Also, who the hell says you have to drink at a party?
I haven't had a glass in the last dozen parties I've attended.
Yeah, I'm not sure I understand this whole idea that "party" means "drinking".
BTW, my city also has a dam in imminent need of repair.
http://www.swg.usace.army.mil/Missions/DamSafetyProgram.aspxQuoteAny dam safety issues at Addicks and Barker could have a far greater impact due to the magnitude of people and property downstream, as opposed to other dams around the country in rural or low-population density areas.
...Texas is rather prone to catastrophic weather events.
Then again, so is the Pacific coast, right?
I would be surprised if it didn't, given that most dams were build around 50 years ago and the lifespan for a dam is about 50 years.
The Pacific Coast is, perhaps oddly, not prone to catastrophic weather events at all. In fact, it is downright motherfucking placid. It is, however, prone to the occasional high winds, earthquake, volcano, or tsunami.
Even the rain is different there, it's SOFT. I couldn't believe the flowers that grow there.
Ours comes down like a cow pissing on a flat rock with flash floods and power outages and wind knocking down trees and lightning hitting all kinds of shit. Then the sun comes out, the steam rises from the cement and no more rain until winter, hot hot hot everything dies.
The thing that's amazing is that people LIVE THERE. Why?
See, if I designed a species, they just wouldn't bother living places that suck. They've leave Texas to the rattlesnakes and whatever other deadly things like to live in deserts.
West Texas is like that, except for the rain part, mostly.
Where I live could best be described as somewhat swampy.
Except when it's droughty. Or flooding.
We get either too much rain or too much sun or too much heat, and maybe the occasional mild tornado.
I stay here because I can get a job here, something not guaranteed if I lived somewhere else.
Roommates just realized Monsanto was evil. Welcome to the party, y'all.
I had one of my Politics students try to tell me about CCA yesterday. I laughed.
Which was probably a bit mean. He's a good kid, knows his politics better than most. It was just like "and welcome to the party". I also added to his knowledge, by pointing out the racist roots of slave labour in the US, and how, among other things, Congressional offices are furnished by items made by prisoners. So I wasn't entirely mean.

My Darwin money is on the fire ants for now, but we might have a new contender.
I do tend to see a lot more population density in places that are semi-habitable, like the east coast. The Pacific coast is really nice too, not sure why it's not packed there.
Old Weird Ben.
SAM-e and 5-HTP. I'm not a hippie but holy fuck, this shit helps me sleep and be reasonably happy/non-suicidal.
Sing to me of this miracle that is 'happy/non-suicidal' for I am unfamiliar with its like and would know more.
It's pretty fucking great. I hardly ever drink too much anymore.
SAM-e is fairly expensive and you have to be careful about the brand you get. But when I take it in the morning, I can sleep that night, and stay asleep. I don't end up with that churning cycle of rushing thoughts keeping me awake. Bonus: It's good for my joints. The 5-HTP just smooths out my mood.
It's awesome.
I've taken antidepressants before and they didn't do shit, so this is pretty awesome.

One of mine from ages back. Needs a caption I think

So many bent republican Bible thumpers. Can't keep up.When I took human sexuality, our prof indicated that the BDSM and swinger's communities were majority Republican voters...from what I've seen, probably true.
