My brother is HPD on Southeast side of Houston. Lots of 911 calls for all kinds of shite in apartment complexes. Perfectly normal to respond at 1am and there are kids of all ages running around outside. I’m talking some in diapers,,3,4,5+ years old. Not a parent in sight.

He just shakes his head and says these kids are fricked. They got no chance. It’s a bonafide miracle if these kids emerge from these hellholes and become productive citizens.

A couple of Woody Allen movies come to mind.

Kind of the same in Mexico. Except for very rural areas.

It’s called NIL turnaround.

Same, really want to take 2 out of 3. Not the end of the world if we don't but it kind of stalls momentum of the last 3 weeks if we lose the series.

Oh... and frick the Texas AD. :cheers:

Was time to get over it and move on right after the move was announced. Timing of the leak was bad but not his fault it leaked. I never complain if someone moves on for whatever reason. Apparently he had some issues with AD and promises not kept. Understandable to be perfectly frank. It’s over now.

Ready for the weekend series.

In Houston there are areas where the use of gas powered leaf blowers is severely restricted to certain hours. Been like that for 15 years. Residents also managed to get restrictions on train speed and the use of horns at night.

Money talks....

:lol:

But there was no vaccine mandate at all says one idiot poster on the Poliboard. :lol:

Ummm... yes it sure the frick was.

Certainly not the first time I have posted this but I was in the offshore hydraulic fluids business in oil & gas for many years. Offshore they use water-based fluids so they can discharge to sea in deepwater water after functioning a valve. Fluids have food based dyes in them to assist with identification if a fluid is leaking somewhere topside. Some of you guys offshore know MacDermid, Castrol, and Houghton... BOP, Mocomp/Tensioner, and water-based production control fluids.

Some of the food grade dyes used in the Gulf of Mexico in water-based"environmentally friendly" fluids just 3 years ago were banned in Norway in the late 90s from discharge to sea. In the GOM they passed required EPA toxicity testing until 4 or 5 years ago and even then they were given X number of years to try and find replacement dyes.

So 24+ years ago many of the dyes found in our food here in the U.S. were banned from discharge into the North Sea because they were tested and found to be too toxic and had insufficient biodegradation to be discharged to the open sea. Apparently it was still good enough for human consumption in the good ole USA.

Crazy what food companies have been poisoning us and our kids with. It would be considered criminal in Norway if it was 1998. Autism on the rise in the U.S..... you don't say??

Impossible. I've tried everything. Probably cut off over 300 knees in my front yard over the last 15 years. Have 2 big ones in the yard that we put in with a 80" spade truck 20 years ago. I HATE these ankle breakers with a passion.
