A buddy of mine has joined some of the storm-chasers on a ride-along...

The Washington family fell on hard times once and the Spencer family rented them house. This one looks too grand to be the same one. Beautiful pictures! Thanks, Andy.

I was owned as the kids used to say. Lol.

I miss the days when you didn't need an MIT degree to post pictures. I have one in mind but not two hours to post it.

3/10. Guessed the birds would be non AI as most difficult to add in. Honestly can not tell which is or isn't

Release the Israeli hostages! On paper, with their pepole over 18 voting, multi-party system and more frequent elections leading to coalition governments, their democracy is at least as valid as yours? Problem is their neighbours, troublesome people they have to live with (something with which I'd have thought you'd have empathy). Seems they've tried forms of integration, mediation, separation, now they're being forced into isolation. Release the hostages! I have grave doubts as to the innocence of many Gazan civilians.

Animals eat other animals. Works as designed. I was going to try an Impossible burger until I read the nutrition facts. It’s at least as bad for you as beef.

@wtg and @Steve-Miller well that’s a relief!

Rotten tomatoes. Tony DiMare’s family owns 4,000 acres of tomato farms across Florida and California. Sadly, his Florida crops are not looking good — mowed over and left to rot, like tomato vines across the state. But it’s not growing conditions that are the problem. It’s economic ones. https://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/florida-farmers-now-plowing-over-perfectly-good-tomatoes-as-trump-s-tariff-policies-cause-prices-to-plummet/ar-AA1HDIlh?ocid=hpmsn&cvid=390a9a37a5544ceeb974275f45d2a73c&ei=29

I think he understands that the likelihood of winning is well below 50/50 now, and it's not worth his effort. NC often elects Democrats to statewide office, even though its heavily gerrymandered legislature grants a Republican about 1.2 times as much representation as a Democrat. And 2026 is shaping up to be a wave year given how unpopular the Big Bill is, and how its effects will likely be very visible next year as millions are thrown off Medicaid and rural voters piss and moan about their reduced subsidies (from blue urban taxpayers).

Me three!

He shoulda used his Sharpie to change the forecast to what he wanted it to be. Problem solved!

I don’t have bears yet, but they’ve been seen in the county. We have coyotes, but it seems they aren’t true coyotes, but a cross between coyotes and wolves - coy wolves. It makes sense because they are bigger that western coyotes. I see them trotting down the walking trails sometimes.
