  1. Fantastic book but I wish someone else was doing the movie. Sheridan is becoming the Tyler Perry of this genre.

    I am related to Cynthia Ann Parker and hence, the white side of Quanah Parker. Eager to see how the movie goes. The Comanche were fascinating and the greatest horse cavalry the world ever saw. Chased the Apache out of Texas and nearly pushed the frontier back to the Gulf.

    How can you be related to her but not her son?
  2. I don’t know where they nest, but Bald Eagles are seen around Houston all the time.  At least one loves the 8th hole at HCC and is seen quite often.    

    Had some est near my house in Bastrop. Damn thing looked like something kids would make for a tree fort, huge branches and sticks.
  3. There were a few (79 grad) Animal House and Saturday Night Fever come to mind as cultural icons, but really not teen movies. A few lesser recognized but impactful would be Over The Edge, Breaking Away, or hell even Meatballs. If you’re talking defining a generation then maybe Up in Smoke! Years later but Linklater hit the generation squarely on the head with Dazed.

  4. As a Republican I say fuck Trump with a giant cactus. That douche has crippled the party for at least 2-3 election cycles. Vivek , Haley and Tim Scott may all have been viable candidates to beat a very weak Joe, but who knows what they really believe as they all have to deal with the backwash of Trump and MAGA 24/7. Even after the Don gets another epic public beatdown, we’re still screwed for the foreseeable.

  5. Bright, non-dimmable bathroom lights. 
     
    When im a guest at hotel or other peoples houses…taking a piss at 3am is like walking straight into the core of the sun. 

    At the hotel just piss in the dark and hope for the best. And always leave a tip for whoever has to clean that bathroom floor.

  6. Cops don't ask for insurance cards anymore. They can look it up on their system.

    Wanna bet? I know it’s on their computer in their car and the dispatcher tells them I have it, but they still ask you for it and can write you up if you don’t have proof of something they already know you have. Ask my wife how she knows. I have a screenshot on my phone and old school paper in the console. Still gotta show it for inspections, at least for one more year.

    You’ve got a nice house compadre… You really have ADT or just the sign? I picked up 4 at a garage sale for 50 cents apiece and stuck them around the joint. Figured it might keep an honest thief away, but no way I’m actually paying 60 bucks a month for that BS.

  8. Someone explain Optimized Battery Charging to me. If my phone’s on 20% at 11am I can fully charge it in an hour, but if it’s on 60 and I plug it in when I go to bed it says it’ll be finished charging in like 7 hours. What’s up with that?

  9. What's the fascination with rooftop tents (on your SUV / truck)?

    Do people think critters are going to attack them if the tent is on the ground? I get the thing about living in Central Texas & it can be a hassle setting a stake in Caliche or Limestone, however this is a national trend here.

    Nice ones are over a grand and it sucks if you need to go somewhere after you’ve set up camp and have to take it back down.

    I’m taking perfect stick over rock any day. Ad a weapon if they throw the rock and don’t do major damage they’re defenseless and you now have their rock, and if they try and beat you with it the distance advantage goes to stick. If they don’t mean as a weapon a rock’s heavy, and a walking stick is handy.
