  1. Past hour
  2. These are the grandkids of the couple I mentioned yesterday. The grandparents were dental patients of my FIL. The father went to ESD with my wife. Sounds like the parents were five houses down in the flooding and the father jumped in a kayak or some other small boat to try and get to his parents’ house but wasn’t able to fight the current.
  3. Politics have absolutely broken some of yall.
  4. This all belongs in the rain thread, imo. also can someone define geoengineering to me?
  5. I was trying to be inclusive.
  6. Did anyone ever figure out why Cam Williams wasn’t in the game?
  7. I know a lot of them and you are correct. If the House stuff proves to be a paper tiger watchdog, and if the Orange get a good coach, watch the $$ pour in to their basketball program.
  8. I don’t know what to say. This is devastating. Sadness beyond belief.
  9. Thought I would put this here also for more eyeballs.
  10. You better capitalize that G, otherwise He may throw in a strategically placed lightning strike as well!
  11. The problem with the whole package (and we experienced this exact thing in Austin with the very similar Kathie Tovo-Ora Houston affordability approach) is that it: 1) treats affordability as a bottoms up problem rather than a middle out problem, and 2) doesn’t produce affordability It’s kind of the problem with ideology politics in general- voting for for how candidates talk about things rather than the probability that they will achieve things.
  12. well damn .... Michael Phillips, a fire chief in the Marble Falls area, went missing Saturday after being swept away by floodwaters while responding to a call in Cow Creek in Travis County, a Burnet County official said. Phillips was driving an emergency vehicle when he went missing Saturday morning, said Derek Marchio, coordinator for the Burnet County office of Emergency Management.
  13. That little bastard flare up in SW Travis county put out my burn pile. Thanks a lot, god.
  14. Oh, the novel has a perfect beginning: "The Appointment in Samarra" (as retold by W. Somerset Maugham [1933]) There was a merchant in Bagdad who sent his servant to market to buy provisions and in a little while the servant came back, white and trembling, and said, Master, just now when I was in the marketplace I was jostled by a woman in the crowd and when I turned I saw it was Death that had jostled me. She looked at me and made a threatening gesture; now, lend me your horse, and I will ride away from this city and avoid my fate. I will go to Samarra and there Death will not find me. The merchant lent him his horse, and the servant mounted it, and he dug his spurs in its flanks and as fast as the horse could gallop he went. Then the merchant went down to the marketplace and he saw me [Death] standing in the crowd and he came to me and said, Why did you make a threating gesture to my servant when you saw him this morning? That was not a threatening gesture, I said, it was only a start of surprise. I was astonished to see him in Bagdad, for I had an appointment with him tonight in Samarra.
  15. this system, just lingering and then reforming over night

  17. Didn’t he just take the money and run?
  18. They’re government employees bemoaning how undesirable governance is after themselves repeatedly failing to protect the public, so people regard them as an authority on the matter.
