You're probably already aware of this, but just in case, I am watching a
new series on Paramount +, starring Billy Bob Thornton, in which I think
you'd be interested.

"Landman," about oil drilling, is set in Fort Worth and filmed on
locations you probably recognize. Plus, it's excellent.
There are scenes at The Fort Worth Petroleum Club, TCU, Faith Community
Hospital in Jacklow, the Hotel Driver and the River Crest Country Club
in the first three episodes.

Donald John Trump comes to mind, who repeatedly calls climate change a
"hoax" (in order to attract support from working-class Americans who's
jobs could be affected). Has everyone heard about the recent abnormal
major flooding in Spain and in the UK.

"Fossil fuels – coal, oil and gas – are by far the largest contributor
to global climate change..."

Apologies, Bill, I guess I did miss this post. I haven't seen it but I
have been told about it by friends. But I have performed in both The
Fort Worth Petroleum Club and the River Crest Country Club.

Jim is not from there originally, so would he be considered a native
just because he lives there now?

This is true but, to my amazement, I have lived here over 50 years now
so they may not deport me -- yet.

It would be pretty funny if Abbott got ICE to ship Jim back to Ohio.

The U.S. War Department officially named Fort Worth on November 14,
1849. Named after General William Jenkins Worth, a distinguished
officer and war hero who served in the Mexican-American War.
In January 1849, General Worth proposed building a series of forts to
protect the Texas frontier. Unfortunately, he passed away from cholera
in May 1849 and the task passed to Major Ripley A. Arnold who set up
a post initially named Camp Worth...

In the late 1800s, during a period of economic hardship, a Dallas
attorney named Robert E. Cowart wrote a letter to the Dallas Herald,
describing Fort Worth as so quiet that he saw a panther asleep on Main
Street. This comment was intended as an insult, suggesting that Fort
Worth was a sleepy, lifeless town.
However, instead of taking offense, the people of Fort Worth embraced
the panther as a symbol of resilience and strength. The panther became
an enduring emblem of the city, appearing on police badges, public
buildings, and even inspiring the name of local businesses &
landmarks.

FYI. There was not an internet when I learned this and could copy and
paste it. The fact is nobody ever saw a panther.

FYI ...nobody ever saw a panther {at the time in Fort Worth}.
In the late 1800s, Texas had numerous reports and legends of panther
sightings, particularly in the Piney Woods region of East Texas.
However, these "panthers" were likely not the black panthers often
depicted in folklore. Instead, they were more likely to be cougars
(also known as mountain lions) or jaguarundis, which are smaller wild
cats with dark fur. Cougars are native to Texas and have historically
been present throughout the state.

Oops, sorry Jim, I made an error of judgment here.

Nope. Nothing against you personally. Just a fact that we didn't used
to be so instantly informed or disinformed.
