Looking at a week long trip to BBNP in mid October with the wife. Wondering about the temps and the crowds. We're both early 60s and are in relatively good shape, but not looking to hike everyday the entire week. Our limit would probably be 15 miles for a single hike. Thoughts and comments on where we should concentrate our efforts. Probably looking at a VRBO as we're not much into camping. I've read most of this thread and have looked at the site: https://bigbendchat.com Lots of information to digest. TIA
Perfect time. You should hike every day. 15 miles is way too long. Just do one short/medium hike per day, like Lost Mine, The Window (or to the Window, then take Oak Spring Trail downhill to Cattail Falls, one way, leave a vehicle at parking lot for Cattail Falls), Balanced Rock, Upper Burro Mesa Pouroff (personal favorite, be sure to scramble down to the pouroff), Santa Elena, cross to Boquillas, do Ernst Tinaja and Pine Canyon if you are in high clearance. Download All Trails app, then download the trails for offline use.

American satellite intelligence did not detect a missile launch, and there is no other evidence a surface-to-air weapon took out the plane.

Saw some video on Instagram today of dead fish in the Lagoon. The water was as low as I’ve seen it in 25 years of fishing the mid coast. Looked like someone pulled the drain plug.
I saw it, not good. Still, my boat hates me. She's been sitting up for months. I am a bad boat owner

U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken also commented on the developing situation.
"The fact that Prigozhin made a direct challenge to Putin's authority, the fact that he questioned publicly the very premises that Putin has advanced for the aggression against Ukraine – that's playing out and will continue to play out," Blinken told MSNBC's Andrea Mitchell on Wednesday when asked about the incident.
"We've seen the ongoing drama, too, of where is Prigozhin, what is the arrangement with Putin?" he added. "If I were Mr. Prigozhin, I would remain very concerned. NATO has an 'Open Door' policy; Russia has an open windows policy, and he needs to be very focused on that."
The "open windows policy" was a tongue-in-cheek reference to the fact that numerous prominent Russian officials and businessmen who fell out of favor with Putin died by what local authorities described as falling out of windows or off of balconies.

Everyone assumes Putin had the guy whacked, but what if air defense just mistook his plane for a Malaysian airliner?
I mean, with what we've seen so far, can we really rule out incompetence?
15 minutes ago, Johnny Chimpo said:How are y’all not finding the news that Russian air defenses shot down the plane? I was on financial times and they reported that a couple of missiles were launched from Russian air defense towards the jet. I also saw the Twitter videos of it falling from the sky, it looked broken like it had been impacted by something.
in this video (the second tweet) you can see that it was shot down

Nice TD throw to Gibson then OL late hit on Ravens DB, fight breaks out, and Cosmi is griddying all alone in the end zone and Josh Harris is drunk in the booth wearing a maroon Costco wrinkled polo with Troy and Joe, trying to shake Joe’s hand while he is gesturing with it while talking…..

I'm all for strong but reasonable DUI laws. Not gonna get into the debate over what the legal limit should be, because frankly I don't know enough about the particulars to do so. But even with zero alcohol in his system, this POS's actions behind the wheel should put him away for a long, long time.
I guess I'm just a caveman. My primitive mind can’t grasp these concepts. I don't understand how we ended up with laws that can hammer the guy for drinking and driving, but can't hammer him just as hard for driving like a maniac and killing someone because of it. The whole point of having harsh penalties for DUI is supposed to come from wanting to deter crazy, dangerous driving such as this, so it's just bizarre that he can't he be severely punished just based on the criminality of his driving, even when the blood test documentation went wrong.
The situation is not as you perceive it.
I posted about this upthread.The state doesn’t need proof of intoxication.
For example, in Texas intoxication manslaughter is a second-degree felony. What is also a second-degree felony is aggravated assault. Same punishment range.
Aggravated assault requires intentionally knowingly or RECKLESSLY causing serious bodily injury, or causing bodily injury via the use or exhibition of a deadly weapon. The Ruggs case would be very easy to prove agg assault, either SBI or a DW.
So, in Texas, with a situation like this, a prosecutor with half a brain, would allege for each victim one count of intoxication manslaughter and one count of aggravated assault to hedge their bets. The only real difference is that in intoxication manslaughter cases is the judge can stack the sentences per victim per Ch 3 TPC.
