Sort of like my neighborhood except with houses. The city spent 3 years rebuilding a street through the area - royal pain in the ass, too. The reason for the street rebuild was to put sidewalks in so the children weren't walking in the road to their school. Then they shut down the school.

In the middle of 105 degree weeks long heat, the city put in thousands of dollars of trees and grass. Nobody, the residents or the city is watering the trees or grass. They are dying daily.

@Cyberty debunked this. Said this was not an accurate depiction. He can explain it better than me.
There was a report recently that said there were serious problems with Hoover Dam being able to produce electricity due to low lake levels. I saw photos of Lake Mead from last year and recently which shows a marked decline in water. In fact, someone said they were finding a large number of bodies in the lake as it declines.

For all the barbarity of Putin’s war, the livelihoods of millions of Europeans have already been sacrificed on the altar of the gross incompetence of European leaders. And the livelihoods of millions more are at risk. They’re right about one thing, though: the future of Europe depends on the struggle between democracy and autocracy — between us, the people, and them, the autocrats.

All new commercial projects in the area are required to dig a large storage basin on part of the property to contain rain runoff from overwhelming the sewer system. We have all these little lakes around town after rain and then a host of mosquitoes as it goes away.

My city like many don't enact their own municipal codes. They simply impose the international building codes on us.

Doing the same thing around me, two roads running parallel to mine are closed, one for a bridge repair, another for basically no reason other than a make work for state workers. They have killed trees, sprinkler systems and gardens, fought verbally and physically with homeowners. Meanwhile, my road is fvcked with traffic with people not sure where they are going. They have added multiple "temporary" lights and four way stops which have made all roads around here a mess. Businesses are hurting enough and losing more traffic.

American Leaders would risk destroying the USA over Taiwan. But continue to do business with China.
Again Trump was right.
No one seems to understand all the US Global Policeman Role has done is create a bunch of BILLIONAIRES in the US MIC. All the US Bush Wars since WW2 have done is enrich the Arms companies and their sycophants in the Military Brass and the Political Class.

On the road recently replaced, the city put two "chicanes" in the road to stop speeders who weren't speeding. They literally have those "swervy arrow" lane change signs on the street leading to the chicanes. No way two cars can pass each other at the same time and the curbs are black from cars hitting these outcroppings.

I know the issues with Lake Mead. He said something about where the picture was taken. I have no idea.

Just a picture from a magazine called Long Range. I am good to about 1000 yds with the .338 but I want a new scope.
I have been reading some good reviews on what is a new scope to me called the Titan. They have various long range scopes.
They are in the 800-1,000 USD range vs the known 2000-Infinity prices of the well known company's like Leopold, Night Force etc.
I enjoy getting out with the young'uns and out shooting or at least holding my own with the younger sports.

Yeah, as he mentioned, these are the spillways. I think the last time they were used was back around 1998 or so. When the dam is full, to avoid water levels getting too high, the spillways allow the water to flow over, through those large pipes, and down to the Colorado river below. They're actually pretty cool to see when it's happening, but we're a very long way away from that happening anytime soon.

Joe Manchin did not fold. Mitch McConnell was not outsmarted. It was a setup all along to make it appear as such. All the typical "news" sites and press went right along with their charade.

See who the kick backs flow for US Global Policeman Role. In this case through NATO an the EU to a new Proxy War with Russia. Why is the USA involved in protecting the EU which has 600M citizens and the 3 rd largest economy on the planet.
To make those politicians and members of the MIC wealthy on your tax dollars and the blood of our children.
Jefferson warned against foreign entanglements, Eisenhower warned us against the MIC. And Trump tried to turn the tide. That is why they stole AMERICA to get rid of TRUMP Kennedy they just shot him.
Makes you wonder about all the lies you have been fed.
9/11, Viet Nam, Libya, Iraq, Afghanistan on and on. Every conflict generates Billions into some ones pockets.
