  1. Point and laugh at the SEC!
  2. I feel the same way about field sobriety tests. Haven't dealt with one yet, but that will be a hard no for this guy. I'm so awkward that I couldn't pass one if I was sober as a judge (I know!) in broad daylight. Add in the stress of being pulled over by the side of the road at night when you likely have had a couple of drinks but are probably fine. Flashing police car lights and oncoming car traffic lights. No thanks. I'll take my odds on a blood test and try to come across as coherent and good humored on the police body cams. It worked for Jeff Ward. Not so great for Augie.
  3. I think that lawyering up was the main point of that video upthread.
  4. From Downtown Dallas waiting for my coffee to brew FIGHT!!!!
  5. Great party host! See you on Saturday with many of my drunken frat brothers and their very patient wives!
  6. What crazy stuff we all do for clients!
  7. There was a Texas Pike I knew that was convicted of bank robbery - from inside the bank!
  8. I will never forget how wet, cold, and miserable I was at that Cotton Bowl game. Even worse on the drive back to Austin!
  9. All the feeders are set for 7 a.m. and 4 p.m. at my place.
  10. That Lakeview place was fun - Craig Gatewood, of early El Arroyo fame, was the main guy there. I don't think they had much choice about relocating. I think that LCRA wanted that dirt for their purposes.
  11. Def on the right track!
  12. Is Texas One involved with the Friday night party? (Was inviting some Texas One donors.)
  13. You beat me to it! Good job.
  14. Fire/Boom. It's not political, in fact, it is chemistry and science.
  15. Florida changed their building codes post-Andrew (1990-ish?). Lots more concrete and the increased ability to withstand sustained winds. Once destroyed, the older structures are not allowed to be rebuilt unless to new standards.
  16. Pretty sure that I45 is set up for one way evacuation lanes up until around Madisonville.
  17. Moral hazard is a subject not discussed much when the big damage numbers are thrown around that supposedly indicate that hurricanes are becoming more intense. Federal flood insurance programs and the state sponsored Citizens Insurance program, pricy as they may be, shift a lot of risk of the development of these areas from their owners to taxpayers.
  18. The Midway aircraft carrier was pretty damn cool the last time we were there. Very well restored. Definitely gives you a sense of what that Greatest Generation went through.
  19. Ditto on Science and Industry.
  20. Our kids loved the Navy Pier, street hot dogs, and riding the CTA from downtown to Wrigley. It's been 15 years since they were kids, so YMMV.
  21. Switch over to a TollTag and avoid the upcoming fiasco. https://www.ntta.org/get-a-tolltag
  22. And I have hit several Allsup's green chile burrito's this week, so all is not lost.
  23. I know that I am risking the little bit of cred that I have on Surly, but I'm in Midland in a trial this week and am busy and hungry. There is a Dickey's right next door to my hotel. Half pound of pork burnt ends, along with beans and slaw to go with my cheap bourbon out of a hotel paper cup. Not bad at all. Living the dream!
