This area of Texas and Houston is extremely flat prairie land. Naturally wooded areas are very rare due to ground water suffocating tree roots. Davis (Redeemer) Cemetery is in such a rare area that allows for better drainage. This wooded area runs immediately next to Sims Bayou. The banks of Sims Bayou are quite steep [...]

I have struggled with how to conclude this series. There will be one more post with my final speculations and conclusions. For this post, I include pics from the historian George E. Wolf Jr. again. I did some enhancements on the death certificates but as I have previously included the link to those resources, I [...]

Ours was the second house built on Hirondel Street. This was former grazing land. A barbed wire fence was a short distance away to keep cattle in their field. In the mornings a black man on a white horse would come by and talk to us. In the evening he headed back home to the area [...] -

Down a rock road almost to the end (Wenda st.), on the right is a high barbed wire fence, inside is the small cemetery. There are only four gravestones. The cemetery gate [...]

This is a historic black cemetery that is privately owned by a direct descendant of the Rev. Davis I met as a child. I grew up near this cemetery in Houston and had the opportunity to revisit it last year. Pictures from that visit will be in a later post. The earliest photos I can [...]

I wasn’t happy with the photos so went back to square one on that, deleted the original post and replaced it with this one. Not even DeWayne has seen these. We stopped by Grant Roy’s house for a very short visit. One of my sons was with us and I had him take some photos [...]

Back in April I was honored to do a totally freelance review and photoshoot of the newest Fleshjack toys that look like soda cans. It was an incredible honor for ILF to trust me to do a review of their product with nearly no controls. I am still blown away at the opportunity. I had [...]

These are just some fun pics from my family get together on July fourth. We were at my sisters little ranch near Lockhart, Texas. We spent a large part of the day in the recreational equipment barn. The equipment had been moved out and water vaporizer hoses wrapped around the barn to provide some cooling. [...]

My four year old Toshiba stopped being able to edit photos a couple of years ago. All pictures of mine you have seen on his or other blogs were edited by him. Mostly size reduction and watermarking but that is a lot of work and I so thank my partner. I got my new [...]

Three of my sons and I spent the weekend at a family gathering at my sisters little ranch near Lockhart. This was a real red-neck gathering. We spent the daytime mostly in the recreational equipment barn. Chickens and dogs underfoot and friendly as we sat around visiting. I have never tried to photograph fireworks before. All [...]

My main picture was deleted. I doubt DeWayne or Mark had anything to do with this. It is after all my own photography with my own camera on a site that is porno safe. Also, it was not porno. Still, it was deleted.

Socialism is a failed philosophy based on hate of others and lust for their property. Karl Marx may have summarized socialism best in his statement, “From each according to their abilities, to each according to their needs.” It has no functional end ideal. Socialism includes sub-groups like progressives, liberals, social anarchists, libertarian Marxists, national socialism [...]

DeWayne and I went up to Mt. Soledad. It was a tribute to our fallen friends. I lost a grandfather in the Army, WWII. DeWaynes father was Navy. Mt. Soledad was a bit of a contraversy at the time. Some local Judge had declared it unconstitutional and ordered it’s destruction. President Bush declared it a National [...]
