  1. Hearing firsthand from a friend last night who had boys in the rafters of their cabin at La Junta did it for me. I told her to tell the boys that they’re heroes in my book for being brave and watching out for each other.
  2. My wife and I just got home from a long walk with our dog and, of course, this tragedy was our main topic of conversation. One of the things we talked about was human nature’s desire to immediately assign blame in times of tragedy. We see it here on this thread. I’ve been really emotional about this event for a variety of reasons and I’ve been trying very hard to not immediately jump into the blame game. My thought is that there will be plenty of time for investigations, post mortems and so forth later. Right now, I’m trying to keep my mind on the victims and their families. All of that said, I just hope that something good comes from this. I hope it’s not another Uvalde where children’s lives are lost in vain.
  3. Has Dear Leader made any statements about the floods or missing children?
  4. I think you’re right.
  5. I’m so happy for you and your family. The counselors and staff at La Junta were heroic.
  6. My brother, please understand that people are trying to help however they can. You are an angel that you can help directly. Not everyone can be boots on the ground. Donating money to an organization like WCK will provide meals to hungry victims and relief workers. Let’s be careful to not crap on those trying to help.
  7. We just have to hope they’re safe on higher ground and the search and rescue pilots rescue them.
  8. Too soon, bro.
  9. Friend was able to pick up their two boys that were at La Junta from a church in Kerrville. This happened within the last hour.
  10. I have a British buddy that just moved to the US recently. On a group text thread that he’s on, I sent “Happy Independence Day to those who celebrate!”
  11. This 👏 is 👏 not 👏 a 👏 dating 👏 site
  12. They have an excellent marketing team which, in and of itself, should tell people something.
  13. Warts farts and all.
  14. HEB should run disaster recovery logistics for the state.
  15. Fuck. That’s the number that died in Wimberley in 2015.
  16. Holy fuck. That’s awful. Did they give any updates on how many have already been rescued?
  17. I’ve contributed a bunch to this thread. I was the first person to post about the summer camps and have added a bunch of content related to it.
  18. 100% agree. That’s what I’m attempting to do.
  19. They will absolutely not realize that. They will 100% blame Biden.
  20. Yeah, I had the same thought about all the horses. Didn’t post it because human life is more important, but I worry a bunch won’t survive.
  21. Two hours ago you were sure it was Mystic and now you’re sure it’s La Junta. Quit posting unsubstantiated information, Rex.
  22. Yes, but no idea if it had anything to do with my no BS approach to assigning liability for bed bugs.
