• Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).

A story from my time with CBP...

Among my colleagues was a chap named Rick. Rick was very good making musical sounds of various instruments. On the plane from London that day was the New Orleans Preservation Hall Jazz Band. The arrival lounge in Houston was quite large and was full of passengers. After the band cleared Customs/Immigration while waiting for the porters to gather their luggage, we hear a trumpet playing When The Saints Go Marching In over the loud speaker. We looked over to the microphone and there was Rick serenading them. He got a standing O from them.
 
So 3 major gas pipelines to the EU and Germany from Russia have been sabotaged. It will be cold as the hubs of hell this winter in the EU. Oh well they despise fossil fuels anyway. They will be breaking up the furniture to keep warm.
The forecast is for a long cold winter.
Wonder who would plant bombs or torpedo those major gas lines?
 
Time to start investing in French guillotines...I think they will make a comeback soon.

Liberals took them to riots. They plan on using them.
