We've used a 3d fence for several years with no deer intrusion.

Standard stock fence, with a line of taller posts a few feet further in. The inner "fence" just has a top wire run; with stuff hanging on it. We used strips of old greenhouse cover. But may transition to beer cans.

Deer don't have depth perception, so they don't know if they can clear both fences.

The key to food safety there is to precook the stuffing and put it in about halfway through the bird cooking process.

And debating how to safely do recovery from 20 feet up in a tree.

This is event was an order of magnitude worse than anything I've seen.

We need to face a very harsh fact:
Everything we think we know about the climate and expected maximum worst weather is right out the feckin window.

Policy makers aren't going to be prepared and more people will die, many more will be displaced and bankrupted.

We all need to be ready for this. Check your flood and fire maps. Have plans. Build a support network, and give support.

2025-07-05T23:50:40Z

In reply to nevent1q…s284
_________________________

I know the area well and have been through the floods of 1987, 2002, 2006 & had lots of friends impacted by 2015.

A friend of mine has a place near the headwaters of the south fork of the Guadalupe, 5-6 miles above Camp Mystic. It's been in the family since it was part of Mexico. It has the original schoolhouse for the area on it, from 1836. I've spent probably more than a year cumulative there and lived in the area more than a decade. They remember the floods.

The family had a girls camp there in the 1970s-80s. The cabin footings are 6 feet above the 1936 high water line. The cabins are an additional 6 feet above that, sitting on 2x2 foot concrete piers poured directly onto limestone bedrock. In 1997ish I helped the owners anchor the floor joists and hurricane strap the walls and roofs.
At least one of those cabins is gone.
As is the dam which was built in the 1910s -- more than 2 foot thick concrete with down river buttressing extending > 10 feet.

I'm pretty sure the main building at Camp Mystic was the original from 1926. I've seen pictures of cabins *uphill* from the main building with walls missing.

Crider's Dance Hall and Rodeo* was 100% feet dry in 1987. I had lunch there when we were doing SAR. The main bar is well above most of the property. The pool tables were flipped by the force of the water. Today they were going to celebrate 100 years in business.

The Hunt Store -- easily 30 feet above the first flood plain (which is 10 feet above nominal) -- is wrecked and the owner is asking not to be contacted.

This isn't a problem of not remembering. This storm several sigmas past the worst seen in written history. All the river gauges I've seen so far go off scale at 20-25 feet, and stay off line for hours.

First pass guess by looking at the damage done, the crest on the south fork was 40+ feet.

The local officials didn't assess the risk appropriately and didn't have an appropriate notification plan. And to some extent I blame them for the loss of life.

There are also long-standing issues of lack of infrastructure:
There aren't gauges that far up the river -- where the floods start.
There's nothing like a flood warning siren system.
In the 1990s we had a telephone tree, where the upstream land owners would call us, and we'd call places further down, letting them know that they needed to pull stuff up from the river. Apparently that died at some point.

I haven't been back in that area in a while, mainly because I don't fit in politically any more, but even so I mourn.

*Yes, Dance Hall and Rodeo is a thing; and was a helluva good time too.

I tried sewing through the tape, thinking it would reinforce things.
Result: sticky needles and lots of alcohol cleaning things after.

With double side tape the seams are almost as strong as the material. If you double the seam ( kind like a top stitched seam), or reinforce it with a second strip, it's stronger than the material.

I tested emergency storm sails to destruction, the material flogged itself to death at the roped edges before the seams failed. (Almost an hour of close hauled beam winds >30kt, gusting 40+ on a Catalina 22 on a very small lake)

So here it is, a little late, but timely because the fava beans are starting to come in again.

I had a student ask me why so many OT/ICS devices are so brittle about things like this. I didn't have an immediate answer.
Later that day I remembered that there's an entire fleet of PV solar inverters running a TCP stack written by a friend of mine who at the time had zero understanding of networking -- as in I had to tell him about netmasking and gateways while he was working on that project.

I'm fine with unlimited H1Bs, provided:
- the job pays a minimum 4x average single earner income of the US, or the state, whichever is more.
- any direct family accompanying gets a work permit
- it immediately begins a 5-10 year path to citizenship, with being laid-off/fired after 6 months not being a reason for visa revocation, provided they can get re-employed within a reasonable period.

I've seen too many H1Bs working for half the going rate, with a spouse working under the table because they were dragged along with no work permit, and willing to do 80 hour weeks because if they lose the job they're kicked out of the country.

I think those alterations would fix much of the abuse of the system.

I accidentally did an experiment:
I've got a garden border made out of random logs from the farm. All were cut 2-3 years ago. We've got a very active ecosystem out there. The logs are in ground contact, and exposed to the sun.

The oak is nearly pulp and will be raked up on to beds probably next fall. The walnut and cherry are beginning to degrade, but definitely aren't even really beginning to compost. The pine has lost its bark in places where borers got underneath it.
