A dictator will always find a way to dictate

Michigan Gov. Gretchen Whitmer on state supreme court ruling her dictates unconstitutional: “Furthermore, after 21 days, many of the responsive measures I have put in place to control the spread of the virus will continue under alternative sources of authority that were not at issue in today’s ruling.”

Milam, Texas

With a 2010 population of 1,480, Milam has the biggest population beyond any other in Sabine County.

But Milam is not the county seat. That designation is held by Hemphill, with a population of 1,198. In fact, Milam is not an organized town, but a census designated place.

Milam was the designated “municipal seat” of Sabine County from 1836 until 1858, when county residents decided they “wanted a more central location for the county seat.” (Wikipedia.) Sabine County’s 2010 population was 10,834.

Numbers collected for the 2000 census show Milam’s population was 90.9 percent white and 7.07 percent black. “About 6.4% of families and 10.8% of the population were below the poverty line, including 6.1% of those under age 18 and 11.9% of those age 65 or over.” (Wikipedia.)

Milam is on the southwestern edge of Sabine National Forest. Toledo Bend Reservoir is to the east and northeast. The lake encompasses 185,000 acres, making it the largest man-made body of water in Louisiana, the largest in the South and fifth-largest in the United States.

Good fishing, from what I’ve been told.

OMG! WAGD!**

 ‘Global heating warming up “nights faster than days”

 “The climate crisis is heating up nights faster than days in many parts of the world, according to the first worldwide assessment of how global heating is differently affecting days and nights.

“The findings have ‘profound consequences” for wildlife and their ability to adapt to the climate emergency, the researchers said, and for the ability of people to cool off at night during dangerous heatwaves.”

(You mean like how wildlife has mostly adapted to changing climate conditions, for, let’s just use the last 20,000 years since the end of the last glacial period, with all the warming and cooling periods?)

I am confused. Forty years ago, the world was going to freeze, according to Real Smart People who had Lots of Degrees. The Big Freeze did not happen. Real Smart People then studied and studied Mama Earth and everything and announced Global Warming, in which WAGD. Additional studies determined poor people and minority people would be particularly affected by Global Warming and we “must do something” to ensure poor people and minority people had the same opportunity of survival as did rich people, that is, non-poor and non-minority people.

When Global Warming was poo-pooed and ha-ha’d by (obviously) Not Real Smart People, the real Real Smart People changed the looming crisis to Climate Change, in order to tell us why some places had winters colder than normal and lots and lots of snow.

And now Real Smart People once again changed the focus and we have Global Heating. Paying attention to all of that is a waste of time.

Towns named Bon Ami are ghost towns in Texas and in Louisiana

Bonami, Texas, is on the Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe Railway sixty miles north of Beaumont in east central Jasper County. It was established in 1901 when the Lee-Irvine Lumber Company built a sawmill on the rail line, then named the Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City. 

The site was first called Leeton for one of the partners, D. J. Lee, but was renamed Bonami in 1902 by the first postmaster, R. J. Cooper, for a Louisiana town of the same name. 

The sawmill, which had a daily capacity of 25,000 board feet, was sold to the Bleakwood Lumber Company the following year. L. S. Bean managed the Bonami mill. The Bonami post office closed in 1914, and the following year Bean sold an edger, saw, and engine in storage at Bonami to J. J. and V. S. Bean. Presumably using this equipment, the Bonami mill resumed operations that lasted until 1929, when the installations were removed. 

A rural community remained, and in 1948 the population was 200. In 1986 Bonami had no apparent community center but was marked by an abandoned sawmill and the Freewill Baptist Church. Logging, a sand and gravel operation, and chicken and stock raising were the chief economic activities.

Bon Ami, Louisiana:  In his dissertation, "Lumbering in Southwest Louisiana," Dr. George Stoke reported that the Bon Ami sawmill's annual output was 60,000,000 feet when operated at full capacity. The mill cut out its timber in 1925, at which time the mill and much of the town were dismantled. During its heyday, there were two boarding houses for whites and one for Negroes at Bon Ami. The town had unusual recreation facilities for a sawmill town, having a baseball club, a recreation hall for Negroes, a YMCA recreation hall for whites, a theater, bowling alleys, two churches, and schools for both races through the seventh grade. Stokes estimated Bon Ami's maximum population at 1,500 persons. 

It would be a terrible waste if knowledge about Western Louisiana's old sawmills should be allowed to die. By 1925, Beauregard Parish had become a wasteland of cutover pine stumps, and like two hundred other mill towns, Bon Ami became only another ghost town whose very name was soon forgotten except by a very few elderly persons who may have been born there. And perhaps only an abandoned cemetery is all that exists there today. Bon Ami and the other Western Louisiana ghost towns were a way of life for 40 years, and the stories about them should be accumulated and published somewhere while such is still possible to do.

In the latter part of the 19th century and first two decades of the 20th, numerous towns in Southeast Texas and Southwest Louisiana began, prospered and then died out when thousands of acres of forest were cut, the trees sent to local sawmills and made into lumber to build towns and cities all across the country. The timber industry was dependent upon railroads, and when the trees were gone, so went most of the railroads.

Polk County sheriff lays it all out

"Get yourself an adult beverage and enjoy not only the description that Sheriff Grady Judd does about the chain of felonies committed by a felon, but the verbal butt whipping he applied to a journalist."
