    We’ve been out for over an hour now so I don’t know if it’s ercot or something else. Either way, everyone else is asleep and I’m getting drunk. Whatever happens, happens and there isn’t anything I can do about it. It’s why I have insurance. Hopefully it doesn’t get too bad. I’m mostly worried about my pool. Oh well, it’s covered in my policy too.

    Same. I think we live within a few miles of each other.

    My house (Centex Homes early 2000s build) could have been much better and more usable with a very small increase in total cost, but tract builders are just the worst. Even if we live in the South some things should just be required by code. For one thing, I hate that my water cutoff valve is fucking buried in the yard and there's no way to cut off water from inside the house.

     

    The code must have been changed recently. My cutoff is in the garage. I doubt my builder went above and beyond. 
     

    I also apparently have those fancy spigots shown a few pages back. Which is good because I don’t have a 1500w hairdryer. 

  3. Also, it looks like United is flying nonstop from IAH to JAC this summer most days of the week. Prices right now are around $500 which is pretty good unless Frontier is your thing. 
     

    Nonstop is a god send since I’ll be traveling with two kids now.

    Taking my family to Yellowstone and Grand Teton NPs in July this year.  Was going to stay in a cabin but have now decided to tent camp.  What campgrounds do you recommend to look at?  We can stay in either park or split the camping between the 2 parks.  Going to be there at the end of July.  TIA for any recs.

    I’d get your spot reserved now. The number of people in both parks last year during July was the most I’ve ever seen.

    SIAP Here’s one more excuse officially gone, even though we know they’re all debunked by experience around the country. 

     

    No that was just her personal opinion. Not an expert one according to Psaki.

    So we’re just not — she — the — Dr. Walensky spoke to this in her personal capacity.  Obviously, she’s the head of the CDC, but we’re going to wait for the final guidance to come out so we can use that as a guide for schools around the country.

    Most of my colleagues have been practicing attorneys for over a decade. A of their spouses have full time jobs too. Maybe 10% own. The rest are still saving for that first down payment.

    Self-selecting anecdote here, but I'm 38 and almost everyone I associate with has veered far left.

    How is this possible? What is the entry price of these homes your colleagues are looking to buy?
