“ammo is always useful.”
True.
Aww .. that is special, and
he was that. I think he
and TC are pulling guard
duty when needed. Miss TC.
Very relieved to hear you are safe. Hang in there with the cleanup. Thank goodness for good neighbors! {{{hugs}}}
I have no desires that involve monkies, thankyouverymuch.
My greatest love (outside of my family of course) is the Orcas. I’ve been chasing them for 13 years every summer in Haro Strait. It’s an addiction.
Wonderful photo. Thanks.
My hubby makes all his own ammo. Walmart doesn’t sell the supplies he uses :-(
Northern lights, mountains, jungles,and whales...I have got to get a life...all I can offer is that I have seen the Marfa lights:’)
“My hubby makes all his own ammo”
Sounds like my redneck brothers in Mississippi. They make their own everything..ammo, weapons, rules, beer...I swear they are getting ready for the “South to rise again”...God love em.
Here's the lion .. at the church altar .. olord.
They were still there yesterday. Whew!

The tiger was the last to make an appearance. Authorities have reported that the animal escaped from its enclosure at an exotic animal center in Crystal Beach and is currently wandering Bolivar Peninsula.
It's unclear why the tiger was left behind in the first place, but authorities are positive that it's hungry and are therefore staying away from it until animal experts arrive to secure the large cat.
LOL ... me, too. And I haven’t seen the Marfa lights.
And I don’t have a clue what they are...

I’d like that, if the terms were right. Not a question of compensation, but I have kids and a couple ongoing projects I’d have to work around. It’s doable, but I really have no idea where to start.
Poor thing...give her some food.
ok, what are Marfa lights?? Sounds like Cigarettes to me...

You know, I’ve never even tried to hack FR. No need to.
Well no need outside of some really silly typoes, but those force me to proofread, something other sites don’t do. Keeps me on my toes.
So sad.

Bolivar devastated, no longer a peninsula

Published September 16, 2008
BOLIVAR PENINSULA What was Bolivar Peninsula is now three separate islands, and most homes there were destroyed.
Its no longer Bolivar Peninsula, State Rep. Craig Eiland of Galveston said. Its an island times three. The roads are cut, and the bridges are out. Residents wont be back anytime soon.
No bodies have been found, but officials said the situation was grim.
Im not Pollyanna, County Judge Jim Yarborough said. I think well find some. We certainly expect to find some.
Yarborough said emergency crews were on the ground. He urged the remaining 300 residents to leave on emergency boats and helicopters.
By next week, sheriffs deputies will institute marshal law, forcing remaining residents out of the area.
Transportation to the area is cut off. The Bolivar Ferry will be down for months. There is no estimate on when the service will return.

Least I could do in light of the REAL work you put into keeping this fine resource going.
BTW, that’s preliminary work, not really thorough. We got some Ike here too and it’s exacerbating significant other issues. That’s based on 20 to 30 images, ten to fifteen of which got looked at hard.
There’s almost certainly exceptions to the general overview, good thing to know before taking it to the bank. Wish I had time for more right now, but it’s not just raining here, it’s pouring.
Now Ya’DunIt!!!,,,
That whole bunch will be down there Lion Huntin’...
LMAO...;0)
What freaks me out is that we all KNOW there is dead out there. There has to be. But the fact that they have not been found easily is kind of eerie.
My brother worked on the Mississippi coast burying cables after Katrina and they were constantly “bumping” into bodies, randomly finding one here and there for months after the storm.
This ordeal is so different it seems...and not in a good way.
Crane, front loader, two man saw, axe, bowsaw, nail file, in order of ease, most to least.
