  1. We have reservations next month for Mrs. Brat’s birthday at this new boutique hotel on the main street. Anyone know anything about it? https://alberthotel.com
  2. Lunch pail prices have been hit with inflation too.
  3. I once did a two hour stretch in a Mexican jail - was arrested in a cantina for being with a group of fellow students who started a big fight over a couple of hookers with a rival school’s students. I swear, I never crawled out of the booth to get involved in the ruckus, and was an innocent bystander who was swept up with the rioting mob. At least I was able to “bail” myself out of the drunk tank with a fifty Peso ($4) bill.
  4. Kissing the ground when they exited the capsule = corny bullshit.
  5. Check out the smaller safe here. These are no cheapos. https://www.brownsafe.com/hd-safes/hd1414.html
  6. Yeah sure, you went camping allright……
  7. Not hardly. I don’t display any firearms. I’ve gifted half my accumulation to family over the decades. Still have 8 or 9 new unfired handguns & rifles in the safe besides the handful I’ve actually shot.
  8. The Frenchie Manurhin folks were pretty smart to adapt the Ruger Service Six frame & lock work for their MR88. My 50 year old Ruger SS .357 still locks up tight like new even though the frame blueing has turned purplish….
  9. Are your kids going to be ok after such a traumatic experience? Glad y’all are safe now.
  10. Well hell yes, it shook our house next to Round Rock, scaring the crap out of us….and we are 9 miles away.
  11. Sheeeiit! That was loud! That massive explosion shook our house way over here in Brushy Creek (west side of Round Rock) - rattle our windows - and everyone came out on our block gawking around. 5 minutes later a Sam Bass FD truck with sirens blaring and lights flashing was speeding around our streets looking for the source . Just looked at Google maps - that house is about 9 miles from our street! Jfc! RIP to any victims.
  12. Given aggie claims about measurements ( like their short Olympic pool), that’s probably a 30 yard dash time.
  13. My dad was visiting at the U. Of Missouri (his Alma Mater - Class of 1933) during that OU game. Coincidentally, he was attending the Tigers’ football game at Faurot Field in their Memorial Stadium. He was vastly amused at the end of each quarter when the Mizzou PA announcer would give updates of the Texas/OU game score. Each announcement brought a huge roar of cheers from the OU-hating Tiger crowd. The final score of 28-7 generated a lot of Schadenfreude in Columbia that afternoon.
  14. Linus Baer, 1963…. https://sanantoniosports.org/hof-members/linus-baer/
  15. Thought this was somewhat amusing…
  16. And partition Kaliningrad with Lithuania.
  17. The Red Ryder edition dress.
  18. Well, all I have to say about high school coaches is the time in 1968 when I was asked to be the designated driver for two of them from Giddings down to Boys’ Town in Nuevo Laredo for an overnighter so they could get laid. I was a newly wedded teetotaler then and could be trusted to keep my mouth shut.
  19. Yeah, my hand was a bit shaky with the cellphone that afternoon & evening. But the two street chicks wanted $$ to take their pics, so I had to sneak around to another vantage point in the Gokden Nugget.
  20. Maybe so, but it’s so easy to do when posting about our friends from College Station.
