The hero of San Jacinto was elected as governor of Texas in 1859. A firm Unionist, Houston refused to take an oath to the Confederacy and was removed from office in March 1861.

Sam and Margaret Houston left Austin with seven of their eight children ages 3 to 15 years old. The family went to their farm in Chambers County and then to Huntsville where they had previously lived.

Though neither of the Houstons cared much for the 10-room Steamboat House, they rented it in late 1862. The following summer Houston was bedridden with a high fever in the sweltering East Texas heat. He eventually succumbed to pneumonia at age 70. His funeral was held the next day in the upstairs front parlor with only 12 mourners in attendance. He was buried at Huntsville’s Oakwood Cemetery.

"The Ants" isn't casual reading, it's a dense compendium of everything known about ants, covering every known genus and their morphology and behavior. There's a key, too, so you can identify ants based on their morphology, assuming you ever feel like counting antennomeres or tarsal segments.

I know you are, but what am I?!

There are a lot of us non-techies here, but you sure outnumber us

E.O. Wilson is a monster scientist. His book "The Ants" is mind-bogglingly thorough

Looks amazing, and I'm jealous. Question though...when you're emitting smoke, isn't that roof going to partially trap it and keep it down where you're working and breathing? I've considered something similar, but part of my plan would be extending the exhaust pipe through the roof or building in some other kind of ventilation.

I had my smoker under a big tree once and found even that prevented the smoke from dissipating when there wasn't a strong wind

Early 1900s

"Safe" as far as legislative appropriations. That's not going to stop Trump from capriciously firing or laying off swathes of people
