y'all ever get into a discussion about Great Tits? Discussed this with a friend other day. Saw two really nice ones at the Park, yes in fact a pair of...them.🫣 How did I not know this bird existed?View attachment 733534

Was settling down for the night around 10 and heard what sounded like a dog yelping somewhere outside. Put on my headlamp and eventually found this guy in the water barely hanging on to a boat lift on my neighbor's dock. I was able to get a rope around his head thanks to a golf club on the dock because I had no chance of reaching him without getting in the lake. Pulled him up onto the lift float and was able to bring him up the rest of the way by his collar. This guy couldn't stand and was shivering. Carried him up to my house, we wrapped him in towels, fed him, and I posted his picture on a boaters group on FB. Social media finally did something good because we got in touch with the owner pretty quick and he was picked up within 30 minutes of me pulling him out of the water. The owner had been looking for him for 6 hours after some storms caused him to run off earlier today while the owner wasn't home.

@butchna


Vlad Jr. Just got paid. Bluejays sign him to a 14 year/$500 million contract.

Looks like Bo Bichette is odd man out in Toronto...

Good job.
That would likely had been the end for that poor feller if not for you.

Bless you for saving him. So glad he had a guardian angel looking out for him.

There's no telling how long he'd been in the water. My family thinks I'm over-protective of our little Boston Terrier, but that's my guy and this situation just showed them why dad stays on them about making sure the doors get shut all the way. That's a nightmare situation for me, so I can't imagine how his owner was feeling. He was on the verge of tears when he picked him up.

Wrong! I am a Galapagos guy. Nothing better than Boobies! I love Boobies. In fact, here's a picture of a pair of Boobies.

Even Elmo loves Boobies.

100%! No way that dude deserved it over either of our guys, and I would even argue Tuggler from Houston.

The other joke is how in the world did Braden Smith from Purdue win PG of the year over Zeigler or Clayton from UF?? Sears had a down year IMO so I can understand that, but no way that dude should have beat Clayton and ZZ. Clayton deserved it probably. He’s been lights out for UF.

Happy Monday. Today may be volatile in the markets, but God is always consistent. Especially in times of hardship.

April 7, 2025: Beating yourself up because you feel like you do not measure up will only serve to set you back spiritually. There is no upside to self-degradation. Begin to look at how far you have come and what you can do instead of what you cannot do. Remember that you can always rely on God to help you through the rough patches. Do not be afraid. Isaiah 41:10 So do not fear, for I am with you; do not be dismayed, for I am your God. I will strengthen you and help you; I will uphold you with my righteous right hand"

It's a scientific subject with value, but unfortunately it's been turned into a political topic...which likely explains the sarcastic responses you've got. There is merit to studying the frequency and intensity of tornadoes and hurricanes and determining if climate changes have had any influence. Benefits everyone to know...but some equate it to a movement to take away their trucks and make them have an all soy diet or something.

The Sun warms the Earth. Hot Sun (sunspots) hot earth, cold sun (no sunspots) cool earth, that is all.

there's a whole lot of truth to unpack there.

my original hypothesis was that it was aliens, coming back to give egyptians mathematics.

Mathematics is inherent in nature and is discovered. Ancients were masters of geometry but didn't discover Algebra and Calculus because they were shackled to a cumbersome number systems.
Armed with the Hindu-Arabic numeral system and the concept of zero the likes of Newton devised algebraic mathematics which allows for the technology of today to become possible.

He's an Awaka type defender man. (Both have nearly same stat line). We really missed that in Tourney. Esp with Estrella hurt.

I figured all individuals on here that despises Vanderbilt so much, wouldn't take kind to a Vandy refugee. Fans must be getting soft during this new NIL era....

I'll welcome whoever CRB brings in.

But I feel we could have done better. Still lots of talent in the portal with holes on the roster to fill.

I think they wanted to add a big, but didn't feel they needed an elite big. Felix, JP, Cade, and Brown are all here now... Carey has 2 years to play minimum and offers stuff Felix/Cade don't.

Yup. That said we do need scorers, plural.

Seems elite defense gets you to the dance but to get over the hump you have to have it all.
