How cool. My semi-newly planted cactus
(Saturday, January 3, 2026) looks like he
is happy in his new (for now) home!

He gave us a flower.

Beautiful.

I wanted the movie Novocaine when it was first

released but I didn't want to pay what they were
asking for it. Today I found it in the $5.00 bin at
Walmart and tonight it will be playing
at Borden Cinema!

Take a drink whenever I type the word "it".
Have fun!

There are birds around here that build their
nests in the same spots every year. Last night
something annihilated two of those nests. I don't
know if it is too late for them to start again,
but it is possible. I am hoping they do.

Happy 250th Birthday, America!
1776 - 2026

Welcome back to Cactus Central.

I spotted this cactus along the road. We don't have any
like this on The Ranch. I need to fix that.

I can't believe America's 250th

birthday is just one week away.

WOO HOO!

I found SCREAM 7 on 4K Ultra and Blu-ray today and I will be

watching this one tooooNIGHT. I don't know how, but I have managed

to stay away from every possible spoiler out there. Either I was very

lucky, or absolutely nothing noteworthy happens in SCREAM 7. I hope

it is the former. Anyway, my popcorn is waiting and will find out soon!

Okay, I found just one more cactus pup that I am
going to put into dirt. I am posting this because
I want to be able to look back and see how
much he has grown.

And here he is in his new home, hopefully to be very
happy. He was watered really well and now I won't
touch him for a few weeks. Take in the sun, my friend.

Take in the sun.

Here is another something else
I bought a LONG time ago.

Opera-Singer Homer and a Leprechaun. I bought

these at Toys "R" Us when I am sure that there was

nothing else I wanted and money was burning a hole

in my pocket. There were times that I just didn't want

to come home empty-handed. Yeah, not good.

But you gotta get 'em all. (I didn't.)
I do love The Simpsons though.
