It ain’t like sight casting reds. I’ve learned that much. Be prepared to get your rig stuck in a tree, a shoreside willow, a submerged bush, on a rock, and then in the willow again. Then be prepared to generally not even know when a fish takes the fly. Best thing I can say is get a guide for your first time on a River. It’s a whole different world of mending, eggs, droppers and microscopic flies. And it is awesome. Those River fish fight like hell and will break your fly off quickly.

You want a rainout? I can get us a rainout.

Honorable mention has to go to this song. If you watch the video and piece together the story basically Jimmy Buffet cuckolds an aggy.

There is a logical gap here, and I can no longer remain silent. You started with “neighbor apologized, admitted fault…” and then jumped to “how soon can I get my money?” it is entirely possible that the insurance company reviewed the photos and reached an alternate conclusion. They do this for a living and see more accidents than you do. It is also entirely possible that the other driver gave an interview to his insurer that didn’t square with “admitted fault…” Here, in Texas, we have rights. Property rights, due process rights, all kinda rights and, so does the other driver, and so does his insurer. Until a judge and/or jury adjudicates the other driver liable, he/she owes you zip. “Yeah but he said he was liable…,” is evidence, but not the same as a judgment. At trial the driver could roll out “I was scared and excited and now, reflecting, I did nothing wrong.” And, when the judge/jury believes your son, maybe a teenage driver, and not that bs story, and finds in your favor, the insurance company may still have a basket of defenses. Examples include “that car/driver wasn’t insured, and the damage exceeds the coverage.” Im not saying you’re holding a losing hand, but I am saying all you’re holding right now is an accident report, a claim and a jacked up car. You gonna press your claim? I bet you’re not experienced at this game. My suggestion - Submit this to your carrier - they’re good at this game. Get the car repaired, and then when your rates skyrocket… beat the hell out of your child for causing this wreck and teach that reckless hazard a lesson. Or, maybe, it will all work out because the insurance company feels a sense of obligation to do right.

Tabasco Chipotle is the answer.

Your post takes up space yet fails to deliver. The Cholula of posts.

Cholula brings nothing to the table and is only marginally better than any random run of the mill Louisiana hot sauce.

Sitting down and writing a letter. Even a simple thank you, is a learned skill. My kids go to summer camp for a month. No phones, no internet, write letters home every day. They’re taught the gift isn't yours until you properly say thank you. Some places are still teaching this skill but it is a dying skill.

Turkey terrorizes D.C. residents on bike trail, drawing blood and sowing fear – New York Daily News (nydailynews.com) If there is one thing I know - this is not the turkey's fault - it's the owner's fault. People should learn respect for the turkey, it's a better judge of character than any teacher.

I really appreciate this insightful comment but, on reflection, I don't think I'm going to take any of this advice. Here's why. 1. You assume I haven't taught my children to treat animals with respect, and 2. You rank a random dog's ability to judge a child's character, above "teachers," and 3. I was talking about adding a can of pepper spray to a list of things carried on a golf-cart and your response seems to include a level of emotion that I'm not sure is deserved by my comment. Aaaaaand, since my post I learned that mail-carriers and utility company workers carry pepper spray, and are trained to use it. Apparently they're not convinced that a dog's "judge of character" is good enough. I wonder why. Which leaves me a choice - side with your uninformed self, or go with teachers, mail-carriers and utility company workers. I'm going to assume that their experience and education is superior to yours, and go with them.

When the lady with the two dogs was trying to collect them my wife said “those are cute - are they boxers?” The lady responded with a one word answer - “pit.” Now, maybe that lady was lying. Or maybe, like you suggest, she’s a big pussy and thinks anything’s a pit. My concern was a little different. When those dogs, or any dogs, decide to attack - and there is more than anecdotal evidence out there that dogs will attack - is there something a responsible parent can arm a 9 and 15 year old with that will give them a chance to fight off an attacking dog? So far the leader in the clubhouse is my suggestion of bear spray and a distant second is “pedal faster - retrievers bite too.” I’ve got no problem with gun rights or AR ownership. But I’m not giving that to my 9 year old for neighborhood activity.

We’ve got it all. Fire station, former Cowboys cheerleader, taco joint, Delta 8 smoke shop, dry cleaner, law firms, golf carts (for sale now - way too dangerous) and pit bulls.

Double post.

Ms. Durand can’t hear you. A pit mix ate her ears and face off.

This is my personal favorite. https://www.cbsnews.com/amp/news/jacqueline-durand-disfigured-attack-dogs-lawsuit/ she should have pedaled faster like deej.

You’re right. I should have thought of that. I’m going to sell the golf cart this very day. Thank you. Next question - if my kids are out riding their bikes in the neighborhood, or maybe a scooter or a skateboard, or maybe just out for a walk, and they encounter something dangerous. Not as dangerous as a golf cart mind you, but mildly dangerous, like say… a pit bull. If that were to happen, what are good tools my kids can use to defend against that pit bull?

That is your right, but be advised - team golf cart is preparing for war mf’er. We’re even arming the children.

Thread revive! We have a golf cart and drive around our neighborhood doing neighborly things. And sometimes my kids take it out. One side of my neighborhood has multiple homes where persons own pit bull like dogs. It’s not like I see one every day but last Sunday saw two, off leash. Young puppies but they won’t be for long. So, how do I protect my kids if they’re out in the golf cart and some pit bull decides it wants some action. 15yo and 9yo. I’m thinking a legit can of bear spray. Anyone got any better ideas?

What color loofah means what? I think I can figure out brown on my own.

Reading about the hog warts and kiss retirement communities has me thinking… 1. I don’t want to retire in one of these communities. 2. If I have to do so, buffet isn’t bad. I’ll take that over Harry Potter, Kid Rock or some of the other suck ideas on here. 3. I want to visit for a big weekend like Labor Day. Give me 3 days to just go drink, people watch and take it in. I’ll be like Saul Goodman running bingo. 4. If one must live in one of these communities… what is ideal? If you could get me a red dirt/Texas country version somewhere south of corpus on the coast, I might be in. Alternatively, I would take a Ben Harper/jack Johnson setup in Kauai.

I sat in an M3 in a showroom once, and out of habit I depressed the clutch and shifted the car from 1st to neutral. The salesperson, who didn't own a freaking thing in that building except his JC Penney tie, had heart-attack level rage at me. I'm no tranny synchro expert but I believe my move was ok. - salesperson was uppity and made it a point to shit on me. FU bro, I wanted a Grand Cherokee anyway.

since we’re all chiming in with hot takes, I’ll go. I’m on the fence on this one. On the one hand, this dude bought a station wagon which generally indicates he’s soft and resigned to hauling groceries car seats and a golden doodle, but On the other hand he bought a tear-ass German performance car that can blow the doors off of about 90 percent of the cars on the road, which tends to show he’s got some spunk. Then, he disguises this car as the slowest version of said soccer mommer, as a subterfuge, so that when he elects to unleash the beast, the shock and surprise of others, likely strangers, will be increased. He’s a showman. I think this is somewhat better than the guy that puts a wing and a muffler on a dodge neon. But probably south of the person that just has a badass car and doesn’t need to try to camouflage it. So there, I’ve seen worse, and seen better.

I believe you will find that, if over 40 and the recipient of adverse action, and then replaced by someone under 40, there arises a presumption of age discrimination. good employment lawyers may get you farther down the track than you anticipate. There are real tight timelines so don’t wait.

What are you going to do with the bones?

Yep. Did you see The Who that put up the horns at the end? Good show.
