Got some yuge hail in Crestview. I guess I finally get my new roof

Did he at least get some good bbq and have a fun scooter ride before getting kilt?

I think high interest rates is the biggest contributor to the lack of home sales. If/when we drop to free money zone again, houses will be flying off the market.

Running for Senate in Michigan but live and registered to vote in Florida. https://www.newsweek.com/michigan-republican-candidate-living-florida-mike-rogers-1888388 Republican hoping to represent Michigan in the U.S. Senate suffered a setback to his campaign this week after facing allegations that he lives in Florida. Former Congressman Mike Rogers, who has made much of his local roots in a bid to win over voters, faced backlash online after the staff of Democrat rival Elissa Slotkin released information on X, formerly Twitter, apparently proving he is still registered to vote in the Sunshine State. But he was soon hit with disparaging comments from X users after Austin Cook, Slotkin's communications director, shared Rogers' post with the caption: "Fun fact: @MikeRogersForMI is literally registered to vote in Florida *right now*" He attached a screenshot apparently showing that Rogers has been registered to vote in Cape Coral, Florida, since January 2022. His party is listed as the Republican Party of Florida, and his voter status was "active." The allegations have left some voters disgruntled. Several people accused Rogers of being a "carpetbagger," a term for a candidate seeking election in an area where they have no local connections. "Sounds like something someone from Florida would say when they are trying to run for Senate in Michigan," one X user said. An X user posted, "Then why aren't you running in Florida? You live there, after all." Another told him: "Nothing says 'proud Michigander' like someone who packed up, left, moved to Florida, and only came back to run for Senate!"

The woman had recently checked out of a local hotel and told the staff she was going on a shooting spree, directed by “God” in relation to the solar eclipse. Read the FHP report below to see how they took her into custody. FHP REPORT: Florida Highway Patrol Troopers responded to a report of an active shooter in Holmes County. The suspect was reportedly a female who had recently checked out of a local hotel and told the staff she was going on a shooting spree, directed by “God” in relation to the solar eclipse. The suspect, driving a purple Dodge Challenger with Georgia plates, entered Interstate 10 (I-10) at the 112-mile marker and traveled westbound. Within 5 miles of entering the interstate, the suspect fired multiple shots into another vehicle traveling along the interstate, striking the passing car multiple times. The driver was struck by glass fragments from the window and grazed on the arm by a bullet; however, he was able to steer his vehicle onto the shoulder of the road, away from the suspect. Continuing westbound on I-10, the suspect shot at another vehicle near the 107- mile marker, hitting the driver in the neck. The victim was taken to a nearby hospital and is currently receiving treatment. Responding Troopers located the suspect near the 96- mile marker and conducted a felony traffic stop. After the suspect was taken into custody, troopers recovered an AR-15 and a 9mm handgun within the purple Challenger. The suspect, identified as Taylon Nichelle Celestine, 22, of Georgia, was taken into custody without incident and transported to the Holmes County Jail where she was booked on the following charges: Attempted Murder Aggravated Battery with a Deadly Weapon Improper Discharge of Firearm

I never thought I'd be interested in stories and characters where I "know" the fate, or at least the ending story for that plotline or character. But then Filoni gave us Ventress, expanded stories of Darth Maul, expanded stories of Anakin/Darth, an incredible character of Ahsoka, expanded stories of the Clones, and a whole bunch of new characters and stories confined between canon movies and trilogies, and I/we are definitely the richer for it. I think Maul and Ahsoka are the most complex and intriguing characters in the SW universe. As long as he is fully in charge of a project, I am watching. I would love for Filoni to go beyond the last trilogy and tell brand new stories and new characters with no ties or relations to the previous characters. I am sure it's been discussed but not sure why he hasn't been given free reign to do so. The last trilogy was absolute shit. He can't do any worse.

Some of you dudes insist upon yourselves. Brooks averaged 6.1 YPC last year. Blue averaged 6.1 YPC last year. Baxter, a true freshman, averaged 4.8 YPC last year. RB is the least of our concerns this year.

"Dear Big Red, am I a joke to you?" - Nebraska, probably.

He's alive!!!!

6 years ago, how did people know it was going to be an eclipse today? That is amazeballs!!!!!!

Sooo....when is the world apocalypse going to happen? I got pegged last night for the first time thinking I wouldn't have to tell anyone or remember it past today.

I forgot. Sainte Chapelle is a must see when it first opens or towards closing. It's usually crowded as shit through out the day but if you get there at those times, the crowd is significantly less. Depending on what time of year you go, I like the light in the chapel at closing better.

Going up the Eiffel is not worth the wait. Tip for the Louvre, go EARLY and use the Carrousel or Porte des Lions entrances. Not many people know about these entrances. They are much shorter lines than the main Pyramid entrance. Then fast walk straight to the Mona Lisa and see it before the asshole horde get there. It's bizarre seeing the Mona Lisa with only 2 or 3 people around. An hour or so later when you leave the Louvre, walk by the Mona Lisa just to see the dipshit chaos around the picture. Watching the mass of inconsiderate people is an exhibit unto itself. Also he's controversial but I love the huge Jacques-Louis David paintings. You will regret going to Paris and not seeing all the GREAT art. Make sue to look at the link to find more info on the entrances. https://www.louvre.fr/en/visit/map-entrances-directions Marais has great shopping and restaurants. Latin Quarter restaurants are touristy and not very good. But if you want to sit at a table and spend an hour people watching, it's the best place to do it. The walk between Lux Garden and LQ is one of my favorite walks anywhere. Spend a an hour relaxing in Lux Garden. In Marais, get pastries from Florence Kahn. Definitely get the pistachio one. It will be one of the best things you'll ever eat in your life. https://maps.app.goo.gl/x1QNwuSv7N4DKtFp8 Bourdain thought thought Du Pain et des Idees was the best bakery in France. It's really good but it's kinda out of the way. You used to have to get there early or they'd sell out of everything. Not sure what it's like now. We like to Uber there, get some pastries and walk along the canal. If the farmers market is up, spend some time and shop there. Then take an Uber/metro to Marais to lunch and shop. I never cared for Monmarte. It doesn't have the charm of the Left Bank, LQ, or Marais. Lourve to Place de la Concorde is a great walk along the Jardin des Tuileries. That's another of my favorite walks. Definitely visit the Musee des D'Orsay. I think it's better than the Louvre for different reasons. Hire a private tour if possible. Basically, Paris is a city to be savored. The best way to do it is to slow down and spend time there. I LOVE just aimlessly walking around the city. It's amazingly charming. Doing nothing in a wonderful park is a great way to spend an afternoon. Also Place des Voges is another great park to enjoy an hour or so. It's in Marais.

The old Paragon Prep building is a homeless camp. Maybe they are there to study all those old textbooks. I wonder if he's going to be found too crazy to stand trial and be released back on the streets. Yay for tax paying citizens! https://www.kxan.com/news/crime/take-some-time-to-wear-off-76-year-old-woman-home-when-man-experiencing-homelessness-breaks-in-apd/ AUSTIN (KXAN) — “I thought it was a good time to relax and watch a movie,” 76-year-old Kathy Struck said about the afternoon of March 16. Her daughter Jennifer had just left for the grocery store. The back door was unlocked. “All of a sudden, I turn my head, and there’s a man in my bedroom,” Struck said, adding that the man also went through her pantry and refrigerator. She said she stayed calm and got him to leave, locking the door behind him. “Then I heard noise, I heard loud banging,” Struck said. He got back in, breaking through the laundry room window. And his demeanor changed, she said. “Destroying things, and he was moving the washer and dryer, so at that time, I decided I better call 911,” Struck said. Between the call and the time police got there, Struck said the man got into her toolbox. “They sent a policeman. The minute he saw the man, he pulled his gun and said ‘Drop the hammer.'” Police said the man was experiencing homelessness. This happened in central Austin off of North Lamar Boulevard. The Austin Police Department (APD) said the man barricaded himself in the laundry room. “When officers arrived, they made multiple attempts to get the suspect out of the room using commands and pepper balls,” the department said in a statement. “After a round of pepper balls, officers were successful getting the suspect out and making an arrest.” While police worked to get the man out of Struck’s house, she said one officer stayed with her in her room. “He kept me busy talking. We could hear what was going on out there,” she said. Struck said she saw crews take the man away in an ambulance. He faces burglary charges, according to police. KXAN learned of Struck’s story when her neighbors reached out about growing homeless activity at an abandoned building nearby on Old Koenig Lane. The City told us it’s aware of concerns related to the building, and has previously requested support from the Austin Police Department in clearing the camps set up inside. Following code violations related to trash and needing to secure the property – the Develop Services Department says city contractors have repeatedly installed new fences and boarded up the property. The fire department said a person experiencing homelessness was responsible for a fire at that very building last week. According to the Development Services Department, staff are meeting with the Building Standards Commission next month to request a demolition order. While police said the man who broke into Struck’s home is listed as homeless, they could not confirm he was staying at that building. “It’s hard because a large percentage of these homeless people are mentally ill,” Struck said, adding that she feels compassion towards the people setting up camp at the abandoned building. Her neighbor Samantha Sampson expressed a similar sentiment. “I don’t blame them for trying to find shelter they’re doing what they need to do to survive as people,” Sampson said. Austin’s Homeless Strategy Office said staff “and our partners have been regularly conducting outreach in the area,” explaining that includes “services on a voluntary basis” and providing shelter beds when they’re available. As for Struck, she hopes more help comes.

If he gets a nice payout, would he/his family gaf?

Has any cattle rancher ever shot his cow or bull because he feared for his life? I can't imagine some rancher shooting the shit at his bfe local coffee joint with his buddies telling the horrific story of having to shoot his bull because he was in fear for his life.

It's a publicity stunt. The evangelical fake christians are masturbating. Voters: Can you protect kids from school shootings? Texas: Best I can do is to fake protect them from porn. Voters: Hallelujah!

You obviously do not America.

This should make the young people happy. https://www.newsweek.com/older-americans-stis-1884175 Older Americans now have twice as many sexually transmitted infections (STI) when compared to a decade ago, a new study has found. According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the rates of STIs in adults aged 55 and older have doubled over the past decade. "Rising divorce rates, forgoing condoms as there is no risk of pregnancy, the availability of drugs for sexual dysfunction, the large number of older adults living together in retirement communities, and the increased use of dating apps are likely to have contributed to the growing incidence of STIs in the over 50s", Justyna Kowalska, who is presenting the research, said in a statement. "These data likely underestimate the true extent of the problem, as limited access to sexual health services for the over 50s, and trying to avoid the stigma and embarrassment both on the part of older people and healthcare professionals, is leading to this age group not seeking help for STIs." For example, gonorrhea cases rose from 15 per 100,000 people in 2015, to 57 per 100,000 in 2019.

this man accepts the challenge.

https://variety.com/2024/film/news/steven-spielberg-dune-2-brilliant-science-fiction-movie-ever-made-1235953298/ Steven Spielberg had nothing but praise for “Dune: Part Two” while interviewing Denis Villeneuve on the latest episode of the DGA’s “Director’s Cut” podcast. The Oscar winner told Villeneuve that “you have made one of the most brilliant science-fiction films I’ve ever seen,” which is high praise coming from the mastermind behind “E.T: Extra Terrestrial” and “Close Encounters of the Third Kind.” And that wasn’t the only praise Spielberg bestowed upon the “Dune” director. “It’s an honor for me to sit here and talk to you,” Spielberg said. “Let me start by saying there are filmmakers who are the builders of worlds. It’s not a long list and we know who a lot of them are. Starting with [Georges] Méliès and Disney and Kubrick, George Lucas. Ray Harryhausen I include in that list. Fellini built his own worlds. Tim Burton. Obviously Wes Anderson, Peter Jackson, James Cameron, Christopher Nolan, Ridley Scott, Guillermo del Toro. The list goes on but it’s not that long of a list, and I deeply, fervently believe that you are one of its newest members.”

Austin about to get a small storm cell.
