  1. Instead of Pagosa Springs, for the month of July we are staying the month in the mountains about 15 miles west of Golden. The house is around 9k feet which should be absolutely gorgeous weather wise. I love Pagosa Springs but the wife thinks it's a little too far from civilization (that's what I love about it) to retire. So we are going to explore the foothill towns west of Denver as ideal places to retire. Nice compromise between mountain towns and close to civilization (major airport, restaurants, shopping, doctors/dentists, etc). I'm thinking Loveland but we'll see. Anyway, counting the days until I can leave Austin/Texas for a glorious month. Retirement cannot get here soon enough.
  2. Found not guilty of murder, guilty of manslaughter. https://wiredposts.com/news/christopher-gregor-not-guilty-of-murder-but-jury-convicts-of-manslaughter-in-death-of-son-corey-micciolo/ A jury in New Jersey found Christopher Gregor not guilty of murdering his 6-year-old son Corey Micciolo. The jury did convict Gregor on the lesser charge of aggravated manslaughter, which carries a sentence of 10 to 30 years in prison in the state of New Jersey. A sentencing hearing has been scheduled for Aug. 11 . Gregor shook his head in apparent disbelief and anger after hearing the verdict and later appeared to be fighting back tears while the victim’s mother, Bre Micciolo, openly wept in court. Jurors also convicted Gregor of endangering the welfare of a child after viewing a video of him forcing his son to run on a treadmill despite the child repeatedly falling off the workout machine at the gym in his apartment complex. Micciolo filed an Order to Show Cause seeking emergency custody of Corey just days before his death, while DCPP investigated her report that Gregor abused Corey by forcing him to run on a treadmill. DCPP had seen the video, and a case worker later told police that he photographed and investigated bruising on Corey six days after that incident. A judge did not grant Micciolo’s request for emergency custody of Corey in a ruling submitted to the court just one day before his death. The preliminary findings submitted by DCPP about the March 20 incident played a crucial role in the judge’s decision, says the ruling, which was obtained by Inside Edition Digital. The ruling notes, however, that the court “does not find that … Corey is in danger of imminent and irreparable harm. Therefore, the Court does not find a temporary modification of the parties’ custody and parenting time arrangement appropriate at this time.” Micciolo dropped off Corey at Gregor’s home, as was ordered by the court, at about 9 a.m. on April 2, 2021. She told police she last heard from Gregor at about 3:30 p.m., when he told her he was taking Corey to the hospital. Two hours after he arrived at the hospital, Corey died.
  3. Don't see anything on any of the major news sites so most likely not nefarious.
  4. There's some viral flu/whatever shit going around. I got picked it up last Wed night on a business trip to Pennsylvania. Started with a scratchy throat and sinus. It's been a full week of thick sinus issues, non-stop coughing, fatigue, on and off again fever. Got tested yesterday. Not Covid or flu, doc thinks it is viral. I haven't been this sick since, well, Covid but I was feeling fine after a week with Covid. Not this shit. A week later, still feeling like absolute shit. This motherfucking cough will not go away. Gave it to the wife. She's vaxxed with the latest and greatest. Didn't prevent her from getting this shit. Reading the Austin Reddit board, this is going around in Austin. Same symptoms. Some tested positive to Covid, many didn't. The kicker is that the cough lasts 1-2 months. Yay me.
  5. He's 40, how does he have eligibility?
  6. Unless you have a Lambo dealership in town. Sucks to be poor.
  7. Fitlump's tears.
  8. Interesting that he family's release made no mention of the ex-financee. It had to be deliberate.
  9. From reading between the lines and speculation on the internet, he fell off the wagon a month ago. Supposedly his fiancee called off the wedding. Maybe the first led to the second which lead the today. But it's definitely suicide. Ricky's Instagram post alludes to it.
  10. I erroneously decided to read the comments. Got damn there are stupid fucking people on this planet.
  11. This is the norm. We'll be breaking records until we all die. https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/mexico-heat-wave-1.7214308 "In the next 10 to 15 days, the country will experience the highest temperatures ever recorded," researchers from the National Autonomous University of Mexico (UNAM) said in a statement earlier this week. They called the heat wave "unprecedented."
  12. It's a great place for families with younger children. If you have toddlers, the shallow section is perfect for them. It's not uber crowded like BSP. Mostly local families and not many tourists.
  13. Who's going to charge him, the DA? This is why most everyone hates cops and the DAs who protect them.
  14. Let's pretend nothing happened. https://www.wave3.com/2024/05/23/sources-say-scottie-scheffler-arresting-lmpd-detective-mutually-agree-charges-should-not-proceed/ Sources with direct knowledge told WAVE News Troubleshooters that both the officer involved, Detective Bryan Gillis, and Scheffler’s team believe it would be best for everyone if the charges don’t proceed. They mutually acknowledge, sources said, that it was a chaotic situation and that they both want to move on. Sources added they’ve both expressed that the focus should be on ensuring John Mills, the man who died in a crash that morning, is remembered.
  15. Fuck cops. Lying pieces of shits.
  16. I'm watching the Sky Sports stream of the PGA. Clark was chipping. The dude says Clarks chipping has sucked and call him "Edward Scissorhands" hoping Clark would prove him wrong. Clark duffs his chip. Dude goes, "Edward Scissorhands lives". Brutal He should buddy up to Rory. Rory needs Rahm for the Ryder Cup and is all chummy with Liv dudes for that reason.
  17. This may get interesting because supposedly Ricky is one of the guys who gave Rahm a cold shoulder at the Masters.
  18. Good news. Summer 2023 was the hottest in 2000 years. No way 2024 is worse, right? Right? https://abcnews.go.com/US/temperatures-measured-summer-2023-unparalleled-past-2000-years/story?id=110171017 Temperatures measured during summer 2023 'unparalleled' to past 2,000 years, researchers say A closer look at tree rings is adding to the growing list of evidence that shows unprecedented temperatures measured on Earth over the past year. The summer of 2023 was the warmest in the Northern Hemisphere extra-tropical regions -- from about New Orleans to the North Pole -- in the past 2,000 years, according to a study published in Nature on Tuesday.
  19. Racism, patriotism, religious idolatry, people being too stupid for their own good...don't need a whole lot these days to encourage misguided convictions.
  20. Idiot pleads guilty to plan to attack substations in Baltimore area. https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/maryland-woman-pleads-guilty-baltimore-power-stations-plot/story?id=110215143 A Maryland woman accused of plotting to carry out attacks on multiple energy substations surrounding Baltimore pleaded guilty on Tuesday to federal conspiracy and firearms charges, court records show. Sarah Beth Clendaniel, of Catonsville, was charged last year with conspiring with a Florida-based founder of the neo-Nazi group Atomwaffen to carry out the attacks, in what prosecutors described as a racism-fueled plot to spark mass chaos in the majority-Black city. She initially pleaded not guilty to conspiracy to damage an energy facility. She was subsequently also charged with being a prohibited person in possession of a firearm and pleaded guilty to both charges in federal court on Tuesday. "If we can pull off what I'm hoping ... this would be legendary," Clendaniel was quoted in charging documents telling a federal informant about her plot with Brandon Russell to target five substations around Baltimore. She was further quoted telling an FBI confidential source she was "determined" to carry out the attacks, adding, "It would probably permanently completely lay this city to waste" if they were successful. According to plea documents, Clendaniel agreed that if she were to carry out the attacks the total costs of repairs to the energy facilities would have exceeded $100,000. The guilty plea paves the way for Clendaniel to now provide cooperation with federal authorities against Russell -- who was incarcerated when the two first met, stemming from a 2018 conviction related to his possession of an unregistered destructive device. The pair crafted their plot to shoot up the five substations while both were out on probation, when Russell began communicating with a confidential FBI source in 2022 about his hopes of attacking critical infrastructure sites, according to charging documents. Russell allegedly told the informant that "putting holes in transformers ... is the greatest thing somebody can do," and told the informant they should carry out an attack "when there is greatest strain on the grid" to incur mass disruption. Russell further told the informant of Clendaniel and his alleged coordination with her to attack an energy facility and offered to connect the two to coordinate their attacks in order to "maximize impact." Upon meeting the informant, Clendaniel told them in early 2023 that she expected she would die of a terminal illness in a few months and was hoping to obtain a rifle as soon as possible in order to attack five substations she had singled out around Baltimore -- all on the same day. "[Clendaniel] described how there was a 'ring' around Baltimore and if they hit a number of them all in the same day, they 'would completely destroy this whole city,'" the affidavit stated. Prosecutors agreed they would not recommend Clendaniel serve a sentence over 18 years in connection with her plea agreement, according to court documents, though the judge overseeing her case will ultimately determine the length of her prison term. Russell has pleaded not guilty to a conspiracy charge in the case and is set to stand trial in July.
