  1. My teens are using it on a regular basis and inviting their friends over. The whole point was creating a destination hangout for the high school crowd. It helps a lot. Now adding in a large screen TV in the game room to create a hang out room.
  2. What are the real implications. I have only read that memo but it raises some questions. What is the impact on corporate property taxes? What is the real effect on homestead properties and is there a breakdown by property value? Does it only affect high value properties (rich donor class)? What is the impact on public school funding? I could imagine this as possibly a Trojan horse, one-two punch, along with Abbott’s priority of sending public education tax dollars to private schools to effectively “defund public schoolS.
  3. Mine is vertical and the pool is 2 years old. Pool builder acknowledged it but been silent for a while. Has a lifetime warranty for original owners (me)
  4. Should go after the one that used their user interface first
  5. Make the Trump deal a Suspended sentence of 20 years with conditions like he cannot raise money, speak publicly or post on social media.
  6. We have a lot of combat veterans from 2002 through 2022 to look after. Visiting San Antonio and seeing the number of amputees that stay around for access to the Army medical center is eye opening.
  7. We usually have a family of Screech Owls in our back yard. Last year they had 3 babies and all 5 would fly though our yard and roost in our large oak looking for prey as the littles learned to hunt.The tree picture is a Hawk roosting where the Owls like to sit. It’s usually too dark to capture the owls but one night I got an owl sitting on a cooler lid.
  8. The next day hiking around his place I saw this baby vulture under a rock outcrop. It showed signs of having been there a while and was being fed. We saw the parents fly in and out of the area the day before. It made this eerie hissing moaning noise at me. When I first saw it I thought it might be an owl but it turned towards me and saw its head.
  9. Found this Painted Bunting in the middle of the road in Lampasas Co. It could not fly and I assumed it was hit by a car. I picked it up and took it to my friend’s place and let it rest in the shade, gave it water drops from my finger and it eventually recovered and flew away about an hour later. At first just over the fence into the grass and then over our heads for a flyby and then into a tree.
  10. The American Socialist White People’s Party “The Jew is using the Blacks… What are you going to do about it?”
  11. Sign should say “Trump supporters and other fascist groups. “ You know, because the Venn diagram of Maga is completely inside the Fascist circle.
  12. Took my family to visit Chicago for 3 days this week. Nobody got shot. Saw the setup for the NASCAR race but could barely see Lake Michigan’s due to Canada wildfire smoke.
  13. He was right about what Russia/Putin would do but not about their incompetence or the results.
