, standard tv as well.
Shows like Call Me Kat with Mayim Bialik, most recently of The Big Band Theory and before that from the 1990’s TV Hit Blossom.
Call Me Kat is a tv series where A 39-year-old woman (Bialik) decides to use the money her parents had been saving for her wedding to open up a cat-themed cafe instead.
In the original British series, the main character ran a joke shop and her old crush cooked at the restaurant next door. In this series it’s a cat cafe and her old crush actually runs a karaoke.
With co-stars like Swoosie Kurtz (Jessie on Desperate Housewives)
and Lesslie Jordan (who played the short gay guy, Beverley Leslie, Karen’s nemesis in Will and Grace) the show is definatley set up for the laughs.
Coming to a theater near you very soon if not already there is the long awaited
Godzilla Vs. Kong (2021).
From Warner Bros.; “The epic next chapter in the cinematic Monsterverse pits two of the greatest icons in motion picture history against one another, the fearsome Godzilla and the mighty Kong, with humanity caught in the balance.
Legends collide as Godzilla and Kong, the two most powerful forces of nature, clash on the big screen in a spectacular battle for the ages. As a squadron embarks on a perilous mission into fantastic uncharted terrain, unearthing clues to the Titans’ very origins and mankind’s survival, a conspiracy threatens to wipe the creatures, both good and bad, from the face of the earth forever.”
Godzilla Vs, Kong, Rated; PG-13.
Have a great time as soon as you can At The Movies.

 It was a cold Sunday Night in February and the Snow just kept coming down of the Lone Star state. Iy was a beautiful sight and the kids were all excited because we hardly ever get to see any measurable amount of snow fall in central and south Texas.
This time it would be different though and by morning because of the extremely cold temperature the snow was still on the ground. For the next day the temperature never managed to climb above freezing and the snow was clinging to the ground into another day.
Now it would be Wednesday and finally the temperature manage to climb high enough that the snow started to melt but there was another supersize headed our way the very next day. More snow and that it did. It snowed quite a bit again that morning and through the day into the evening.
This time the snow fell lightly but steadily all day into the evening before it started to surrender by early in the night. It had now been 5 days with snow on the ground and in the air. Much of the stat was suffering from a failing Power Grid and rolling black outs that were supposed to keep the entire power grid from crashing itself.
In fact we would later find out that we were all just a short time away from a catastrophic failure of the states entire power grid which could have left most of the state without for weeks maybe months.
Also, by this time many businesses had been closed and when they reopened they we rushed by customers in a panic buying frenzy. Citizens of our great state were almost in a state of shock. Frustrated with being without of power, having to stay indoors and now without adequate food and other necessities like toilet paper.
The state wouldn’t start to recover until mid day Friday February 19th but by then most businesses were out of many things. There was little if no gas available at local gas stations, many homes had little if no water pressure and many restaurants were either closed or had limited supplies.
Some bar-b-que places were open but had no bread so the couldn’t sell any sandwiches. Some had no tea or drinks at all. And on the days they were open the lines of customers trying to get a bite of food to eat were extremely long and never ending.
People died, many were hurt, some lost their homes and still we try to figure who is responsible and the bigger questing is will anyone be able to fix it so that a situation like this never cripples the state like it did this time. GOD Bless The Great Sate Of Texas. 
Just another Point of View.
