July 4Jul 4 Damnit. So that’s two kids for certain as my cousin like me is a Kappa Delta so damnit. At least two still don’t know the fate of their babies. Damn. When I was a counselor at Waldemar I was 19 and we had the kids for 5 weeks basically. The whole month. My cabin was all 8 year olds and one 7 year old who came with a broken arm. I cannot fathom waking up in the middle of the night to this. 7 girls per cabin and one counselor. Counselors are mostly but not all around the same age I was then. Depending on when you were there, you might have known my sister and cousins. She was a Tejas.
July 4Jul 4 Our son just finished 1B at La Junta with our daughter poised to do either Mystic or Waldemar next year. My wife is hitting refresh on all these videos muttering "fuck that, we'll send them to Cheley."

The coolest thing there outside of canoeing (war canoe) was being taught to ride horses by Connie Reeves (a fucking legend who is in the Texas Cowgirl museum. HOF level lady) she was still there when I was a counselor teaching riding, and she passed away at 101 after a fall from her favorite horse Dr Pepper. 🌶️ Me riding in quadrille (teaching horses how to dance basically) on my favorite horse Gunsmoke. That fucker was fast and if I could have stolen and kept him I would have. He’s the handsome fella with tan and black mane and tail in the middle.
July 4Jul 4 I would expect these storms to re-fire tonight. Maybe not, but these remnant lows love the night air.

Was the Tejas stern and competed in War Canoe for 3 years. My baby is a Comanche and was stern of 2nd War Canoe. That is a great pic.

July 4Jul 4 So my two girl cousins who live in Houston and are sisters each know a different missing child. I don’t want to think it’s more than just the two whose names have been circulating but any child missing is too many. One is the daughter of my eldest cousin’s sorority sister, the other is the niece of my youngest cousin’s sorority sister. This is too much. The aunt of one of the missing little girls came to my aunt and uncle’s funerals (my cousins parents died 3 months apart- he from a heart attack and she from early onset dementia) in 2023. so by my count at least now 3 missing confirmed with no answers as of yet. Damnit.

July 4Jul 4 Yeah, this whole situation still makes me want to puke. Mother Nature gives zero fucks, and no matter how much we think we know and can predict…we haven’t figured her out all the way. And this state in particular is unforgiving in that respect.

I just got confirmation that Jane Ragsdale, the operator/owner of Heart of the Hills drowned.
July 4Jul 4 Popular Post My wife just showed me a picture of two girls around 8 sitting in a helicopter that got airlifted out. It was daytime. I am not posting it. But there are active rescues still happening it appears. Edited July 4Jul 4 by A-Tex Devil

Most of what he has posted my daughter is getting from first person texts and screenshots from friends who have relatives there. Homesick horn says there are helicopters in the air. My daughter is part of a group mobilizing to go help with cleanup early next week. Not sure what to tell you.

July 4Jul 4 painful stuff below. Warning… Two of the parents of the missing girls have ok’d this post on FB (I didn’t post it) or I would not post at all or even spoiler it. but that’s how I know there are at least 3 kids confirmed missing at this point. My youngest cousin told me the name and it’s neither of these two cuties we all pray are alive below. Keep thoughts and prayers high as you can. this is a gut punch 🥊 🙏🏼 📿

July 4Jul 4 Popular Post We’ve migrated back to Kerrville, actually my side of town (south). Birds are doing slow, low level passes. I’m back at my house. But the flight pattern, and the non-urgency of the helicopters, make me sick at what they’re now looking for.

Pretty sure this is one of the DPS birds hoisting below...(lower left corner video)
