  1. Brick and Mortar is still 90%+ of retail in the US. It may be declining, but it's still the dominating path to market. Edit: Even in consumer electronics, which one would think is a very heavy eTail market compared to, for example, food and bev... Only 35% of sales is done online vs 65% in brick and mortar.
  2. $10 steak and lobster at the Yellow Rose.
  3. Yes I get that but the R vs L differences are consistent across the different 737 variants that I can tell - on the right side, you have one section of solid fuselage (one window missing) and on the left side, you have 2 sections of solid fuselage (2 windows missing). Why is that? I would think it would be symmetrical but it's not. Edit: Nevermind, it's not consistent across variants. I'm an idiot.
  4. Crown & Anchor reminds me of finals and senior projects. I have a hard time going back as a result.
  5. A couple buddies and I went out to Horseshoe Bay to play a round of golf and ate at Double Horn Brewery in Marble Falls beforehand. Holy moly was it good. I got the chicken fried steak and it was perfect - fairly thick (for a CFS), lightly breaded. Gravy was spot on. A couple of the pale ales to wash it down. Friend got the bison burger and he raved about it. We all got some fried pickles to start and they were pretty legit too - cut real thin, which I like. If you're ever out that way, skip Bluebonnet Cafe and go here instead. It's so much better.
  6. On the right side, the sections of solid fuselage are different from the left side. Why is that? Left - 2 sections, between W and E, and between E and S: Right - only 1 section, across the O (I assume this is different from your picture because they are different 737 variants):
  7. This is true for all fish except tuna. Tuna does not have to be frozen first. https://www.nytimes.com/2004/04/08/nyregion/sushi-fresh-from-the-deep-the-deep-freeze.html
  8. He's still a heavy UK lean from what I've read. Kind of crazy he would contemplate reclassifying to join UK's current crop of guards. Certainly doesn't fear competition I guess. Or something is amiss and he's not as strong of a UK lean as everyone is making it out to be.
  9. Are all 3 watch pillows included?
  10. Connecting how? DFW - AUS - LAX? Or connecting to the LHR flight on BA? Hard to believe AA would funnel passengers through Austin when Austin only connects to AA primary hubs (DFW, PHX, LAX, CLT, ORD, MIA, NYC, PHL) and LHR. And all of those hubs have a non stop to LHR already.
  11. Well look at the big brain on Brad. Nice one and a nice strap to boot.
  12. I'm in that camp too. God it hurts.
  13. Arguing your individual bullet points aside, I count 2 bullet points that actually talk about (or imply) a good W/L. 2 out of 9 "positives" actually mean something. I don't care who he recruits successfully or not. I care about wins. And three years into the experiment and the best our most (arguably) optimistic board member can come up with is 2 bullet points speaking to W/L success.
  14. He kept playing and brushed it off like it was nothing. Probably a chronic issue for him from his basketball days.
  15. If that's the case, it's conceivable we pass DAL this year given how strong the year has started for AUS.
  16. That wasn't just a roll - it popped out of place and he had to maneuver it back into place.
  17. His recent form has been very, very good. He knows that course as well as anyone alive. The strongest part of his game currently is irons + putter. You can get away with sub par drives at Augusta as long as you recover with your irons + putter by leaving yourself in the right spots around the greens. I think he has all the tools in the bag to pull that off currently.
  18. Another month, another record broken - busiest February on record and by a large amount (follows up the busiest January on record, also by a large margin). 2018 is shaping up to be a big uptick. Of note, British Airways was up 15% Y/Y. Delta up a whopping 26%. They are quickly closing in on United for the #3 busiest airline at ABIA. Interesting given all the chatter around making AUS a focus city. http://www.austintexas.gov/news/february-2018-passenger-cargo-traffic-austin-bergstrom
  19. People like the underdog in most sports. Not golf. I don't know of anyone that's thinking "wouldn't it be awesome if Ted Potter, Jr won a major" other than his mother. The Ted Potter's of the world can have the Valspar and the like but the major's are for the stars of the game.

  21. That is a very interesting tidbit, thanks for sharing. Will the source of the bids be disclosed before picking the winning bid? What's the time frame on selecting a bid?
  22. Ya that's not really a fair matchup... Two guys who are on top of their games vs a 58 yr old and a Belgian trying to get his game back.
  23. 76 at Bluebonnet from the "tips". +4 after 9, a bladed pitching wedge cost me a couple strokes. Finished even par 36 on the back nine with a birdie on 18 to close it out. Ya, it's just Bluebonnet but I care not - I'm damn pumped with a 76 anywhere. First time breaking 80 on a par 72 too. Also, work didn't catch me so that's a huge win.
  24. That's mine. I wish. Back to my regularly scheduled Master's pity party.
