  1. According to the interviews with victims and former prosecutors in both New York and Florida, Epstein was lining up 2-4 "massages" per day, on a daily basis.  This has been documented back to 2000, so almost 20 years.  That's just the time period he was under investigation.  It's not like he just woke up at 47 and decided to be a pederast.  The potential number of victims is staggering.  He's like the Wilt Chamberlain of child rapists.

  2. As if we need further proof that Wallace Hall was a dick.  How did such a worthless douche get to be a regent?  Aggy Manchurian candidate appointed by Rick Perry.

  3. I have friends that grew up with Bonnen.  They describe him as very conservative.  He strikes me as a real conservative--not the grandstanding,showboating demagoguery that we get with Danny Goeb and to a lesser extent, Wheels.  Bonnen also has a backbone, is brash, and doesn't back down from a fight.  He might be exactly what we need to stand up to these faux conservative rabble-rousers like Empower Texas and Jonathan Stickland. Maybe if other traditional conservatives see somebody in power standing up to these poseurs, they will get some testicular fortitude as well.

  4. If you want a house instead of resort, there are some new construction one bedroom condos on Sapodilla Bay and Chalk Sound.  They each have a private plunge pool and are perfect for a couple looking for privacy.

  5. Helberg's catered an event for us recently in Waco.  I was excited  to try it after the Texas Monthly article.  The dinner was scheduled for 7pm and they had already run out of food at 6:45.  It took them an hour to get more food brought in, and they doled out 1 slice of brisket and one slice of sausage per plate--guess they were scared of running out again.  Brisket was good, sausage was bad.  Beans had no seasoning.  They had a cold corn salad that was good.  How do you run out of food for a catering gig when you know the head count in advance?  This was for 125-150 people, not a large catering job.  I will try their food truck to see if it is any better.  If their catered Q that I ate is what it takes to get in Texas Monthly as one of the best new BBQ joints, then I belong on the damned cover.

  6. I fly the San Jacinto Flag on April 21.  My copy is very thin, almost like silk. It's OK to fly outside one day a year, but if anybody knows of a thicker version, please let me know. We also fly the Alamo flag during the siege, and the Gonzales flag on October 2. The neighbors always think we are flying the Mexican flag in late Feb-early March.

    I have a Crepe Myrtle and a Vitex (Chaste) tree planted in front of my house. 

    Both trees have gotten too tall for where they are planted close to the house. Wife wants me to trim them shorter. 

    I know a lot of folks top their Crepe Myrtles, but I also read a lot of spots online that recommend against the practice.

    (I don't know if the Vitex can be topped like a CM). 

    Am I best off removing them completely and replacing with shorter varieties, or is it "ok" to top them off at the height I want? 

    The tag on our Vitex recommended pruning each year to keep the foliage manageable.  We have had ours over 3 years now and prune them back each year in the fall/winter.  You also need to keep cutting the blooms off if you want them to continue producing new blooms through the summer.

  8. Is there a way to cook chicken strips (fresh not frozen) in an air fryer that tastes good?  I did some dipped in buttermilk, then breaded in flour and panko bread crumbs.  I sprayed them with olive oil and cooking spray and cooked for 12 minutes.  I've never eaten shake and bake chicken, but I'm guessing that is how it tastes.  Am I better off sticking with Crisco and a frying pan?

  9. Get your son a few of the Ian Fleming books to read. They may be dated, but they really establish Bond as a character. I enjoyed the silly humor of Roger Moore's Bond as a kid, but after reading the books, I saw that Sean Connery was the Bond that Fleming wrote (same case could be made for Daniel Craig)

  10. Lots of good recs in here.  We went last summer, family trip.  We did a house on Sapodilla Bay, which was great.  Las Brisas is great restaurant in that area.  Also loved Coco Bistro and Da Conch Shack.  Only thing that seemed touristy about the Thursday Fish Fry was hawking cheap t-shirts, the food there was good (well follow the long lines for the best food). We also did a fishing trip with Panoply. It was pricey, but hell, everything in T&C is pricey!  We didn't have a bad meal there and every place was kid-friendly.  We look forward to going back and visiting some of the other islands like Middle Caicos and Pine Cay.
