[/quote] Go Pirates!!!!!!!!!!!!!  ;D [/quote] Now THAT is out of hand!! ;)

[quote name="LumRaiderFan" post="1057087" timestamp="1316040597"] rip, don't get him started!  ;D I'll just add that big bucks in Texas are nothing new...folks been killing them here long before the 13" rule! OK, I'm done! [/quote] Too late. Yes, I have seen some huge bucks killed in east Texas every year. With the habitat you would think that it would lead the state in trophies but killing a good deer on one lease is not indicative of the area in general. Management is the key but the truth is that a majority in this area are more worried about pulling the trigger than quality. ;D

It works, period. It is not perfect and a good management plan would be better but most of these leases could have gotten a management plan years ago but would rather go by the east Texas, if it's brown, it's down rule. Soon people in east Texas will start taking some nice (not necessarily trophy) deer with some trophies scattered in with them. It beats taking spikes and basket 4 or 6 pointers.

[quote name="bullets13" post="1054616" timestamp="1315730461"] went out tonight, and it wasn't that great.  we probably caught close to 100 specks, but only 4 keepers, although one was a really nice 23 1/2 incher. [/quote] Although I haven't been lately, a couple of guys at work have fished around the channel at night and none have caught a keeper. Plenty of fish but nothing of legal size.

[quote name="True Blue" post="1054494" timestamp="1315707536"] So [size=10pt][b]your trying to say that the fire cheif that gave that report to a national reporter is lieing [/b][/size] but you on a computer hiding behind the screen are telling the Facts and the Truth :o :o [/quote] Yes. And the hiding comment is ludicrous. So go ahead and post your name, address, where you work, etc. Unless of course, True Blue is your given name.

More HuffPo nonsense. Most firefighting is local or volunteer and does not come from the state. The new Texas cuts in the budget have only been in effect for one week as the new budget goes into effect. Any prior lack of equipment as mentioned in the article have nothing to do with this year's budget cuts. I know that our city budget goes into effect October 1st and we will order new vehicles but they will not be delivered until some time next year like in January. Even if our budget is cut, it will not show up for several months because that is the way capital purchases are made. So this year's budget had nothing to do with equipment at the scene or resources. The local fire chief that is complaining about the lack of a budget needs to complain to his city council or county commissioner's court. The political spin doesn't hold up very well to the facts.

But he left off the first part of the article.

You Repubs are sneaky! Gotta watch you fellas. 80% of the poor had air conditioning. I bet 70% worked for what they owned. [/quote] Just 70%? Shouldn't the other 30% work for it as well? [/quote]Not in our type of system. [size=11pt][b]The system is geared towards having the poor remain below a certain poverty level.[/b][/size] [/quote] I could not have said it better myself. You are correct that the system is geared toward keeping the poor down. Almost to a person they vote Democratic. Ever care to guess why they keep them down with welfare? When you can keep a family living in the same government housing project for 3 generations, you have a built in voting bloc.

I must have missed the news stories of the kids in a predicament on how they are going to die. In fact, I missed the part about any of them burning or freezing to death. I need to read MSNBC more I guess.

I or I would venture to say anyone else has a clue what you are talking about with Republican control. [/quote]You clam that the only reason that the Clinton yrs were good is because the House was under REP control. Now you have control again you wont to blame everything on the Dem white house. [/quote] Control of Congress means both houses. Controlling one just means you can slow down the opposition, not pass laws.

My completely uneducated (well not completely) opinion is that as long as the high pressure area that had had us in a gorilla grip for months stays in place, we won't see much of anything. Even Lee wanted to come toward Texas and got completely turned away. I have seen from some local to national weather people claiming that the dominating high over Texas was due to move as soon as two weeks ago. It just hasn't happened. The EURO had a low south of Sabine Pass a few days ago and Lee heading maybe into central or south Texas. It didn't happen and we are still holding on to the drought.

[/quote] The last time that the Republicans had control of Congress and the presidency was in 2006. When the Republicans lost control of Congress in December 2006, the unemployment was 4.4% and was still at 4.6% when the Democrats won the House. That was after the Clinton recession that Bush took over and almost immediately into 9-11. Within 18 months of 9-11 and the unemployment topped out at 6.2% and then started falling and continued to fall until the Republicans lost control of Congress. Just to make sure that you didn't miss it, the Republican controlled congress has not passed any laws since 2006.

The landfall has shift pretty far east with this area not being impacted at all other than maybe some winds.

[quote name="westend1" post="1047019" timestamp="1314990367"] [quote author=tvc184 link=topic=87540.msg1046999#msg1046999 date=1314989818] The jobs report just came out for August and there were no net jobs created and the lowest total since last September or in other words, the worst economy in the last year. I guess those 4 points coming off the bench aren't working very well. [/quote] Based on 1 months numbers?  Really? [/quote] Yes, really. Have you checked the unemployment figures for the last two years? You seem to want to portray is as really making progress with a one month dip. Try again. And since Obama doesn't want to make any predictions anymore, care to make one yourself? Maybe next month will show a significant gain or maybe the next? Go for it.

I like this quote from the article: [b]White House press secretary Jay Carney suggested the measures could push the unemployment rate below 9%, [color=red]but he also sought to avoid making predictions.[/color][/b] I guess the Obama administration's memory isn't so bad after all when they can remember almost three years ago saying just give us a trillion dollars and the unemployment will not go over 8%. So yeah, I guess they want to avoid making predictions or guesses or wishful thinking again.

The jobs report just came out for August and there were no net jobs created and the lowest total since last September or in other words, the worst economy in the last year. I guess those 4 points coming off the bench aren't working very well.

[quote name="westend1" post="1046754" timestamp="1314978047"] 4 points is better than 2 and more profit is better than less, however you try to spin it. [/quote] With 300,000+ people losing their jobs every week and several thousand a week entering the work force, that 4 points won't help. There has been a lot of talk of the Volt on this thread but if GM hires a few thousand new employees to produce them, what does that do to the unemployment rate? Our current job creation can't keep up with the job losses. So one company adds 500 employees and another lays off 1,000. To put it in your basketball analogy, a guy that just doubled his point production hit the floor but he is replacing an injured player that has 15 points a game average. Yeah, that 4 points will help but it won't replace the 15 that you just lost.

It looks like a mid range TS with not a lot of rain on the west side of it. Unless it takes an unexpected hard turn the to the west, we might not get but a couple of showers and some wind gusts.
