  1. Don’t blame the local authorities for those federally-funded grant denials….that was the Texas Division of Emergency Management’s fault. I bet those sumbitches who did that are making themselves scarce. https://www.usatoday.com/story/news/nation/2025/07/07/texas-flooding-kerr-county-flood-warning-money-denial/84499153007/
  2. I may have mentioned it on Shaggy years ago.
  3. Yep. Rubes gonna rube.
  4. Thanks, my son gets those regularly and passes them on to me. Will watch for it. Reminds me when I was at a summer school for Americans in Monterrey, Mexico in 1962 when two college students from Vanderbilt stopped by briefly to visit with some friends. They were driving a brand new beautiful BRG Jaguar XKE roadster and were on their way to tour all over deep Mexico including Yucatan for a full month. When they returned four weeks later to stop by our campus again, that car was beat all to shit with dents, caked with crusty dirt, and the exhaust pipe (held on literally with bailing wire) almost dragging on the pavement. Sad.
  5. Interesting link about the former Kerr County sheriff’s comments: https://archive.is/zhj5M
  6. Sorry. I’ll try to maintain proper posture.
  7. True, except the occasional snailmail bill and the monthly issue of the Executive Controller. At least the postal sorter of the carrier tosses those shitty card ads.
  8. Kerr County Hazard Mitigation Plan 2024 documents…… pages 35-50 are interesting, particularly what is not mentioned. https://legacy.co.kerr.tx.us/notices/docs/10-2024-KerrCountyHazardMitigationActionPlan.pdf
  9. Seems like it would be difficult to know how many RV campers & weekenders were in the area. They might know the number of reservations, but not the head count for each one.
  10. Maybe his mailbox is broken like mine has been for almost 6 months….
  11. I remember those! They made them with hardtops too.
  12. Sorry, but I can’t figure out how to use the spoiler feature for that.
  13. The Internet certainly brings out the gottdamned trolls & haters……
  14. That’s what separates them from civilized humanity.
  15. Prime example of those “adults” from A&M. I’m sure their parents are proud.
  16. Cow Creek…..isn’t that near Sunrise Ranch where Bevo lives?
  17. One of my great-nephews is an Austin fireman/emt. Some years ago he spent a harrowing time in the middle of the night with a colleague on the end of their truck’s ladder extended all the way out over Barton Creek fishing with grappling hooks the body of a female tubing enthusiast off the intake bypass grate, just above the swimming pool. Nephew is the father of four kids.
  18. As I posted earlier….. My niece, who is on staff at Camp Honey Creek, had to climb up a steep hill early Friday morning to get a weak cell phone signal so she could call out to report all their campers were safe in the main dining hall. Apparently the cell service down at camp level is non-existent, and their power was out. Luckily the water volumes in Honey Creek were not as bad as the rising further downstream at La Junta and Mystic. So their cabins evidently were not affected by flooding. At least that’s what I am speculating.
  19. Harold Hamm has been doing well enough to write a billion dollar check to his ex-wife. I am happy with a few crumbs.
  20. Crossposting from ipihb….
  21. Here’s who runs the LCRA: https://www.lcra.org/about/leadership/general-manager/
  22. And fire ant clusters floating everywhere.
  23. I heard the old Arrowhead camp was sold to the Governor of West Virginia after the owners died. He supposedly turned it into a family resort “compound”. Camp Honey Creek people are already talking about reopening for a term in the next week or two….if they can get power & water back on.
  24. ?? I don’t get it. Was that supposed to be funny?
