As I said, you haters never wanted him to win. You openly advocated for him to lose, therefore obama is your baby now. You brought on this socialist ruler as if you had campaigned for him yourself. Palin had nothing to do with this election and those of you who are using her as some excuse now are the one who are dreaming.
Truly, one of the most assinine ways to handle this I’ve ever seen.
that thread is hysterical.
What is the point in throwing rocks at a bus anyway? Did it offend someone? Years ago when I was too poor to have a car, mean drivers would go out of their way on rainy days to splash those of us waiting for the bus, and I did learn to carry rocks and softball pitch them at the offending cars-but never at the bus...
You are a Pip T5! You have more stories of things you did in the past..... lol I think someone who would throw a rock at a bus or car is just another moral degenerate who has no concept of right or wrong. Most will be involved in gang violence or end up in prison anyway.....but many innocents will suffer until that time.
Xsboy’s HS hockey rink is in southeast DC and I recall one of his teammates having a rock thrown at his windshield. We were just there over the holidays and didn’t have a problem though.
Not really-just a good memory for trivial things...
I only pitched the rocks at splashers-and only at the area below the windows-it was to make a statement, not injure anyone...
I can’t see the point in malicious mischief like that-as I said, I only pitched at the body of the car that splashed me-never an intent to injure.
How is the Edwards aquifer doing?
I figure real low, but has its decline stopped?
Actually, the Edwards is doing very well, considering that SA seems to think it exists to water their yards planted with non-native stuff. It has not been terribly low for over a year.
Our water out here does not come from the Edwards-we are just over the recharge zone, not the water. Ours comes mostly from the glenrose-and we don’t plant tropical crap-it uses too much water, and freezes in winter.
I’d happily donate the steady rain we’ve had since 2 am.
