Howdy, mofos! Today is Valentine’s Day; therefore, here are some facts about Saint Valentine:

  • He is the patron saint of courtly love, epilepsy, and beekeepers.
  • He was arrested for secretly performing Christian weddings for couples, thereby allowing the husbands to escape conscription into the Imperial Roman army.
  • February 14th is actually the day he was executed (romantic, right?).
  • Most of the legends associated with Saint Valentine were invented by Geoffrey Chaucer.

Also, here’s a humorous article about Victorian “Vinegar Valentines.” You’re welcome.

Monday’s daily. Big news to announce! Today is my last day.

AgentWD40 will be taking over TexansChat, and will be moderating the site as well as managing its daily workings. He’s going to do a great job, and we know it’s in good hands moving forward.

I figured it’s a new era with a new Texans head coach, a great fresh start for our Texans, and so it seemed fitting to coincide with that via a new era for Texans Chat. The timing feels right.

This week he and I will be working to transfer over the odds and ends of this place. I’ve invited him to be an Admin in the HyvorTalk console, so when he accepts the invitation he’ll be able to get into Hyvor and manage everything including moderation of the comments sections. I’ll be working on fully transferring the Texans Chat HyvorTalk account over to him this week.

For those who contributed funds, I’m transferring those funds over to him, as well, so please rest assured that your dollars are in his care & he’ll be using those to pay the monthly hosting and monthly HyvorTalk bills to keep Texans Chat going.

Along those same lines, this week I’ll be sorting out how to stop receiving contributions from you guys and gals. AgentWD40 can then communicate with y’all about this area of involvement that you can discuss with him and one another in the coming days and weeks.

I have a couple projects that over the past year it’s been tugging at me to be more heavily involved with my time and energy to further evolve into those interests in 2023 and beyond. The Texans Chat community deserves to have a person running it who can provide more of himself than I am able to provide, and so above all else I want the best for the best bunch of misfits I’ve ever known in all my years of being involved in various Texans-centric folks.

I’ll try to drop by and say hello, but for now I’ll be taking a leave of absence as I use my spare time getting Josh set up on numerous account transfer type tasks over the next week or whatnot. One last thing: GO TEXANS!
