  1. Forcefield won out today, storms crept up right on our cusp but just stayed south of us. But it would be a shocker even for me if we didn't get a large dose of rain over the next 4 days. Big low coming in, moving slow, lots to trigger heavy rain in the state. Starts Sunday but really picks up Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday. Tuesday is the big one it looks like.
  2. Looks like a complex of rain is moving up into us from SAT and points SW. Forcefield is really trying to knock it back, not quite succeeding. Good chance to get wet, my guess isn't too much, but enough to make puddles. This will hit around 4 or so. The complex is definitely picking up, not fizzling, so I'm expecting a few hours of light/moderate showers. Tomorrow a better chance, and strong storms possibly. Tuesday is particularly of note for severe weather. Better than "yeah, whatever" chance of a pretty wet workweek coming up. Don't think Sunday will be severe but could get rainy, esp. later in the day. Be back probably tomorrow early, or not, if nothing is up.
  3. The guy who invented Post-It Notes died: https://www.google.com/amp/s/amp.cnn.com/cnn/2021/05/14/us/post-it-note-spencer-silver-death-trnd/index.html
  4. Kinda like being named the winner of the Elephant Man Look-Alike Pageant.
  5. Doesn't really matter. It's not going anywhere in its present form. It'll eventually have pork, but less. Why? Joe Gandalf. Say what you want about DINO Joe, but he knows how to seize his moment, and he is doing it - and very well.
  6. Looks like they paid $5 million ransom? Bloomberg: Colonial Pipeline Paid Hackers Nearly $5 Million in Ransom. https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2021-05-13/colonial-pipeline-paid-hackers-nearly-5-million-in-ransom Fucking lovely...
  7. submitted this for an online sax class I'm taking (took up the instrument for the last 5 months). This is my own arrangement and performance arrangement of the Erroll Garner standard "Misty". Bass, guitar, and sax are natural, percussion is digital stuff. Lots of fun to put together. https://drive.google.com/file/d/1cS4YZ7JYYY30BfzmY0mpsvZBdTf-kyJx/view?usp=drivesdk
  8. Sweet stuff! Knopflerish emotion. Is this going to be some sort of concept album or musical play? Very soothing.
  9. I think that's illegal in Texas. Well at least parts of it anyway.
  10. Douse it with their shitty Vodka. Kills everything else.
  11. I dunno, "You try to move me off of the street and I'll raise BOTH of my armpits at you!" Would make me back off.
  12. Not bad for the CDC, actually. They even had time to pose for a photo yesterday:
  13. There's one more band coming in which seems to be holding. If it does, it'll get here around 8:30 and then that's it.
  14. It is now raining in Bee Cave as usual. Hail could be in some storm or two this evening, but I doubt it, and nothing is in anything coming in right now.
  15. Stop being a bureaucrat, get out a beer, and sit on your porch. Then it'll rain.
  16. I think the rain will prevail, but man it's like trying to take one of those 3 rolls/20 oz. steak shits, and it takes forever to finally happen. Stuff is finally gonna hit us, I think over the next hour - for starters. Severe upgraded but right now things seem fairly not-happeningish.
  17. Good chance of mostly rainy rain, not damaging rain, between lunch and dinner. Severe could pop up but the risk area is mostly north of us. Don't park it in the garage but have one ready just in the slightest chance... If we're gonna get a heapin' helpin' of hospitable rain, it's gonna be today. Sun into the rest of the week, then cloudy, rainy weekend. The rate it's going, June should be nice at least before hellfire and damnation return for the rest of the summer. =
  18. Well, mine, and (at time of publication in 2003)... - Dr. Amand Goldman, Emeritus Professor of Pediatrics, UTMB - Dr. Elizabeth Schmalstieg, Asst. Professor of Neurology, UTMB - Dr. Daniel H. Freeman, Professor of Biostatics, UTMB - Dr. Daniel Goldman, President of Expert Health Data Programming - Dr. Franck Schmalstieg, Professor of Pediatrics at UTMB And from what I've gathered, in the last 17 years, most medical experts have come to agree - Ken Burns also made a big deal out of the misdiagnosis in his history of the Roosevelts series. Anyway, maybe... or maybe we all just slept at a Holiday Inn last night. Here's the study which no one will read because it's got small print and a lot of terms no one understands: https://www.researchgate.net/publication/9048628_What_was_the_Cause_of_Franklin_Delano_Roosevelt's_Paralytic_Illness
  19. Well actually, he almost certainly didn't have polio. There's a 99% chance he had Guillain-Barré Syndrome. It all came to light in 2003 with an exhaustive study of his symptoms. The 1926 polio diagnosis was almost certainly wrong. They didn't really know about GBS at the time though; although it was discovered around 1859, there were so few cases that most medical people really little idea that it existed or what it symptoms were. GBS has no cure (i.e. vaccine), although it can be mitigated by a series of blood transfusions.
  20. Man, a little more of this and I'm gonna get the idea that horse racing is often a greaseball sport, run by cons. Unimaginable, I know.
  21. Why is it so high? Well, duh!
