    Oh, I'm aware.  I guess you think I'm a fan of McKinnon or any other media that takes the opposite position.

    Little minds would think that.  The kind of little mind that sprints immediately to name calling when butthurt over an imagined slight.

    Thanks for extending the lulz.

     

    Sorry, I mistook you for emawesome.  You'll note I edited my post accordingly.  And I agree that clip was humorous.  

  2. I doubt it’s the vineyards. If they are aging poorly it could be that they were too low in acid to start (not atypical these days with the trend toward lush high alcohol wines) , they had issues with their corks or closures, or there was a storage issue.

    It's gotten too much press.  No way he will be voted out.  If it had been in the dark of the night, maybe, but all these stories have to be shaming them pretty good.

    The term shameless comes to mind.

    Walls are not "intrinsically immoral". You're being overly simplistic and ignoring answers already given. You will always cohere to that pattern, as your brain functions simplistically, and revels in ignorance.

    Build your wall in Canada too. Explain why not then think critically and with self initiative begin to answer your own facetious questions. Your brain shall improve this way.

    But Karl Rove said so!

    I just sent this email to Cornin through his website (i.e., it will go straight into a trash bin):

    I doubt it will make any difference, but I will be sending the same note to Cruz as well.

    As a Texas resident and voter I urge you to force a vote on the previously senate approved by acclamation resolution to reopen the federal  government that was approved by the HR last week (or a similar bill if they are not identical).    Hundreds of thousands of Americans are being harmed by the current shutdown, and important services are not being performed.  There is no need for these services to go undone and workers to lose pay in order to address the President's demand for border wall funding.  

    I doubt it will make any difference, but I will be sending the same note to Cruz as well.

    I'm liking the Brut thing, but I get the impression more people like the haze.

    The reason haze has caught on is because people who don't like bitter, dry flavors (which are a fuck ton of people) don't experience it with the hazebro IPAs.  I'm becoming drawn back to hoppy beers that taste like fucking beer (I still like hazy IPAs - just burned out on the trend), and the Bruts are more that way, IMO.

    The hazy IPA's that I've enjoyed the most are much more balanced and less of a juice bomb.  Frankly, the ones I had up in New England last summer were more along this line than the most of the Texas versions I've tried recently (with Celestial's Kepler being a notable positive exception).

    Dude.  That is very nice.  You went all out.  R panel roof and masonry flatwork?  Seriously.  Nice job.

    Thanks.  Not sure if you're referring to the flagstone for the masonry flatwork.  I just bought some flagstone at Lowes and set it down over the hardware cloth to protect from intruders.  I got the roof from a local roofing company for like $60.   It was from a piece they weren't going to be able to use.  The floor of the run is just construction sand.  There is a masonry foundation; just 6 CBS blocks buried under the corners and center of the longer span.  The vertical supports are secured with big lag bolts.  Did not use any concrete though.

    That is really nice, especially for just three birds. Do some chicken math and get some more!

    Thanks.  Based on everything I read I think 4 or more might be pushing things.  The actual coop area (enclosed) is only 4x4.  Since that picture was taken we put up a temporary fence at the back line of our house running to the fence along our property line (to the left of the coop in the picture), which gives the chickens a ton of room to hang out during the day.  Plus they can go up the steps to the terrace area near behind the coop towards the front of the house, so they basically have the entire side yard to the left of the house.  

    The sod I laid didn't last long so I've since put down mulch and more flagstones to walk on in that area.
