Who wouldn't take that?

Wasn't there a news story several years back showing that a lot of the unpaid red light camera tickets were from BR Public vehicles?

Kind of feel guilty weighing in, because I know I got blessed with an A+ dad. But I'll participate to help represent what I consider A+...

My dad is a real Christian. Not a fake one. He's the same man at church as at home as at work... The opposite of a hypocrite. He was a strong disciplinarian, but it was fair and deserved and consistent. He would always take it back to the Bible verses that explained the morality of the transgression. He's been teaching Sunday school for probably 40+ years now.
Retired from Exxon, great at building/construction, works on his own vehicles and quick to help family. He's loved my mom since high school and we never questioned that she was the core of all his decisions. He showed us how a wife should be loved and appreciated.
He's honest to a fault, but not afraid to give correction to anyone where needed. We might disagree on minor things, but we always can respect each other's opinions and sometimes change our own based on the talk.
He took us camping a lot, trips to the smokies a couple times, Florida every year... He got creative to make middle class stretch really far. We weren't rotten, but didn't lack for anything. At mom's direction he would forego a lot of overtime to be our baseball coach or whatever. He didn't take us hunting as much as he did fishing (he never got taken hunting growing up, so it was a blind spot for him).

I'm over 40 now (probably making a lot more than he did, since he pushed me academically) and I similarly want my kids to think we're just scraping by so that appreciate what they have. I've never waivered in my faith and he is largely responsible for that. Like him, I spend a ton of time with my family and honestly we moved back to Baton Rouge just so my daughters could grow up knowing my parents better.
I cherish my parents, and one day my brisket will beat his, but it will take more trial and error. He set my brother and I up for success in all of life.
A+ if that's as high as the scale goes.

Why didn't they hold the protest closer to a home depot location?

Did you learn nothing from the Covid farce?

Been building a homemade Gaga Ball pit for my oldest daughters the last few days. Today I got my 8 year old girl out there to help me construct & paint it. Was a lot of fun working together!

We have a big extended family. We do get-togethers with grandparents, aunts and uncles, cousins and cousins' kids, so most holidays are a mini reunion. As typical a couple Christmases back, we had about 9 families spanning 4 generations all there for gumbo and white elephant.

One family brings a neighbor to the party. Friends of the family are always welcome. She's 19, attractive with dark hair. Pretty quiet, but seemed to have a good sense of humor.

A few months later, we find out the uncle (like 67 years old) has been cheating with neighbor girl. Leaves his wife of 30+ years for this girl, and in turn shuns his kids and his grandchildren. Undefeated...

I had made the comment as soon as I heard, that this girl might have daddy issues, but there's no way she was the first one he had cheated with. A dog chasing cars might catch one, but I doubt the first one it catches is a corvette... Maybe a mail truck or something...

Then the news spills that in getting with the neighbor girl, he broke off a 9-year affair going with his best friend's wife. Childhood buddy he had grown up with, and he's double crossing him.

Somehow, the uncle still feels like a victim when confronted about this relationship. If sociopathic narcissism had a portrait...

Driving past the old Shaw building (or CB&I or B&R, whatever it is now) tonight, the accent lights at the top were alternating purple / gold as they often do during football/baseball season.
But there were two lights to the right that didn't match. One was red & the other blue.

Clearly, this double rainbow is a nod from someone closely tied to the coaching search.
Confirmed - Kiffin's inbound!

Can you expound on this?
I believe this is probably what I would like more information about.

Well I'm part horse, so...


I paid attention during covid. There were countries where Ivermectin was taken as a viral prophylactic and it was highly effective.

It comes in pill form, when it's not from Tractor Supply.

Bonus tip: fly Spirit airlines. Their pilots don't usually rely on air traffic control anyway. Business as usual.

Did Epic Universe yesterday.

Absolutely incredible! I swear the environments are way more immersive than Disney.
Seems like Disney generally has a "theme" for their zones/rides, where Epic creates a world full of scale and detail that are unrivaled.
Only thing close in Disney might be the star wars zone in Hollywood studios or Avatar ride in epcot, but that's a smaller scale.

Epic Frankenstein ride is basically the equivalent of the "Rise of the resistance" star wars ride, and it's one of the lower wait times. Epic basically has twice the number of top shelf rides of any of the Disney parks.

No park compared, unless you've got young daughters that need the princess experience of magic Kingdom.

The Good:
- This might be the best park in Florida (don't know that I've been to many others in the US recently enough to say). Quality is just two cuts above anything else I've seen this trip.
- I'm a Nintendo lover, so that world was beyond belief. Highlight of the trip. That said, the other worlds were super impressive as well.

The Bad:
- Wait times were insane for most marquis rides. **Note: I went on the Columbus Day Sunday, so it was probably much higher attendance than usual. We got to ride everything but Ministry of magic, (steady 210 minute wait all day). That said, we did Mario Kart twice, werewolf a few times, and we didn't get early admission. Also did not buy express lane passes either.


TLDR: Epic is better than any Disney park I've seen. Totally delivers, even when I didn't use any premium perks to shorten the lines. If it was just me & my wife, I'd do Express Lane on the high attendance days, but I had a party of 5, so that was too rich for my blood.
