  1. I think that is the non-functional glide model that was used in early testing prior to the “real” shuttles actual launching. California was the secondary landing site for a few of the shuttle missions, so I do not begrudge them for the one they received. The real shuttle in New York City is the one that should’ve been presented to NASA in Clear Lake. NYC had no major physical connection to the shuttle program. That presidential decision was obviously a cheap shot political snub of Texas.

  7. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/austin-to-cut-ties-with-homelessness-nonprofit-after-misrepresented-records-claims/ I would love to see an independent investigation/audit to see what really has been going down with this obvious “homeless services” scandal - how long it has been going on, how much much was skimmed, whose pockets were filled….and what relationship they had/have with past & present city leaders. Of course no such thing will happen, nor will local media have the nads to discover the truth.

    Getting old sucks

    Attended a memorial service today for a young (70) member of our happy hour group. About 70 people showed up and all but a handful were old farts, blue hairs, & white hairs. Then it dawned on me that I was one of the oldest present, except for the decedent’s 90+ year old mother.

  10. I saw a photo of that stone house in an Austin book years ago with the caption identifying it as the former Redford home.

  12. My grandparents used to have a big pile of corncobs to choose from on the way to their outhouse.

  14. Butch finally persuaded him to take that final jump? RIP
  15. I was on amiodarone for a heart treatment last year that caused photosensitivity for my skin. But being a lazy homebody I don’t really spend extended time outdoors, so it never was an issue for me.
