  1. White US citizens
  2. My wife was born in the US to a Korean non-citizen who was in the US for school, then immediately adopted. We live in Texas. Can anyone tell me how concerned we should be?
  3. 1.2 million acres today (plus weakened protections of 58 million additional acres with the rescinded roadless rule), NWRs, NFs and NPs tomorrow. I think anyone who lives in Texas and gives the tiniest shit about the outdoors would agree that more federal lands is preferable to our situation, where over 96% of the land is privately held.
  4. I loved this hike. Went with the now-wife in 2016. We woke up early from the Eagle Creek Campground and did a total of about 12 miles out-and-back. Hardly saw anybody before our turn-around spot. There were at least a half-dozen waterfalls on that 6-mile stretch. I think there was a fire out there a year or two after we did it, so I'm curious how it looks now. It was incredibly green when we went.
  5. And public lands
  6. The 3 year-old was watching a show about some Australian zoo. They showed a bilby (see below if you're marsupial-illiterate), which he referred to as a "bunny pig". Pretty spot-on observation, honestly.
  7. There are hardly any locations in the lower 48 greater than 5 miles from a road. Can't wait for the Trump expressway over Crater Lake. Driving allllllll the way around is just such a hassle.
  8. I'm sure the people who have no problem with this would be totally cool with passages from the Quran or the Seven Tenets of Satanism adorning an elementary school classroom.
  9. This is one of those "great moments in Surly history" threads. But instead of a single post revealing a fetish, or posting a paystub, or analyzing hotel curtains and eliciting a day or two of hilarious responses, this one provides seemingly endless amusement and intrigue. Hats off to you and @mooseoutfront for two of the best ongoing threads on this website.
  10. And that's what foreign policy is all about! Can't wait for a couple days of cool TV to carry us closer to football season!
  11. Lots of crow sitting on the table uneaten...
  12. Here was ours from NYE 2016
  13. The 3 year-old has suddenly started with the incessant "why" questions. He was also climbing all over me while I gave the baby a bottle this morning and when I told him he was being a distraction he said "I'm not being distraction, I'm being perfect."
  14. You know he's angrily name-dropping Hitler and the Kim's since his birthday party isn't as cool as the parades in their honor.
  15. Nothing strikes fear in the hearts of your enemies like a tank rolling down an empty street sounding like a poorly maintained huffy 10-speed.
  16. Well, I'm horrified and shocked, but 0% surprised.
  17. Crazy that this will be my 4th father's day, with a freshly turned 3 year-old and 8 month-old. My life has largely been stay-at-home dad since the first one came, and that period is likely coming to an end before long. Taking care of 2 little boys is not complicated, but it has been varying degrees of exhausting, rewarding, aggravating, joyous, boring, nostalgic, terrifying and ever-changing. I never missed babyhood with the oldest, since we always expected a 2nd and the he was never easy. But now that the 2nd is running out of days in the baby carrier attached to my chest, it's crazy to think that this period of our lives is almost over.
  18. I dropped a c-bomb to my wife regarding Nancy Mace today. I regretted it only because the 3 year-old was around and he's more than happy to imitate these days.
  19. What the fuck is this idiot trying to say here?
  20. My phone is predicting 2.75 inches overnight here in Round Rock. But that's true just about every night.
  21. I'm no big Starbucks fan, but Dutch bros is coffee for 12 year-olds.
  22. S2E3 was unbelievably bizarre and hilarious. The finale was truly shocking. What a wonderfully convoluted journey to get to that ending.
  23. Well, the first 2 sets were interesting.
  24. I just started the show. Thought I'd get a little high and enjoy some fun zombie shit. Didn't foresee getting emotionally gutted for an hour and a half.
