  1. So, does this mean Ann-Margaret is not coming?

  3. Here’s the Mo Ranch story: It was about 1 a.m. on the Fourth of July when the facilities manager at a central Texas summer camp saw water from the Guadalupe River steadily rising amid a deluge of rain. Aroldo Barrera notified his boss, who had been monitoring reports of the storms approaching Presbyterian Mo-Ranch Assembly, a recreation destination where an intercultural youth conference had been called off early just hours earlier. Despite an absence of warning by local authorities, camp officials acted quickly on their own, relocating about 70 children and adults staying overnight in a building near the river. With the kids safe, camp leaders including President and CEO Tim Huchton were able to avoid the catastrophe that hit at least one other camp near Hunt, where the 500-acre Mo-Ranch is located. “They helped them pack up,” Lisa Winters, communications director for Mo-Ranch, told The Associated Press on Sunday. “They got them up, they got them out, put them up on higher ground.” They had a plan and executed it. In another report I heard they actually moved a bunch of kayaks and canoes to higher ground also. The same thought process probably went on at La Junta as well. To @troph’s point all the camps should have an emergency plan and drill on it before any kids show up. It’s government’s job to require they have it in place and provide adequate warning.
  4. And LMJ of course!
  5. Get ready for a steady Smoltz diet in October.
  6. Both of these things are correct.
  7. And that’s the problem
  8. I’m a lifelong Republican and Presbyterian. Been to MoRanch (PCUSA property) on FM 1340 west of Hunt umpteen times. The failures of Greg “It could have been worse” Abbott and the rest of the state level Republicans, including dipshits Dan Patrick and Ken Paxton makes me fucking furious. Maybe this is the catalyst to change these fucksticks out.
  9. Honky Tonk Freeway my brother and I loved watching this terrible movie on HBO late at night in the early eighties. We enjoyed it way more than it ever deserved for just the absolute campiness somebody thought might look good on the big screen.
  10. Username and whatnot

    Yup
  12. Does Capt Josh fish out of Port A?
  13. Love that trail. Never rode it myself while living in Denver, but wanted to terribly.
  14. So she got herself a free drink and a little feel while dad wrangles the kids. Sweet.
  15. Same here regarding CC fees at UT. Wasn’t worth it.
