    Sadly, its true.  There was no Code Blue, it's a direct mail to all residents of Island Housing, both on and off the island. I have a daughter in Momentum and she is not happy about this.    There is a Code Blue for Remote Operations on Monday, which of course is a bit of a problem for kids that actually live in the dorms.   Daughter hopes the hurricane keeps going north and they send an all clear by tomorrow morning before she has to leave.

    FWIW, I just texted one of my interns who would probably get one of those emails and he said he only got our code blue remote notice.

    My interns like me enough to answer this late apparently...

    Tomorrow morning is the beginning of the 4th quarter 

    Meh...it's the beginning of the 3rd.

    I'm not running from a Sharknado...

    Sunday morning is the beginning of the 4th.

    But, I'm going to keep an eye on it in case Beryl speeds up and/or develops into a Cat 2/3 and pulls a triple play to end the inning.

    Might double check for her...

    If a storm’s track brings it near Corpus Christi, the University will monitor the storm and send updates to students through Code Blue using their Islander email and text using their phone number in S.A.I.L. Students can update their contact information for Code Blue in S.A.I.L.

    I'd hate for this to be scam that fucks with the students.  I hope I'm wrong.

    But, I will send this into the university in the morning to see if anyone can find out if it's accurate if I don't get the CB notification.

    TAMU-CC pulled the trigger on mandatory evacuation by 9am tomorrow.  This includes the just-off-campus housing that a sizable % of students live in.   Seems early to me, but maybe they know it takes X hours to really get people out.

    I don't know if that's true...

    I work at TAMU-CC and we have not received a CODE BLUE alert for that.  CODE BLUE is the official TAMU-CC alert system.

    Deep govt info - port Lavaca is preparing for a cat 3 to hit between Seadrift and Port Lavaca. They’re working like mad to check on elderly and get them out of danger. Known low water areas will be barricaded off some time Sunday. People are refilling meds, buying water, and food.  Evacuation order is ready for Sunday am. Possible land fall very late Sunday / early Monday 
     

    victoria is preparing for a massive flooding event and handling evacuees from the coast

     

     

    My GF's best friend owns the winery in Long Mott...hope they don't get all fucked up there.

    4 pm update from NHC nudges a little further east than the morning tracks, but still aiming at Corpus.

    image.png.5c87347f5f84ef47648ac5022ef28e36.png

    Yeah...

    I'm thinking about boarding up the windows this weekend if it keeps looking that way.  We're going to make the evac call on Sunday afternoon.  We live on a canal on the island so I'll probably bail for a Cat 2.

    Although getting off the island will be an absolute clusterfuck that day with all of the tourists going home AND people evacuating...

    No way I'm driving up I37 if I head to my dad's at Lakehills.

    Next briefing at 5 pm ….

    ****IMPORTANT****

    11:30 AM briefing with the National Weather Service does not look good. 

    There’s still a lot of factors to look at, however we were informed to start making preparations for a Cat 2 and possibly a Cat 3 if the storm continues a northern tract causing it to stay over water longer to intensify. It will all depend on what happens after it crosses the Yucatan. 

    The next briefing will be at 5:00 PM this afternoon and I will continue to pass the information on as it becomes available.

    Commissioner Precinct 1
    Calhoun County

    Our Director was on a TDEM call at noon.  Said they're planning for Cat 1 between Corpus and Brownsville during the meeting.  Lots of rain and we'll probably head out after to help with damage assessment.

    Of course, my Accuweather app shifted the prediction of the eye from Port Isabel to Corpus since noon, so...

    Stopped at Xpress Burger by Annaville on the way into town and it's great. Bun was great, meat was great and overall flavor was excellent. 

    It's inside a gas station with a few tables. 

     

    One of the guys I work with literally just mentioned that place on Thursday.  I will put it on my list of places to go if I have to leave the island and go past the bluff.

    Bump. Headed there by myself for a week this summer. Any new updates on hikes, bars, restaurants.

    Hiking, fishing, rafting , day trip to GNP and good craft brews are on the docket. Thanks

    I'll ask my daughter.  She lives there.  Her husband grew up in Polson, on the south end of Flathead Lake.

    Marriott Bonvoy Ap has a promo of 1000 bonus points and 1 Bonus Elite night credit per night stayed from Feb 13 through April 29.  Could give you a boost to next level for the year.

    I only saw it in the Ap, not on my saved link on laptop.

    It showed up in my app, but when I tried to click on the link, it did nothing.  Hopefully just a little glitch for now.  Might have a couple work trips coming up in that period.

     

    ETA:  Just saw it online, so I tried it that way and got this:

    A Note About This Promotion

    Tidbit about the new bar opening in February....

    So, the Grand Opening of this Beach Bum place is Feb 3.

    Apparently a group of folks from Lakehills are coming down to check it out, so I guess my Dad and I will be going. 

    I'll have my GF be the DD for us to get back to NPI.  She's taking some meds right now and can't drink alcohol.  Sucks to be her.

  12. On a better note, I got here on SPI around 5:00 and I will have to say I like Margaritaville so far.

    Got a couple food recs from the bartender earlier...

    Shark Tank Lounge OTB in Port Isabel and Mahi Nic's for fish tacos.  Going to try those out this trip.

    Going to get that 2nd bridge it looks like:

    https://www.valleycentral.com/news/local-news/causeway-project-includes-new-roads-across-the-valley/

    This is the location, quite a bit North of where anything is today and 8 miles long. 

    image.png.a113e198f64c60d708404f6188c632ce.png

    I live on NPI.  We're getting another causeway too.  I'm 55 so it should be done about the time I hit 3 digits in the age column.

    I'll bet the timeline here is like that...

    Needed a few extra miles on UA by eoy so headed down to San Pedro for 4 nights then over to TPA to see my sister and family.

    7th trip to Belize but first in 1.5 years. Staying at Blue Tang for the 4th time. They give me a discount.

    Will fish for whaoo but 2 days with zero plans. If I can find some people to hang might hit secret Beach but otherwise just going to chill around San Pedro.

    I've actually never set foot on Caye Caulker? Is it worth getting over there for a day?

    My GF has been there several times with her best friend.  She says it's great and they really enjoyed it.  I unfortunately have had to miss those trips due to work and school.  From her rec I'd say a day trip would be worth it, even it's just to see what's there.

    Look I’ve been an EWR truther for years, you don’t have to pitch me, but I’ve got a handful of things going here.

     1) I’m exec platinum on AA, which is awful for most people but honestly pretty great for EPs

    2) I also fly to a ton of second/third-tier cities (think Ft Wayne, Midland etc) making AA an often necessary choice

    3) When in NYC I’m mostly in midtown and my office is next door to Grand Central. With the new Madison terminal opening and the LIRR line, I’m able to get from gate in Terminal 8 to midtown in 50 minutes regardless of traffic via air train-Jamaica-Grand Central. 
     

    that said- you are absolutely right that most people should fly into EWR when going to Manhattan and take the train to Penn Station.

    @PenelopeWitherspoon agree with your points about Heathrow. Most issues is Heathrow are related to airport operations in my opinion. Perceptions are tainted by people being angry about delays when they are there.
    CDG, on the other hand, is fucking terrible in all circumstances. 

    Meh..Never really had bad experience at CDG.

    Granted, I've only been through there 4 times, but...

    Saw these yesterday and had to pick up a bag. Unsurprisingly, they slammed and would rank as one of the better Cheddar chips I've had. Washed them down with some Brawndo.

    But...

     

    Why not...

     

    Just get Cheetos?

     

    What's next?  Doritos Lays® Sour Cream and Onion Flavor?

  17. A couple things I haven't seen on here...

    The Clementinum and Astronomical Tower was kinda cool

    Nase maso for a burger - it was REALLY good.  It's a butcher shop that sells burgers. And they have (or had when I went) beer taps for you to pour your own beer which was nice.
