  1. My sister-in-law grew up in this Indianapolis house. The architect told her parents that he always wanted to design something based on Truilli architecture, and they told him to go for it....
  2. Looking for Torbush rep emoji.
  3. Done. Chai x 10.
  4. Was just in the car for a bit and listened on FOX for about 5 minutes. The lying and distraction is strong. The two big nuggets I heard in that brief time were (1) Nothing like this has ever happened before, and (2) the Federal response was immediate and perfect.
  5. Texas Monthly. Litigation - even expensive litigation - ending 13-14 years ago, should not be a factor in this tragedy. Certainly, no impact on government failures. And, hard to imagine it prevented them from staying up and remaining plugged in, posting a watchman, etc. on a night that called for it.
  6. Search of Kerr County District Court cases - nothing recent or active.
  7. The stories are endless. Here is just one of those coming across my social media feeds:
  8. Maybe I was not clear, but this misses the point. Highest all time refers to the high point. What about the lower elevations that HAVE flooded in the past. How many of those killed were at those lower elevations, and were not killed by historic flood levels? Simply saying this was unprecedented is a cop out.
  9. But, were those closest to the river, like the Mystic cabin swept away, higher than the 1987 flood? We may not yet know the details, but there is zero question that some lives were lost due to negligence.
  10. Daughter is first year counselor at a camp she attended as a camper for many years. All connected devises are banned for campers. Conversely, staff are REQUIRED to have their phone on them at all times.
  11. This is true. It is also true that this weather event underscores the stupidity of DOGE related cuts, as well as the more recent decision to end sharing of military weather data with civilian agencies and the private sector. The information that was available (and ignored) this time, may not be available next time.
  12. And, nausea/vomit emoji.... Gutted!
  13. lawsuits > bankruptcy > land sold to real estate speculator/developer....
  14. Great advice, which I have accepted for April 2026. Looking forward to it!
  15. Gift wrapped invitation With a fucking bow!
  16. Total ban on marketing and sale of e-cigarettes (broadly defined) containing “any cannabinoids, alcohol, kratom, kava, mushrooms, tianeptine, or any derivatives of those substances.”
  17. Will be about 2 hours away for a family reunion that weekend. If I can score tickets, I (and tOSU in-law) will be there.
  18. I’m down to my last few tomatoes. It’s been a pretty good year.
  19. Their friends have been on domestic cruises (and at younger ages) - no alcohol.
  20. Bad strategy. These will be among the least desirable cruises out of Galveston or South Florida. My current focus is on convincing daughter it is not a good plan.
  21. I am working on daughter. She is away for the summer as a camp counselor and I am texting her screenshots of comments here. She thinks you bastards are a hoot. Hopefully, she isn't savvy enough to google quotes and ID both Surly and Tonesky. I am developing some gravity towards one or two Campania base locations, with opportunities for day trips to Pompeii/Herculaneum and Paestum.
  22. Thanks, this validates my initial sense that IF we choose to cruise, Virgin Mediterranean seems the best option. I understand that the average passenger is older, but what about 18-21 year olds? If we do this, will there likely be young adults my kids can latch on to, or will they be hanging with geezers like their parents?
