Used to just toss food scraps in the run until a rat problem in June changed everything

Yeah but honestly is a few rats really that big of a deal? I've had them around my coop for years and they don't bother the chickens or me.

I used to scoff at load charts until I nearly dropped a 12 ton beam in Houston

Man I hear that, glad you caught it in time. Those charts look boring until you realize one mistake can cost way more than the time it took to read them. It's humbling when the old timers turn out to be right all along.

Watched the end of The Mist in a theater in Austin and half the crowd got up to leave

That crowd reaction doesn't surprise me at all. The Mist is one of those rare movies where the ending just leaves you sitting there in silence or walking out mad. My buddy's take about driving off into the fog is interesting but I think that would have been the easy way out. The whole point of the movie is that hope gets ripped away from you at the last second, which is way more realistic than a happy wrap up. Those 10 people who walked out probably just weren't ready for a story that didn't give them a win at the end.

Had a chat with a guy at Goodwill who totally changed how I look at foam armor

Did the foam armor hold up as well after a few convention weekends?

Noticed a big change in how people talk about sourdough starters

Actually, we were arguing about grind size and water temp long before social media. The internet just made it easier to find other people who care.
