You know, I never understood why Rio was chosen for the Olympics. It's been a hot bed of mess for decades. It's nasty, poverty stricken, hundreds of thousands of street children and full of crime. Everyone knows the water is nasty, downright dangerous because the folks dump their sewage into it. And yet, it was chosen for the Olympics. And now they want money. Is anyone surprised? Rio state declares financial emergency, requests funding for Olympics RIO DE JANEIRO (Reuters) - Rio de Janeiro’s governor declared a state of financial emergency Friday and requested

I got a little bored as well. I really enjoyed it last season.

Like I said, Disney will be paying a lot of money to this family.. Hard lesson learned but they need to clean up their act. Alligators don't belong at Disney World. Get rid of them, put up fences and plenty of DANGER signs, and as someone suggested, educate their visitors to the danger. I know they can't get rid of all of them and constantly have to be on the watch for them, but it's their job to provide safety for visitors who pay through the nose to visit the Magic Kingdom.

Is this the lake where it says no swimming? It looks so inviting....but are there gaters in that lake? How would you know!

I know there are gators everywhere in South Georgia and Florida. Never in my life would I have thought there would be gators at Disney World Most people plan and save for that magical trip where everyone is a kid. Disney makes it a magical, unforgettable experience for everyone. On this, I think they failed. There should have been DANGER signs everywhere warning of gators. Better yet, they should have gotten rid of the gators, and still had DANGER signs. I don't know the logistics and how the gators get into the lakes. I bet they make some changes now.

Exactly! LOL

Is this better LR? Look at the thunderhead in the background

LOL I would like to know as well since we're paying his salary.

Now I'm reading it's a conspiracy so the liberals can take our guns.

Fried green tomatoes!

Cool clouds

Awww, I hate to hear that. PAULDING 911: AVOID Paul Harris Rd in the area of Marshall Fuller Rd due to live power lines in the roadway. www.nixle.us/8ZQTY Just got this. It was a bad storm!

It looks like the worst is over here but it's still dark. My breakers popped a couple of times and my lights outside came on it was so dark. PAULDING 911: AVOID Due West Rd in the area of Highway 92 due to a downed tree and power lines blocking the roadway. www.nixle.us/8ZQSG DALLAS PD GA: The tree has been cleared from Merchants Dr at First Paulding Dr and both lanes of traffic open. www.nixle.us/8ZQT6

The wind is awful at my house with some sprinkles

It's thundering and dark here with the wind blowing.

He was very lucky. A lot of folks die trying to ride that trail. I did it on my bike and it was scary as hell. I didn't relax until it was over. Been there, done that. Got the T-shirt b Never again.

Well from what I heard on the news yesterday and no, I don't have a link, the FBI was called 3 weeks ago when he went into a gun store to purchase 1000 rounds and an armour jacket. The owner refused. The murdered walked away on his cell phone speaking Arabic very angerly. The owner called the FBI. They never investigated. If you want to blame someone besides the Muslim murderer, blame the FBI.

Because there is a runoff in July for Commission Chairman. In November you can vote however you want. It's not a straight party vote.

It's only open in the General election in November. During Primaries you have to pick a straight party ticket. That's why during a primary I look at the ballots and decide which is the most important to me. I'm not beyond picking a party just to vote another out. And you have to look ahead at the possibility of a runoff.

We rode the Blue Ridge Parkway, and I hate those tunnels!

For years 18 wheelers would cut through on that ride and get stuck in some of the curves. I was reading on the website that they have finally been banned. BULLETIN: Tennessee has finally banned trucks over 30 feet long on the Tail of the Dragon. Signs will be erected in January. It has only been 14 years that the TailoftheDragon.com has pushed for this to happen. Thank you TDOT for finally coming around. DETAILS

We rode it on bikes a few years back. Once was enough for me. LOL My favorite was the Cherahala Skyway, which is nice sweeping curves. And the ride to Fontana was beautiful All of that part of the country is beautiful.

I read that a couple of weeks ago about the dude that went off the trails and fell into the hot pool. Of course they didn't look for him, because they couldn't and there's nothing to find. I've been to Yellowstone. There are geysers everywhere. There are also caution and danger signs everywhere. That's what the trails are for. Never leave the boardwalk trail. Anyone in their right mind would know that if you fell into one, you would be immediately sucked up in a thermal hole that would boil you to death. Some people are so clueless. And don't care. Just like the beach. Yo

I just got a downpour. Now just a light rain.
