  1. But what will they do when the sun goes out?
  2. Watched this last night. Wow. Didn't know the story going in and was blown away.
  3. Check the City map - 90% of the ranch is in the city limits and in Fitlumps district. It was annexed when the family agreed to have it zoned as part of a development agreement a few years ago.
  4. You are correct on council not having any clue on how they impact housing costs, but wrong on developers being in bed with them. As one, I can tell you that developers and builders in the area do everything we can to try to get the city not to raise fees, etc. as these just get passed on to the home price. Raising the parkland fee because real estate prices are going up? The fees are used to improve existing parks, not buy new ones. Bond money is used to buy new parks.
  5. A good portion is in the city limits. ETJ property doesn't have zoning.
  6. Prayers sent to you. And the fact that you are crying about it means you ARE a man. Don't hide your fears from your wife - talk to her. Mine was my rock for me when my dad was fighting it years ago. Love to your family during this time and God bless.
  7. Texas Bama Michigan Utah Texas beats Bama twice this season.
  8. Can we give some money back to those that paid off their student loans...even if 20 years ago? Completely agree the interest should be fully tax deductible and am surprised to learn it isn't.
  9. Good size fire on 165 between Dripping and Blanco. Homes being evacuated. Dripping Springs is prohibiting all outdoor watering to help with supply to fight the fire. Saw another good size fire east of SH 130/Austin area a couple of hours ago, but not seeing any news reports of it.
  10. 3 different times over the past couple of months I've seen "above normal" precipitation projection outlooks on the Austin news. And nada.
  11. I know people that live paycheck to paycheck. They eat out several times a week, go to starbucks every morning, spend on frivolous things, etc. Paycheck to paycheck to cover basic needs is one thing. Not reducing expenditures that can easily be reduced is another.
  12. Parkway Tavern, Dooky Chase, or Willie Mae's are all off I-10. Opposite side from the Quarter.
  13. Saw the video last night. The shooter stood in the hallway and it looked like he shot into the door and then kicked the door open to us. Which would mean the door was not locked when he was in there and no one needed to find a key to open the door. Just a bunch of fucking cowards that should all be tried as accessories for doing absolutely nothing.
  14. They finished #2 in baseball in 1989 in some polls. Even though they didn't make the CWS.
  15. This is the one thing that I'm not getting, and I'm thinking may not be accurate. How can teachers protect their classrooms if they can't lock the doors? We have a few friends that teach or are in administration in Austin area schools and they say the teachers lock the doors from the inside.
  16. And that team went 2 and out in a regional they hosted if I recall, while Texas finished 2nd in Omaha.
  17. Will be there next weekend. Any good spots to catch the championship games of the CWS?
  18. Do away with parties. No D, no R. Just names. People might actually pay attention to what a candidate says.
  19. Maybe this has already been discussed, but can the President not issue an executive order immediately banning the sale of AR's? Or at least stopping the sale of them for some period of time so Congress can maybe think about doing something?
  20. That would be because he is one.
  21. Maybe I missed the little hamburger spot on the Drag that's been there for a few years or so...OT Special FTW.
  22. Thank goodness. Hopefully they will keep the 24-hour test requirement when flying back into the country as well, since I'm going to Isla in a month. But they sure better not change the requirement of not testing anyone that walks across the border. That would be ridiculous.
  23. The tagline is wrong. It's not 2.5 hour flights, it's flights to places that can be reached by a bus or train in 2.5 hours. So more like a 45 minute or so flight, such as Austin to Houston.
