My son is spending his final days in the Army doing funeral detail. Now a member of the 4^TH I D his group provides the (they fire blanks) salutes and tributes given to our heroes that have fallen in Iraq and Afghanistan as well has to veterans of our army. One of his duties is to meet incoming commercial aircraft carrying the body of our fallen soldiers.

Recently that so called church from Kansas was there at the Denver Airport to protest the war and their warped agenda. In respect the coffin is removed before passengers are allowed to leave the aircraft. These nuts were holding up his detail as well as the folks on the plane. Rolling Thunder Vets came to the rescue.

After the proper respects were given my son my son thanked the Vets for timely intervention. He told them it was about to get hairy. “Don’t worry “said the Vet, “We have real bullets in our guns”.

 

As the work over unit makes its third swap run sirens wail on the Highway between La Pryor and Uvalde. The drilling superintendent spots smoke coming from a small pickup. 500 pounds of Pot is going up in smoke in the bed of the truck as the Mexican National tries to flee the Border Patrol. This happens all the time say the Zavala County deputy sheriffs as they ropes off the scene and the volunteer fire department douses the blaze.

Just another runner from across the border in Eagle Pass trying to deliver a load to make a buck?

Just another average day in the patch in South Texas?

How did the border become out of control?

I remember watching two brothers from Laredo, one was smuggling cattle out of Mexico, and the other was smuggling chicken into Mexico as they became pillars of local society. The problem has been here for years. It was just a minor case of border rash until 9-11.

The National Guard deployment has been a joke. They did not even bring bullets for their guns. Year before lasts Border Patrol agent of the year was recently convicted along with a fellow agent for shooting a fleeing smuggler in the posterior while fleeing across the Rio Grande. The smuggler was granted immunity from prosecution for testifying against the agents by the U.S. AG’s office. The bad guy is also suing the government.

The politicians want block votes for their respective parties. Labor Unions want to collects dues from hard working illegal aliens. Mexico wants the cash flow. Everyone else seems to want cheap yard work and maid service. The Border Patrol wants someone to back them up when they do their job.

If you feel helpless, you might want to go to www.eyesontheborder.com

The idea is for the public to support the local sheriffs by providing them eyes in the sky to find and catch the bad guys. The idea was hatched by a talk show guy from Houston and it’s the best plan I’ve heard. They are raising $100,000 to provide a slow flying plane to see what’s coming over the border in 4 remote Southwest Texas Counties. They will auction off the cars and trucks captured from the busts and buy the plane. Eyes on the Border plans to repeat the process until all the sheriffs have the help they need to protect their counties and our country. It’s a start that doesn’t involve politicians, unions, Mexico, The National Guard or the Border Patrol.

 

The Manmade Global Warming Business must be tough these days. Just as soon as you start talking about all the hurricanes- wouldn’t you know it- they disappear? What’s a sandal wearing climate scientist to do? One day it’s raining, the next day snow, then its hot, and then cold. Heck it’s hard enough to figure out what to wear.

The current mantra is what ever the weather, the temperature or the climate model the answer is always its MANMADE GLOBAL WARMING STUPID. This weather that’s existed for millions and millions of years must have been fouled by the oil companies or the republicans or Halliburton.

Rules for the Global Warming Scientist

1. When confronted by a logical natural meteorological phenomenon, give the phenomenon a Spanish name.
2. Always remember we are saving the planet for the children and many brown children speak Spanish so use words like La Nina, or El Nino
3. If you don’t know the answer to a question –make the answer up. There’s a good chance it will be used as a chapter in Al Gore’s next book.
4. Plant the question in the media, what could Dr. Gray know about hurricanes and MANMADE GLOBAL WARMING, he’s from Colorado?
5. When confronted by scientific data that does not conform to MANMADE GLOBAL WARMING use anecdotal experiences. Example: My daughter, La Nino’s ice cream melts faster now than it did in 1976.
6. Be relentless, Chicken Little was never given a 10 million dollar government grant or able to shake down a fortune 500 corporation.
7. Keep the goals in sight; there are industries and jobs to be eliminated. Cars Bad-Mass Transit- Good-My cars o.k.
8. Kyoto is more than some town in Japan –It’s your future and prestige for all your colleagues.

Remember when the Weather Channel told you what the weather was suppose to be? Heck, even if you had to sit through Atlanta’s weather report nine times–they eventually came within a 200 miles of home. Now they try to scare you about what happened 10 years ago and what might happen if some clown gets a grant to study the butterfly effect.

Is it that old long shot horse. The one you bet your last $3 on that broke down in the straight away. You were sure it looked at the tote board and saw they were paying 100-to-1 odds. Is it a worthless piece of metal shaped like a coin to get you past the toll booth? Most would say it's a thing you put in the wall to get electricity to your t.v. set?

In the “Oil Bidness” plugging is what you do to a dry hole or an old stripper well that's no longer making money. This is an expensive proposition- you seal up the producing zones with cement and plug up the production casing (big pipe). Plugging an old well, that's made you and some friend’s money, is almost like stootin your horse- unless it was that nag that lost  your last $3.

Here in Texas, there is another type of plug. It's s serpentine plug or a volcanic mound. Serpentine Plugs were ancient volcanoes that erupted and were filled in with debris and sediments from ancient seas.  If you can find them they can make pretty good oil fields.

In a small town of Thrall, Texas in 1914 had a Jed Clampitt story. A farmer drilling irrigation well struck oil at 420 feet. The next well came in at 5000 barrels of oil per day at 1000 feet.  Pretty soon, there were oil wells drilled on every single acre. They did not need the natural gas, so it was vented into the air. Soon, as the pressure from the vented natural gas began to wane the production dropped from a monthly high of 265,000 barrels of oil to 30,000 barrels per month to a few hundred barrels per month. This 1000 acre old volcano and a couple of other plugs supported it's on refinery in the 30's until an explosion killed a worker.

The old Thrall Field is now a grave yard of wells being plugged by contractors for the Texas Railroad Commission because of environmental problems from rusted casing and leaking wells.

The old plug gave up 3,000,000 barrels and there is still 25-30 million still in the ground that can't be gotten out. 

Today the whole county only produces a few hundred barrels per month. Nobody is fool enough to look for more-except for me.
