Who wouldn't take that?

Wasn't there a news story several years back showing that a lot of the unpaid red light camera tickets were from BR Public vehicles?

Kind of feel guilty weighing in, because I know I got blessed with an A+ dad. But I'll participate to help represent what I consider A+...

My dad is a real Christian. Not a fake one. He's the same man at church as at home as at work... The opposite of a hypocrite. He was a strong disciplinarian, but it was fair and deserved and consistent. He would always take it back to the Bible verses that explained the morality of the transgression. He's been teaching Sunday school for probably 40+ years now.
Retired from Exxon, great at building/construction, works on his own vehicles and quick to help family. He's loved my mom since high school and we never questioned that she was the core of all his decisions. He showed us how a wife should be loved and appreciated.
He's honest to a fault, but not afraid to give correction to anyone where needed. We might disagree on minor things, but we always can respect each other's opinions and sometimes change our own based on the talk.
He took us camping a lot, trips to the smokies a couple times, Florida every year... He got creative to make middle class stretch really far. We weren't rotten, but didn't lack for anything. At mom's direction he would forego a lot of overtime to be our baseball coach or whatever. He didn't take us hunting as much as he did fishing (he never got taken hunting growing up, so it was a blind spot for him).

I'm over 40 now (probably making a lot more than he did, since he pushed me academically) and I similarly want my kids to think we're just scraping by so that appreciate what they have. I've never waivered in my faith and he is largely responsible for that. Like him, I spend a ton of time with my family and honestly we moved back to Baton Rouge just so my daughters could grow up knowing my parents better.
I cherish my parents, and one day my brisket will beat his, but it will take more trial and error. He set my brother and I up for success in all of life.
A+ if that's as high as the scale goes.

Why didn't they hold the protest closer to a home depot location?

Did you learn nothing from the Covid farce?

Been building a homemade Gaga Ball pit for my oldest daughters the last few days. Today I got my 8 year old girl out there to help me construct & paint it. Was a lot of fun working together!

We have a big extended family. We do get-togethers with grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and cousins' kids, so most holidays are a mini reunion. As typical a couple Christmases back, we had about 9 families spanning 4 generations all there for gumbo and white elephant.

One family brings a neighbor to the party. Friends of the family are always welcome. She's 19, attractive with dark hair. Pretty quiet, but seemed to have a good sense of humor.

A few months later, we find out the uncle (like 67 years old) has been cheating with neighbor girl. Leaves his wife of 30+ years for this girl, and in turn shuns his kids and his grandchildren. Undefeated...

I had made the comment as soon as I heard, that this girl might have daddy issues, but there's no way she was the first one he had cheated with. A dog chasing cars might catch one, but I doubt the first one it catches is a corvette... Maybe a mail truck or something...

Then the news spills that in getting with the neighbor girl, he broke off a 9-year affair going with his best friend's wife. Childhood buddy he had grown up with, and he's double crossing him.

Somehow, the uncle still feels like a victim when confronted about this relationship. If sociopathic narcissism had a portrait...

Driving past the old Shaw building (or CB&I or B&R, whatever it is now) tonight, the accent lights at the top were alternating purple / gold as they often do during football/baseball season.
But there were two lights to the right that didn't match. One was red & the other blue.

Clearly, this double rainbow is a nod from someone closely tied to the coaching search.
Confirmed - Kiffin's inbound!
