Tree in my B-I-L's yard I posted about yesterday. This happened around 2 pm, several hours before landfall. Spoilered for size.
First off 6'3" is not very tall. It's normal. I know this because my mother told me so. I'm not a freak God Damnit! Also, my blood pressure is pretty close to being a concern, but I think that's more due to the years of bad diet, only recently checked alcoholism, and horrible evil children who have no regard for my sanity.
I'd seriously like to watch the news and not hear about some overblown windstorm that has a bit of flooding. I'm in Denver, I don't care about the east coast.
Good lord people. Don't you understand I am in class very actively trying to not work on a paper right now? There are far to many registered users on for this level of silence. SOMEONE ENTERTAIN ME GOD DAMN IT!!!
Well this is just about the coolest pumpkin I've ever seen. http://www.thisiscolossal.com/2012/...le-version-of-tetris-inside-a-carved-pumpkin/
I'm more pissed at the fact that within 24 hours the squirrels in my neighborhood devoured my pumpkin. It's now just a pumpkin with a giant hole where what I carved used to be.
I know how you guys feel. Had a few drops of rain on the windshield on the drive home today. I guess I'm not going to be about to get out riding my bike for the rest of the year. On the other hand, daylight savings time ended this weekend so I've been able to get extra sleep and it's fantastic.
Gnarly as hell. There's a palm tree down by our beach, it's practically at a 45 degree angle because a storm bent it years ago. Anything else happen during the storm do you know yet? And I'm assuming Audrey is out of power by now.
I have tall genes in my family. I don't (yet) have high blood pressure but I'm only 24. However, my uncles on both sides of the family have high blood pressure. One is 6'8" and has really high blood pressure but it's probably due to his shitty Texan diet consisting of mostly red meat and fried food with very little fruits and vegetables. The other uncle is 6' 4" and has blood pressure high enough to cause him to fail a physical for work. High blood pressure runs on that side of the family though so take what you will from that.
Well they were hoarders, so I think Lord Jesus did them a favor. As for how it ignited, I'm guessing the fermented feline diarrhea from the 25+ cats she *had* roaming around was releasing some flammable gas which lit up.
