Old but even more relevant than when recorded.  It seems Munro was as pissed off as I was when Biden and Barra went on TV and exposed the dishonesty of both.  SURELY it was dishonesty rather than stupidity?  Who could be THAT stupid?  I've been surprised that videos of that "press conference" are so hard to find.  If you find a full video, please post in comments.

Munro makes the point that the Biden/Barra prevarications are "stolen valor".

Here is another posting from after Biden/Barra exposed their prevarication inclinations:

Lastly, here is my first post on the topic from July 22:

Plum Creek Monster

Since we moved to Caldwell County in 1976, the Plum Creek Monster Legend has cropped up every few years.  I figured it was a fabrication of the local newspaper to boost up local interest periodically.

A neighbor has been interviewed by out of staters preparing both a book and a movie.  The neighbor knows a lot more about the story than he has previously let on.  He saw a pair (or more) hyenas around the area on several occasions.   He once attempted roping one.  The hyenas were thought to have escaped from an exotic game range in the Rosanky area.  Depredations, eating the innards of cattle, are thought to be the result of big cats rather than the hyenas.

Here is one example of the publicity:

Sowers Cemetery, Irving, 2022.

Above is the Sowers plot, with the biggest monument in the Cemetery.  Irving grew up around the cemetery which became neglected.  The current Sowers Cemetery Association has done wonders in improving and maintaining over the past few decades.

The last eight photos contain photos of the burial site of Geraldine and Tyson Farris who are the parents of the Farris siblings in nearby photos.  Betsy Farris is a major mover behind the current incarnation of the Sowers Cemetery Association and is related to me through an ancestor of Tyson., Sarah or Fannie Taylor.  We already have an abundance of Sarahs in that branch so I will refer to her as "Fannie" which seems to have been a name she used.  Fannie is sister to my great great grandfather, Whitfield Rogers Taylor.  So, Fannie is a great great aunt.  Or somesuch.  Feel free to figure it out for me.  All the current Farris siblings are probably about 3rd cousins to me.  Our common ancestors are Whitfield's and Fannie's parents, James and Sarah Taylor.  My 3rd great grandparents.

Rain collection off of a small shed is the only water supply that the cemetery has.  I have offered to contribute toward a well should that be possible.   The shed is on the northern boundary of the cemetery and offers a great place to install PV panels.  If the local utility is PV friendly, the cemetery could have water and electricity with no month costs.
