Per Reddit, the head of that department takes home 145k of Austin’s tax payer dollars a year?
Does the Director of Bicycling still take home $90K / year?
Real title, real salary from a few years back. I'm guessing it's 6-digits by now.

Incredible. Survivors, but going to be a tough ride for this family.
Last week, on a sunny day with a storm in the forecast, six families boarded Stretch Duck 07 in Branson Every family lost someone when the boat sank into Table Rock Lake, killing more than half of the 31 passengers. Every family, that is, but one.
All the members of a family of nine survived — an outcome that defies probability to the point of qualifying as unbelievable, said Mandi Keller of Texas, a member of the family who wasn’t on the boat.The unlikely survival of the entire family astonished a first responder there that night. “To me, that’s really the most remarkable piece to all of this,” said Steve Martin, a chaplain with the Missouri Highway Patrol and Nixa Fire Department. “It’s the untold story.” Martin was at Branson City Hall to receive the family Thursday night after they were shuttled there, together, unbroken. “They themselves have no explanation,” he said. “They’re dumbfounded (as to) how they all made it out.”
The members of the family remaining whole, according to a Missouri Highway Patrol report, are 15-year-old Gillian and her father and stepmother, Shayne and Tiffany Collins; and the rest of their family: Cayden, Chloe and Tomlin McDonald; Tayden Kimbley; Talyssa Mann; and Ronita McKinley. Only one, McKinley, 64, was injured. She was in serious condition after coming out of the water but has since been discharged from the hospital, Martin said.
Keller believes her family “will always feel guilty.” But they shouldn’t, Martin said. He said the family was traumatized that night after they all narrowly escaped death.He knows of no good explanation for how or why the family survived. “They didn’t survive because they stuck together or planned how to navigate,” Martin said.
The youngest member of the family, a 10-year-old, told Martin he felt the waves pushing him toward the Showboat Branson Belle, a large riverboat nearby. “The Branson Belle — it was good for some and not as good for others,” Martin said. The family of nine found safety by climbing up a paddle on the rear of the Belle, or clinging to the side of the riverboat until bystanders came to hoist them to safety. “The only thing I can say with consistency is that they all ended up in different places and found safety in different ways,” Martin said. “There was no rhyme or reason to why, why all nine of them lived and every other family unit lost people.”

109 at Mabry. Good for another degree or two.

The frank announcement should be along here shortly. Good news for the pragmatic adults of Austin.
Just got an e-mail from Trox. Glimmer of hope against the tidal wave of maniacal lunacy.

100 at noon. 2+ hours earlier than Sunday.
Guessing 109 today. PHD starter kit.

A deeper dive in to the drag boats on Town Lake and related protests.

Ah, Boats in the Barrio. Drag boat racing on Town Lake. This photo never disappoints. A slew of Justice Sticks, Skoal Brother, displaced priest on a Sunday afternoon, Paul Hernandez finding glee in the moment, unfazed and stoic sign-toting, and Joe Friday on the Grassy Knoll taking it all in.

Broad daylight with cameras around. The shooter will be in the cage pretty damn soon.

With that weather and the conditions I'm surprised anyone survived. Did those people cling to / have life jackets? Were boats on the scene right away to rescue people? Curious to hear how those that lived to see another day did so.
-
One family had 11 members on board, 9 died.
Ugh.

Great read. Thanks for posting.

Watched the tail end of the match (pardon the pun). Amazing someone that big can even move that quickly.

Need about 3 yards of pea gravel delivered, southwest. I think there's a few places out near Dripping but recommendation(s) please.

Did himself a ton of favors with that mug. A ways to go to match her, but still.

2. Is there such a thing as forgiveness?
Armstrong professes to have learned from his mistakes but I've no doubt he'd shit all over people, again, given the chance. So, no, not with this asshole.
Is there still a bike trail named after this snake?

One of its best displays ever. Shit is literally shriveling up just east of 35.

53 Veer Pass is arguably the ballsiest coaching call in the history of sports. National title on the line. You're a running team, period. You just need 3 yards on a 4th down. But you decide not only to throw on 4th but call a play that has to be executed without any room for error, and you pull the damn thing off. I still think the Arkansas DB got his finger tip(s) on the pass but who cares? It fell into Peschel's hands, and the rest is history.
I love many things about DKR and will forever be in awe of the size of his balls for making that call.

Criticize Jerrah all you want but no one has ever done a better job of successfully marketing and monetizing mediocrity. Those championships and playoff appearances are now somewhere in a different stratosphere but that cash register just doesn't slow down.
