Very sad. I know people in Cave City. It’s a pretty area of Arkansas.

Bad, bad night for their town. My town got hit in 2021, but last night we were spared. Storm was headed straight for us and veer north just as it neared us. Feeling blessed and relieved this morning, but hurting for those not so fortunate. We have a good storm shelter and we use it.

Creighton player did that back at Hurley. Someone should have chewed Hurley @$$ for provoking rival players with his 🐂💩 taunting after the last game between the two. The connection was so clear that I wouldn’t be surprised if sports media “didn’t notice” the connection. Are they making “poor innocent Hurley” into a “victim”?

“Don’t start nothing, won’t be nothing” should have been the headline.😂 There should be a gif that starts with Hurley sh!t talking and cuts to the dunk.

"Two wrongs, doesn't make a right" be the bigger person.

Tough night tonight here in Arkansas. Multiple tornadoes touching down all around us. We are prepped to head to storm shelter, if they come our way. Lots of damage all around - with it being this late not sure of possible loss of life. Cave City, AR has been hit hard.

Didn't know you were in AR too. Friend of mine in Paragould had their house destroyed. It was bad in that part of the state.

The Death of Caesar​


On the Ides of March, the Senate was to meet in the Curia Pompeii, an annex of the colonnaded porticus adjacent to the stage of the Theater of Pompey, which he had been built just a decade or so before. Caesar was late and, as Brutus and Cassius anxiously waited for him to arrive, one of the senators confided that his prayers were with them. "May your plan succeed," relates Plutarch, "but whatever you do, make haste. Everyone is talking about it by now." But there was nothing the conspirators could do except grasp their daggers and prepare to use them on themselves, if need be. Porcia, the daughter of Cato, whom Brutus had married within a year of her father's death, had insisted that she be told of the plan. The day of the assassination, her anxiety was so great that she became hysterical and fainted from apprehension.

Suetonius relates that a soothsayer had warned Caesar that he was in grave danger, which would not pass until the Ides had ended. Entering the building, Caesar now chided him that the day had arrived. "Yes," he replied, "but they have not yet gone." As Caesar took his seat, the conspirators gathered around him on the pretext of presenting a petition. One then took hold of his purple toga and ripped it away from his neck. A dagger was thrust at Caesar's throat but missed and only wounded him. Another assassin then drove a dagger into his chest as he twisted away from the first assailant. Brutus struck Caesar in the groin (a telling blow, perhaps, given that his mother Servilia once had been Caesar's mistress). Hemmed in, "Caesar kept turning," writes Appian, "from one to another of them with furious cries like a wild beast." When he saw that Brutus, too, had drawn his dagger, Plutarch relates that Caesar simply covered his head with his toga and sank to the ground. Although Suetonius records that Caesar died "uttering not a word," some, he says, had written that Brutus was reproached in Greek with the words Kai su, teknon, "You, too, my child?" It was these words that Shakespeare would later present in Latin as Et tu, Brute.

Even though the second wound later was thought to have been fatal, the conspirators continued to strike at Caesar, at times cutting one another with their own daggers, until they, too, were covered in blood. Slumped against the pedestal of Pompey's statue, Caesar died, having been stabbed twenty-three times. "The pedestal was drenched with blood," writes Plutarch, "so that one might have thought that Pompey himself was presiding over this act of vengeance against his enemy, who lay there at his feet struggling convulsively under so many wounds."

Julius should have annihilated all these guys when he had the chance...he knew he was hated, but his arrogance got the best of him.

If I ever accumulated and consolidated power in the way he did...everybody I even thought MAYBE wanted me dead or was disloyal would be toast...I'd go full Stalin on them....lol.

I get what you're saying but Creighton had the game won without the antics at the end. The Creighton HC chewed his players @$$ for doing that. Common courtesy is to just dribble and let the clock run out, showboating is frowned upon.

I confused, I thought this was Chreighton retaliation for something Connecticut had done in an earlier game..🤔

If so...then pile it on...but if not then this was really gauche.

I guess it was from when Hurley was making the he has two Championship rings towards the Creighton crowd earlier in the year after the game. Creighton player took it upon himself to rub the victory in Connecticut's face by showboating at the end when the game was in full control...

We built our new (21) house with a safe room in our bedroom walk in closet. Best money we spend!

Our shelter is about 10 yards from back door, very convenient. If I was building new I would go with safe room too

We built it on its own foundation, so it’s completely anchored separately from the house. The manufacturer said “your house can be blown away and you will safe in here” then he added “I pray y’all never have to test my statement“🙏🏻
