  1. Gray death is making its way through west campus. We were warned today that if we find gray powder in the building to leave it and call 911.
  2. Both sides of 55 between camp wood and uvalde are covered in blooming sage. It’s awesome right now. More so than normal.
  3. Yes please.
  4. Foster kids project needs help clearing the list. http://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/1QF3R2XJ2FO70?ref_=wl_share
  5. We get AUF funds in our budget. Or we used to before they were repurposed for student support recently.
  6. Hey, we (or Aggy) may try to elevate SFA soon…does that count?
  7. About a month ago we were having a team building afternoon at punch bowl social at the domain. Very soon after we got there they started evacuating the place and people were running from the bowling lanes. The staff came from the maintenance area behind the pins crying and screaming. They had just seen their coworker get beheaded by the pin reset machine. All of our future events with punch bowl have been canceled and apparently that location will be closed for some time. I don’t know if they are back open yet or not.
  8. Arrived to this today at Brazos. Plot thickens.
  9. Wonder if he drives a black truck. I saw one was booted in Brazos earlier this week. Those guys drive crazy in that garage and do not care about busting through the exit arms either. Then there’s the white car that sometimes has a couple of people in the trunk coming from the parking area in front of pac where the guys go to eat lunch. It’s a wonder one of them hasn’t been killed yet.
  10. Florida forest service is on site to relieve crews at the wimberley fire. No structures lost yet as of the judge’s update earlier this afternoon. Though he showed in his video how close one house got to being burned. It went right up to the deck and foundation.
  11. It’s showing on zoom earth now. Check out the Fredericksburg fire. Smoke blowing for over 100 miles. Zoom Earth http://zoom.earth/#view=30.53674,-98.37648,9.48z/map=live/overlays=heat,wind
  12. There’s also an Austin Reddit thread for clearing teacher’s Amazon wish lists.
  13. There has been a new widened fire break put in place on the north and east side of the fire as well as “many” rounds of the orange fire retardant from plane drops. They are throwing all resources into keeping it from spreading that direction.
  14. At what point do we start worrying about the fires headed right at the two reactors in glen rose? Too late? Prepare our anuses?
  15. I took the question as level of politician and level of care by the Japanese populace. Not necessarily aligned with politics and same color.
  16. Why is Jerry Meyers at MTSU? 17 all Americans at South Carolina. And he goes to MTSU as an assistant?
  17. Showed it to my cousin and he said, “Late May? Holstein cow with a stillborn hanging out. They’ll roam until they die somewhere.” Me: ok then. Sorry I asked. Back to watching this wonderful baseball game.
  18. The plane is out of the water as of 9pm.
  19. He’s not even in the top 100 draft prospects according to most sites. MLB draft is not like nfl. I don’t even try to guess where someone like Ivan might go. Here’s the mlb.com draft stock write up. couting grades: Hit: 50 | Power: 60 | Run: 30 | Arm: 50 | Field: 40 | Overall: 45 “Melendez starred for two seasons at Odessa (Texas) JC before transferring to Texas in 2021, when he led the Longhorns with 13 homers, including a ninth-inning game winner off eventual national champion Mississippi State at the College World Series. Scouts viewed him as a one-tool player and his bonus expectations didn't line up with their evaluations, so he dropped to the Marlins in the 16th round and declined to sign. He has been phenomenal as a fourth-year junior and has a chance to win the NCAA Division I triple crown and lead in all three slash stats after finishing the regular season at .421/.531/.941 with 28 homers and 85 RBI in 54 games. With the strength in his 6-foot-3, 225-pound frame and an uphill right-handed swing, Melendez is geared to drive balls in the air and produces plus-plus raw power that plays from foul pole to foul pole. He doesn't have standout bat speed, so there are some concerns about how he'll handle quality velocity against more advanced pitchers. He's doing a much better job of controlling the strike zone this spring and has improved his ability to do damage against breaking balls and changeups. Melendez still doesn't offer much value beyond his bat and a righty-hitting first baseman is the least attractive profile for pro teams. He's a well below-average runner with limited range and an average arm. He's an adequate defender at first base and his only other alternative is DH.”
  20. I’m squinting more than the catcher trying to see this shit.
  21. Ump wanted to ring him up so bad even after the review.
