If they are doing their part, how did that many players catch it?

Since 10am Saturday.

I was at HEB on F M 365 in Port Arthur (often called Nederland WM) this afternoon and they had several bags anasazi beans. Now they have 5 less...... They were $2.78 a pound. Not sure about other HEBs.

Yep, out of requirement.

Well boys and girls... whatever is going to happen will start. Hurricane Hunter aircraft just measured 146 mile an hour sustained winds.

A lot of weather gurus use UKMET and/or EURO models. Latest EURO shows landfall near PA as a major storm. for what that’s worth…

Yep, mandatory evacuation in the morning. I am guessing that Bridge city and most of orange county will soon follow. Everybody does not have this opportunity but if you have a place to go and can get out, try to beat the rush. Then let’s hope this thing turns and people can complain how about evacuating for no reason.

I think that Port Arthur just issued a mandatory evacuation beginning at 6 AM in the morning.

I just got out of a meeting with area emergency management and the National Weather Service. Until it clears the islands good, it is still up in the air what its track will be. It “could” hit Port Arthur as a Cat 3 and push a huge storm surge. But.... it may not and not just because they change but this one is giving different signals (my words, not NWS). Another conference tonight and one tomorrow morning. The one in the morning is probably really going to tell the tale. The problem always is the amount of time it takes to evacuate.

And the instant Kraft MaC......

I have come to the conclusion that I wish I was young and single.....

And I am reluctant to recommend much because people’s tastes vary greatly. I am fairly certain you would love these if you like to eats beans. I will say that they are just beans just like Navy, Pinto, Kidney, etc. But they are very good if you love beans. I have yet to have anyone try them that didn’t love them. I have had a comment or two like, they are very good but they taste like beans. Well, yeah... they don’t taste like fresh Gulf shrimp or filet mignon. They are beans.

Cook them any way you eat beans or use then in any recipe. Substitute for red, pinto, etc I cooked them very basic the first time so as to get a better taste rather than covering them up with 3 meats and 10 spices. I did like a medium onion, a little bacon for the fat and salt/pepper. They were great. When I cook red or anasazi beans, I usually smash a lot of them to make it a lot thicker, almost like Popeye’s RBR.

I just looked at Amazon. Those things have doubled in price. I wonder if Covid related...... It looks like the only semi- cheaper way to buy them is direct from the company but in bulk. 20 pounds delivered in a burlap bag is $50 or $2.50 a pound delivered. That is about what it is a pound at HEB if they still have them. I use that many so I don’t mind. My friend buys them in 40 pound burlap but cooks 2-3 pounds at a time. I need to run to HEB and see v if they are still there.

Amazon or they had them at HEB on 365 in PA. I don’t know since the Covid food rush. They are about twice as expensive as regular beans or maybe a little more. The look like a cross between a black eye pea, navy bean and red bean. When they cook the mostly turn red so people think they are red/kidney beans. They are milder than red or pinto beans, usually cook in about 90 minutes without soaking and...... they don’t give you gas. They are named after the Anasazi Indians who cultivated them. Supposedly extinct 500 years ago, they were claimed to be discovered in caves in the dessert Southwest. I have read that some scientists dispute that saying that beans cannot germinate after about 50 years. They believe that some of the Indian tribes were still growing them around the early 1900s and their extinction was simply incorrect.

Texas law (with each state being different) says that if there is a riot and you remain there, you are guilty of Riot and can be charged with a B misdemeanor (up to 180 days in jail). Then it goes on to say that you can additionally be charged with the most serious crime that was committed by anyone in the riot. So if someone sets fire to a car and you are there as part of the riot, they can charge you with felony arson without having to prove that you said the fire. You fail to disperse from the scene of a riot.

Yes, go $1 but people would raise heck. They want the government to deliver mail for almost nothing but then complain when the post office loses money. I had an idea a few years ago and still think it might work. First class mail is now delivered six days a week. I say deliver mail to half of the addresses on Monday, Wednesday and Friday and the other half on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday. You could get rid of half the delivery people. We would have to wait one extra day for our meal. Big deal. If it is really important you can send it for $15 by express or fax it or send it in an email. But, this is not a thread about the post office. I think it is a lousy example of government inefficiency because they are forced to compete against private industry and could only charge 5% for the same delivery. I don’t think that UPS can deliver letters to Guam for a little over $1.

An officer in a different state was wrong!! Then he was almost immediately arrested!! Let me go burn down some businesses in my neighborhood and shoot some people!! Logic for some people....

That isn’t really a fair comparison. A government operation is hardly ever efficient but the USPS has to deliver a letter to Guam for $1.20. If these innovative and highly profitable companies like FE and UPS can or will deliver a piece of mail to Guam for $1.20, I would like to know about it. Forget overseas. A first class letter from FL to CA is 55 cents. Let one off the contract carriers deliver a letter 2,500 miles for 55 cents.

I see where Minneapolis police sent out an email to one district to be prepared to be robbed. Carjackings are up 46% over last year at this time and robberies are up 36%. The criminals are taking over. I am sure crime will be dramatically reduced just as soon as the social workers they are hiring to replace the police move in and explain the problem to the criminals with all the guns.

A police standard..... along with Underdog.

I have no issue with profanity. I worked around 100+ police office for over 35 years… I’ve definitely heard a few words. It is on occasion humorous and sometimes gets the point across. But, if I was talking about your statement that I am quoting, it is acceptable to say I don’t agree with you or even I think you have a stupid opinion (but I don’t). But I should be able to get my point across without saying... you are one stupid #%+€ ?€+=. There is a difference.

I own or moderate 4 forms. Each of them has a no profanity rule. I understand doing a face-to-face heated argument or even some casual conversations, people would let profanity slip even unintentionally. I have no idea why people cannot type out a response and do so without using some kind of profanity. A hunting forum that I belong to, people will use the £%#@ disguise are they were actually type out the word knowing that the forum program will block it with ****.

I’ve done that. Click post..... and poof.
