    If they have the ability, they should get the fuck out of there. 

    In your defense, I'm assuming you're giving them hard currency in return. That's as helpful as anything else you could do short of sponsoring them for a green card. 

    It all feels very very helpless. Heck, I'm grateful to have this message board, otherwise I'd be going crazy with my own thoughts.

    I know there are long lines for gas.  We are looking into options to help hopefully it will trickle up to C-level.

    Allergies kicking up... re: video.

    Watched it unfold while on a track campout in the middle of a cow pasture in Gatesville, Tx.  Coaches brought a TV and generator.  It was quite the sight.  A huddle of people in the middle of nowhere watching this incredible event unfold.  I remember that the last 2 minutes seemed like 2 years.

    Thanks for this Beau!

    Cedar Ridge?  That weather was not good.  My son was almost a full second off his PR in the 100 m, the conditions just sucked.

    Kyle.  Granddaughter ran her slowest time ever by 3-4 seconds in the 100 meter hurdles.   

    Thankfully tomorrow's schedule meet in Buda has been called off.

    They haze new teachers in HISD and my ex's first job was kindergarten at Louisa May Alcott in Sunnyside. She got them to draw pics of their homelife and let's just say about half of them depicted violent felonies. Lots of bloody knives, a parent on the ground bleeding, and tears flying out of kids' faces. Horrifying. 

    I went to kindergarten at LMA in Sunnyside.  I can see things changing over the last 50+ years.

    Am I crazy or has it been windy as shit this winter?

    Windy as fuck.  Went to track meet last Thursday evening.  Temps were in the low 50s and dropped to mid 40s while there.  Walking back to the car at the end, there were 20-30 mph steady winds if not 30-40 and up... most miserable I have ever been in cooler-cold weather.  There was not at thing block it either.

    Back in January, as I was getting over what I assume was flu\RSV\cedar fever\corona***, wind gust blew my weber grill off the back porch.  (***I mention that because I thought I was going to die getting that sumbitch back on the porch)  It can be a bit of wind tunnel on my back porch but its still takes a lot to push that thing around.  I have had to retrieve once before in August of 2020 and that was because of microburst\tornadic conditions.

    They are spectacular

    Week or so ago they showed them prominently as she was reading a clue.  I said 'That's a helluva shot.'  Wife replied, "yep".

    The Indians are one of the worst teams I have ever witnessed and the amount of second chances they have gotten are unprecedented.  It's ridiculous.  I get they have to maybe stretch the show a bit but dang.

    Too many other animals that can kill you in Australia. Sharks have a lot of competition there. 

    Reminds me of 'Crocodile Hunter' and he did a show about the 10 deadliest snakes in Australia.  Handled all but 1 or 2 or 3 of them because a bite would mean pretty much instant death.  What really got me is that he found 1 or two (less deadlier) of them on his property.

  8. I would have thought shark attacks in Australia would have been a lot more than reported below.  

    Also, given the Florida breakdown and the number of people that visit places like Destin, Miami Beach, etc... that is pretty light too.

  9. Wife and I are both vaccinated, no boosters.  No known cases before these.  Both had it starting around the second week of January.  Thought it was Cedar Fever or even the flu.  Did not really suffer a lot.  My taste buds went out of whack and we both felt like we could not get enough sleep and did feel weak.  Have made it through about a week of not needing a nap about two hours after getting up.

    Anyways, fuck this stuff.

     

  10. I have family ties in Waco going back over 120+ years.  It's a great place to live growing up if you don't know anything else exists north of West or south of Lorena.

    Moved the family to Austin in 94 and never gave moving back second thought after graduating UT.  Our remaining parents still live in the area.

    That top 10 list in addition to the Tornado brings up a lot of recollections from my own memories as well as stories told to me.  

     

  11. Go China Spring! I actually saw that 78 team play. They lost to a higher classification school - Robinson. That Robinson team would have made a deep run if they would have had the two team per district rule then. The game itself was one of the best I have ever seen. Dave Campbell voted that CS team the best Class A team from the 70s.

    How close to the true story is it?

    I would say pretty damn close.  I watched 'Crime of the Century' and then this.  I think there are at least 1 or 2 things in the mini-series that were true that didn't get brought up in 'Crime of the Century'. 

    Spoiler

    On a side note, when my daughter was in the hospital a couple of weeks ago, I was noticing the pain level chart (faces expressing levels of discomfort) when the nurse walks in and asks her "What's your pain level?"  - i.e. the 'Fifth Vital Sign'.  Both introduced by Purdue.
