That’s a really scenic way to say neither were there

It absolutely is, that's why nobody noticed 11 people were missing until 8:15 AM, nobody was there to notice.

I guess I'm just a ridiculous person, because in my stupid world, a jail that is admittedly only staffed at 60% doesn't have jailers slipping out at midnight to run up to Jack in the Box for a snack. Bus also, it's what happens when lowest common denominator employees are left unsupervised.

She looks pretty bad in this article.

I also leaned from this article Gaiman's family are leaders in Scientology going back to the 60s, NG was pretty involved too. I went down a rabbit hole and here's a pretty interesting article about his father and a suicide/murder that happened at the Gaiman family home when NG was 8.

A truly exceptional album. I love Levon and his daughter's harmonies.

The rare double brother combo.

I'll add the sisters Klara and Johanna from First Aid Kit.

The Good, the Bad and the Ugly
No Country For Old Men
Unforgiven

I like pretty much every movie ITT, plus Giant and Hud I didn't see mentioned. For somewhat newer westerns I enjoy Dead Man and The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada.

I watched this for the first time recently, great movie, it's on Pluto along with 2-300 other westerns for free.

I didn't realize he had grown into some of these venues, good for him. He has come a long was from seeing him play Club Dada in Dallas to 400 people in 2014.

The car's on fire and there's no driver at the wheel, and the sewers are all muddied with a thousand lonely suicides. And a dark wind blows. The government is corrupt, and we're on so many drugs with the radio on and the curtains drawn. We're trapped in the belly of this horrible machine and the machine is bleeding to death. The sun has fallen down and the billboards are all leering, and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles.

It went like this: the buildings toppled in on themselves, mothers clutching babies picked through the rubble and pulled out their hair. The skyline was beautiful on fire, all twisted metal stretching upwards, everything washed in a thin orange haze.

I said, "Kiss me, you're beautiful; these are truly the last days". You grabbed my hand, and we fell into it. Like a daydream. Or a fever.

We woke up one morning and fell a little further down, for sure is the valley of Death. I open up my wallet and it's full of blood.

McCarthy makes him almost a mythical or supernatural figure but there was a real Judge Holden in the source material the book is based on.

He's pretty much described the exact same way there though, this sounds just like Tobin's description of the Judge to the Kid. I've thought about a BM movie for years and casting the Judge seems impossible. IMO it needs to be some unknown actor.

Also, My Confession: Recollections of a Rogue, is back in print for anyone wanting to read it.


"The second in command, now left in charge of the camp, was a man of gigantic size who rejoiced in the name of Holden, called “Judge” Holden of Texas. Who or what he was no one knew but a cooler blooded villain never went unhung; he stood six feet six in his moccasins, had a large fleshy frame, a dull tallow colored face destitute of hair and all expression. But when a quarrel took place and blood shed, his hog-like eyes would gleam with a sullen ferocity worthy of the countenance of a fiend. His desires was blood and women, and terrible stories were circulated in camp of horrid crimes committed by him when bearing another name, in the Cherokee nation and Texas; and before we left Fronteras a little girl of ten years was found in the chapperal, foully violated and murdered. The mark of a huge hand on her little throat pointed him out as the ravisher as no other man had such a hand, but though all suspected, no one charged him with the crime."

Send Annettee an email at Jimmy's Food Store, their selection can't be beat and they will ship you whatever. They usually have these two in stock, both great for cooking and better than anything sold at a regular store.


I would pick one of those and then get her to pick me out a nicer bottle for dipping. I prefer Greek and Sicilian and the two below were fantastic, but I haven't seen either in a while, so just see what she recommends.


I'm in Louisiana for a few days or I would swing by tomorrow, grab a Philly roast pork and take a picture of what they have. It's my neighborhood spot, they're great people, and the one food place no visitor to Dallas should miss.

I don't know if I said, but none of this is at my house in Dallas, this is in rural N. Louisiana. I wish it were, I'm in OED so I could make a small fortune on FB Marketplace selling all the non cookbook collections.
