  1. Yeah, that whole shit in May when him and the AG told cities they couldn't have localized orders more stringent then his. Thanks, Hot Wheels, yall f'ed up. Lot of backwheeling going on now.
  2. I guess since the #1 recommendation is stay home unless necessary.. why would anyone need to worry about going to those states anyways? Seems like a very limited number of cases.
  3. Define happen. I think we'll see a couple of games, Covid break out, no more games. We're already have infections in summer practice, that's just going to spread during close contact practice for the fall.
  4. That lawsuit will be dismissed so quickly at the SOCTX level, the contract has a pandemic clause. We gots pandemic. Grandstand made.
  5. Or did they do a lot of entry today for stuff that happened over the holiday weekend?
  6. You know, I sometimes don't think much about my employer, with it's yankee owners, but they have been Amazing through all this. We were sent home about spring break in March and while I can go into the office to do stuff, they have never once asked me to or required me to. I can work from my house and they have no problems. My boss initiated daily calls with his staff, which I think sometimes are a bit much and tedious, but I am quite happy that I have not had to leave my house and drive to the cesspool that is currently Hays County. And they've said that they are taking their sweet time in bringing us back, they are in no hurry, and I think my boss and his boss might let us telecommute 80% of the time for the rest of our lives.
  7. I'm trying to prepare local folks that Wurstfest will be cancelled. Of course, it's after the election, so they currently believe everything will be resolved by then.
  8. That's gonna be a no from me, dawg. Abbott needs to be bopped in the head, but resign and make Danny Goeb governor? Come on, man. I don't know of anyone that wants that to happen. Danny as our public face would be a shit show of comical proportions, at least Abbott talks smart.
  9. What scares me most is that people that I would presume have an LTC, don't know the law. That's - bad bad.
  10. Ha, it's all relative I guess. This board is very left leaning whether it be CR or DT. I stopped reading the OSU board because of how much of a Trumpkin echo chamber it was, but even they are mostly taking this seriously. These full blown anti-mask mouth breathers are on a whole different level. You should try sec rant political - yeah, wow.
  11. Talked to a friend of mine that works for a fairly powerful legislator (depending on if he's pissed off the top 3 in the session or not) and asked him to fix the state. He said on it - and sent me a moveon for Greggy to be impeached. Greg is wounded. But I don't see anyone primarying the sitting Texas governor, that would be the ultimate power move. And if that person ends up being Goeb, holey crap, what does that say about the rest of us?
  12. I guess since there were only 5000 fans in attendance it wasn't restricted airspace, or the plane wasn't close to the stadium.
  13. They'll surrender in the end, just like their grandpappies.
  14. The Spirit of Surrender statue was removed from Sam Houston Park.
  15. Yup. It's not Columbus they are mad at. It's "Columbus" and everything that came after that they are mad at. Defend him all you want, that won't change the feelings because it's the after that is not great.
  16. Thanks. I'm still looking for the sources that Dr. Baum references (actually reading one right now). That article is a great summary but doesn't have quite enough meat.
  17. Yep. They were warned this would happen. The sensible thing would be to put it in a building where it can be defended much easier. Leave it out in the open, and you risk it being destroyed, dragged behind a car, dropped in a lake, etc. Alas, people are so dug in that they can't even think straight. It's like the freaking trashy Alamo Cenotaph "I'll be damned if it moves 1 inch". To be on the defense, you have to be alert 100% of the time. To be on the offense, you just have to find 1 chink in the armor - like in the summer when all the classes are remote and most staff is still teleworking so there it literally not a soul on campus at night except for a handful. I was told Yesterday, after suggesting maybe moving it somewhere safe so it doesn't get destroyed, that "oh, there will be more of us than them, so we'll win that battle". Dumbass. Matthew Gaines I would like more information on his ties to Texas A&M. I've read the legislative record for the 12th legislature, and I know he voted for the bill that created A&M, I would like more information (that may not exist) of how involved he was, or is he being used somewhat as a 'token'. They said it would need 350k, it's raised 200k (I asked the A&M Foundation the other day). Once I get the more information, then I'll either back off of the Gaines idea or charge forward. I'm not currently sure how to get that info.
  18. Yeah. And my wife and I are requesting absentee ballots because of that.
  19. I agree. We need to get rid of it altogether. I just don't think that's gonna go the way he wants.
  20. My thoughts always come down to: If there are problems with mail in voting, then let's either: A) Get rid of it altogether. B) Fix those issues and expand it to everyone. At this point, I really don't care which way we go, but to argue that mail in voting is bad (as some now do) but then allow it to continue for military, handicapped, long term travellers, and the elderly, is insane. It's either good or bad, you can't have it be both ways. I have a feeling getting rid of the elderly and military voting by mail may take away a handful of red votes, so I can see why they aren't for getting rid of it. But the cognitive dissonance is glaring.
  21. The pace car was the other thousand of people. This thing was well run, I was amazed. Their map had you come in 812 from 130, through Lot A, Tunnel1, through garages onto pit road and track and exit at the last turn, behind the garages, out through Tunnel 2. I like to go 21 and in 812 and thankfully they let us in that way. They also let traffic on the Blvd coming in from the other way go into A. Once in A, you circled around a couple of times, then met up with the other line and went through the tunnel and then they directed people to lines for the garages. 1 car per garage to do contactless dropoff of canned goods/cash, if you wanted (my old fat ass wasn't getting out of the rental so I just gave online instead). Then they would direct the cars onto pit road and onto the track, 2 lines through to Turn 11. Our first lap, it was pretty bumper to bumper to 11. Then we got some room and went single file and I could play with the gas. That was a f'in hoot. Took a break at the gas station, came back and did lap 2. That time, it was empty all the way to 11, then double lined back from there to the end. So gas time on the first half and just a little on the second. I got up to ~65 a couple of times. As much shit as I talk about COTA, this was so well run. They had plenty of people, they had thought out how to get people circulated around and onto the track. They had thought about getting you out of there afterwards. Whatever they did today, they need to keep doing. There was a TON of people there, so the slow lines on track were to be expected, plus they already told you 20mph ahead of time, but even with all those people we kept flowing fairly good. Only "incident" we saw were two broken down cars about 2/3 up the hill. 1 was an late 60s muscle car being loaded onto the flatbed, other I think was a 240SX being looked at under the hood. Oh, and so far they have raised $173,000 for Centra Texas Food Bank. https://help-prepare-families.everydayhero.com/us/cota
  22. Anyone else going today? I told wife about it, she jumped on that thing. I have a cousin that works for Enterprise and her Friends & Family deal brought a mustang convertible down from $240/day to $45/day. So the plan is for me to drive a lap, then the wife, then if there is more time a few more each.
  23. Wonder if Lisa is gonna do her traditional pop stuff or her childrens stuff.
