  1. Why not both? Seriously, from a young age I always figured that the celibacy thing was a pragmatic rule that tacitly gave gay dudes a place in the church and still be celebate, just not in a heterosexual way. Of course, that has not worked out at all
  2. Im sure the engineers responsible for this minor setback will be given a stern warning and put back to work.
  3. I have a crew that I fish Yarborough with. Camp and kayak sort of thing. Starts getting busy Thursday afternoon. Most of us get down there on Wednesday and that is a hard place to get to. Back around 2008-2015, you could go on a Saturday and have the place to yourself with a little boat traffic.
  4. Louie's on the Lake (Austin) alum checking in. They closed in 1986 due to mismanagement and a bad Texas economy for pricey dining. All you can eat gourmet salad bar and seafood buffet which had king crab, snow crab, fried shrimp, fried frog legs, prime rib and a bunch of other stuff for $18.00 per person, which was a lot back then. Part of the poor management was not having a system of controls to limit food theft by the high school aged guys working the buffet line. Im not talking about pinching a shrimp or two or cutting off a sliver of prime rib and hiding it in the au jus. We flat out just took whatever we wanted. My folks loved it, their two boys helping out with some fancy eats and making a wage to boot. We always told them it was leftover stuff that was going to be thrown away. Sunday brunch was the best because we could dissappear a lot of champagne while working the line. I was the omlet guy most of the time and the 6 or 8 glasses of champagne would help me overcome my shyness and chat up the ladies while crafting their omlets. That's kind of where my problems with alcohol started.
  5. I would keep an eye on that set up and put a couple of pie plates down there just in case. The o rings are notorious for going bad or getting nics in them during tightening and it looks like there might be some wonky stresses due to angles.
  6. No corporate income tax is also a lie. Just because it's called the franchise tax, doesn't mean it's not a corporate income tax. 1986 Austin sucked. The whole state really. That period, economically, was way worse than the 2008 period (for Texas). Yeah, it was cheap, but nobody had any money and everything was just stagnant and old living off the glory of the 50s through 70s boom.
  7. Not so fast my friend. Correct presentation should be: 1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1+1=14 Yep. Checks out. Good to go.
  8. Abortion question for Texas: My brother has a 10 yo down syndrome daughter who is physically fully functional (even knows how to swim quite well), but alas is still not potty trained and seems like will never advance past her current grasp of things in language, communication, and behavior. Since she is getting to "that age", the discussion has come up as to how to deal with her not getting prego in a few years. Pretty much every form of birth control is out for some obvious reasons. She even has to be put under for routine teeth cleaning. So sterilization was also mentioned. The discussion also included some what if scenarios imcluding her actually getting pregnant, let's say at a very early teen age. Surly experts, run me down the options in Texas. My loose understanding of current Texas law leads me to believe that abortion would be out. I realize there are pills and what-not, but I am going to assume that in this scenario, it would be too late for that given the individual. Also assume a healthy normal fetus.
  9. I'm surprised thete is not more furor over this.
  10. Tortoise snek? Or snek hiding in Tortoise shell. Or sneck hiding in tortoise snek shell.
  11. Who would have thought that come November, we would pining for the simpler times of 2020 when all we had to deal with was an insurrection, some light treason, and a world wide pandemic.
  12. $140 million is like 35 cents to the DOD. Surprised he got more than some extra rations.
  13. I think you're the "fellow" in this instance.
  14. Plan on it. Both ways of course.
  15. Anyone done any road cycling in Vail area. Staying in Eagle Vail area. I can do the Vail Pass to Frisco, but that is a long day from Eagle Vail ?72 miles with elevation elevation above sea level for this flatlander). Im going to do it but that cant be a regular thing since I have duties when the kids wake up at 11am or so and want to just be able to ride the whole way without doing any driving. Any gravel stuff or extremely easy mountain bike stuff ( easy hardtail) close by in Eagle Vail/ Avon? Will bring both bikes. Thanks. I'll hang up and listen.
  16. Wasn't this the plot for the Prime series "Partiot"?
  17. Yeah, that was some ratfuckery, and risky too. Had he been found out, that might have swayed things back then.
  18. That fan film was really entertaining. I could easily see a movie or two coming out of filling in the blanks from LOTR and the Hobbit. I didn't see any Harfoots (Harfeet?) in the trailer. Most didn't like them in the first season since they seemed unnecessary and only a plot device for the Gandalf character. I however, was interested to see what they might do to connect them to the Shire since they are specifically mentioned by Tolkien in the LOTR preface "On Hobbits".
  19. He may have, but he certainly didn't need to. You had recession, high interest rates, gas shortages and escalating prices, a hostage crisis, a failed rescue attempt for hostages, and a failing US auto industry. Carter's measured and thoughtful nature did not play well and everybody forgot all about the Israel and Egypt peace accord and the SALT stuff. Reagan was a successful governor and had long been in the public eye as a candidate, not to mention being a much better speaker and debater than Carter. Dems lost the Senate in that election too along with a bunch of house seats, so it wasn't just Carter. All Reagan had to do was not make some huge gaff and talk about hope for the future and he would have still won in a cakewalk and that was with Anderson as a legit 3rd party guy siphoning off R votes. Carter had no chance ratfuckery or no.
  20. CSB: Back in 1983, my family was flying back to Austin from Miami and changed planes in Atlanta. I was 16. The Carter's were on the same flight in first class so we had to walk past them to get to our coach seats. No meet and greet on that flight since Jimmy was still traveling with his Secret Service goons, but Amy was checking out my twin brother as he passed by. Amy was pretty goofy looking as a child and somehow morphed into a Ron Howard look alike as an adult, but she looked pretty good that day as a mid teen, from what I recall, although I was more focused on Jimmy, and Rosalynn was smoking. Still, twin brother dodged a bullet. Once we got in the air, the crew made an announcement, and there was applause but that was about it. Godspeed Jimmy...oh what might have been.
  21. Entrance to PINS is under constant video surveillance. Probably one of the worst places to hide out. Met some real nutters down there though. But kind of a lot work to get down there and do criming. No guns for me.
  22. Looks like Marge got a face full of Johnson.
  23. Perhaps he has the long Covid. He had a pretty bad case of it back in the day. I remember because I was hoping he would die.
  24. And for those of you that got the vaccine and didn't think you needed it or didn’t get it all because you were in a low risk group, consider yourselves lucky, because that shit does not always work out. My best field employee, big, strong fit, young guy straight out of central casting almost died from this shit, was sidelined for months and is still not right in the head. Also, my twin brother's best friend died yesterday from covid complications (he was a recovering cancer patient). So this shit is still out there waiting for you to get feeble and vulnerable. So keep up with best practices. At this point, I'm looking into what I need to do since I haven't been stuck in a year and a half.
  25. Came from Austin, so Sunday was not bad at all except for my hangover. I really thought Sunday was going to get canceled and behaved accordingly on Saturday to my own detriment. I am really surprised Austin riders did not have a bunch of heat related issues on Saturday.
