    Have a place south of Luling and see those blades crossing the tracks most every Sunday on our way back to Austin.  Never seen one making the turn from 183.  They usually take Hwy 80 from I-10 and have a straight shot across the tracks.

    I'm not concerned with 150 illegals spreading covid.  I'm concerned with the 10 million+ Texans who aren't vaccinated, and the thousands of people who drive into and out of Austin everyday from outlying areas with low vaccination rates to shop and do whatever, and the tens of thousands who pass through the Austin area every day going north or south.

     

    I don't disagree with you.  But I do have a problem that if someone flies to Mexico they have to have a negative test to come back, or get quarantined for 14 days if positive, while there is zero testing for those entering the country at border crossings.

    Seems legit, though the Apple gift card for the $150 fee makes me a little suspicious.  And a $15,000,000 ATM card seems odd.

    That’s a problem. But more importantly we need to rush to stop using fossil fuels as a source of energy. That will be even less popular on a Texas board. But we needed to get on that decades ago. Fuck Reagan for taking Carter’s solar panels off of the White House. Fuck George H.W. Bush for forging a partnership with the Saudis to replace Iran as our energy partner in the Middle East after the Iranian revolution. And fuck everyone who ignored the science over the past 30+ years for the sake of profit starting with Exxon. They are to the global warming denial machine what CO2 is to greenhouse gases. Wtf do I care if someone in the O&G industry goes broke while someone in the green, renewable energy industry gets rich? The world would be better off in the latter case.

    What about natural gas?  Plenty of it, and significantly reduced emissions.

    Yep, let's just keep teaching Texas kids that the Texas Revolution was just and fair.   About keeping all men, except slaves, free.

    The Texas Revolution had very little, if anything, to do with slavery.  It had everything to do with the tyranny of Santa Anna.

  6. This fucking sucks.  Saw them many times, most recently on their 50th anniversary tour at COTA two years ago.  Was planning to see them in Vegas later this year.

    This is the shit that drives me nuts.  What fucking difference is this mask making?  Not a bit.

    Nice chinstrap, motherfucker.  At a fucking baseball game of all places...

    Good to see that everyone else in that picture has been vaccinated...

    I’m not advocating one way or another, but I would imagine mandating that only unvaccinated wear masks isn’t going to do shit, because the unvaccinated aren’t going to do it voluntarily and who is going to check status?  It’s either all or none.  Unvaccinated people aren’t wearing masks unless they are forced to, and the only realistic way to accomplish that is to make it a requirement for everyone.

    Pretty much anywhere the wife and I go there are signs that masks are optional for vaccinated people (we both have ours), but required for unvaccinated.  I find it amazing that apparently EVERYBODY at the businesses, stores, restaurants, etc. that we've been to the last few weeks are vaccinated.

    I thought you claimed to live in San Antonio, even though you prefer grocery shopping at Wal mart to HEB. 
     

    Also if you wanna hear a bunch of N bombs just head on over to midland/Odessa or along the Texas gulf coast. Trump flags and N bombs galore I tells ya. 

    I'm thinking this is a reflection of who you are spending time with/around.  I have family in Midland and have spent a lot of time there over the years and never heard it.  And as for the coast, multiple trips a year to Port Aransas for the last 30+ years and never hear the word.

    There are millions of them. They are almost all poor, to very poor. You dont know them, because you live in an entirely different world (you should be grateful for that).

    And they don’t survive very well. But they manage. And they have the same right to vote that every other citizen has. We shouldn’t take it away from them.

    No doubt they have the right to vote.  But they need to prove who they are somehow, be it a voter ID, regular ID, something.  With the amount of money the government spends elsewhere ($1million a foot or whatever for the wall), a free ID to whomever needs one doesn't seem like a bad thing.

    Filed under: no fucking shit.

    Fox’s anti-“critical race theory” parents are also GOP activists

    TL:DR - fox has been presenting their own political operatives as "just normal parents" in all of their segments on CRT, in order to astroturf conservative grievances 

    Gonna go out on a limb here and say people in favor of CRT might also have some involvement on the Democrat side of things.  And they could still be normal parents.

    I have no idea if that’s true. I didn’t keep records about when gas prices went over $3 per gallon. Might’ve happened before Katrina. And Katrina can’t be blamed for gas prices going over $2 per gallon while daddy Bush was President.

    Gas didn't go above $2/gallon during Bush 1's term.  It was about halfway through W's term when it happened.  Probably something to do with a war, supply and demand, inflation, etc.

    Repped, but it’s actually the story of how a good character young man died based on a decision most of us have made without any thought of it possibly killing us. 

    Thankfully, someone PM’d me, because imagine how fucked my kids would have been if I ventured to the aggie or OU board.

    Curious of what the decision he made was - would appreciate a PM.

    Just watched Stowaway on Netflix.  Horrible this movie was.  It was so bad it made me consider cancelling Netflix.  Highly recommend not watching it.

    Thunder Force as well.

    Hearing that Ballyhoo closed down for a while during COVID then reopened in a new location and the food now sucks as they hired a new chef.  Not sure if anyone can confirm.  Dopi's on Hidalgo also closed.

    Hotel Secreto laid off the entire staff and now a skeleton crew is running the hotel.  It's mostly the owner and family.  It saddens me that Victor, Jose, Rodrigo, William and others are no longer there.  I here the service is still great but those guys were fantastic.

    Hate to hear that about Ballyhoo.  We hit the island around 1:30 on Wednesday and we're planning to stop there for a late lunch on our walk to Aluxes.

    Congratulations to the aggys. This is a monumental feat that I am sure every aggy looks at with extreme pride.

    Add (yet another) non-NCAA "championship" to the aggy Hall of Champions.

    With a Texas A&M men's swimmer finally breaking through and winning the first individual NCAA national championship in the history of the school's men's swim program, this year marks probably the greatest year in the history of aggy sports.

    A&M still has fewer individual NCAA champions than UTEP and fewer NCAA team championships than U of H.

    On the list of schools with more NCAA team championships in a single sport than Texas A&M school history (all sports, both genders) are such powerhouse programs at Okie Lite, West Virginia,and....

    ...wait for it...

    ...UT Austin.

    (I get UT, but how do West Virginia and Okie Lite have more NCAA championships in just one sport than A&M has in all sports combined since 1906?)

    The people of Texas deserve better than Texas A&M.

    Over 30 wresting championships at OK State will put them above a lot of schools total championships.

    I know this might sound crazy to you but there are a lot of people who don't own a car, buy property, have never been on a plane, and don't have a bank account. They're called poor.

    Needed for employment, renting a place as well.  Most people have a form of identification, poor or not.
