I am not afraid of much on this Earth and have been in and seen lots of 's%*# in my life but I will relate this. That one line, would probably have been the end of me, as I have a lifelong fear of doing exactly that..suddenly falling off into a hole in the ground. I hve had nightmares about it...

That's a good price!! They retail here at a big lumber/farm/Preifert store for $29.50ea last time I checked, 2 years ago. (a big demand for them here to use in retaining walls.)

Well, not exactly. As good as it was, the movie blows that part way out of proportion. There were some discussions about it after project physicist Author Compton mentioned the possibility early on, but the people like Hans Bethe who was top of the chain in theoretical physics at Los Alamos...

When my father was young (he was born in 1918) he used to drive the school bus in or around Tyler Tx during depression era years, and Tyler is infamous for it's red sticky clay. The school 'bus' he drove was a horse drawn wagon. The few cars that were there always had trouble getting up and...

Yep. bought a fairly good one in the 1966-67 time frame as a teenager for around $20 and I thought that was high for a 16-17 year old working min wage. American Hat Co I think it was and kept it for over a decade. I shouldn't say this, but I was pretty rowdy in my mid 20s and that hat got left...

I previously said we didn't get any of that, but 40 minutes away to the East, Temple got 8" in a very short period of time. I only had 2 hills on my old place, but I have witnessed that ground weeping thing before and once, the top 8-12" of soil whole hillside just heaved downward in a big...

I spoke with my sisters in Cleveland and Conroe last night...they didn't get all that. Neither did we, tho it was a little stormy yesterday. I heard city of Houston is having some kind of water problems too???
