  1. I still marvel at the fact that the Buttercream Dream and 3 toes live in the same place.
  2. I didn't think that ad could be worse. Then I saw the TV version and it made me irrationally angry. Now they're sparing me to death with his singing it. Spike to me head
  3. The go to response has been to check Psychology Today for your area. Unless you have gotten a PM from someone.
  4. I wanna see this one. https://www.kxan.com/investigations/prominent-local-businessman-arrested-in-austin-accused-of-arson/
  5. Scared the cat when Robo scored.
  6. 2, 4-D, 2-ethylhexyl ester 1.108% Mecoprop-p acid 0.167% Dicamba acid 0.071% I had to go look at the specs. That's the active ingredients list. It's the same as regular 3 way post herbicide. 2,4-D, mecoprop, and dicamba. It's not going to root prune like the pre. It looks like you cut more than a third of the height and got into the stems.
  7. Here's another link. Wolfpack includes the combos. Some of these can be mixed at home and some are not available to homeowners. https://turf.ces.ncsu.edu/take-all-root-rot-in-turf/#:~:text=Overview,for golf course putting greens. "Maintain soil at pH 5.5 to 6.0 on intensively managed St. Augustinegrass lawns. To reduce the risk of disease, apply no more than 10 to 20 pounds of lime per 1,000 square feet of turf per season. Use acid-forming fertilizers on sites with near-neutral to alkaline soils (pH 7.0+) to lower the soil pH. Topdressing with sphagnum peat moss has proven to aid in the recovery of take-all damaged St. Augustinegrass lawns. Evenly distribute 1 bale of sphagnum peat moss per 1000 feet2 of lawn." https://www.aces.edu/blog/topics/lawn-garden/take-all-root-rot-on-st-augustinegrass/ It likes high pH. There's a lot of alkaline soil in Texas. Unless you are in the Piney Woods you are not likely to achieve a 6. My last soil test in the Frisco/McKinney area was a 7.75. The rec was 4# of sulfur per thousand. There's some evidence that suggests that peat moss inhibits the disease. One bale per thousand is pretty cheap. It's worth the investment. There's no consensus on remedies. Hence the laundry list of options. It was only described and named a disease in the 90s though there's evidence of outbreaks in buffalograss in Kansas described in 43. Back then it was called "the yellows". You might have to curtail pre-emergent or limit it to the coldest, sleepiest time of the year. Post spray doesn't seem to be detrimental. I had a pathology prof at a field day downplay its threat to StA. I tuned out at that point. "Why don't you get out of the lab and stop trying to control all the variables. Get out there in the field and see what it's doing."
  8. E-615-Take-all-root-rot-factsheet.pdf I'll add more info later
  9. Tied up again Dangle is trending on YouTube. 177k views since last night.
  10. Woke up to the post game. Had to rewind. 120 in the morning
  11. Lowe is one of several Republican House members and candidates who have suggested the state could charge women who have an abortion with felony murder of a child. He said as much again Wednesday. Then he turned right around and claimed he never said it. --- In Texas, that would be the felony criminal law against baby killing. The penalty is either death or life without parole. Yet in the very next breath, Lowe complained that: “People say, ‘You want to kill women who have an abortion.’ That is the sickest thing I’ve ever heard.” Nobody seemed to notice the blatant backflip. ___ O’Shea began, “I’m not running against Representative Goldman. I’m running to be obedient to God.” ___ After the forum Wednesday, he said: “The reality of it is that Ukraine lost. They never were going to be able to have the manpower or the weaponry.” The U.S. should have sought peace, he said. America can’t afford the aid.
  12. Another shot of the arrest of the cameraman
