  1. Yes, bus from Austin. And they'll even bring them home on the bus because it's a long haul from Dallas to get them. Adding three hours from Austin makes it REALLY long. It still gets hot up there but I don't think it's quite like the Hill Country camps. They're kind of up in the beginning of the foothills so I'm sure that helps. The camp owners are really sweet. They're aggy but they're good people. Hot Springs is fun -- once. It's a slog year after year after that. Better to go with a group of parents and stay at Lake Hamilton. We stayed in Mena (on the other side) the night before a couple of times just for a change. (That was Barry Seal's base of cocaine smuggling operations -- the Tom Cruise movie -- and there's an oversized broken-down, Scooby Doo Mystery airport just on the outskirts of town.)
  2. There was a NBC story last week that said the US had four 1000-year weather events across the country just that week -- the Hill Country Flood, flooding in NM, torrential rain in Chicago and I forget where the fourth spot was but there's definitely no climate change involved. None whatsoever.
  3. Dotard is going all Sol Rosenberg
  4. My apologies if this is was discussed. I missed it. The burnt orange tie Michael Taafe wore to SEC Media Days had the initials of all the girls who drowned at Camp Mystic.
  5. Both my kids went to Ozark. They loved it.
  6. That was me. My wife said our close friend whose son goes to La Junta, and had just come home the week before the flood, said he received something from La Junta that said they would not be operating for at least the next two summers.

  8. So it's much worse than "chronic venous insufficiency"?

  10. Edit: my bad, I’m lost in my threads
  11. I wasn’t aware of the context of the 2021 meeting until my wife cleared it up. The “strings” and “attachments” the local yokels wanted to avoid for accepting Biden’s money were COVID-related (mask and vaccine mandates).
  12. Trump's brain is so cooked he's forgotten he's the one who nominated Powell to the position.
  13. This. The minute Dick Eastland saw the "life threatening flooding possible/expected" he should've immediately shot into action as far as getting the little kids out of the cabins nearest the water and in the most danger. Nothing was going to save some of the buildings from flooding but they'd be overwhelmed with support from alums etc to help rebuild if flood insurance wasn't enough. Negligence (i.e. waiting 45 mins to start getting the kids out of the cabins) leading to 27 campers/counselors to drowning in the river is going to cost his family everything Mystic-related.
  14. Nightmare fuel: https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/16/opinion/emil-bove-trump-loyalty.html?unlocked_article_code=1.W08.vCuw.fC4twrtFcbap&smid=url-share Trump’s Plans to Put Emil Bove on the Supreme Court
  15. Drew Magary of Deadspin fame gets it: https://www.sfgate.com/sf-culture/article/i-wonder-why-trump-wont-release-epstein-files-20772363.php HED: Jeez, I wonder why Trump won't release the Epstein files
  16. Mostly this ... ... but also some of this. And finally ...
  17. Charlie Kirk is getting close to Tucker Carlson levels of face punchability. https://www.threads.com/@factpostnews/post/DMLXAJ1BVaH?xmt=AQF09xjGTt2qE5Nt6-BqF_dCH0j7voHZZleG80Ix2AGyTg
  18. I don't throw it around lightly but certain people deserve it. She does. Bondi will finally release something, the 'definitive' files but they will be manipulated to pain liberals in a bad light and Trump will be nowhere on it. Also, Wired is reporting that nearly three minutes are missing from the edited Epstein jail cell video. https://www.wired.com/story/the-fbis-jeffrey-epstein-prison-video-had-nearly-3-minutes-cut-out/
