Highs of 30 are kind of like highs of 80. Wtf, you ask? It depends on if it is cooling off or warming up.
In Austin, the first 80 degree weather in the fall is when cool, dry air arrives from the north. When it warms up to 80 in January, it often means muggy air is moving in from the coast.
The same (kinda) happens up north with 30 degree weather. The first 30 degree days mean nasty cold fronts, but when it warms up to 30 degrees after a really cold spell, it means clear skies and warm, dry air from the southwest. If it’s sunny and not windy, I’m comfortable in short sleeves.

Stop misusing the word myself, and I might tune in.

Arya on Game of Thrones got the shit beat out of her - repeatedly, right in the face - with a big stick and never even lost a tooth. Knocked backwards on stone floors countless times and never got as much as a concussion. Tough little gal.

But they need money. Badly.

The San Antonio location is still there, I think.
Another campus area restaurant we used to go to for a late night drunken CFS was the Lazy Daisy.
Unless I missed it, no one has mentioned Mad Dog and Beans. The name Mad Dog was later co-opted and corrupted. Thanks, Mack.

When I was a kid, we used to stop by The Barn restaurant in Huron, SD. There was a carhop there named Cheryl Stoppelmoor who became Cheryl Ladd. I was too young to appreciate her level of talent, but my dad always claimed he remembered. This photo was after they expanded and did away with the carhops.

My first job was at the GW Jr’s on Southcross Blvd near Goliad Rd in SA. Pretty tasty bacon cheeseburgers and footlong chili dogs, if I say so myself. They were owned by Church’s Fried Chicken and went away after about 5 years when CFC declared bankruptcy circa 1980.

That's why i refuse to give them money when they call. I'd rather give to an organization that needs it.
Grinnell College (IA) called. They only have $1,800,000,000 to cover 1,700 students.

Didn't see another San Antonio thread.
Taking my 9 yr old daughter on an extended weekend this week. Last minute trip and something different as I have never been to SA either. Only plan I have so far is
Alamo/Riverwalk
Schlitterbahn on Monday
Looking for food, Tex Mex obvi, but she's an adventurous eater and will try anything. It doesn't have to be kid oriented, but I'm not taking her to high end steak house. Is there a farmers market worth checking out? Best tamales or local specialty? Anything that will be a memorable/unique experience for a little girl?
Bi-lingual family, her first language is Spanish if that helps get her somewhere cool. We are both blonde haired blue eyed aryans, but mama is the Latina. She's dying to go to Mexico, but I'm not taking her to Laredo.

Riverwalk - ride the boats. Its hokey, but I promise she'll never forget it. Maybe eat at some place on the river like Casa Rio.
Good Lord, don’t send Dertyberd or anyone else to Casa Rio.
We moved to SA in 1974, and we made the mistake of eating at Casa Rio. I thought I didn’t like Mexican food after that crap.
In 2017, I took the family to SA, and we ended up on the Riverwalk for supper. We were having a hard time deciding because one person became a vegan just in time for the trip, but she said that she saw one menu that had more than one option for her. You guessed it, Casa Rio.
I gave in thinking it had to have improved in 43 years, but nope, same crap. I could find better Mexican food in any town in the Midwest than Casa Rio.

Not my first time. I am eagerly awaiting the ticket pack. Is my first time to add the OU tickets. My boys are old enough now to appreciate the hate and to be able to hang.
FYI, if the OU tickets aren’t included with your regular tickets, it’s time to panic because you aren’t getting them.

I dunno, I think it might be scarier to be a kidnapped tourist in a faraway land where they partially amputate some of your limbs, rip out an eyeball, rape with a electric prod, sandpaper your skin and then pour on alcohol, sew you and your companions together mouth to butt into the human centipede, then smother in fire ants and leave you to slowly await the days later relief of death. JMO.
Well, there is that.

Me either and autographs are really stupid.
What is the point?
I don’t know, maybe that Mark McGrath autograph will be worth something besides street cred someday.

I’ve written on here and Shaggy that the easiest way to remind your kids that you’re a dumbass is giving them a name that they’ll have to spell to others every fucking day of their lives.

I can’t help but to notice that animated people also spend their days with their noses in their smartphones.

Never understood the hero worshipping of athletes and actors. Essentially, they are both playing parts. Witnessing them being themselves is usually a huge disappointment.

Amazing how things like cartoons have affected the culture. Also amazing that a Looney Tunes cartoon would make reference to a relatively obscure biblical character in that fashion.
I don’t remember no Elmer Fudd in my Sunday school lessons.

Any player who does not claim his current conditioning program is more challenging than anything he has experienced is asking for trouble from his current s&c coach.

Our location won a sales contest the summer of ‘77. We stayed open later than we were supposed to ensure the win that earned us each a $50 Best Products gift certicate. Mine went to buying a set of headphones I had been eyeing. Good times.
