You're only *NOW* figuring this out?

If this doesn't piss you off, there is Ø hope for you. Trump says he intends to 'fix' something that isn't in ANY need of modification. The Lincoln Reflecting Pool. I can only assume Trump doesn't like this spot because it is where MLK Jr. made his famous speech? Oh, & he ALSO wants an "Arc de Trump" somewhere in D.C. https://www.wate.com/news/watercooler/trump-suggests-he-and-burgum-will-fix-lincoln-reflecting-pool/ It is insanely crazy that these vast # of things fall under one main topic instead of standalone things. The destruction of America [both physically / figuratively AND institutionally] continues with willing participation from idiots & assholes.

And? ...what are we not understanding & what is on fire there in the lower L?

Unfortunately our Cub unit suffered from a few things. A Webelos 2 / AoL patrol decided to move en masse to a Troop that while in our area, wasn't the connected unit (P-101 >>> T-101) & that cut 12 full AoL Scouts from tre Troop & their Patrol leader didn't notify us until maybe 1 week before Blue & Gold / Crossover. Then, we had a District rep who was grwatly interested in spiking new Cub units & that was to the detriment of the 2 existing units & how new Scouts were recruited (assigned a singular elementary per Pack) vs. the prior & effective both units (us & the one other) "both units could attend the 3 schools on Meet - the Teacher / Back to Scool" & draw from that experience. With a new 3rd Lack, their CC (who came from our Pack as a Den Scouter) told everyone that "if you attend ____ school, you *HAD* to join their Pack & as a result we lost Cubs fom our Pack We also suffered GREATLY during Covid & I am of the assertion that was due to the (then) Committee Chair who never seemed to think the time was right to have a recruitment event (she was coming in as a first year CC & thought Spring was going to work but of course that's"windibg down for a Summer pause to Cubs) & all Dens initially were encouraged by National initially to Zoom in where possible & do handbook activities relevant to rank individually & with parents. As a result, our pack went from around 5 or 6 Dens + both Webelos for an August / September number of around 70 to 90 Scouts down to a combined 2 Webelos Patrols of maybe 4 (Weebs 1 & ONE AoL)) & one small Den for Bobcat - Tiger - Bear. & That was mostly comprised of the truly committed parents. As a result, the graduation upon to the Troop suffered & they are trying to recovered. -

Why did you go to dinner? Don't do that. You should be eating chips, guacamole & salsa from your couch.

The Pack invested in a quality aluminum track a few years prior to my time as Cubmaster (1 year) & it is fully digital... ties into a computer for fast compiling & sorting of race winners, etc. Pictured, Scouter created "outlaws class P.D. "cars" he made over 3 different years.

Expect to pay @ least $ 20k for a well (& you're gonna need electricity .. tack on around $ 12,500⁰⁰ for poles, depending if you won't need too many to go in.). Go underground for the last 150 ft. Less chance of branch or tree falls (especially in a Hella freeze like we have had 2× in the past 5 years) & more attractive. It's also a good idea to go ahead & spend extra for the 240 v. connection in the event you want to juice a camper or Welder. Pedernales Co-Op is your ONLY choice for electricity & they are NOTORIOUSLY shitty about any incentives or buybacks for wind or PhotoVoltaic. We build pumphouse sheds on the regular & I suggest a well insulated one, @least an 8×8 so all sides are accessible for maintenance & youmu can store some stuff inside, with plywood interior walls, a slant roof & skylight directly over the wellhead. Use the power to run a heater in there & slap in some good L.E.D. lighting. *For a relatively accurate price on a well, call any company in the area & give them the address... they can get you a decent verbal estimate because with the # of wells registered with the state, they all share in the same geological data & will know your general area. ★★ Don't use Bee Cave Drilling, ★★ because the owner cut trees along our joint property line (with permission) for a 4 strand barb wire fence (Oaks to be trimmed as required in probably 20% of that line) but refused to spray ANY of the cuts to prevent Oak Wil AFTER i notified that his crew needed to complere this. So... F that guy. * * If you're W of Westcave Preserve & the Pedernales low water crossing floods, add around 35 minutes to your schedule for getting to Drip. Weekend traffic Westbound on HPR used to be a hassle around the actual Hamilton Pool Preserve & then Travis County Parks instituted a reservation system. I have Ø idea how much that helped things. From 12 & HPR, it's gonna be a similar distance H.E.B. if you go to either the Drip or Bee Cave store .. however IMO 12 is safer / less winding whereas HPR had some much needed widening completed in '24. If you have kids of a certain age (Tiger Cub" begins in Kindergarten), we have Pack & Troop 101@ Dripping Springs Methodist Church on RR 12 & we would be your closest Scouting America units... girls accepted for both & closer than any other units. The Seiders Brothers (YETI) Scouted through our units & one of them Eagled. Regardless of kids, if you have +50 acres, we would like to chat with you about camping opportunities for both units & can provide a Hold Harmless. We can bring our own water & porta-cans. * * Football won District & band came in with a " Superior" in some sorta important statewide competition. Top 10 out of 50, i think. Supposedly within 5 years or so we'll have a 2nd high school... dilution of football AND band is a major local argument. Supposedly back before Lake Travis had their own ISD, ½ of their kids went to Drip schools & once they DID get a HS, our Tigers would bea/ the Cavaliers on the consistently. Then a lot of DNA from former Longhorns & retired NFL started showi g up & the LT squads got good. What side of the ISD split / divide are you on? We have MAGA idiots on the school board (Olivia something or whatever) & 2 local residents were well known to LiveStreamon Facebook from inside the US Capitol on J6... then did a dirty delete soon after & said "nope, we didn't go inside." Plenty of moron red hatters here & Abbot⁶t tried to eliminate Erin Zwiener from her State House Representative seat. That shuffle put Carrie Isaac's back in (hyper corrupt... wasn't a full resident of Hayes & had a bogus "charity" for veterans that only helped something like ONE guy & the rest went to "administrative"). Erin was able to legislatively prevent Buda from slurping up all of Driftwood's water & Wimberly was equally concerned. *. * & That's the news from Rural Drip-Begone, where all the women are strong, all the men are good-looking, and all the children are above average. # # #

They aren't at all incorrect. The Texas State Constitution is actually QUITE SPECIFIC about who is the "Little Brother."
