Thank you for sharing, TL.

The only thing I can recall about the accident was pulling out from the right hand lane to get around a box van and then see two white dots in front of me....

Damn that is just insane, I can't even fathom what it'd be like to experience that. It's a god damn miracle you survived considering you weren't wearing a seat belt. Probably best you don't really remember the actual impact, seems like that'd make an already traumatizing event that much worse. Did you have issues driving after that? I feel like I'd be paranoid as hell that someone was going to cross over and hit me!

A little.... first time I got back in a car (passenger seat) it was a little eerie the first few minutes but it quickly went away. When I finally got a replacement vehicle (bought one my sister had that was company leased and due to be returned) I got in and drove it from her home in Colorado Springs back to Reno where I lived at the time. It was like the old "fall off a horse, get right back on" adage.

Only thing of a flashback came a few years ago here when I was heading south on the Loop 101 in the number one lane just north of Westgate and a car coming up in the northbound lanes from the Cardinals game lost it into the median and ended coming towards me, flipping over the center barrier and barrel rolled twice stopping on its roof. I was far enough away to come to a stop a couple hundred feet from where it stopped but yeah..... the adrenaline was flowing.

I was a passenger in a vehicle that lost control at high speed. We started spinning but luckily the car never took flight, we just pinballed all across the 51 hitting 7 cars in total. No one had even a scratch amazingly but man for a long time after that I was nervous nelly anytime I rode with anyone else. I was that passenger that would lean over and look at the speedo constantly. haha

Amazon trying to buy Whole Foods. Yesterday, Bezos tweets he wants ideas on philanthropy.

Perhaps he should bail out our beloved Yotes and build Whole Foods arena in DT P-town?

I'm looking for anything with color, that's evergreen, will climb a tree without much help, and won't overwhelm the thing entirely.

Any ideas?

This sort of got lost in the shuffle. I wish I could help, but I'm the worst person for this. i'd have trouble identifying anything other than a rose.

I went with Bower Vine. I think if it survives the summer it'll be fine for years to come. But I'll give it 50/50 that it's still sucking water in September. It's ****ing hot out there!

Two year Rapid City Rush affiliation is finished

http://rapidcityrush.com/news/?article_id=883

With the rush shifting to the Wild as their parent team, I wonder if we seek another ECHL affiliate or we go without one for a year or two. We usually only had 1-2 players on the Rush, so I don't see the Coyotes or the Roadrunners being too affected by not having an affiliate. Of course, I'm sure there are other options in the ECHL if we want to pursue them.

ECHL teams currently without NHL affiliates:

#4 Fort Wayne Komets (IN) - currently independent
#6 Adirondack Thunder (NY)
-- Jacksonville Icemen (FL)
-- Portland (ME) - future market (2018-2019)​

I heard it got to 119 down in the valley today. Only 102 up here in Payson. People were still complaining.

I laughed at them.

Housekeeping question:

Anyone have interest in adding new thread prefixes that might be useful?

Suggestions of what those might be or would be useful? Don't use prefixes so you don't care?

I assume chickens can handle the heat.

I assume chickens can handle the heat.

In the community of Whispering Pines where I live (and where the chickens are) it's usually 5-10 degrees cooler than in town. It only got up to 95 today at the house. Most breeds of chicken can handle up to 100 provided they have open-air shade and plenty of water. We keep layer breeds who are among the breeds that can. Meat breeds generally aren't as good at it, so if you raise a meat breed you have seasons in which you can raise them if you live in a warm climate like Arizona. They mature from being chicks to being ready to be eaten in 6-12 weeks usually though.

In contrast, layer breeds don't handle cold as well as meat breeds, but it's pretty simple and inexpensive to throw a heat lamp in a coop full of layer hens in the winter in cold climates. Cooling a coop for meat birds in the summer takes a lot more effort and expense.

Edit: side note, we got "unlucky" with our batch of the half dozen layer-breed chicks we bought in the winter. One (who was incorrectly labeled as a layer breed turned out to be a meat bird instead) didn't survive the injuries she sustained when one of our dogs broke into the chicken run, and at least 2 of the surviving 5 (and possibly a third) are roosters rather than hens. We have one remaining adult hen and I've gathered that a good ratio of roosters to hens in a flock is 1 to 10, so 2/3 to 4/3 is not a good mix considering how aggressive roosters (especially from layer breeds) can be. We'll most likely have to remove (i.e. butcher) at least one of them.

Sorry to hear, but very interesting. Someday, soon, I'd like to do something like that in Hood River, Oregon.

RR(Marc) just sent me an email with some sad news, his daughter has passed away. For those of you who didn't get a chance to meet her she was a very friendly and sunny person. He said a lot of us on here met her and he just wanted to let everyone know. I know I won't be alone in sending thoughts and prayers his way.

 

[KG]

So sorry to hear that. God bless and condolences.

 

[RABBIT]

God Bless you Marc, out deepest condolences

 

[rt]

That's terrible. He's a great guy. I've had the pleasure of meeting both. Terrible news.

 

[XX]

RR is a terrific dude, that's awful. Thoughts out to him and his family.

 

[Bonsai Tree]

My deepest condolences, Marc.

Sorry to hear about that Marc, you and your family have my deepest sympathies. May she rest in peace.

 

[Tad Mikowski]

I only had the pleasure of meeting Marc once, and never his daughter. But that's horrible news, my condolences.

 

[Sinurgy]

No...no, no, no...that is horrible. I'm so sorry Marc. My deepest sympathies.

 

[moosemeister]

Marc, I'm very sorry to hear about your loss. My deepest condolences.
