VorpalBunny Posted September 17, 2008 Report Share Posted September 17, 2008 PRESIDIO, Texas -- A levee holding back the swelling Rio Grande River near Presidio is in danger of bursting as the river continues to rise. Presidio Mayor Lorenzo Hernandez said Tuesday night that the river could top the levee designed for a 25-year flood at any time. "The levee breaking is our biggest concern. What comes after that we'll have to see," said a tired looking Hernandez, who spent part of Tuesday night answering phone calls at City Hall and listening to news reports of flooding to the south, in neighboring Ojinaga, Mexico. We. locally, are all hoping for the best in Presidio for our neighbors. This information is true and Presidio - which is 80 miles uprvier from Lajitas is being hit hard = harder then those of us downriver.

SPRSNK Posted September 18, 2008 Report Share Posted September 18, 2008 Didn't realize they existed. Spill the beans The SAI Museum store sells them. They have sizes Large and smaller available I think. Dubbs checked on it last week. I think I bought the last one made by Omar the tent maker when I was there last May (XXL). They are of the same quality as the Team Shelby jackets. I love em, just won't get much of a chance to wear them here in Texas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DubbsFaris Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 Just wait till she starts walking...it gets REALLY fun then....my girl is at the screeching age...its like screaming, only painful to be in ear shot of. Even all the other parents with kids our age feel sorry for us.... I would recommend that you hang out with some couples with kids of the same age after like 6 months...they will entertain each other and its nice to hang out with adult people that have the same restrictions as you. Thanks for the pics! Great lookin jacket you got! See you in a couple days! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sherri Leicht Posted September 21, 2008 Report Share Posted September 21, 2008 ha ha ha just wait till she is 16!!!!!! The screaming never stops till adulthood.

DutchGT500 Posted October 1, 2008 Report Share Posted October 1, 2008 Hi Sherri, We didn't make it to your house as that was too far. We stopped at Flatonia for a motel and dinner at Roberts Steakhouse (was very good). All the locals eat there. Anyway, thanks for your generous offer. We hope to see you again.
