Perhaps the BEST B1G Forum anywhere, here at College Football Fan Site, CFB51!!!

We haven't had oppressive heat here, yet.  Last year I think the highest high was 93°F, which wasn't that bad.  I usually walk with the wife and if we stay in the shade it's fine, so far.  The track where I run is about a quarter in the shade and the rest open, but it's very open so I catch a breeze usually.  And I sweat a lot, which I suppose is a good thing.  

Here in Houston we are getting the Ark ready cause it seems that it has rained for 40 days in a row

This is eye-opening. Every HS kid should know about this place.

I like stats like that first one becuase the selection bias is super interesting there. That's not to say Rolla doesn't have a good engineering school (it does). But it's not just a factory that makes kids into soon-to-be wealthy professionals. 

(I'm also kinda confused about the NPV math. It certianly doesn't seems to be a case of raw return on investment, but I'm sure I'm missing something)

Humanities can be fine as a degree, but it's less likely to pay out than STEM obviously.  Quite a few jobs just require a college degree, in something.

My neice got a very expensive degree in psychology from Emory and then worked at an insurance company for a while, then did the mom thing.

Most graduates with a degree in humanities do get some kind of job somewhere that is OK.

"They" are filming the series "Ozark" around us, the past few weeks and next.  I was looking at filming one scene in the park below us, there were a ton of people involved, and a green screen, I think, we were on the opposite side of it, it might have been for lighting.  Evening shot.  We get street closures and sidewalk closures and restaurant closures, Ozark is one of the current projects.  We often seen multiple lines of heavy cables running down the sidewalks.  Power?  Dunno.

I watched a few episodes of that series a while back on the advice of a friend and got bored and quit, maybe I should gander again?

I don't know if it previously was filmed around here.

A few months back, I was jogging in the park, nice day about 50°F and came across snow, a LOT of snow, in one area, melting fast.  There was a production group breaking down over there, about 5 large trucks worth and cables everywhere and tents and trailers.

It is amazing how a fairly short scene can require a relatively massive operation.
