  1. Wait….”horses?”
  2. Seems like Sequin is getting bombed? Looks like a blob parked there, and a friend of ours just sent a video of her streets running like creeks, with heavy rain still falling.
  3. And see, ideas like this are why our country still has a fighting chance.
  4. Well goddamn son, that’s a fair idea.
  5. You’ve got this. Go balls to the wall. Go nuts on this one. Testicles.
  6. There’s actually something to having some fifth columnists join ICE to both sabotage their ops and document their unconstitutional activities from the inside. Espionage and infiltration against hostile military force is a thing, and we’re presently occupied by one.
  7. Nah. Cant spend anything you got rid of long ago.
  8. Do share logistical information like roads and such, it matters here. We’re presently out of state. We’ve already sent our first round of money to WCK and Presbyterian Disaster Assistance (a lot of the denominational church groups really do great with community-level response, the Baptists also have a good setup - we’re just friends with the head of PDA, so communicated with her directly).
  9. Yeah. This. Again, just the urge to puke.
  10. I’m just kicking myself for not opening a store that markets to fucking moneyed tech people and hipsters who think nothing of paying $15 for a jar of regular Kalamata olives, $20 for a small jar of house brand Nutella, $25 for a rotisserie chicken, $10 EACH for raw chicken breasts…and Jesus, it goes on. Just printing money selling shit to people who want the image. Their branded reusable grocery bag? $138. I didn’t miss a decimal. That’s the price. For a canvas shopping bag with “EREWHON” on it.
  11. To offer some contrast, we’re in SOCAL right now. My daughter had heard tale of a store called Erewhon. So we stopped in the Manhattan Beach location. Jesus tapdancing Christ. It’s one of the worst things I’ve ever seen. For example, isn’t ALL water “hydrogen infused?” And here you go…their house brand Louisiana hot sauce. Check out the fucking price. For fucking hot sauce. Our species had a good run, but I think we’re done here.
  12. Yep. That’s the hope, for as many as can be. Yeesh.
  13. Typo on Dodge…but maybe not…
  14. If we deported all Dodgers Ram owners, we’d be on to something.
  15. Yep. While a lot of very loud people insist that climate change is fake, the people whose jobs and lives and money depends on designing and planning for such events are doing just that. But it’s still a bitch to predict these things in real-time.
  16. Fucking hell. I served on a board with Jane a few years back.
  17. Yeah, this whole situation still makes me want to puke. Mother Nature gives zero fucks, and no matter how much we think we know and can predict…we haven’t figured her out all the way. And this state in particular is unforgiving in that respect.
  18. What’s a bit odd is that the forecasts seemed to totally miss this risk. There was talk of rain, mostly w of 35, but not of any major flood risk. It’s not common for forecasts to miss so widely these days.
  19. Mo Ranch reports no power or phone, but everyone safe. They have lots of high ground there, and very few buildings are down low.
  20. Goddamn, that makes me want to puke.
  21. When he and Yeomans were working together on I think the big freeze...that was as good as weather coverage gets. Seriously, they were both A-teamers, and played off of each other perfectly to communicate how alarming and big a deal it was, without coming across as hysterical or hyperbolic.
  22. You may have a future as my third assistant director of merchandising and selling cheap chinese shit falsely labeled as made in america because fuck the rubes. Sure, it's a long title, but you can see that it has lots of responsibilities.
  23. I offer my services as a candidate, consultant, coffee boy, whatever, to the America Party. Due to my extensive posting history on the internets, and the fact that my meme game is strong, I think a $50 million compensation package is appropriate. And I will take whatever political positions the America Party chooses to adopt. Because I am embracing this era of grift and absolute amoral whoredom. If you can't beat em, join em.
  24. How do the lakes' asses take that length? Seems we're gonna find out. This is always the way it goes.
  25. Correct. As observed by a federal meteorologist in the 20s, I think - Texas is the land of perpetual drought, soaked by occasional devastating floods. That's the way it is, and always has been. Some of those are becoming more extreme, but being a land of some extremes is nothing new. And I've been headed to Hunt (one of the sites along the Guad up that road) when a flood hit. I had to bail out (literally backed my truck up once I hit a spot where the rushing water was up to my hubs - NOPE), go back into Kerrville, and come at it from the north end, where the road doesn't cross the river at any low points. A Hunt school board member wasn't so lucky that night.
