AI Overview

Acadians were sent to the Falkland Islands (then called Îles Malouines) as part of the British deportation (Le Grand Dérangement) in the 1750s and 1760s, with French colonizer Bougainville establishing a settlement there with some Acadians, though most later left for other French territories like Louisiana (becoming Cajuns) or Uruguay, leaving a small, temporary Acadian presence that eventually faded.

I don't have an issue with the bowls.. that is the problem? You want less football?

---

Not necessarily. I just don't get real enthusiastic about it when you have to start inviting 5-7 or 4-8 teams to fill your bowl schedule because the decent teams are backing out.

Long road trips. I used to love driving to my destinations, not so much anymore.

The threat was stupid, but the report doesn’t touch on if the neighborhood pond was public or if place the kid was fishing in the pond was public land or sidewalk

Looking at some photos of the park/pond online shows a sign saying it's a private pond owned by the club. The sign also says "No Fishing, No Swimming, No Boating".

Wonder if the 14 year old lived in the neighborhood? It's the Onion Creek golf club subdivision off I-35 in Austin. Guy was still an a-hole for how he handled it, no matter what the situation was.

That's cool. Found this video of Austin, TX between 2001 and 2025. Pretty wild how much it's changed (and not always in a good way) since I lived there in the late 80's - early 90's.
