Insurance companies trying to rip people off? Shocking.

I am on stilts and if the water is high enough to get in the house, the house would be gone from the wind that kind of storm would generate. This place was built when I was three in the '50s. So I pretty much know what I'm talking about, been through Hugo and I know how high that water was. 6 more feet, we have never had that storm. 

They only pay if water is in the house.

Required to have the flood. Don't ask what it costs.

I gotta figure out a business model where I can get the government to force people to pay me and then work overtime to provide the shittiest service to my customers that I can possibly get away with. That's good work if you can get it.

Everybody should have a backup generator if they can afford it. Large ones should be standard requirements for apartment buildings too.

We considered it when we bought the house because we're over a half mile from the road. Fortunately, it's all buried line from the road so it's really not an issue from there. This is the first time in three and a half years that we've lost power for more than a few minutes.

Power companies and insurance already have a lock on that.

We bought one after losing power for a week at the time after two previous hurricanes. Since then, we've only lost power for over an hour two or three times and one of those was the other year when Duke did their rolling brownout at Christmas. Except for the planned brownout, every time we've lost power has been due to line issues away from my road.

I really want to go solar but I've done the math forwards, backwards, and sideways and just can't make it make sense. It's a losing proposition no matter how I slice it.

Seems like it's wrapping up here. Wind has died down, just a light rain, and it's really brightened up over the last half hour or so.

I just saw the yellow butterflies here, we are super protected on the back side. The wind shifted. 

The old saying was that when you see them, the flounder are in the creek. But water won't clean up for a while. 

I want to see what that predicted 20ft storm surge did down in Florida.

      Xavier Legette is the face of the NFL at the Kentucky Derby

      You joke, but hasn't basically the whole team been in Charlotte this past week together? I'm not one to see the random dumb stuff players put out on social media in the offseason and think it means that's ALL they've been doing and not working on their game.  But it's a little strange that all this is coming out at the same time we're seeing tons of stuff with the team in Charlotte together, even if it's just working out and not even official team OTA's or anything. So he gets a pass from me saying anything now, but if he doesn't show clear improvement this season, it then opens him up to some retroactive criticism for some things.

      Ha-ha, I bet that went through everyone's mind.  Admittedly I don't read all the comments in a thread before I make a post. Great minds think alike!

      An honest look at Bryce Young

      By OneBadCat · Posted

      Cam was hitting his stride as a QB in 2017/2018.     This is why I think stats like completion percentage are overrated. As long as a QB is clutch and makes the throws to win the game the rest doesn’t really matter. What good is a check down stat padder if they’re a choker.  Until Norv Turner (and briefly Chud) got here we put Cam in high pressure throwing situations all the time. We also ran the ball on first down more than most teams in the NFL in the Ron era. Coupled with shitty WRs, all that is expressed in his stats. I also assume Cam took the ball in his hands on many occasions rather than trust Funchess to catch the ball.    It was also never Cams job to play the game like someone else. His presence on the field dictated the game in a way that is rarely seen.  He showed he could play the dink and dunk game just before TJ Watt. That didn’t suddenly make him better than his earlier seasons. He just got put in a legit under center  passing game again for first time since his rookie year with Chud.    Ron took the quickest path to success and abused the RPO because his ass was about to get fired.    Cam never got the credit for being the cerebral player that he was. I just think when you are legitimately a human Superman, sometimes the best play is having the ball in your hands. He was a better passer than Delhomme was.
