  1. I hope that mother fucker has his shit put in blast and he’s a poster child for the wanna get away ads for SWA. I hope he never gets a good job in his life. what a piece of shit. and fuck the SEC, I’m pissed we are affiliating with those dipshits.
  2. I’d expect most rainfall the next 3-4 weeks to go into the lake assuming it doesn’t go dry for 2 weeks then rain. Rain totals the last month are impressive and llano and Buchanan each got 2 inches plus last night. Man if we could steal some increases this month even only 5-10 feet it would be huge.
  3. Drought monitor - LT watershed is the only place in Texas still in extreme drought.
  4. If you’ve been sexually active for 15 years and haven’t been in a long term relationship such that you have a lower body count then… hard pass.
  5. South llano getting fucked like a super hot twink. Nice. Would watch again.
  6. Last two weeks it’s been good. If we can get a month of good rains extending into June, we might get a nice additional bump in Buchanan and a good bump LT.
  7. what I'm here hanging out with fat postal workers?
  8. so do I have this right? a couple of repeatedly banned socks are telling imma that applebee's slams and his board is all kinds of fucked up? and that they are the real majority? is that really what's going on here?
  9. My optimism is adorable, delusional and a force to be reckoned with.
  10. This rain event was the best in a long time over the LT watershed and yet it consolidated into the flood rain we needed as it moved east toward Tyler and Louisiana. Look at this.
  11. Bullseye in the LBJ watershed of 2.5 inches and rain still coming down. That’s really great. I don’t know if May will be a wetter than normal month but if it is we could get a few feet into the lakes. Doubt we see it fill up but then Memorial Day floods are a thing around these parts.
  12. Just finished watching Mending the Line. I needed a good cry. Might not be the best movie but a movie about trauma and the healing ways of fly fishing sure as shit lands right where I need it.
  13. 4 inch bullseye on the pedernales watershed so far.
  14. First time in I don’t know how long we’ve had a south to north moving storm just bullseye on the perd. 4 inches baby and still increasing, talk about satisfied!!
  15. I could give him pointers on how to do that if he’s serious about it.
  16. I would expect from moment one there were violations that were not merely insignificant violations of first amendment laws by the protesters and I would not be surprised at all if some of it was intentional. Hell the president of Chicago is essentially putting his campus assemblers on blast for exactly that. You know I’m reasonable and progressive and as an attorney very pro-first amendment and anti-fascist. this situation has been completely fucked up on both sides. It’s not black and white the assemblers are right and the government is wrong. That said I still lean heavily toward the assemblers POV here just not 100%.
  17. first amendment does not protect all speech and neither you nor I are there to hear what is being said. it doesn't protect any assembly either. frankly I side more on the side of the first amendment here, but it's not carte blanche to do or say anything. I don't think the assemblers are interested in full compliance with first amendment laws.
  18. Geez what a cluster. Abbott is a monster probably loving this. Hartzell is either (1) an Abbott disciple, (2) a yes man, or (3) in over his head. I support this being a firing offense. If we fire Chris Beard over allegations we can and should fire Hartzell over this. the right to assemble is not unregulated. Public safety, non-interference (in this case with the functioning of a university), rules against encampment and even permitting are all concepts that have been upheld by SCOTUS (before it was politicized) or would be consistent. attacking those assembling will often lead to a ramping up of the confrontation so insert joker meme “here we go”. Columbia is FUBAR. Chicago message is kinda wtf? Good luck with that those assemblers are going to force your hand Paul. and I don’t think these gatherings are intended to be peaceful, I think the government and university are not helping AT ALL but this confrontation is what the assemblers want. They want to show how oppressive the US governmental institutions are and well they aren’t wrong. As for the underlying politics of Israel and Hamas - geez man, maybe we stop killing people. As of right now it’s pretty apparent Israel is well beyond defending itself. It’s moved into systematic destruction of an entire mega city. Worthy of protest and this is coming from someone who was a staunch supporter at the outset of the Israeli response. Enough already. Stop. editor’s note: yes I’ve changed two publicly held positions - Hartzell needs to go, Israel needs to stop. I remain unsure who is ultimately in charge and how decisions are being made but we can only fire Greg, Dan and Ken one way, Jay can be fired through normal employment practices though and all four need to be escorted out of the building.
  19. Ive been focused on sailing and our set up doesn’t give us easy access at sunset. So it wasn’t until yesterday that we got to hang out on the surf boat until the sun went down. Sun came out after a full day of rain. Pretty straight forward sunset but still incredible. God I love this time of year.

    Getting old sucks

    Probably a quarter of this thread is about that hideous condition. I’m almost out of the woods, 14-16 months later. 3rd time through it. Custom orthotics, foam rollers, stretch bands, ice foot baths, frozen water bottle roller, hot baths, old fashion stretching, and lots of exercises later…
