I couldn’t imagine praying that, knowing the situation. I mean, it was hard enough to pray something similar when my grandmother was sick before she passed away. But knowing the hell on Earth he was about to go through, and then the literal hell he had to deal with.

Re: Fema From what I remember from the Hurricane Katrina (2005) discussion about the timing of a Fed response, the timeline of events was some like this: Event is coming, Hurricane Katrina (2005), everyone (Louisiana) started flat footed, Hurricane Rita, 1 month later (Texas), The Good; National Guard on standby, supplies (food, water, gasoline) were pre-positioned at various locations (along major arteries) in anticipation of coming events.) The Bad; evacuate Houston, instead of just the low lying areas. Day 1. Hurricane Landfall, help is needed. The State petitions the Federal Government, the Fed is in motion (Best case, response is immediate. The levy failure and flooding of New Orleans did not happen immediately.) Day 1-2, Call up National Guard; National Guard ~ 24 hours to show up at rally point Day 2-3, National Guard begins acquiring necessary supplies and equipment, deploys to location Day 3-4, National Guard on site, responds to emergency. The takeaway from Katrina was that the Local and State responses were the critical first lines of support until Federal assistance showed up in force, which would still be at least 2-3 days after the event. It seams every "natural disaster", before and since, follows this same script. There is no substitute for the local governments (Volunteer Fire Departments, City & County) having some resources that can be called upon and deployed immediately, before the State and Federal resources can deployed in a meaningful way. Unfortunately, the demands that places on certain individuals and the skill sets necessary to effectively manage the situation are rarely in the same place at the same time.

Texas Recruiting Notes 2026: Boulevard of Broken Bagmen

I wonder if trying to go with a more national presence with the current approach of letting others blow their load will still work. Seems the last few cycles we’ve stuck to a few key regions with most of it being in or around texas and we were fighting off the same handful of teams mostly, so if they went overboard on a couple guys then they’d handcuff themselves for the rest of the class. It feels like this cycle we’ve seen more/different teams involved than we normally see (South Carolina for example) on guys we want and a lot of them are desperate in their own ways and we let them make their ridiculous offers. But if there are more teams to go against for different guys, then that’s more dumb offers to try and compete against on one off guys and maybe we spent time/resources in an area that could’ve been better spent on another guy. Idk I also don’t know shit. -

Sorry to be the one to tell you this but there is no hell. -
I personally feel that there are very few if any churches out there that aren't doing something wrong, whether that be doctrinal, or attitudinal. The best advice I would give anyone is to go back to the source as much as possible. For me as a Christian, that would be the New Testament first century church, and the example that is provided in those books. Do what they did, don't do what they didn't do, and focus on living a biblical mindset every day. If you find that the denomination you are currently attending strays too far away from that example for your comfort level after learning things for yourself, maybe it's time to shop for a new flavor.

I’m sure the usual suspects will be along soon to gripe about this thread getting cloaky right?

In my particular connection to a little girl who drowned at Mystic on Friday morning, this is true. I was surprised to learn that nugget from my wife on Friday night when I mentioned that Dan Patrick (shiver) might be reaching out to them directly. (Long story.) Some Surly-ite who is down there should do a drive by and see if that cocksmoker's house was flooded or not. -

I've been around truckers all my life. Believe me when I say that is absolutely the best about 5% of them can do. Waiting on that small group to back up to the dock at your warehouse can be quite comical. Most drivers can back straight into a dock on their first try. Or second.

One is context and factual one is opining based on some bullshit and doesn't need to be in the thread. They can be similar and one can be framed to provide context instead of be an opinion.

Hi Pato, Full disclosure. Blind Faith has been a ministry for us for around 2 years. We mainly have been helping Kerr County residents with food/assistance. Then the river tsunami happened. My friend Tim is an Ingram resident that used to own Nature Blinds, which manufactured hunting blinds. Tim’s wife Sandy passed away 6 years ago and he sold the business. His heart is helping people and he started Blind Faith. Our main funding has been through James Avery Foundation and local churches. We have some infrastructure-two warehouses for storing food, supplies etc. And we have a pretty rudimentary website. Pretty bare bones. But we have big hearts and desire to assist others in our community. Are we like Red Cross-hell no. Do we have shiny offices and high paid fundraising. Nope. I still work full time, so this is a ministry for me personally. We are not associated with any church or group and our plan is to stay independent from any church. All of our team attend the same church in Ingram. We would appreciate any donation that you can give. It will 100 percent go to those who need it. Thank you.

Resident: Are you accountable to anyone for how you spend it? Or is it a, kind of, a reward and shows your support for this particular program? It's not free money. Being present as we talk. How do we know this? Immediately. Unless you want it on the COVID lies and vaccination pressure, you have to send it back. Those are heavy strings. And those are strings. The deep state harangue and vilified President Trump for calling COVID for what it was and then suggest responses that were non-draconian, and then when Biden took office, the leftist government took its gloves off. It has lied and lied more about this COVID -- about COVID. The temptation is great, you're accountable, and we would like to know where your allegiance is. Resident 2: And I'm here to ask this Court today to send this money back to the Biden administration, which I consider to be the most criminal treasonous communist government ever to holdthe White House. And Kerr County should not beaccepting anything from these people. They'recurrently facilitating an invasion of our border, and we're going to support these people? So that's what I have to say. Thank you. Resident: I happen to know that there is no such thing as free money. It's never government-funded; it's tax-payer funded. So they're takingour money and they're putting strings attached to it and then they're giving it back to us. And they're going to get their foot in the door in this county. We don't want their money. I feel like the people have spoken and I stand with the people. Thank you for your time.

Don't we all. Seems there's not, though. -
at a national/federal level this dichotomy allows dembiden vilification and so be it... but in Texas, where republicans control 100% of the government and have for 3 decades, the 2 categories are exactly the same thing i feel like HAL in 2001 +++ cnn just aired a NEWS CONFERENCE from kerrville where the kerr county sheriff said he didn't find out about the flood until 911 calls started coming between 4-5am, and when pressed said he can't give a timeliine and right now his only purpose is recovery and remains etc. this was followed with a vacationer interviewed who said he didn't receive any advanced warning but at 245am the water was getting in to the house he was staying in

If there's a next time I'll have to remember to order it without mayo. However, the bun seemed under-baked and I'm not a fan of shredded lettuce on a burger. Also the cheese needed a lot more melt. InnOut's about 25 minutes from my house but I think I'd go there before hitting Culver's again even though it's 5 minutes away.
