Do NOT show up at a courthouse where you might have a bench warrant. Trust me.

I have a ‘12 Xterra. 190K Same 4.0 V6 and 5speed auto trans as Frontiers up to around 2020 or so. Compression is great on all cylinders, never a problem. Trans is tight too. I have a lot of good things to say about that power train. Frontier interiors are simple and dated, but the truck is sound. That’s what matters to me in a used vehicle on a budget.

Not a morning person? Stay up all night. Get to your spot extra early, and throw a cast net. That will give you a good supply of live bait. Plus, you will know what the fish are likely to be feeding on. And while you are there, fish. Night fishing can be very productive.
PS that’s a great red. Congrats!

Hamas are the moderates, relatively speaking, among these Palestinian groups. The Oct 7th atrocities were mainly committed by these clans. This is a mafia type war among the Palestinians. There are no good guys in this.
Back in the day, there were no DJ’s on XM. Or commercials. I miss those days…
England is third world country attached to London.
Fake news. A nurse that doesn’t have tattoos? No chance. I think a sleeve is the mandatory ink minimum for the professional.
Looked like he caught a knee to the side of the head. He was face down. Trainers rolled him over, and then things turned serious. Praying it’s not his neck.
Jacksonville fan sure knows the correct way to break his hand on a guys dome.
I saw them yesterday too. They are Venus (the brighter one) and Jupiter (the smaller one to the left). Very cool since I normally can’t see any stars at all here in 77008.

Pluto was considered the most minor of planets. Now it is considered the largest and most complex Kyper Belt Object. I think that’s a promotion

How do you get started in kids tournaments.


Does his school have a club? Here in Houston there are regular tournaments that you can sign up for. USChess, and others track your scores and ranking for tournament pairings. Small membership fee.

Plus, this guy gets it:

FIDE is the chess federation. Idk if the us chess federation has a website for local tournaments or something but I would look there. Have your son do puzzles on chess.com. It’s a great way to rapidly improve on basic tactics.

I run the chess club at my school. District champs! Sometime we have 30-40 students when we meet after school, about 15 regulars. I’m an average player at best, though.

That's completely valid if you are into those things. Heat also shuts a lot of that down from May-September though. Was like 100 straight days over 100 there last year.


Yeah but it’s a dry heat lol.
Seriously though, the mountains starting as close as just north of Las Cruces offer a great break from the heat, with lots to do.
