Yeah, I got a new chainsaw chain, but not in time to harvest any of the fallen wood stacked up on our block. HOWEVER, a lot of trees took a similar beating in the greenbelt behind our house, so I plan to go harvest some fallen wood from there. Then build a nice stack, and let it season for a year or two. Might as well lay in a supply when mother nature drops it for you, even if we can't burn it for a year or two.
Crews near us have been leaving nice piles of well cut wood at the bases of trees. Went and collected three wheelbarrow fulls today... probably have 1/3 cord of new wood chilling for a season. Might go collect more this weekend.

Watson going to do jack about the new homeless encampments?
"I'm sure there was an uptick like this during the really big proliferation of Dirty Sixth in the 80's and 90's...we just didn't hear about it with limited media."
That's part of it... no one had social media to whine and bitch publicly or to see everything that was going on. I routinely point out that the per capita homicide rate was higher in Austin back when I was in college (you know... the good ole days when Austin was a small hamlet full of lovely people) and yet people casually ignore that and point to the overall numbers. That's not how statistics work.

Hire a guide dude. If you're spending the money to go make turns only to putt around based on your own whims, you'll really be missing out on what's possible.
Day one guide already hired. 180 Euro half a day. Will most likely add a half day later in the week. Also meeting a friend in Sestriere who knows the mountain well.

Banana Blender Surprise goes way back. My wife went to medical school with the bass player. I think he is practicing somewhere up in Iowa.
Edit: It was the lead guitar Jason Barker.
I was going to say... I know the bass player and he's no doctor
. He does love the oldies, though!

Hersch isn't particularly credible.
yeah...
On June 25, 2017, Welt am Sonntag published Hersh's article "Trump's Red Line".[56] This had been rejected by the London Review of Books.[57][58] He said there was a split between the U.S. intelligence community and president Donald Trump over the alleged 'sarin attack' at the rebel-held town of Khan Shaykhun in Idlib on April 4, 2017: "Trump issued the order despite having been warned by the U.S. intelligence community that it had found no evidence that the Syrians had used a chemical weapon".[56][59] Bellingcat accused Hersh of sloppy journalism: "Hersh based his case on a tiny number of anonymous sources, presented no other evidence to support his case, and ignored or dismissed evidence that countered the alternative narrative he was trying to build."[60] Journalist George Monbiot criticized Hersh for not giving the building coordinates to enable verification from satellite imagery and for relying on refuted analysis by Ted Postol.[61]

My thoughts exactly... alll the tears and crying. Its getting old.
Yes, 1989 was my perfect Austin and a bunch of people back then thought 1989 sucked ass and was ruined. Its rinse and repeat. Our kids are going to talk about the golden years of 2023.

Sounds like a PWO.

"The trajectory he creates is also towards the top of his class nationally and if can consistency lock his leg out through ball/foot contact He can become one of the top field goal kickers in the 2023 Class."
Reed Malphurs, 6-6, 205, Sr., Dallas Hillcrest
Yes, you read those measurables correctly. After booting a 57-yard field goal against Seagoville as a junior last year, the sizable kicker turned the heads of scouts and helped the Panthers to a 7-4 season and a playoff berth.
His accuracy and power helped him earn District 6-4A Special Teams Player of the Year and honorable mention on the Texas Sports Writers Class 5A All-State Team.
Malphrus, who also punts and plays wide receiver for Hillcrest, has not committed to a college. He is garnering interest from big-time Power 5 programs like Arkansas, LSU, Mississippi State, TCU and Texas Tech, among others.

Reminds me of the old El Rancho Cima Boy Scout camp that was damaged in the Wimberley/Blanco floods of 2015 (?). Beautiful land. Some was bought out by the Nature Conservancy, I think, but the rest is getting divided up and sold for development. Still, looks like they saved the best parts...

Not sure I fully appreciated going to Boy Scout Camp back then but it was a pretty magical location.
