  1. Does it really matter. So, it's warming. Nobody is denying that. And gladly so! We should all pitch in! But don't change the rules in the middle of the game.
  2. Yeah. Neighbor goes to Bears games, but paid for by his employer, corporate. Normal parking is in the parking ramps. Can't grill there! Ticket $$$$... LoL...
  3. You want open air in Chicago to grill @ Tailgate? It will cost you over $100 to park. That's the new NFL Downtown business model.
  4. I think Cleveland area ranks lowest in US for suffering weather calamity. I would probably put S.Ontario & Lower Canada as on that list too... For N.America that is. Why don't WE move to a more "auto insurance" premium model when it comes to stuff like this. Federally tax the regions that suffer weather related calamity more. Make them kick in more. Like having a bunch of teen drivers on Your policy. There is a huge sucking sound when these storms hit. Tax them. The weather data doesn't lie. The insurance claims are all there! Or: At least make them pony up their natural resources.
  5. I also wanna know if the cameraman needs a lunch break. Gotta be pretty tiring doing all that hard work in a bikini. Also, that carts a little full, where is She walking to? The garbage can is the other way, not along the shoreline. All seriousness, YOU gotta be kidding Me! LoL But I will rally around the skin! ?
  6. I totally agree. Yet, how do We change the actions of people? As a group? It's like going to church. How do the masses get the message without keeping them busy following, accepting simple rituals. Also like the military. How do You keep good order, avoid chaos, keep working toward a common goal without brainwashing them to be willing to die for just a piece of cloth? People aren't going to do what's right for the group and against their short-term interests on their own volition. Well, most won't. The world needs to work, needs good order. Many individuals get the message, but the masses need to be on the same page.
  7. I just watched the video. She missed a piece. On the right, 2 o'clock. Looks like a Dasani bottle. That's a 5¢ deposit! Take it to Michigan and She'll get 10¢!!
  8. Yes. NG is nice, but not without its issues. Off the grid has it's benefits. What about a stand alone LP tank (of course hurricane ready). Major note... Gotta protect those things from getting damaged, flooded. Redundancy is the key!
  9. I probably have better chance handling a Cat 5 Hurricane on 3 days notice while also being prepared for said storm and I live over a 1,000 miles from the Coast and 580 feet above sea level. I haven't reallt done anything special either... Just have a severe storm, tornado plan. How many people don't have water on hand? Food? Etc... This! ^^^^ More people. Less people are dieing. More News coverage. Better infrastructure now. But it's aging. 1926, 1928 'Canes when there were way less people in the Sticks:
  10. Berry Oakley grew up one town over from where I live now. Yet, the rest of the original members were from the South.
  11. That's what Wife wanted to do this morning! LoL... I am still in BFLo... And had a basement ejector pump float sensor "blip" (too much soap in washing machine... Once again! /smh) today. Had to talk My Wife thru it as the high water alarm is going off. LoL... It's like GroundHog Day every time I travel alone.
  12. Yet! It is amazing all the sch*t people have laying around. Was that a cooler a saw flying around. LoL... Call Me anal rententive... But living in a hurricane zone... I would have My stuff squared away, heck, I dont even park My vehicles under trees in the fall! LoL... I guess it all depends on resources. Understandable. Glad I live 580 feet above sea level. I am simply not a coastal person, too much responsibility. Gotta have a plan.
  13. It was a tropical depression only 3 days ago. 3 days ago.
  14. I sure am! It's called being independent, leaning Left. ??
  15. Too many people living on the coast! Now that's something than can be blamed. Just imagine how much easier things would be if only half the population was there. Supposedly people didn't heed the warnings, now they want help. Dumbasses! Oh, and shut cellphones off too. Have Civil Denfense just press mute button till the storm passes. Pesky cellphones! People don't listen. Que sera sera. Looks like gas prices will spike for the country, good thing it went further east than the Gulf petrol-chem hub. Tourist beaches are devastating, but off shore oil rigs even more devasting. Dow is already down 3%.
  16. She needs better PPE! Hate to see Her get a nasty vibrio infection... Anyway, You gotta be kidding? /smh
  17. Don't eat the fish! "S'mofo butter layin' me to da' BONE! Jackin' me up... tight me!" Translation: I ATE SOMETHING THAT IS MAKING MY INSIDES CRAMP UP
  18. I liked it ^^^^^ but really don't "like" it. I agree with Your post.
  19. Ooops, time to come back up North. Not to sound cold, but who pays? Taxpayer in Boise, Idaho! Go on Vacation people... Florida needs Your tourist economy!
  20. Kidneys and bladders, it's best to boil the piss out of it!
  21. Did somebody mention "tartare." The Monguls/Tartars would tenderize meat by riding on it while on horseback. Eat it raw.
  22. They ran the wholly mammoths & later, American bison off cliffs into blind canyons. Then brought their knives and forks!
