Ark Encounter, which unveiled the 510-foot-long model in 2016, says that heavy rains in 2017 and 2018 caused a landslide on its access road, and its five insurance carriers refused to cover nearly $1 million in damages. In a 77-page lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court, Ark Encounter asks for compensatory and punitive damages. The ark itself was not damaged and the road has been rebuilt, according to the suit. The park is open, said Melany Ethridge, a spokeswoman at the attraction’s Dallas-based public relations firm, who only laughed when informed that Ark Encounter had sued over flood damage. "You got to get to the boat to be on the boat," she said.

They lost me when the discontinued their Saturday morning outdoor block, especially Jerry McKinnis' "The Fishin' Hole" and "Walkers Cay Chronicles".

Im gonna agree with Newhart and St. Elsewhere. I also liked Big Bang Theory's final chapter, so what do I know?

This guy is a solid citizen, a good student, and a willing leader/role model. Mrs. BMB had him in eighth grade art class, and thinks he's the real McCoy. If he grows just a bit over the next three years, he could enter beast mode. Also has offers from UTSA and Arkansas on the table.

Seems to have lost a little weight.

Talkeetna is the best place I've ever been. Ever. King Crab Pizza from Mountain High Pizza Pie is the best thing I've ever eaten. Ever.

Spike wrench.

And a uti.....

Getting my 93 Landcruiser back this week I hope. She's had the dents pounded out, roof re-welded, and then repainted by a restoration guy. Pics when available.

I met Joe Greene and his wife in the Orlando airport. She was awesome.

It’s three-dimensional parody, bud.

My wife of forty years is a Tech grad. Guns up!

Friday was a beautiful day, and I made the two and a half hour drive to the old home place in Young County for some spring cleaning. We're going to re-purpose one of Granddad's old deserted sheds, and it was a mess. After removing all the junk, I started the scooping/sweeping/ cleaning phase of the operation. All that remained on the floor was an ancient, gold spray-painted three unit shelf. As I was sweeping around it, I noticed an old ski rope curled underneath the bottom shelf-maybe two inches off the ground. "Strange" thought I-"I don't remember putting a ski rope there". Out of monkey curiosity, I poked the rope with the end of my broom-and it began to move. Again, I thinks:"Must be one of our friendly rat snakes". The head emerged, revealing a broad, plated, triangular shape that looked oddly like a diamondback rattlesnake. "Shit" says I, and I jumped away. I had the presence of mind to pull the shelving unit over with me as I moved. My dynamite crate full of antique glass telephone line conductors went crashing to the floor, shattering this way and that, and I gave not a fuck. I learned years ago not to enter that barn without a farm implement nearby, and my trusty hoe was leaning near the door. The snake was trying to exit from under the shelf, and looked enormous, I beat the shit out of it with my hoe, smashing the head and eventually breaking the handle. Then, I fetched a nearby shovel, carried the still writhing snake out in to the grass, and finished the job. The crotalid, dead but still writhing, measured sixty three inches, and appeared to be in a family way. I love snakes as much as the next guy, but that snake, in that barn, less than sixty yards away from the yard where my dogs and grandkids play-is going to die every time. I'm getting a little sick of rattlesnakes.

Couple of years ago, I caught a twelve inch walleye on a yellow popper below the PK dam.

James Butler Bonham was born in South Carolina, and was a true hero of the Alamo. He was one brave mf'er, and should not be defiled by such trivial bull shit. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Bonham

Tear shed.

Boomer, indeed.

I bless the rains down in Africa.

https://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-6777961/Billionaire-diamond-trader-65-dies-penis-enlargement-surgery.html A billionaire diamond trader has died after 'suffering a heart attack' during a penis enlargement operation in Paris. Ehud Arye Laniado, 65, was at an unidentified private clinic on the Avenue des Champs-Elysees in the French capital on Saturday when complications during surgery proved fatal. The experienced diamond expert's heart attack happened when a substance was injected into his penis, Belgian media reported. I'd like to make a clever remark, but I've been rendered speechless.

That whale’s been missing since 1945.
