  1. Texas Archive of the Moving Image is always a good place to find history. Here is the link to what they have indexed to Hays County: https://texasarchive.org/taxonomy/term/115720?&page=3
  2. For a crew like that, why not Angelo's or Railhead?
  3. Instead, it is a world-class parking lot:
  4. My parents ended up with some furniture from there. Also from the old Sigma Chi house on University.
  5. Can't wait to see some height on the south side of the river. What a waste that Statesman site is.
  6. Roll, sauce, cheese and freeze. No cooking. Then bake, do gravy and more cheese. They just seem to stay together better.
  7. I'm usually full of shit, but on that subject, I've started to make my enchiladas in shallow aluminum pans and then immediately freeze them. As I've said plenty of times, I am a NEISD enchilada devotee. There is just something about freezing them that keeps it all from being a big gooey mess when you later bake them and put the enchilada gravy on them. I'm convinced that all the old traditional Tex-Mex places did it this way, hence all of the "no substitutions" and "the plate is hot" admonitions.
  8. Wow, that is a lot of product. Hope he makes folks pay in advance.
  9. We've had around 3 inches so far this new year at our place between Menard and Eldorado. As our ranch foreman is fond of saying, "the place has it's Sunday suits on." There has been no livestock grazing there the past two years due to drought. Not sure if that will change this year.
  10. Too damn much salt on everything there.
  11. Great game tonight. Both teams/coaches have a lot of respect for each other. That was one hell of an at-bat by Flores to get that homer!
  12. You are not wrong. Pre-covid, I questioned what was driving market valuations, so I put together a small play portfolio in my non taxable accounts of stocks that had solid dividend histories. 75 percent of them stopped paying dividends. The valuation didn't change all that much. Crazy.
  13. Waikiki is basically Las Vegas with beachfront. There really needs to be some sort of licensing authority to permit whether the large European men and women are allowed to wear Speedos or bikinis there!
  14. Pearl Harbor and Diamond Head, obviously. Both are pretty cool. The remaining artillery batteries on Diamond Head give some perspective on what serving in WWII must have been like.
  15. One of the neatest things we did the last time in Oahu was to take a ride to their Chinatown mid-day. All of the fruit, veggie, and meat markets were very interesting. (I had my portrait taken with a whole pig!) Lots of fun restaurants where all that we could do was to point at the pictures on the menus. That would be a fun time for your kids.
  16. Loco Moco is the nuts. Spam Musubi from the convenience stores is a great thing to bring along on a road excursion.
  17. Happy hours at Dukes in Waikiki are a must. Live music, great drinks, and the very best calamari that you will ever eat.
  18. That Holiday Inn has been a blight forever, but I guess that it is still a cash machine for somebody.
  19. Yuck. Get well soon, Princess.
  20. That music is from Carl Orff's classic "Carmina Burana." The movement is "O Fortuna" Crazy conspiracy theory. Then I realized that it was you, Nicole! Carry on!
  21. More folks around Rainey Street to keep Nicole busy! 700 River Apartment Tower Celebrates Topping Out in the Rainey Street District https://austin.towers.net/700-river-apartment-tower-celebrates-topping-out-in-the-rainey-street-district/?pro=jude@towers.net
  22. David was a great guy. Got to know him some through Aquafest over the years. Many mutual friends who all thought the world of him. RIP.
