  1. Well, Bingo might see an increase in popularity nationwide.
  2. Dang, I should read the latest posts before replying!
  3. He got’em alright….to the tune of $100,000,000.
  4. You mean with their “friends in Austin”?
  5. My location wasn’t really very exotic, but it was a place of honor. It was in the chapel of the Rodriquez Army Hospital at Fort Brooke about 1953, and most of the “parishoners” were recovering wounded Puerto Rican veterans of the Korean War. Guess I provided them with a little bit of entertainment that Christmas.
  6. Deep dish Leo is a clear rejection of Pizzaballa.
  7. 70 years ago in Purto Rico when serving as an alter boy at Midnight Mass, I passed out while swinging the incense burner. &nbsp Hated the stench of that holy hashish.
  8. Never mind the safety risks to the family residents of the neighborhood, their quality of life and property.
  9. A retired Vegas friend who has taken up photography as a serious hobby in recent years is vacationing in Yosemite. He does a lot of the computer/filtering with his photos.
  10. Just got 2” in about 45 minutes here in Brushy Creek (78717) - add that to the 1” yesterday.
  11. Cartel mules gonna be totin’ Pepcid across the river.
  12. A good friend’s son entered the U. Of Washington at age 15, graduated at 19, then earned his Doctorate at 21. A STEM field major too, I don’t recall which one.
  13. Guess some states haven’t heard oil prices are down. A friend filled up yesteerday in Yermo, California…. But at least he could stock up on the eats….
  14. Finally found a photo of Jeep, the only cat we have ever had - “inherited” him from our son who had given him to his future wife. She couldn’t keep him and returned him to our son who was living in an apartment with 3 of his college buddies. Naturally, Jeep wound up with us when son & girlfriend married in 1991. I had never been a cat person, but of course Jeep, a Maine Coon breed, “adopted” me as his best friend and crawled all over me at odd hours of the day & night. He lived to age 17, almost 15 of those years with us. He was the biggest cat I ever saw - “only” 18 lbs, but could easily stand on his hind legs and reach up to grab something off the dining table if we weren’t watching. Jeep was a good cat, and I miss him.
  15. Nope, we lived east of I-35 and north of Braker Lane.
  16. Found some more pics of my 1974 MGB - owned it from 1990-2000 when I sold it with only 44,000 on the clock. A collector from Dallas bought it for $6,000.
  17. Loved my basic little 1991 4-banger S-10 with A/C & 4-speed stick. Son wrecked it in 1997.
  18. Better put some “watch out below” warning signs around that site.
  19. Just what the State of Texas needed….another law school. 🙄 And those selfish country clods tried hard to torpedo Tech’s effort to build a desperately needed new veterinarian school.
  20. Serious time out……I have no doubt those old warriors have “Seen the Elephant”.
