  1. Cletus lives!
  2. The day I retired I set an auto reply that said something like "As of EOB today I will be retired. If you expect me to reply to an email after 10:00 am today, you will be disappointed." At the 3:00 pm farewell party the department director informed me that he and the city manager weren't fans of my auto reply. I really enjoyed hearing that.
  3. That's a lot of words to say, "Stop expecting me to stand up for what's right."
  4. Guess who gets to have his next colonoscopy on his birthday in a couple of weeks. Yay me! At least I'll get a good nap and big lunch on my birthday.
  5. Nothing sucks like a flooded wastewater plant. I just had a flashback to the aftermath of Harvey and a couple of other big rain events in my career. I imagine that there's ruined motors and electrical gear all over the plants that will have to be replaced. TCEQ has, or had, a list of A licensed operators who volunteer to help out in situations like this. Unfortunately, due to some family business I cannot do so right now. But I'm sure that the supervisors or directors of all of the affected plants have been in touch with TCEQ, so they should have some help coming.
  6. Done! You're a good hand, Bob Lives!
  7. I hope that you're right.
  8. The assumption that there will be an honest and complete examination of these events is very optimistic, in my opinion. I expect another "It could have been worse."
  9. Lol. She'll spend the time arguing that she's ready and you don't need to say a damn thing. Then spend the five minutes getting ready once you're parked, because she can't get ready while the car is moving. I mean, it should work your way. But it doesn't.
  10. It's probably been mentioned already, but I re-watch The Legend Of Boggie Creek once a year. Awful movie. I love it.
  11. We really need a WTF reaction.
  12. Don't let him get you, Brat!
  13. Fuck Russia with a rusty barbed wire dildo.
  14. No one here is rooting for Iran, or for the strike to have failed. There are reasonable voices calling for people to not instantly turn to the idea that Iran could not have possibly withstood the attack and will not strike back against so great a force. That BDA photo shows five holes in the ground, and not one damn thing more. No one here knows how much damage they did, or if any significant damage was done at all. Don't just assume that it was a smashing success and everything will be hunky dory from now on. History shows that to very rarely be the case.
  15. It's disturbing to me that I see so many statements here that sound like "He's a lousy archduke whose family didn't go to the funeral. Nothing's going to come of this." in 1914, or "All we have to do is kick the door in and all of Russia's rotten house will fall in." in 1942. We got to determine when, where, and how for the first strike. Iran will now determine how they respond to being attacked. If there is anything that history teaches it is that the scope and intensity of the response to an attack like this is entirely unpredictable. Hold on to your nuts. It's gonna get bumpy.
  16. Happy Juneteenth. Freedom is precious for everyone.
  17. That look. The mixture of "Oh, shit! I'm in trouble." and "Look at the power that I could wield!" She scares me. Also, not my kid, thank God.
  18. $100 fine, time served, and a pat on the back from the judge probably.
  19. Looks like the cops should have just followed her to her meeting with him, then bagged them both.
  20. I am happy as hell that trump's party turned into a bust, but I am unhappy that it came at the expense of the Army. This should have been a celebration for a fighting force that has done so much for our country. Yes, there's good and bad in the history of its use, but the Army has protected us from the likes of Jeff Davis, Tojo, and Hitler. It should have been able to celebrate without the celebration being highjacked by the orange clown. Happy Birthday, Army!
  21. Blew the doors off the place. They could have just waited for them to fall off.
  22. Yesterday at the Capitol was the first major protest that I have attended. I walked in a couple of small marches here in Navasota, but nothing big. I was impressed by how many old foggies like me I saw there, how many vets I saw, and how many American flags there were. Everyone was peaceful but determined and involved. And I loved the range of signs. "I'd call him a cunt, but he lacks warmth and depth" "I'm a fat bitch and I'm here to sit on some fascists" "Chinga tu MAGA" "Chinga tu Muro" "No person is illegal" It was inspiring. Now I have to get more involved back here at home.
  23. The assassin picked the wrong state to kill opposition legislators. Had he done it in Texas, hot wheels would have already pardoned him.
