That's not going to happen to Stripling. My wife is the architect on the new building/renovation (she did Paschal before this). I have no inside info, but my wife pointed out that Stripling now has several dedicated science rooms, a band hall among other things that are completely inappropriate for an elementary school or pretty much anything besides maybe a very small high school. Even FWISD wouldn't just walk away from all the bond money being spent there. Also, that pla presented last night is pretty dependent on some new money (most likely the form of a new medium sized bond) to add classrooms, etc. to the existing schools taking on students from the closed schools (maybe they can use some of the unspent 2021 bond money?). That's even a harder sell if they are viewed as wasting the existing bond money.
It's mostly elementary schools and a few middle schools. I'll post the ST story tomorrow. Western Hills Primary was one of the elementaries on the block.
FWISD is currently having a board meeting with a consultant presenting consolidation options, one of the suggestions is folding North Hi-Mount into South Hi-Mount Mount.
I've been watching this documentary called "Landman" and it shows that if you have a old vertical stripper well pumping a few barrels a day all you need to do is remove all the casing, preferably in just a few hours mostly at night, and you will be producing a couple hundred barrels a day no problem.
A bit off topic, but anyone have a brand rec on a laptop these days? My mom is about to retire and has to turn her laptop in, she is wanting something like 16in, 500 gig, SSD 32 gig RAM, flexible $700-$800? No macs. Want the USB C for the docking station. I got a Dell I use at work and it is fine I guess?
No CR here, but anyone who objectively follows the Legislature would know that casinos have never been close, it's not a priority in the short 6 month session and there is definitely a portion of the R's that would never vote for it under any circumstances. You gotta figure the Adelson's were aware of this.
It looks like he was under contract for next season with a player option after that. This only makes sense if he has unequivocally told them he won't re-sign with them.
I'd be shocked if OTA is more that just a handful (8?) games. My research also indicates that YouTube TV does not have any RSN a la carte add ons, so I would be really surprised if they get that worked out
It really depends. Some counties have a dedicated public defender office but must just appoint private attorneys from a list. Could get a good one, could get a bad one. It's sound like the revocation was justified, so you need a deal cutter anyway, not Perry Mason.
Pearl Snap is closing. They had a really good breakfast combo where you could pick everything you wanted before the menu changed that I really liked and was affordable. Afterwards they had like $17 plates of French toast. Never really had regular lunch there.
Drive by there twice every weekday, construction work didn't really start until August. They did build a big patio in the back, I will post a picture next week. They also must have a high opinion of their food, there is a dedicated To-Go entrance.
