Went to Toro Kitchen and Bar this past summer. It was walking distance from my hotel. Absolutely phenomenal. Tapas and paella were killer, the flamenco band was about as good as the Gypsy Kings. Can't recommend that place enough. Went to the one on Commerce, close to downtown. Pulpo in olive oil and roasted garlic, and their mini carpaccios are some of the best things I've ever ate.

* Bowl depicted not actual size. Actual size bowl will be the Grand Canyon.
I wonder if HEB has enough Rotel, provided it's open?

I've been looking at building RV Parks as well. Especially on the outskirts of big cities for possible long term rentals. A lot of commercial construction guys will live in an RV and pocket a substantial amount of their daily per diem. I already have all of the utility guys and concrete contractors to get it done.

I've got 6 acres, in our neighborhood, that is not in the HOA. I can build almost anything on it. My mother and I purchased it, with the idea of building an assisted living facility, but it is on septic instead of sewer. I am about to build a large storage/work shop on the property, and later this year, probably a home for my Mom, but I will have at least 4 acres to do something else. I'm going to keep working in Real Estate, but I have been trying to figure out what to do with the extra acreage. So far, I have looked at growing gourmet mushrooms, or gourmet garlic. I'm always open to others idea's and willing to invest and have investors on any way to use it.

I looked into a prairie dog hunt last year. Most of the prairie dog towns have been leased by outfitters, and are a hot commodity. Rates run from about $450 per day without food and lodging, up to about $3200 for a group of 6-8 with food and lodging. It ain't cheap.

Countryisms

My granddad, same as the one above, used to have a rock in his pocket and would ask you to kiss it for good luck, then tell you he used it to push in his "piles". Of course, none of us knew what piles were until we asked.

Also of note, it sounds like Daniel Young is going to get some reps at LB. This makes a lot of sense. He won't get any playing time at RB and he has the frame to play LB.
Does that mean Whittington is staying at running back? Young would be going from a thin position to another thin position. One would think that one of the big safeties with the frame to put on 20 lbs. would be a better option. I still think Tyler Owens would absolutely kill it there.

Countryisms

My son's are 10 and 6 and I coach and scout them, so I'm around a lot of kids. I've got most of them saying yes sir and yes coach, but my pet peeve is when I address them, and they instinctively look up and say "what?" without thinking. I've been telling them "listen here, I'll never ask you a question that the answer is: what." Sometimes I'll follow up with "unless I ask you to name a unit of power". (Watt).
Help me make these knuckleheads feel stupid.
If you asked my granddad "what?" he would ask you if you thought you were a GD light bulb.

I have Jacob de Cordova's hand written ledger of his land speculation contracts in my air conditioned gun safe. They occurred between 1845 and 1861. I have been torn between keeping it myself, or donating it to The Fort Worth Museum of Science and History. Other than that, I have my Dad's 1961 Browning Superposed with the round pommel, and my wedding ring, that has been in Mrs. CHIEF's family since it was made in Germany in 1803. We also have formal china, her great-great grandparents brought it over, by boat, in the 1880's.

Headed to NO with the wife for a sales conference, so I'll get to stumble around during the day, while she is in meetings. One of our former tailgate members was from NO, and when we went with him, it was all old school. Pascal Manale's for oysters, bbq shrimp, and turtle soup, then off to Galatoire's. His brother was a waiter there, so we would sit in his section.

Growing up, we had about 1/4 mile of Brazos River frontage above Lake Whitney. My Dad always kept a trotline out. We had a small 8 foot jonboat, and I remember him catching one so big, that he had to get in the water with it, rope the tail, and handed me the rope. When we pulled it in, it was as long as the boat, I estimate that that gar weighed right around 200 lbs. Biggest freshwater fish I have ever seen in person to this day.

Why do you hate Texan writers?
Because if they are Texans, they do not live in New York. Are they the only one right, and everyone else is wrong? Don't hate Texan writers, just do not care to read articles written by Texans about a COL comparison from 1700 miles away. I say that as a 25 year Texas Monthly subscriber.
