Stay there a bunch, has a Grill which is nice as the older I get, the less I like going out.

Roses are red,
Your bylaws are thick,
Your mailbox is beige
And your committee’s a clique.
You measured my grass
Like a tyrant with twine,
Then fined me three hundred
For a weed by the pine.
Your emails are smug,
Your meetings run late,
You peaked in a cul-de-sac
Guarding a gate.
You patrol in a golf cart
With clipboard in hand,
A sheriff of mulch
In a beige little land.
So here’s to the HOA,
Petty and small—
May your roses get aphids
And your fence lean a wall.

Right he missed it is far more direct.

Do tell more.... would love to get a peak behind the curtain on this...

You were where I was after the NCAA basketball debacle last night. I had seen enough....

I view baseball largely as a statistical sport which means you have to ride the waves and you aren't going to win them all. The big lead hurt us as we relaxed and got careless with pitching.

Royals and Globalist Elite have found a way to use the earths natural warming and cooking trends to grift off the taxpayers. Enrichment scam.

I think people watch MLB then try to compare it to college ball. It's a different game.

Nothing like it because when those same places had big storms, they weren't over developed with half backs like they are now..... There is nothing new other recency bias....

Here are some past storms..

Yes — Helene fits a pattern the Southern Appalachians have seen before, but it was unusually widespread and destructive.

The closest mountain-flood comparisons:
1. Hurricane Camille, 1969 — Virginia Blue Ridge Probably the best historical analog for “tropical system hits mountains and turns into a deadly flash-flood/landslide event.” Camille’s remnants caused catastrophic flooding and landslides in Nelson County, Virginia, with extreme rainfall on the Blue Ridge slopes. NOAA notes Camille’s rain intensified with upslope flow near the mountains. ?

2. Hurricane Agnes, 1972 — Appalachians / Mid-Atlantic Agnes is the classic benchmark for broad inland flooding in the Appalachians and Susquehanna basin. It was not just wind; it was days of tropical rain over mountains and river basins. NOAA still refers to Agnes as the benchmark flood for the Susquehanna basin. ?

3. Frances and Ivan, 2004 — Western NC / East TN These two storms hit the Southern Appalachians close together and caused major flooding, slides, and river damage. For western North Carolina, 2004 was the “everybody remembers that one” modern comparison before Helene.

4. Tropical Storm Fred, 2021 — Western North Carolina Fred caused deadly flash flooding in Haywood County, NC. Smaller than Helene, but same basic mountain mechanism: tropical moisture, steep terrain, narrow valleys, fast runoff.

When you are driving several 100s of miles from the Gulf and you pass a town named Hurricane Mills, Hurricane Gulch and cross the Hurricane River, you that our forefathers knew that Hurricanes travel a long ways and blow out place subseptable to flash flooding.....

It was always a time bomb for the folks living in river valleys... near mountains....

I think he is the guy, we just need a booster buy us 3 more starters, 3 more set up guys, and 3 more closers.... All pitching.

We lost today because he went to conservative with pitching changes and Ole Miss started seeing the ball well late.
