    I live here at Canyon Lake near Startzville.  It’s put about 3 days worth of evaporation back in the lake so far.  That’s it.

    Sigh.

    Yeah, just not getting those 5-7" rain totals across multiple counties like we need, to make any real dent in the lakes.  Something is always better than nothing, but this isn't going to cut it for real improvement in the lakes.

    Still, the ground is primed and ready for mass runoff.  If we DO get a major hit, it'll be glorious.

    You're wrong.

    We'll get massive, flooding rains, starting about 500 yards EAST of the lake recharge zone.

    Shoal Creek gonna get slaughtered.

    And all that water will pass Longhorn dam and head on down the river.

    Well, I mean.....there's obtaining the right cuts of meat, the prep, setting up the right mise en place....

    ...then the kitchen cleanup, washing dishes, etc.

    All-in-all, I'd guess that his percentage of actual cannibalism-focused activity time was closer to 5% of his time.  So, a real number.  Anything worth doing is worth doing right.

    Ah, but the original quote stated "99% of the time this guy wasn't eating people."  I believe that applies specifically to the actual consumption of people.  I think it's a stretch to include meal prep and cleanup.

    Two days over the watershed though… 

    stream flow now… totals over 48 hours. Man if we could get 4-5 more over the watershed the next few days that would be HUGE.

    kxan showing rain more likely east of the lakes the next two days. not saying no rain out west but not the bullseye we need. we'll see. 

    Yeah the rain has been nice, especially in the Buchanan recharge zone, but what we really need is a 5+ inches across a wide swath of the recharge zones, all at once.  With the ground already being saturated and ready for runoff, THAT would be the kind of event to get multiple streamflows up into the 10K-20K cfs range, which is what it takes to move the lakes feet at a time, rather than inches at a time.

    No teams from last year being in Omaha this year is cool too 

    Agree.  This infographic asserts that it's the first time since 1957.  I saw it on Facebook so I assume it's true.

    Through a hail-smashed window and everything.

    But that was a long time ago in Austin summer precipitation time.  Now... it's never going to rain in Austin again. :(

    Because large portions of Europe shut down during August?

    Yes, this.  2026 schedule is about 1 week earlier than normal, to be honest.  This year in 2025 it goes from after Hungary on 8/3, resuming with Zandvoort on 8/31.  Last year Spa was 7/28 and Zandvoort was 8/25.  Similar for years prior.

    I was sequestered in Maggie Mae's one night when Dennis Quaid and Meg Ryan were shooting some shitty movie all around central Texas.  Rotel & The Hot Tomatoes were playing.  I got bored, decided to leave, exited while security made a bad attempt to stop me, turned right on the sidewalk and ran full frontal into Meg wearing a teddy, walking west with Quaid.  I heard a director's "cut" and decided I needed to be gone.  Still, Meg Ryan in a teddy.

    Why was $599 and under chosen as no need to report amount? 

    Not sure but to pay your player $5M without reporting, all you have to do is break it down into 8,348 smaller deals.  Simple.

  10. Canada in May, Monaco in June.  Sigh.

    On the bright side, with school-aged kids, Spa has never really been a realistic trip for me at the end of August.  But in mid-July it becomes a lot more do-able.  And I was already planning a Europe trip next summer.

    Bucket list might be getting one item shorter...

    Force field operating just fine in Georgetown.

    Ugh.  Solid red line of storms heading straight to Austin from the west since about 4 AM, and then... poof.

  12. I once ate lunch at a table next to Al Pacino's at the Cafe Pontalba on Jackson Square in New Orleans.  He was very polite to the waitstaff.  

    I once ate dinner at a table next to Sandra Bullock at her restaurant, Bess.  She had a big table for her family and my wife and I were at a 2-top right next to it.  My slightly tipsy wife tried to take a picture of her by pretending she was taking a picture of me with Sandra's table in the background.  The staff came by and discreetly and politely asked her to knock it off.

    Danny Davito fucked my dad’s wife (his first one- not my mom) while he was married to her. Old man claimed she was the hottest woman in every room, so that’s more or less definitive proof celebrity makes up for everything. 
    That’s all I’ve got for famous people.
