  1. Just heard that next summer was to be Mystic's 100th Anniversary. This is true. Back in HS, my best buddy tried to drive us across a low water crossing on George Road in his little VW. Halfway through the car stalled out. We were about to go out the sunroof when he got the engine to turn over and he was able to drive the rest of the way across. The log that we saw float by was actually his front grill. We were extremely lucky to not have made the news that night. Weird connection to this event is that he went to Baylor and spent multiple summers working in the kitchen at Mystic. He met and wound up marrying the equestrian instructor from there.
  2. Heard from a colleague that authorities have recovered 13 bodies of missing Mystic campers. If true, not sure why that isn't out there with names held back but maybe that will come out in the next PC, which I think is scheduled for 2. Still hoping and praying for miracle for Lulu.
  3. Damn that would be hilarious. I know people who were gleefully dumping all kinds of money into Tesla earlier than year. They’ll take a bath on it. (These are not savvy market investors — they’re MAGA dipshits and I’m here for it, even though some of them are friends.)
  4. I don’t think Mystic will ever reopen.
  5. UT alum Ed Lavandera doing a live report now. He’s a good friend and an overall good dude. About the only thing positive I will say about CNN.
  6. No news is bad news indeed for those of us who wait.
  7. I fear the worst at this point. I can’t imagine. Praying for a miracle.
  8. Now hearing their entire cabin is gone. What that means, I don’t know. Jesus.
  9. Back to not knowing. The person I got this report from said she just heard from the aunt of one of the girl’s my friend’s daughter was with is confirmed dead. They play tennis together. Fuck me.
  10. Just got an update from another friend on this that Eloise (Lulu) has been found but is waiting to be rescued. Please let this be true.
  11. Eloise Peck is my wife’s best guy friend from college’s daughter.
  12. Just found out one of my wifes’s best friends from college’s daughter is/was one of the missing from Mystic. She might have been seen on dry land and waiting for extraction by helicopter.
  13. My folks had a lake house right below the damn many years ago. Agreed. God, I hope this is accurate.
  14. I was very good friends at UT with a girl in the family that mostly drowned that night. I think she, her husband and kids and maybe her sister survived. Everybody else drowned — both her parents, BIL and her nieces/nephews. It’s still upsetting to think about.

  17. Agreed with this. Lock him up forever and throw away the key. Be done with it. Don't have to deal with 20 years of appeals, etc.
  18. Las Palapas founder was murdered. https://www.expressnews.com/news/article/las-palapas-owner-edward-ron-acosta-kill-nephew-20408718.php https://www.mysanantonio.com/news/local/article/las-palapas-edward-ron-acosta-san-antonio-20403184.php
  19. I imagine it went a little like this:
  20. And what is needed to beat back this MAGA movement that will destroy America as we know it is a big fucking tent. Because Dotard's people are not going to just give this away in next years's mid-terms. They're in it to win it. Many of them have done or are doing things that deserve them being put against the wall when the merry-go-round stops but I'm sure non-MAGA will chicken out at the end and do what Charlie Wilson said about the US financing the Afghans' war with the Soviets: "... and then we fucked up the end game."
  21. https://clip.cafe/gimme-shelter-1970/why-are-fighting/ Mick: Why are we fighting? In the last few hours, it seems some of us have lost sight of the fact that all of us -- at least those not lost to the horrific MAGA movement -- face one common enemy: Trump and his supporters, who continue to wipe their asses with the US Constitution. This is FDR/America joining forces with Stalin/Soviets to stop the Nazis from taking over the world. We can go back to disliking each other and fighting once this evil is defeated. In the meantime, stop wasting your time and energy on things that do not fucking matter.
