Stop filling dumpsters, as much as you possibly can, and everything will get better.

Just think it through.

No. They take all our manufactured items back to China like hamburgers and debt.

I spent like 4 minutes trying to figure out which window tab that damn music was coming from. Warn a brother already!. LOL

Nice pad, wish I could say I had as much.

Couple questions.

First, did you use camcorder/Vegas? (I have a Canon HV10)

Second, no "Mission Accomplished" banner?

Third, Do you still have those "corn rows"?

You will have a nice view of the hurricanes as they come in :) :) :)!

Oh no, it's not like that. I use mozilla, so it's all the same full screen window, but the tabs are like 4 pages long sometimes. So total probably 100 tabs at once sometimes, above that though my computer starts to get errors and close firefox. At least firefox restores itself to it's previous condition most of the time when that happens.

It's how I moderate, trying to open every single post I've missed since the last time I was online.

I wish there was a way to block music but still let me know it's trying to play. That could have been trouble at work.Good song though.

Yes a Camcorder... JVC HDD.

The mission is no "accomplished".

And no... the "rows" perished soon after my tan began to fade. :)

The party is as soon as I can afford to host such a shindig.

mistel

Most of the container ships are full coming... empty going.

Nope... south of Houston.

Neat digs. Jujube and pecan trees (among others) will help to round out the food production in your yard.

The little white poles in the water are (?) crab pots? Going to have a set of steamers as your SHTF gear collection, along with long poled nets and string (to tie chicken wings to) when the pots finally deteriorate?

Regarding crab pots etc... I think I'd think twice before eating anything out of the water that close to Houston! 8O

The recovery proceeds actually. What you can't see in that vid are the massive new marshlands which Parks & Wildlife have created across the bay. This new niche replaces such areas which were previously destroyed.

The result has been a steady return of species over the last 15 years.

The pelicans have returned, & so have multiple species of dolphin.

Regulations on toxic dumping have tightened as well & the net effect has been positive.

But you are correct... some of that stuff can last for decades.
