    Ugh, so do I need to make dinner reservations for every night in Paris? I thought I would just find some random places and show up. How dumb am I?

     

     

    I mean, it depends where you are in Paris and the kinds of places you want to visit. 

    BTW, F Lyon... could not find a decent fare or deal with miles so we'll just fly into Geneva and then drive over to France.

    That's where they were trying for years to approve a new road/park system. Wonder why that failed?

    Actually using that space for a park system is a great idea... you can see that in Houston with areas like George Bush Park.  Turned it into soccer facilities and all types of "floodable" amenities.

    Ain't that something?

    We probably got about another 1/2" of rain overnight.  I like these little top offs and its good to see previously tan/brown landscape waking up.

  4. We seem to have gotten about 3" since Thursday in SW Austin.  This morning was a bit of a drizzle.  Hope we can keep getting some quick top offs.  I can tell some of the brown areas are greening up.  Lots of rain lilies.  BUT, rain lilies don't provide drinking water.  We need more rain in the watersheds.

    Update:

    Yeomans (KXAN) put it well tonight:  next 2-3 days is a "sloppy" forecast.

    That's because rain, and lots of it, is still very much in the picture.  There's a slow-moving disturbance leaving a weak front behind it.  But, that front's still potent enough to do what it did today for 95% of us in ATX.   But he problem is that no one can really tell where the front will park - where it does, underneath it, gobs of rain.  It moved through Dallas yesterday, Austin and east today, but now it can stall and even move back north - or more south.  That's the slop.

    Still, another little disturbance is coming into the picture and it'll interact with that front.  The result:  high chances of rain (>70%) the next 2 days.  Much of it is gone tonight, but don't get cozy - models are showing a thunderstorm outbreak 3-4 a.m. right in the ATX area.  Even if that fizzles, it'll certainly whip back up tomorrow.  Widespread flooding is still not out of the picture, never mind the flash flooding (Shoal Creek today had it's 4th highest crest - EVER! - in less than an hour from essentially being a rock bed!).

    I'll come back to try and give a better idea tomorrow where the rain falls, as the sun heats up and shows the trigger point  plus with the possitility of more flooding, I'll try to stay on top of it.  ironically, 50 miles one way or another won't get squat.  But there's 2 days for everyone to get a piece of the pie. 

    Longer range, the end of August is more like the end of April, and September is shaping up to start cool and wet.  If the big heat comes back, it'll have to do it well into the first week of Sept.

    We might get one of our top 10, even close to #1, rainiest August's ever.

    Bet you didn't think that would happen 2 weeks ago.  Weather, she be funky an' shit.

    More later.

    Let it dump on the hill country first... lots of slow rain... loooots of it.

    For those of y'all with drainage issues, buy a submersible sump pump and a long hose.  Trust me.  One of the best purchases you can even make.

    NWS has a busted weather forecast for DFW. They placed nearly all counties in North Texas under a Flash Flood Watch on Saturday. Not a drop of rain in the DFW area. TV weather forecasters threw all their chips into the pot with dire rain predictions Saturday night into Sunday morning. Not a drop.

    Update?

    I’m pretty sick of the Card, Ewers controversy. I think it was pretty obvious last year that Sark was looking for a new QB. So when Ewers was brought in, it was pretty much a forgone conclusion. 
     

    to be honest, I’m much more interested in learning what is going on with the Oline than listening to the $9.95ers bloviate about how they got things so wrong. 

    Not to mention that in 2028 Ketch will be posting whining rants about 2011 and getting it wrong with Card/Ewers

    Since 2018... so I'm going to say based on a terrible calculation of days, that's about 1,900 views a day... looks like that little thread of theirs got 13,000 views in, oh, two hours?

    Our 9.95ers are the worst. You can already see them starting to blame “program sources for leading them in the wrong direction” and “caving on Ewers for other reasons.”

    They don’t know anything and now they’re trying to contrive these narratives to make it sound like they know what they are talking about. Why people continue to give them money amazes me. I stopped reading AAS years ago and feel the same about the 9.95ers now. They’re a detriment to Texas. 

    Nah... not "other reasons".  They're blaming the boosters.  There was some dumbass on The Horn earlier talking about how boosters probably paid all this money and they wanted Ewers to play.  Idoits.

    Don't worry.  It will go one of two ways:

    1 -- it will drop to a 10% chance and fizzle, or

    2 -- it will happen, and Brownsville -- and just Brownsville -- will drown.

    Admittedly the 60% was wrong.

    Now up to 70%

    No, but I saw there was a Business Class fare sale with flights in and out of there.  I have flown into Marseille and it was super easy, but it was a flight from Italy, so....

    You should know by now that my tightwad personality doesn't pay business class for four tickets.  I may pay more for hotels but I like my tickets cheap and dirty (and on a Star Alliance flight)

  13. I love the origin story...

    This_mustard_story_began....png?v=166086

    ...back on January 30th of 2002, when Bijan Robinson was born in a hospital by a doctor. Two things occurred to Bijan instantly upon being born. One, that the world is bright and lights can hurt your eyes when you’ve never seen them before. And two, that his purpose in this world would be to score touchdowns. And score touchdowns Bijan did.

    Throughout his formative years, Bijan scored touchdowns everywhere, mostly on the football field via football. By 2022, Bijan had scored touchdowns in every way, shape, and form. Running and receiving. Stiff arming and juking. Even occasionally passing. The only place he hadn’t scored a touchdown was his taste buds.

    So Bijan did what everyone expected Bijan to do: Create his own gourmet dijon mustard and call it Bijan Mustardson. With the help of top-quality chefs, Bijan made a mustard that was so good, it tasted like a touchdown. It was then he knew, pending production timelines, mouth touchdowns for everyone would be a mustard-purchase away.

    In August of 2022, right before football season, purely by happenstance, Bijan Mustardson hit shelves. And the rest is history. But also the future. Mostly the future.
