Bill Parker?

Good pics.

I had a close encounter with a big timber a couple of summers ago. It was hanging out in a hollow tree that had fallen in a swamp I was walking. Had been in the woods for about 6 hours - very hot day. Ready to take a break and lean against the base of the tree. For some reason, decided to take the long way around the tree to get to the high edge of the swamp. Would've been kidney height if I'd headed the way I planned.. Was a mile from the truck.

Bought full leg gaiters the next day, not that they would've helped in that scenario. I'm in the field working a fair amount. Up until that day, I always walked with my eyes on the ground looking for snakes. I've slowed my pace considerably and look for snakes ground up and have a new appreciation of hollow waist high logs.

Was hoping they'd schedule Troy for a good Ole SEC arse-whupping.

Landscape architect recommended endless summer/summer crush a few years back when I replaced my front yard plants. Couldn't locate any and planted nikko blue.

Online images of the summer crush are impressive - that might be what you're looking at.

Little lime and limelight panicles in my neighborhood seem to keep their blooms through the summer.

Who's a good boy?

Cuban didn't put up big bucks. He was in it for the press. IU does, however, have a very well funded NIL program. Look at the Merchants Bank deal in 2025.

That' latoya security detail level shite right there.

If you gotta fight, don't fight fair.

Not a bad idea...I don't want to disturb my dogs as they eat the intruder for their midnight snack.

He might be lucky, but he ain't smart.

Bought the Staten Island Ferry.

I've been engaged on two jobs this week where the clients sent me their attempt to summarize what they've hired me to do with AI. Both attempts were absolute garbage, and one client admitted it in our discussions. This came on the heels of a new client hiring me to clean up a job that another individual butchered with AI. For the time being, the poor application of AI is increasing my work load.

For a period of time, in many fields, AI will reflect the level of intelligence of the user. No idea on how things will play out in the long run.
