Go to 211.org. Put in your zip code. Call the 211 number for your state. See if they work from home and have part time help.

A bit of Kerr County history with their warning system (realizing hindsight is 20/20.) https://www.nytimes.com/2025/07/06/us/texas-flood-warnings-sirens.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Uk8.pO6d.3t_MH991fVLr&smid=url-share

I like when I land on something I know absolutely nothing about and find it to be a wonderful surprise. I saw "Bafta nominated" and a police procedural called "The Offence" on Britbox and ended up binging the first season over the long weekend. I love the three female leads and thought the...

The critics had their say: Now the NYT readers choose their top 100 movies (actually 500) movies of the last 25 years. https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/movies/readers-movies-21st-century.html?unlocked_article_code=1.Uk8.dwgt.1ySLIwih-eRZ&smid=url-share

There is a place on the Kansas Turnpike where a family and another man were swept to their deaths. But the weird thing is there isn't a stream, lake or pond anywhere to be found. I've been on that road at least a hundred times and I'm still mystified by that one flash flood. The numbers are...

From someone familiar with the camp and then a note from Betty's cousin at the end: https://x.com/carolinewren/status/1941538181448348088?s=46 “Camp Mystic is an all girls Christian camp on the Guadalupe River and opened in 1926 and has been run by the same family since the 1930s. The current...

I'm not sure why people are put off by another language. I think about all of the versions of "The Bridge" and I still prefer the orginal although "The Tunnel" was good.

I think the forcast called for three to six inches of rain and the NWS did issue a flood watch on the July 3rd. But that much rain in that short of time? Unless it is a hurricane how do you predict that? At another site a woman talked about her young cousin, Betty, who was in one of the...

You forget that COVID is still out there knocking people down. RIP

Well I will look for Astrid. Thanks for the info.

Horrible news. https://www.wsj.com/us-news/catastrophic-flooding-hits-parts-of-texas-4d1b7375?st=tHSQvL&reflink=desktopwebshare_permalink

I watched "Living" last night. Bill Nighy's award nominations are certainly well deserved and Aimee Lou Wood was a great addition as well. I loved the setting of London of days gone by and the story of a man with a terminal diagnosis who breaks out of his shell at the end of his life.

Maybe the best "heavy" of my lifetime though I loved his gentler role in "Thelma and Louise." RIP

I thought I stumbled onto a thread about Nancy Drew mysteries. Forks for me. And a few socks.

"Patience" has been a wonderful surprise and a good mystery series on PBS. It is set in York and involves a group of detectives and a young woman who is autistic who works in their records department and has a talent for puzzles and pulling details together. "Murderbot" is a half hour weekly...
