Life in the Banana Patch

A collection of thoughts and asides about life. And if I think of anything that needs to be mocked, it will show up here.

"If a man is offered a fact which goes against his instincts, he will scrutinize it closely, and unless the evidence is overwhelming, he will refuse to believe it. If, on the other hand, he is offered something which affords a reason for acting in accordance to his instincts, he will accept it even on the slightest evidence. The origin of myths is explained in this way."
--Bertrand Russell

To all Texans in the world!

Monday October 23rd is the day early voting begins in Texas. Kinky Friedman will be in Kerrville on Monday at 10 am, at the Kerr County Courthouse, to cast his ballot in the upcoming election. There is no reason that any Texan should not vote. Can't get away from work? No problem! Most courthouses will be open on Saturday mornings for early balloting. Surely between now and November 7 you'll be driving by your courthouse. Stop by! Have a cup of coffee and cast a ballot.

Remember, if you don't vote, you can't care about Texas or its future. And you shouldn't be allowed to call yourself a Texan.

Friends don't let friends vote straight tickets!

Sorry for the interuption. Carry on.
