re: Condos @ Venice Marina

I have a buddy that owns one, yes they are nice. It's probably 50/50 individuals and companies. You cannot get insurance, well you can, but it's not worth it due to cost. They typically survive hurricanes with minimal damage, but a Katrina type event could be a total loss, and keep in mind Katrina was 20 years ago.
Watch the SS the entire time. He initially started walking straight toward his dugout. Then for some unknown reason changed his course that would get him closer to Homeplate. He is obviously yelling something to the team or Jones as Jones is jogging down the 3rd base line.
Feisty.

re: Hopedale Bowfishing Tournament?

You 100% they were bow fishing boats?

Could be tower boats headed there for the Power Pole redfish tournament.

It was a terrible decision, and I don't say that in hindsight. As soon as they announced the pinch hitter, group of us watching asked "what the frick are we doing?"


In the moment, and in jest, I asked if Jay bet against the game... that decision combined with Mayers in with bases loaded, a know pitcher with control issues, had me chugging beers.
I still don't get the decision to PH for Stanfield in game 3 against Bama. I understand the LF bat, but you don't pull your best SEC hitter right there.

That should work great for snapper fisherman around rigs for sure.

I have not heard good or bad one way or another concerning near shore/inshore.

The only explanation I was given as why it's not more popular in saltwater is that Live scope is currently limited to 200 foot of water depth.

I would love to have Garmin's' LVS34 to play with in December in Venice.

Nope! You opinion is not based on fact and that's not clearly addressed in SCOTUS documents.
we can do this all day if you want?


order properly requires the Government to “facilitate”
Abrego Garcia’s release from custody in El Salvador and to
ensure that his case is handled as it would have been had
he not been improperly sent to El Salvador.
The intended
scope of the term “effectuate” in the District Court’s order
is, however, unclear, and may exceed the District Court’s
authority. The District Court should clarify its directive,
with due regard for the deference owed to the Executive
Branch in the conduct of foreign affairs. For its part, the
Government should be prepared to share what it can concerning the steps it has taken and the prospect of further
steps. The order heretofore entered by THE CHIEF JUSTICE
is vacated.

Would you agree there are other alternatives? Or does your choice of the reply "The alternative" imply it's the ONLY other reason?

Every court who has assessed this case, including the Supreme Court, disagrees.


"Improper" equals "Illegal" today? Thought you realized the error?
quote:

What is beyond debate is that the Supreme Court has upheld a district court ruling that Garcia was wrongfully deported. It is this lawlessness that troubles me.


As stated to you before there has not been a law broken, so your "troubles" should be moot. NO LAW is being or has been broken with returning him to his birth country. USSC simply stated it was improper, a very key use of that term in that situation by the judges.
quote:

IIRC, the USSC said it was "unlawful"



Nope!

quote:

Improper = violation of the law = illegal. This isn't in dispute.


That right here is your fatal flaw. It's absolutely disputable and any sane person with minor understanding of the English language knows the two words are NOT equal. You know this and should do better.

Well sure. The legal portion is settled. The removal is illegal.


Saying 1000 times does not make it true.

I'll ask again, show your work where his removal was illegal. I've already called out one of your arguments on this, and I will keep asking every time I see you make this false statement.

re: Pool troubles

Some great suggestions in here. There is obviosity something in your salt system malfunctioning, address that with a recommended technician.

Now to the pool. Treat it as if it were a chlorine pool not a salt, assume your salt system is down
Get a full test run as if it were a chlorine pool and adjust as needed, keep the pump/filter running 24/7. I test mine daily with a home kit when issues arise, and weekly if there is minimal rain.
Keep your chlorine between 3 and 6 and pH between 7.2 and 7.8. Use cheap bottle bleach from the store to raise chlorine, don't depend on your salt system. Can raise pH using a box of Borax.

My issues are typically low pH and/or high phosphates, and often happens after hard rains. that's me, sounds like you have other issues.

Not saying what we have is the best system out there, but we decided against salt due to families fighting theirs. We went with a UV light, and a manual dial chlorinator, it's been a great system, spend less $300 annually on chemicals. But we also have a fiberglass pool and they are known for being way easier to control versus gunite.

It's because you don't have the facts right in your head for whatever reason. No laws are being ignored or broken, there is no violation of the constitution, etc.. it's a simple issue made complicated by some people's feelings. .
quote:

just want the Government to abide by the Court’s ruling, which requires that the Government behave lawfully but in no way decides whether Garcia should be deported.


They have in no way ignored the SCOTUS ruling and have in fact said they will send a plane over to get him should El Savador agree to let him go.

So, I don't see an issue for you to be concerned about.
