Driving to work one morning I hit the biggest coon I’ve ever seen with the driver’s side front wheel. Damn thing nearly flipped my Ranger pickup!
I worked at a coal-fired power plant and a friend of mine was about 150 feet up our boiler when he was charged by an about 25lb. ‘coon. He kicked it as hard as he could and sent the ‘coon all the way to the ground via “air express!” Lucky it didn’t land on top of someone, because we were in outage and had several hundred contractors on site!
I live in Rogers, AR with Tyson HQ to my south in Springdale, and WalMart to my North in Bentonville. Tyson did this same thing in the early ‘90’s; busing in hundreds of illegals from the southern border. Got rid of most of the white workers and replaced them with illegals.
Demographics changed almost overnight; some positive, some not. Lots of Mexican entrepreneurial benefits, but lots of domestic abuse and DWI’s. Some of the apartment complexes here were no-go zones.
I’m in NW Arkansas, and worked for a company based in Columbus for 40 years. When the bigwigs visited our facilities, we referred to them as the Columbians! Nothing I enjoy more than seeing OSU get their a***s handed to them!

I watched the women’s championship game last year, and as someone who lives close to the University of Arkansas, I started out rooting for the SEC team LSU. It didn’t take me long to switch my allegiance. I was really disappointed that Iowa lost.
Players like Caitlin come around once in a generation.
The only skyscraper Frank Lloyd Wright ever designed is in Bartlesville, the Price Tower. Beautiful building; very storied. We toured it and spent the night in it.

She gave vouchers for school choice here in Arkansas. Really p.o.’d the “progz”. If anything, I’d love to see her become Secretary of Education, and take vouchers national.
No such thing as fossil petroleum, perhaps; however I worked in a coal-fired power plant for 40 years, and we have found large (basketball-sized) bone fragments in coal shipments we’ve received from the Powder River Basin in Wyoming.
Also, petrified tree trunks in lignite are commonly found..
I swear that’s what the instructor said. But, maybe he made it up. I just passed it on. Too good not to share.
Not sure who I’m replying to; were you in that class?
