The Review threads are linked for your edification. ;-)
Practice makes perfect.....post on....
A+++ Amen.
A++++ your June is much more uplifting! thanks!
exactly! but this is the great excuse that Obams has been looking for. How easy peasy, and then his hardcore left will love him as he will have complied with his promise to close Gitmo.
Now, it’s water in short supply.
Dave, I’ve never watched Homeland but I keep seeing references to the deserter and that show..... can you enlighten me?
wow. all they need is plague and pestilence.
also, did you see the dad said something about the team meeting him I think in Germany were all “handpicked” by them. I am wondering what is going on with the debrief team and what was the dad trying to convey to his son there? the whole phraseology was stilted and weird, not what an American dad would be saying to his long lost son, IMO.
About the Venezuela water shortage-I hope people in water wasting cities here are watching-it is what happens when too many people crowd into an area water is not conserved...
Nope, that’s not a show I watch. Sorry.
Now, if you want to talk Game of Thrones from last night I’m your guy.
I have long said that sooner or later we will get back to living where the weather is moderate and there is lots of water.
Oh Lord.... that end scene....I can’t watch stuff like that..in fact half of that show is just heard by me and not seen!
I think, as time goes by, we will see fewer green belts in neighborhoods and more small areas devoted to shrubs and flowers.
Has there ever been a more perfidious occupant of the Oval Office than the current one?
And flaying has gone out of style, too.
Seriously, it’s like Prince Oberyon had never seen a Bond villain drone on and on instead of getting on with the task at hand.
Or as I quipped on Twitter (and I wasn’t alone with this thought for sure) “My name is Prince Oberyon. You killed my sister. Prepare to die.”
Obama never worked in business
Outside of the government mess-
The hit that would result to
Stockholders we can only guess
Any CEO dumb enough to swap
At a ratio of five for one
To ransom a perfidious whiner
Would be just toasted and done
By any board of directors
Concerned with a bottom line-
He’d certainly lose his options
And pay a truly ruinous fine...
I believe the answer is NOT REMOTELY! A+++
he will die a gov’t leech without ever having earned his keep. A+++
If too many people moved to those “moderate” weather-and-water areas, they would still crowd in like a hive of bees or an ant nest, as long as there were no limits on that. Pretty soon, they would have hacked and bulldozed all the native vegetation, replaced it with concrete and grass from Florida, be running out of water and have the place all crapped up right out to the edge of the burbs-just like they do right now.
People need to learn to survive either without a cast of thousands next door again, or live in their hive with limited natural resources if that is what they like. Most people I know in these a outlying areas are tired of having their water and other resources sucked up by nearby cities-a lot of them have restricted development just about to 0-that was done here before 2000, and is a big reason why I choose to live here, hard life and all.
If you can’t live one family to an acreage lot, with rules on everything from pesticide use to land clearing-and not plant invasive non-native species-then stay away. This is where the crops and animals everyone eats are raised, after all...
And before anyone asks, yes, I was involved in the less radical conservation and greenbelt groups when I lived in the city...
Most native Texans like you and I grew up conserving water and other resources, and still do-developers have been the culprits in the introduction of non-native species in landscaping, because they grow fast.
Greenbelts in SA are only native plantings-and most are preserved natural areas with drought tolerant and low-to-no maintenance-it was one main focus of the groups I belonged to there, and I’m so happy on the rare occasions I go to shop near the burbs where I lived and see signs that say trail head to greenbelt, no motorized vehicles beyond this point, etc.
