  1. Wait, Huffines is a home builder. That's precisely who he's been paying for decades.
  2. Pitch counts thus far Madden - 105 Witt - 78 Stevens - 58 Hansen - 26 I'm assuming we roll with Hansen to start on Thursday. Nixon, Quintanilla, and Kubichek have yet to throw a pitch, so we have some bullpen depth.
  3. Maudie's Moonlight Margarita Run was a summer staple 5K for the longest time. It was virtual last year and this year, and it looks like that virtual window just closed yesterday. A lot of the more popular 5K Austin-area runs are either in spring or around September. I'd check out the following: Sunshine Run 8/29 CASA Superhero Run 9/12 (very popular one) Daisy 5K October TBD (also very popular)
  4. There are two schools of thought, and to be honest, I've tried it both ways. I've tried more quality work with less miles and more miles with less quality. For me, the biggest payoff was building a base with a high volume of miles over a three month period. It's like building a performance racing car - you want to build as big of an engine as you can and then figure out how to fine tune it. You just want to make sure your body can handle a heavy workload; otherwise, you risk injury. And you also want to make sure there are recovery paces built in a couple times a week. That said, there are some people who swear by fewer miles but doing more quality work. My belief is that a lot of these people are mixing in cross training. Whatever you do, as you build up your workload, make sure you're rolling out after long runs, mix in a strength regimen, and get lots of sleep and stay hydrated. I don't know what your current running schedule / volume is like these days, but I can't stress enough that you want to do all of the extra things required to stay injury free. In terms of Boston qualifying, also keep in mind that you'll need a time below your qualifying standard. So while it says 3:10, you really needed close to a 3:02 for the 2021 race. I anticipate it will be closer to normal next year, but you'll still need to run probably closer to a 3:06 to feel confident about getting in.
  5. Well done, Clintonaldo! The Austin half is a tough course, and the late April date made for some challenging conditions. Plus, I think everyone returning to real racing is still trying to get adjusted to it after an extended layoff. I managed to get into Boston with a time from December 2019. The cutoff was almost 8 minutes under your qualifying time, and I had just over 8 minutes to work with, so I barely made the cutoff. Ran a half up in Amarillo last weekend in 1:20. I trained for a 1:18, but I backed off that time because it was a warm and windy day. Feel encouraged with that result.
  6. Guess Bohls forgot Hossler was also a Horn.
  7. Nope. Made the finals a handful of times under Barnes.
  8. Was wondering what was going on. There are only three guys out there under par today.
  9. Repeal the Trump tax cuts. Your $1.9 trillion issue is solved and then some.
  10. And earlier this year, I think he briefly held the '86 Fleer Jordan record until it was demolished. Think he was in about $80K total on two Jordan PSA 10s that subsequently both sold for well north of $100K. He has a third. And yeah, his collection his ridiculous.
  11. The most popular grading service these days is PSA. There is an insanely long turnaround time because of the resurgent value and popularity of cards. But given the value of that card, you'll submit it with Express service (15 day turnaround, $2,499 max declared value) or Super Express (2 business days, $4,999 max value). If you're not comfortable submitting a card of that value yourself, there are people that will walk it through the grading process for you. You typically need to have an established relationship with them, and it's more common for large submissions. All that said, you have the king of all cards right now, so you can probably find someone who will process just that card for you.
  12. Closed out the virtual racing year with a 1:18:34 half. Held steady at pretty much 6:00 even throughout. Favorable training leading up to it, and it was a favorable day weather wise on a pretty flat looped course. No idea what 2021 has in store but am optimistic I’ll be able to finally register for my first Boston using a December ‘19 time.
  13. The vast majority of affordable housing is delivered via the market either as naturally occurring affordable housing or private equity in the form of tax credits.
  14. Almost everything you've posted has been embarrassingly wrong. Why stop this morning I guess?
  15. What's on the wish list for '22 and '23? Godspeed for a quick and full recovery.
  16. From the capitol inside link above ... Is it though, is it? There's a direct correlation between the staunchness of one's Christianity and their propensity for scandalous behavior.
  17. Yeah, I've talked to the Decker race director, and he's offered a reasonable plan to city / county officials - no indoor use of the expo center, rolling start in waves (people stay in their cars until their wave), very limited on course hydration, etc. And they are still uncomfortable about moving forward with necessary approvals. Decker is 1/10th the size of 3M, so there's almost zero chance 3M happens.
  18. As of now, the Bryan - College Station half and full are still a go for mid-December. I know, I know, it's not an ideal location, but it might be the only opportunity to run a certified course in close proximity this marathon season. I'm registered for the half.
  19. Waterloo Terrace and Laurel Creek are 100% affordable. Elysium Grand is a combo of affordable and market rate.
  20. Adler lives in the W. He's surrounded by towers. As for the other question, there are scant examples of those types of rental properties. It's usually the inverse - mostly market rate units with a small percentage of income-restricted units. And it's incorrect to tag them as "subsidized" without knowing the exact financing mechanism that was employed to build them. There are a myriad of them, the most common being a tax credit which is basically private investment in exchange for a dollar for dollar credit against a corporation's federal tax liability.
  21. If you're suggesting that the City Clerk count every single signature, that never happens. For petitions, clerks do a statistically valid sample and then extrapolate the results based on the sample.
  22. My daughter is three, and this is what I'm trying to teach her already.
