I texted a friend that lives out by Stephen F Austin State Park. I know that his house is up on stilts. I asked him if he had any water on his property. He texted back a picture taken from an airplane and boy is it impressive. He labeled it “just a puddle”.
61 Tedtam I can’t tell you how many people have been electrocuted in this region by wading into flooded basements full of hot, live receptacles, appliances, extension cords, etc. If you have a flooded basement, the first thing you should do is go outside to the meter, cut the seal and shut down all electrical power to the entire structure.… Read more »

Curly Dock sounds like the redneck slang for a Brazilian wax job.

Not at the same time, of course.

Curly dock can be eaten, but must be boiled in several batches of water.
Do you need a sous-vide bath for that?

Just got a salad from Panera Bread cause I heard they were really good. Not only did it cost me ten bucks, it’s the most horrible salad I ever ate.
