  1. Looks like we do have an arsonist…hmmm

     “A prominent Austin businessman and founder of Continental Automotive Group, or CAG, was arrested Thursday on charges of Felony Arson and a State Jail Felony offense of Burglary.

    Dorsey Bryan Hardeman, 75, is accused of starting a fire at a downtown Austin building on Sunday, according to an arrest affidavit.”

    Not sure I totally get the motive but whatever what a dildo. 

  2. 2 officer shot in Independence, Missouri. Warrant situations from the cops I have met are one of the most dangerous times. That and DV situations. You never know when the abused person might come at you like a spider monkey. Way to make a bad situation worse for yourself. You have a warrant let’s make it ten times worse. People are fucking stupid. Hope the officers will be ok.

    Our Shriner’s Temple in Waco is currently working with the temple in Amarillo to work on getting some stuff organized to get up there.   Will post information as I get it.  Will be good to have a base location here and get it all to one spot up there for distribution.   

    Thats wonderful! It helps to have a local presence for people who want to donate but don’t live in the Panhandle. That’s great!

    That video is brutal to watch, the fire spreading eastward with the prevailing winds, and then the cold front sweeping down across the plains from the north. 

    FYI, a million acres is equivalent to a ~ 1,550 square miles, or an 8 mile wide strip along I35 from Austin to Dallas, or this:

    Pray for help from Mother Nature.

    Yes! Pray! The thing is I’m stunned we haven’t had a worse one in all my years of life prior to the 2006 fire. I do wonder how the smokehouse creek one started. Was it human error? The thing is when you grow up in the Panhandle it’s dry and windy and you learn very early on to BE CAUTIOUS AND CAREFUL about anything that could potentially start a fire. This part of the state in particular lives and dies by the rain. And some of the years growing up it was incredibly dry. Praying for the snow and rain to help the firefighters do their best. They’ve got more planes coming in Friday and other aid so this little bit of Mother Nature is huge with the snow. 

  5. Man I miss Braums! I love their little grocery store and ice cream and especially milk. People that don’t have a Braums are missing out! 
     

    Here is a phone number to pass around to those trying to relocate livestock.

    My radar feed is showing it doing some work on the fire near Fritch.

    This is fabulous news because every little bit helps. Praying for some rain in the next week. It’s just so depressing. On my family’s ranch we don’t use any pesticides or anything so we have a lot of the red ants and horned toads (which are rapidly disappearing from our landscape.) so I am hopeful this snow helps at least contain the Fritch one. The Smokehouse Creek one is just another matter. Damn. 

  7. sad case out of Florida with depressing similarities to the Audrii Cunningham case in the Houston area. A sexual predator, non-relative in close proximity to a young girl who was allowed to drop her off at schools Smdh! 
     

    “Stephan Sterns, 37, had dropped off now missing 13 year old Madeline Soto in the area of Hunters Creek Middle School, which is where she goes to school.

    — The boyfriend of a missing Florida teen’s mother was arrested Wednesday night on charges of sexual battery and possession of child sexual abuse material, according to the Orange County Sheriff’s Office. 

    13-year-old Madeline Soto was reported missing after she didn’t show up to school on Monday, according to officials.

    Yes it is.

    hopefully with all the cameras around (this has been huge in apprehension, charging/ arresting and conviction. Cameras all over the damn place making it nearly impossible to get away with this shit. It may take many hundreds of hours in some cases to go through all the footage and follow a criminal from the crime to an ending place or follow where they came from but cameras and footage are a fucking game changer like cell phone data and GPS/onstar stuff.

    Looks like this one might be a hoax. If it is, this type of shit pisses me off. We don’t need a staged crime to be reminded that women get raped daily. We don’t need a hoax like Jussie Smollett reminding us there is racism. We don’t need this type of shit. Fake kidnappings and other crap people stage. Stop it. Also, give them the sentence a perp would have gotten for actually committing the crime. You’ve got people looking for a suspect and there isn’t one. Make them do the time for the crime alleged!  That might be a deterrent. A lot of these cases are messed up girls with relationship issues wanting attention. Stop it damnit!!! The dude doesn’t want to be with you! 
     

    i invite them instead to come and check out the Chilean sea bass I have trained in Lady Bird Lake.

    In an update at 12 p.m., police said detectives are still working with the reporting woman to "reconcile inconsistencies between the information she is reporting and the evidence found at the scene." 

    Bellevue Police did rule out any ongoing threat to the school or local community at this time.

    And most do not realize these fires are in the " Canadian River breaks" land north and south of said breaks is the flat prairie...but where the fires are it is hills and canyons and very rough country which makes it hard for the firefighters 

    This as well. The terrain is so different from what people imagine. It’s a mix of things. Canyons and ridges and hills and cactus and prairie grass and mesquite. It’s just different. And yes, it makes a challenge for firefighters. The wind is just lighting fuse after fuse. We have to have the rain/snow that they said was possible. It likely won’t hit many of the areas needed but it will absolutely help.

    @Nicole44 I assume that the priority right now is evacuation and containment. Later on if there are relief efforts would you link them?  I would be specifically interested in hay donations.  I don’t have facebook. 

    Will do!
