  1. JFK never made it down to Austin that week. Otherwise this Duck woulda kicked him out of his rocking chair…
  2. Wellyeah, but for any sentient being remaining on Earth to see it visually.
  3. I’ll bet very few stars in the spiral arms will actually collide with each other, if any. The central cores will be another story though. However, that wreck will take thousands/millions of years to progress. Of course I don’t know shit.
  4. And Texas is 21-17 all time at Pyle Field.
  5. Halloween is still fun for some kids….
  6. Mrs. Brat enjoyed the pic too, thanks for posting. This is her leading the Fightin’ Taylor Duck High School band down Main Street in 1963.
  7. Got it covered in Marfa.
  8. That’s why I qualified my reply with this…
  9. BTT….
  10. No, he’s still looking for their journalism school….and nobody knows where it is.
  11. I didn’t get what they were trying to do at all. But I will add that my Mom loved to read the Marmaduke comic strip in the newspaper funnies up until she passed away in 1992.
  12. Well, the land our lease(s) is under is situated 50’ - 60’ below the surface of Lake Sakakawea and has been since the 1950s.
  13. In McKenzie County, North Dakota we got $4,500/acre for a 160 acre plot, plus 1/5 royalty. 5 year lease. But that’s on the higher end in the Bakken’s better play areas.
  14. It’s CR crap.
  15. ……
  16. If you have 58 minutes free time, I highly recommend watching this 1969 documentary film of the master gunsmith of Wlliamsburg. Every step of building a fine quality flintlock long rifle from “scratch”. https://www.reddit.com/r/history/comments/iy09lp/i_found_an_interesting_documentary_on_colonial/
  17. Yes….. $19.95 at Chuck’s Gun Shop in 1964 on Interregional Highway (I-35) opposite Concordia College. I deliberately wiped my saliva all over the lock & barrel to give it an “aged” patina.
  18. The Bakehouse owner Carl still gets a healthy lease check on that building. He is enjoying his retirement.
  19. Football at South Padre Island :
  20. Quicker than you think…..probably less than a second. The last time I fired this Tower .69 caliber repro inthe mid 1960s, it cracked the stock, broke the mainspring, and knocked me on my butt (from a squatting position).
