I recommend Texas annex Louisiana and run huge pipelines along I-10 & I-20 from the Mississippi River into Texas. This could eventually supply water to all cities from the Sabine River to El Paso.

Does anyone have a "go to" business in the BR area that would appraise/buy/auction these pieces?

With acknowledgment you referenced the BR area, it may be beneficial to contact Dury's Gun Shop in San Antonio. They are an established seller of used firearms and have procedures for inherited collections, both outright purchase or selling on consignment.

Talking to them is free... Dury's Gun Shop

I can't determine when is too early but when they pull into the driveway will be "just in time."

re: Carriable pistol for 16 yo daughter to grow into

Find a self defense class with a female instructor for your daughter. Your daughter decides which firearm is best for her use.
If you wish to take her to the range and test several firearms, that's great but she decides the one in which she is comfortable.
It is your responsibility to give her options. If she is too young to make this decision, then she is too young to make the decision. Best to find out now and not later.

Napoleon, how often do you go to the Baton Rouge area? I bought a bunch of GE Reveal incandescent bulbs when they were being outlawed. I dislike the CFLs and at that time, didn't know LEDs were going to be an acceptable and viable (though expensive) option.

Are you looking for 40W, 60W, or 100W bulbs? I have them all.

Is this a brand? Or just a cool way to say "white cooler".

There was a Tiger Droppings group buy of coolers directly from China. The coolers are as good as the big names with significantly lower price (and no lifetime warranty ??).
My coolers were in the 3rd or 4th container. I think there were over a dozen containers before the event ended.
NoColors is the person who ran point and went to China to find a reputable factory to make the coolers.

Any Downside to Puerto Rico becoming independent (preemptive move to avoid statehood)

Posted by FlyingPelican on 11/8/25 at 5:35 pm

Part of the discussion on abolishing the Senate filibuster rule included what the Democrats would do when they are in the majority. One of the items would be statehood for Puerto Rico and Washington, D.C. resulting in 4 additional Democrat Senators.
Why not give independence to Puerto Rico now which would eliminate the option for future statehood.
What does the rest of the US get from Puerto Rico? Why keep it as a US territory? I'm sure many Puerto Ricans enjoy their US citizenship, I had plenty of Puerto Rican classmates when I was at LSU. Let the current generation keep the US citizenship and future generations would have their own citizenship on their island-nation with their own national flag.
