Ran in to Ms. Smith at a hamburger joint off of Fountainview in Houston about 10 years or so ago.  Absolutely beautiful woman and extremely friendly.

Rats!  Missed her by 10 years! I work in that vicinity.

The UNT golf course was a goat farm...

You mean, before it was a golf course?  Amazing that WKU comes to play us in Denton, without any goats.

Ever been to Cliff's?  That is where I ran in to her.

Nope, I'll have to check it out.  Especially since the start of the 59/610 construction is making it impossible to get to Bubba's.

Good burgers. On Fountainview near San Felipe. If you see Jacquelyn, tell I said hello.

Like historical records show....it's been flooding for centuries.  The more you build the worst the damage.  So what happens?  You keep on building.  Smh.

Speaking for Norfolk only, it is not a matter of choice. Founders in the 1600's settled near the water to have access to the port and fishing and it grew from there. When you visit Norfolk,  you will see everyone is close to water without exception. We have the Chesapeake Bay, two major rivers, and numerous tributaries transversing the city.  Finally, due to the age and density of Norfolk,  if you want to build something new,  it means tearing down an existing structure. There are literally no vacant lots of significance and if they are, you can be sure something stood there earlier.

It certainly is a matter of choice.  And so....if your personal shit floods....YOU should be responsible to rebuild should you choose to do so....not the taxpayer.

You are right. I'm going to spread the word by contacting the Navy today and tell them the thousands of sailors that live in Norfolk should move inland immediately.

Wrong group.  The Navy?  They are prepared for the water.

True....but I doubt many of them own beach front property.

Sounds like it is all "beach front property" depending on the time of day.

That "NOVA" episode to which I referred mentioned that the Navy installations in Norfolk were concerned with the rising tides and possible effects on their mission. I'm sorry that I didn't record it so that I could quote it accurately.
