December 27, 2019 - In 1967 I was employed by the Fireman’s Fund Insurance Company when living in Houston, Texas. Although it was a very large company, it was bought out by the American Express Company. Soon thereafter all we employees were presented with an American Express credit card. I had always wanted one of these cards, but they were expensive to purchase. Now, I had one for free. I have carried and used it since that day in 1969.

November 29, 2019 - I realize that I am now an old feller and things are much more complicated today than when I was a young man. Things change rapidly and old things pass away in the middle of the night. I have noticed a number of things that have changed hardly without notice.

The following are few of the things that I have noticed:

November 8, 2019 - The Texas Rangers have been known for always getting their man over the years. However, they did lose a battle right here in East Texas. In 1887 a squad of four Rangers entered Scrappin’ Valley with warrants to arrest the leaders of the feud going on there for a number of years. However they were ambushed by the Connor boys and all the Rangers were killed.

October 28, 2019 - If you were born prior to WWII you probably knew Kilroy. You might have had a yellow or orange lapel pin with his nose hanging over the label, and the top of his hands hanging over the label, too.
