    There are multiple battery facilities getting built in Texas. There are two going through the approval process in Henderson County right now.

    Just curious, do you have to develop specialized firefighting plans in the event a battery barn catches fire?

    This is the Holidome experience I remember across multiple Holidomes in multiple states.

    We maybe going through that area this summer and if it’s there, we are stopping.

    The Pearl on the Concho in San Angelo is also an old Holidome.

    Awesome man, thank you again. I'm pretty sure I have that same reel as a back up 5wt. I really like it just fine. Drag is smooth, only beef is the increments of drag pressure kinda go from free spool to way to much drag with only a few clicks. My kiddo cranked it up a few too many and lost a nice trout on Sat. (my fault for not managing that more with instruction)

    Other tips, if you leave your ride and hike, don’t leave anything of value or really anything at all in sight in your car.  Look like you’re poor.

    Total newb here, but I was visiting my mother's place in Kyle and noticed a bunch of flakes on a hill on her property.  Found a few promising pieces on the surface, which look like they've been worked but certainly aren't the obvious symmetrically perfect arrowheads a lot of people are posting.

    Top one kind of looks like a scraper of some sort, even has a nice indentation for the thumb.  Left 2 have the best shape, but the other side of each isn't finished (see pic of reverse below).  Not sure about the other 3 but they seem to be roughly the right shape and look like they've been worked.  Maybe got some rejects they started or my imagination is seeing things in an otherwise completely natural rock.

    Anyway, if these are promising and are actually man made, what's the next step to find more?  I tried putting a shovel in the ground and hit rock almost immediately.

  5. Ugh.  Was sorting through some paperwork and found a letter from my old man, circa about 20 years ago.  Pops was an odd bird.  He did undergrad at Rice, grad work and taught at UT, went to UT Law, and then became a schoolteacher in a small town.  He was always an English teacher though.  This letter was in response to a gift I had given him. The part that always struck me was “in the brief everyday existence of life, a belief that just “being” is worthwhile and justifiable, but only if we make it so.”  

    RIP pops.  Hopefully you see me being “Pops” to my grandkid.  Someday I’ll tell him stories about you being the desegregation bus driver, getting rocks thrown at you while you smiled and said “everyone can use some education, whether they want it or not.  I’m just driving the bus.”

    Where the white (women) bass at?

    Buddy has never caught one and it's on his bucket list. I looked at Reimers after a bike ride today; and that isn't happening yet again.

    Narrows?
    Any tips?

    Go here if you can.  Not a bad hike.  The hiking dude is where you start/park, sandbar to NE is where to fish.

    That's really cool - it basically looks like a core rock and a bunch of stuff someone flaked off and worked on a little.  One of the coolest things I found on my property was similar - there was a core rock, a large piece of chert that probably came from Flint Knob a few miles away:

    https://www.texasbeyondhistory.net/plateaus/images/ap2.html

    Someone had broken off pieces, but left a bunch there with the core.  A few hard rains exposed it, and the core and all the pieces were just laying there, like whoever it was left them however many years ago.  I left it, marked it with a piece of rebar and gps.

    The article mentions Kid Rock's address. Guess what you see when you do a Google streetview of that address?  What a pussy!

    You can pay Google to block out the view of your house. Or maybe you can just request it, I'm not sure.  I have a friend who is a judge and he has the same thing.

     

    His house is canceled!!!

    Those women left their house or hotel, whatever the case may be, believing they looked good.  All that really tells me is that they have no friends, none at all.  

    Well no honest friends anyway.  Just guy friends with paper bags.

    Looks like something AI would create if you asked for "trashy nursing home whores".

    I read the other day that one could live quite comfortably in Bhutan for under $400 a month. Sounds like paradise.

    Yeah but you have to put up with giant dzongs.
