In December 2024, in the thread "Re: BRK: Why Not XOM?", BreckHutHigh asked the members: "What about the long road trips with kids?" This week it is put to everyone again. The button below opens the small thread re-asking it - read what others have said so far, then give your own answer as an ordinary reply.

Looks like more assets are showing up:

Texas DPS
@LtChrisOlivarez
tells me DPS is now patrolling the area and has a drone in the air and can see Mexican military assets now staging on the other side of the river.

Maybe embed some Marine snipers in with the BP guys. They could use a little live fire practice now and then.
