Be safe, Texas friends

[Uncle Rico]

"It's obvious when an eagle has killed your bird: The chicken is laid out on her back, wings spread, legs intact, breast and organs devoured. (Like many of its fellow Americans, the bald eagle apparently prefers white meat.)"

Incredible quote from this article.

The only good bald eagle is a dead bald eagle but the woke mob cancel culture communist socialist EPA won't let me use DDT.  SMDH

I like my eagles bald (but not my dental hygienists)

Speaking of staying safe in Texas, don't send your kids to megachurches.  They may end up seducing the pastors with their wily, childish seductive ways

As soon as Texas gets billions in federal aid for this latest natural disaster, they're gonna secede.

And they mean it this time, dammit!

Bad luck, now you won't be able to drive your EV in the basement.

Fried the basement Roomba.

Fried the basement Roomba.

Would have never happened with a gasoline-powered vacuum.
Take that, Greta Thunberg.

[MU Fan in Connecticut]

Fried the basement Roomba.

Ouch.  Sounds like a finished basement.  Break out the wet vac.

[tower912]

I do not own a roomba. That was schtick.   I do own a wetvac.   Not real bad.   Lucky.

As long as Texas keeps electing the same people, natural disasters will continue to be poorly planned for and poorly handled.

Glad they're taking money from the federal government and not seceding

Eye blame da illegals, aina?

Eye blame da illegals, aina?

Well, they've been known to control the weather and utility companies.

Anyway, Texas also takes a lot of federal money for that, too.  Weird for a state so proud of getting things done, well, at least with policing women's reproductive rights.
