I’ll see your drunken mayor, and raise you mine. He lives a few doors down from me. He’s currently suspended from office (thankfully).
He has a very serious illness of alcoholism. Hopefully he’s in treatment. I haven’t seen him in months. His family has been keeping a very low profile. I suspect they may be in the process of moving away from here.
Read the article, but this originally started on election night 2018. He blamed our own PD of racism and targeting him specifically iirc. He was drunk. The latest included a firearm and a suspended license.
I am surprised none of these people that are in known flooding areas haven’t signed up for the National Flood Insurance Program. The Feds (FEMA) a long time ago made it a mandate that communities had to develop a flood ordinance and join NFIP.
That said, I don’t believe private P&C is going to want to touch insuring these places anymore. Short answer, their profitability desires can’t afford the risk.
Florida beach property is already not insurable. Your tax dollars make up the difference. Congrats.
I take that back- your tax dollars would make up the difference if the country were solvent. The money that the feds print on your behalf (debasing any savings you may have) makes up the difference.
The details in the story are fantastic. Chef’s kiss.
I grabbed his right arm while giving the verbal instruction, ‘Chuck E, come with me Chuck E,’” the report stated. “[The suspect] immediately started tensing up locking both of his arms forward in front of his chest and attempted to pull away from my grip on his right arm.”
Cruz noted that the mouse was placed “into double locked handcuffs and escorted to my marked patrol car,” according to the doc.
LIttle known fact - in Australia, Chuck E. Cheese is known as “Charles E. Cheese” because in the land down under “chuck” is widely used slang for vomit.
Chuck E. Cheese is also where Book of Zelph author / revelator Josh Anderson was employed as a young adult when he was inspired to write the classic, or as he puts it:
“I was persecuted at Chuck E. Cheese on trumped up charges like ‘chronic tardiness’”.
“Daddy, why don’t we visit Grammy and Pappy anymore?”
“Because the last time we visited they came down with a case of COVID syndrome because you and your brother are carriers, but we don’t have to worry about brother anymore because he died of Polio.”
Honestly, my aging parents are now 7 months a year in FL and I think I’ll just continue to visit them when they are in NM during the summer. My dad voted for this, but at least he got all the vaccines before.
