it's okay if you say where you're from and then say "traditional lands of the _______ people"


that makes it all okay to build more spec housing and ignore treaties, especially water rights

Update:
It was an accident. The driver is said to be from Western New York.
The video of the “accident” is impressive to say the least. That car got some air time.

I hate to be a conspiracy guy but the pics I posted sure look like there was more to it than a high speed car crash. At the same time I don’t have any experience with car bombs or high speed car crashes.

Bicycled before the weather shuts things down for riding on dirt.

Then one of these is a little bit lost being in our 'hood.

According to my adoption papers my great grandmother on my mother's side was Cherokee. For what it's worth I have had a Yurok and a Navajo medicine man tell me I was of the people .

DID YOU RETAKE SOME FUCKIN REAL ESTATE?
No, but I asserted my rights.

pool related?
Si. We are putting a shade pavilion and there is a ridiculous 60' offset requirement from the rear property line for these kinds of structures. The slope of our yard made it simply unworkable in part because of other township requirements we had to comply with (like storm water remediation due to increased impermeable surface).

Was it red though? That's the most important metric.

The test result is usually given as a percentage. The normal A1c is less than 5.7%. You have a higher risk for diabetes if your A1c is 5.7% to 6.4%. If your level is 6.5% or higher, you have diabetes
so there are actually mortality benefits to getting down closer to 5.0. it's in the green range on your lab work but lower is better from there, if you are so motivated.

well now this would explain a lot of the shit I've been going through. My TSH number is way high. Hypothyroidism. High Cholesterol, sore muscles tiredness, weight gain. looks like I might be going on some meds

Major diet changes coming up, going to have to go low gluten and cut out some of my favorite veggies

Some foods, such as soy-based foods, cruciferous vegetables (such as broccoli, kale, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts), processed or sugary foods, and foods high in gluten (like bread and pasta) may interfere with your body’s ability to absorb thyroid hormone and should therefore be eaten with caution, or avoided altogether in more severe cases of hypothyroidism.

I went hunting with my brother. It rained the entire time. I was cold as fuck and soaked to the bone. I complained the entire time. My feet are still cold. We got nothing again.

I just crossed through there the other day. The car came down Niagara in nf usa which is usually full of cars. Tourists from Ohio and Pensyltucky. Usually get casino excited and lose their minds in the traffic once they realize they probably don't have proper ID and the $5.50 to cross the bridge there. Only to get turned around and have to pay the EZ pass fee on the way back.

Today was a ripper at the track. Haley PR'd on her first session and held pace for the rest of the day. She and her friend (who normally walks on her) we're on each other the whole time - within .2sec almost every lap (43sec laps). The service I did last night, including changing the spark plug made a clear difference. I'll see if I can get a video up later; they are flying - especially if you look at this vs. her videos from back in April/May.

Couple of pics.
