    Saw they were calling for evac of Conroe now and opening the gates to Lake Conroe which means anyone below Lake Conroe is going to get more water, Spring and The Woodlands. Saw Dayton got it pretty bad, used to live there for a short time. They're right on the Trinity, so I assume that means...

    Imagine how bad rush hour traffic is, now multiply that by all the people who don't work, don't work the hours of rush hour, all the people who don't drive much, all the people who are at work during rush hour. It adds up quickly.

    I imagine 45, East TX freeway (59), and 10 in both directions are/were a parking lot even with contra flow. Moving that many people quickly just isn't going to happen. Pre Katrina I left Baton Rouge to stay at my grandmothers in East, TX. Always amazed me that people act like the only way to...

    Latest is Harvey will moved back into the gulf and reform. Saw that with Andrew. Crossed Florida and gained strength when it got back into the gulf and hit Louisiana. Several other storms in the past have landfalled and then moved out into the gulf to reform. During Katrina I opened the summer...

    Where you going to go? Storm impacted 1/3 of the state by population. During Katrina the motels/hotels of Baton Rouge, Houston, Jackson, MS, Little Rock, Ar, and a good part of Atlanta were full. You can't stick a population the size of Houston and the population along the gulf between Houston...

    Phobia of flying...what to take?

    Maybe take a few really short flights to help get over the fear. A lot of commuter type flights are under an hour. Doing it on a longer flight may lose it's appeal pretty quick.

    Phobia of flying...what to take?

    Dealing with the TSA and airport normally 10x worse than anything that can/will happen on a plane. Fly first class to start off with, even a short relatively inexpensive flight and work your way down to lower cost. Lot less stress, not just related to the flying.

    Embedded Microchips for Work/Life

    When I visit a jobsite I have to put on an ID badge around my neck and my TWIC card. Soon as I key out, drive out or walk out it goes in the glove compartment. No way I would have one attached permanetly. Of course I have to show the badge at the cafeteria, but in the office every one I've...

    Companies that have no way to choose shipping. I'd pay some extra to not get packages via USPS. Double rustled when you pay for UPS and it still gets delivered via USPS which causes a 2 day delay as it goes from the UPS place a mile down the road back to town 15 miles away and then out for...

    On a non gun related note. A fabricator located out of state had an ad for some consulting for switching their software package they use. Very limited market. The package they wanted help with I've used for 25+ years. I did some review work when the guy made the first release of it. Reviewed it...

    Kind of interested to see how this plays out over time. CCP just recently made some changes in eve and said it was because of the low pay in certain parts of the world in relation to selling stuff thru non official channels. Then the sub price for Russians was changed to be less than the rest of...

    The older remingontons are much better than the newer ones. The only downside is you really shouldn't steel shot in it, so unless you are planning to duck/goose hunt with it, it's good to go.

    Yeah it's eve I play now. They put in a bug that allowed players to earn skill points (SP, the basis of the game) without paying either real money or in game currency as normaly.

    I didn't realise this game was from CCP. I was mildly interested till I found that out. They are in a state of flux of some kind at the moment are in a full shift to microtransactions mode on one of their other games I play.
