    Huh. The Castle Hills I know of is Military Highway just outside Loop 410.

    we used to go to a restaurant called mario's around that area.  just outside the loop.  great mexican food, superb service.  I'm thinking babcock exit, but it could have been fredericksburg.

  2. i like the title, purgatory unhinged.  this story could have legs.   we will get crichton to write the screenplay and soderbergh to direct.

    I judge Tex-mex on 4 things: fajitas, queso, salsa and margaritas.   They fail, miserably, on 3 out of 4 of those criteria.  If I a missing something, I am all ears.   

    you got two out of four right.  salsa and queso.  i would go with enchiladas and beans for the other two.

     but don't tell me the money couldn't be better spent on schools/teachers/infrastructure/first responders/beaches/parks/etc etc than drug addicts.  Think of it as a reward to those of us who decided not to use drugs, but to get jobs and pay taxes. 

    except that yours is the party that wants to cut budgets on schools/teachers/infrastructure/first responders/beaches/parks/etc.

    Going to Caprock and Palo Duro this summer. Hoping to find some good places to hike and hammock camp.

    Any good vacation ideas while we are out that way? Haven't really explored the panhandle, looking forward to it.

    I dont recall there being decent hiking at either park.  have you looked at the hiking maps on the tpwd website?

  6. I think it would be really cool if they would implement some of the mxc-style events. something to give it some fun, and maybe even a little comedy might help.  in a military obstacle course you have to crawl under a net, which survivor incorporates, you have to climb up a cargo net, which survivor incorporates, but you also have to get across a set of monkey bars, which survivor never incorporates.

  7. loved the two fights hbo aired saturday night.  sadam ali vs jaime munguia.  munguia is a young beast.  the first fight was azat hovhannisyan vs rey vargas.  Azat gave vargas more than he bargained for.  both were great fights.

    Don’t think the Hofbrau is gone, unless it shuttered like last week.  

    the place the two old brothers used to run?  I had no idea it was still there.  i may be thinking of a different place.

    I like what Garrison Brothers is trying to do and the tour was great. Really cool property in Hye. But I hate their pricing. I'm not paying $100 for a decent bourbon. For that price it better be exceptional. 

    Where do the hell do they get off? All of the Buffalo Trace Antique Collection bottles are $90. Pappy 10, 12, and 15 are all less than $100. 

    wut?  if you find pappy for less than $350 call me. 

    garrisons is priced too high.  i'll give you that.  it's great bourbon though, and something texas should be proud of.  i'll definitely buy a bottle of the balmorhea and estacado if I ever see it, even if it is $120/750 ml.  but I won't do it twice no matter how good it is. 

  10. maddie's?

    hudsons on the bend (haven't been since it became hudsons hillcountry)

    i used to like iguana grill because that lake view is top notch.  i heard it's a lucy's now, so still a maybe i guess.
