  1. There has to be a market for disguises/makeup to make brown people appear more white so they can go out in public without being apprehended.  Maybe an Uber like app but instead of a car picking you up, a group of honkies comes by and becomes your friend group so you can shop for groceries.

    Kinda like that SNL skit where Eddie Murphy did whiteface.

  2. I think I’ve told this story before, but the wife of a friend of mine took their SUV to the dealership for some minor repairs. Dealership says our loaner car is out for the day, but use this brand-new SUV to run your errands. Take your time. 
     
    Yep……. 

    That's how I was surprised with a new leased S-Class in my BearSchlong 1.0 simulation.

    Fuck I love version 2.0. My overhead is about 75% less.

    Except rn I got sucked into taking her to see Rick Springfield tonight with my son’s in-laws. The Woodlands GILF watching might be amusing.
  3. They are far from OTC.

    Costco hearing aids are awesome and usually no more than $1600. Their audiologists are great and facilities are equivalent to hearing tests that I have done at my ENT clinic.

    I went with the Phillips, almost 3 years ago. My dog chewed one up last week and Costco sent it back to see if it could be miraculously repaired. That said, Im getting a new hearing test and will buy a pair of the 9050s because I was so pleased with the previous model. And if the old 9030 can't be repaired, I might buy two pair of the latest model to have a backup pair, since Im 90 miles from the closest store, and I travel a lot and am rough on them. I can't live without them.

    Their repair and cleaning service is wonderful, and usually takes no more than 10 minutes, even if they have to swap out new speakers.

    They sell about 4 different brands (Sennheiser, Jabra, Philips and one other), and I can usually find a few hundred in other purchases whenever I make a Costco run.


  4. Just like the sirens on the Pedernales, which are specifically designed to give people close to the river advance warning so they can leave the low area and get to higher ground.
    BTW, I have years of involvement with Mo Ranch. “Get to higher ground” is 100% one of the protocols. Warning helps you do that.

    I'm scheduled to be on the Presbytery call this Saturday. Mo Ranch is on the agenda, so I’ll probably get a briefing.
  5. A little off topic, but the new Michael Connelly book, "Nightshade", is really good and it takes place on Catalina.  Main character is the head LASD cop on the island. 

    Read on your recommendation and enjoyed it. Appreciated it greatly since I spent a week on the island last year and could visualize it in my mind.

    My wife goes nuts buying local art on our travels so I’ve got a painting of the Casino in my dining room.
  6. My wife has found out Aiden Heartfiled has been found.  All our local Beaumont folks are accounted for.  Thanks be to God.  Give those volunteers the strength to carry on.  Can't imagine.  

    Indeed. I don't know Thad and Melanie very well, but they have been I'm my thoughts all week. When Judge built that river house he probably never imagined the disaster that would destroy it.
  7. These people's minds are so fucking broken.  At what point are the commissioners and judge liabile for gross negligence?  I used to live in San Francisco.  I moved there for work.  My family is from a tiny west Texas town.  My grandfather passed in 2019, so I took a late night plane in order to get there for the funeral.  When I arrived, the wake was already over, but the funeral director let me in to see the casket before the funeral.  After a few minutes, he started asking me where I lived, what I did, the usual, and when I said San Francisco, he went on this huge rant about what a hell hole it was, Obama, etc.  All while I'm sitting here in an otherwise empty church room trying to mourn my grandfather.  


    My daughter and her boyfriend flew down from Chicago to meet me at Lake Rayburn last week, where I was staying with a dozen or so from my wife’s coonass family. All weekend they kept asking her how she managed to navigate the city under the daily threat of being gunned down.
  8. Manassas is where I live and damn, I haven't heard that term in a while.  They're very hard working people and most around here seem to work 7 days a week.

    Cute little Berg. I walked the Bull Run 1 battlefield a few weeks ago for a few minutes during the heat wave, before heading to dinner in Falls Church.
  9. Texas family care network. https://txfcn.org/

    Great website. Synergies, partnerships, and other mealy-mouthed jargon just to say “we now run foster care for region 5.”

    A Pennsylvania company.

    Using that private agency as a placeholder for shenanigans in the DFCS system. “Privatizing” foster care - and they are calling in cases to CPS to remove not just one, but all the children in a family where there has been a removal, even if no evidence for subsequent removals exists.

    Example - a mom has a child removed and placed in foster care, but in the meantime gets her life in order and ends up having another child. No evidence of abuse or neglect, clean drug and alcohol tests - and the hospital where the birth occurs has no problem releasing the child to go home.

    Enter these thugs, many who retired from state employment, who call in an unwarranted CPS case for exigent removal of other children - no investigation, affidavit, or court order - because its a profit center, with costs shouldered by the state.

    What a lucrative racket! Makes one wonder if they pay their workers bonuses for each removal.

    In recent sessions, the state lege has been incrementally rolling back CPS authority, which in many cases makes good sense - only to have private contractors overreach.

    File under private prisons, state agencies bypassing the judiciary, ICE contractors, tow truck companies, etc.

    My friend owns a glass company. At lunch, I always joke “hey if business is lagging, I’ll grab my shotgun and go break some windows for you,” to which he exclaims “NO!.”

    Privatization is just another word for grift.
