  1. Visiting a friend there for the first time.
  2. A Brit friend will be taking his small family there in June for a week’s stay. Any info on reasonable lodging, plus things to do would be appreciated.
  3. Rollingwood olds heading for Dirty Sixth.
  4. And everybody knows it except delusional aggy redasses.
  5. In August, 1966, less than a week after Charles Whitman’s Tower massacre, while going back to my apartment after a summer class I turned the corner in front of the old Varsity Theater (now a CVS & Wells Fargo) on the Drag to walk westward on 24th. About halfway down the block there was an extremely loud & sharp “bang” like a gunshot, and I dropped to the sidewalk as did two other guys not far in front of me. It was a scary moment before we got up to realize what happened - the Castilian dorm building was under construction and the massive work crane alongside it apparently had lost a load when the cable snapped and dropped it several stories. There was a good size cloud of dust billowing above the plywood barrier fence by the construction site and some workers were shouting. Luckily nobody was hurt in the accident. I and the other jittery pedestrians dusted ourselves off to resume our journey back to West Campus.
  6. I agree, and that Bolton should stfu. The US should stay out of any military offensive measures to respond to Iran’s attack. But we should realize this quote is incorrect: It did not begin with the bombing of the Iranian consulate building. I believe that was just a part of Israel’s ongoing eradication of the Iranian terrorist enablers/supporters/suppliers who helped orchestrate The October 7th massacre. But Israel erred with their technically illegal attack on the consulate. They should’ve taken out those Iranians in a non-diplomatic location. Much like the ATF could have arrested Vernon Howell anytime he was away from the Branch Davidian compound, and avoided the inevitable blowback.
  7. I already understood Israel attacked the Iranian consulate/embassy and that Iran had the right to respond. However, restraint on “our part” means nothing to the radical Islamists running that country. They are guilty of mass murder and are sneering at the West’s weakness just like Putin is.
  8. Waitaminute! The Turks are basically saying the US “approved” this attack if the Iranians “limited” its scope? WTF?
  9. Sherrill’s “success” was based on cheating, which of course violated the aggy “honor code” - whatever those goobers call it. They don’t care, and never seem to remember the shame of being sanctioned with post-season bowl bans TWICE.. Even Kurt Bohls in today’s AAS panders to that cheating SOB by not mentioning the disgrace Sherrill brought to aggy land (and MSU afterwards). Allowing that dirtbag in the Texas Hall of Fame is a shame and those who promoted it should be kicked out of the selection committee . https://statesman-tx.newsmemory.com/?token=5e5d04df1052190332afb9b27d524884&cnum=fd6bbe4c-2b3e-eb11-a0ad-90b11c3d639b&fod=1111111STD-0&selDate=20240415&licenseType=paid_subscriber&

  11. My Brit friend (ex-RAF and Falklands veteran) just sent me this….
  12. QE should insist on their G600 for his free rides wherever he chooses to travel. https://www.nicholasair.com/jet-fleet/gulfstream-g600 https://www.gulfstream.com/en/aircraft/gulfstream-g600/
  13. Jackie Sherrill? Who in their right mind would want that cheating SOB in the venerable HoF?
  14. The Animal Husbandry Department’s Insemination 101 instructor.
  15. Besides, Ukraine is running out of defensive ammo.
  16. I am watching North By Northwest. Just saw that Eva Marie Saint is still with us at age 99 and will turn 100 on the 4th of July.
  17. Ben Hogan & Arnold Palmer 58 years ago….at The Masters…
