It has been way too long since my last post, because I’ve been “tending to some rat-killing.” That’s an old expression that means “taking care of some unpleasant business that just can’t be put off any longer.” I picked up the expression from my old friend Karen Luder Edens, who grew up in Bay City, on the Gulf Coast a couple of hours south of Houston.
In the old days, I think they used guns and maybe dogs for rat-killing (and killed actual rats), but today we have to use telephones, the Internet, and the dreaded tech support to tend to our high-tech rat-killing. (Though, of course, we have those plastic bait-and-poison things for the actual rats.) So if we’re lucky, by the time you read this post the Talk Like a Texan blog will be safely moved to a new hosting service where it can be fully functional.
As they say in East Texas, I’m fixin’ to make it better.
