DDD Dad

Perhaps. But that's his brother saying that. Speaks volumes.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/oaSRMMvrNJauX6ot/ Barton Tinsley Simpson · Until Brad chooses to cooperate, we will continue cooperate for him, as we have from the very beginning of this heartbreaking ordeal. This is not how he was raised, and this is not who we are. Our parents instilled in us the values of honoring and protecting others, and they are truly remarkable people. The devastation this has caused to our family is overwhelming. Brad's refusal to cooperate is unacceptable. My sister and brother-in-law have stepped up to take care of the children, but the impact on our parents has been shattering. Our lives have been irreparably changed. We will not rest until we find Suzanne. Barton T. Simpson

csb my little brother used to date the girl in that commercial.

Did you skip Season 2 or something?

I'm flabbergasted that I never knew his brother had siblings. I always assumed he was an only child.

Her BIL is a pledge brother of mine. Terrible situation for the family.

I’m happy for him and all but Portnoy is a colossal DB.

There must be some kind of mistake.

High tide! Looks like it's moved in quite a bit since the last time I checked on that one a couple of hours ago.

Have we located a blue shed yet for this storm?

I think the only issue is how crowded the trains will be. On game days they get completely packed as you get closer to downtown and getting on at a station close to Fair Park can be a challenge. I imagine Friday will heavy traffic on the trains but likely manageable. If the train you're getting on at Park Central (635 & 75) is the same line that runs to Fair Park entrance (I think it's the Green line but that's just from fuzzy memory) you'll probably be fine on the way in, but you may have to wait a train or two before you can get on leaving. They run around every 5 minutes during the Fair if I recall correctly, but I imagine DART has schedules posted you can check on the website. If you download the DART app you can purchase your train tickets (electronic ticket on your phone) in advance.

Dammit. ETA: Uncle and his family bugged out of Bradenton yesterday to stay with friends in Orlando. Hope everyone else there does something similar.

We went a week ago (Tuesday evening) and grabbed one near the Crazy Mouse. No line, and the lady working made both of them fresh dipped and fried in front of us. Easily the best corny dog I’ve ever had. /csb

Dallas has a ton of local propositions about which I know nothing. Guess I will have to start doing some research.

This. Andrew hit on August 24. We didn’t get power back at the house until the first week of October. Downtown Miami was without water for over a week.

Spent lots of time at Holmes Beach on Anna Maria growing up. Grandad was the episcopal priest there. Forever it was a sleepy little beach town with all of the money in Sarasota. Uncle still lives in Bradenton. I am hoping he and his family bug out.

Does turning on the "local awareness" help prevent irrelevant alerts?

I grew up in Miami, was there for Andrew, and still have family there. I have no desire to retire there for numerous reasons (storm risk and clean up among them), and had thought hard about a move to....western NC to avoid all of that.
