  1. Film Appreciation 101 told me that watching a dubbed movie is a no go. (Something about vocal inflection and nuance.) Of course that class also said that The Magnificent Ambersons was the greatest movie ever so the prof was obviously confused.

  2. Firstly, I am a healthy middle age white guy with no underlying medical issues. And I certainly understand the severity of the situation.

     

    But since this mess started I’ve been to New York, Paris, Milan and Madrid. (Work, and was very tempted to hug one of those cute Chinese girls the Milan mayor wanted everyone to hug.)

     

    Been on a week long cruise, (family reunion so I was forced to go. Ended the day they were basically shut down, Mar11.)

     

    Still shopping almost daily when home (certainly taking precautions.)

     

    Still traveling almost weekly for work, (essential.)

     

    Oh and my next door neighbors got the plague. (Mild cases all and I will be drinking 6 feet away from them tonight.)

     

    My question for the doomsayers is, wasn’t I suppose to be dead a month ago or so?

     

    And looking at the bottom line, Texas has done a great job. Time to start (carefully) opening things back up.

  3. I'm pretty blown away with how cheap a baby tiger is.  Dogs from a decent breeder could easily run you more than a baby tiger.

    Yea but a bag of Purina costs a whole bunch less than pounds of meat those beasts eat daily. (Not including Carols feed your hubby to the Tigers night.)
  4. Ok, I’m deemed “essential”. And I flew on AA DFW-SoCal last Monday night (and back Thursday.) It was really light as far as DFW -anything goes. No wait getting a drink at the club, very light flight (maybe 1/3 full.) Compare that tonight, the C terminal club may be had 10 folks in it at 8pm and it closed 1 hour early. But between that flight and the return, nothing really stupid light.

     

    But the vicious rumor circulating thru out the Admirals club EMPLOYEES was that AA was SHUTTING down Wednesday! As the Poo-Ba at the club told me minutes ago, you better find another way home.

     

    Could be a vicious rumor but considering there are 11 open seats in first to SOCAL this flight is historically empty. So I don’t doubt that rumor.

     

    The good news is that folks are taking this seriously. (Unlike Milan when I was there in late JAN and the mayor was encouraging locals to make out with Chinese peeps.)

  5. I was at FitTeam today and was impressed with Tucker’s size. He was a rail his first spring in our system but he has really bulked up. Kind of normal to fill out with age but impressive nonetheless.

  6. WTF? Blummer is damn Astro treasure. Maybe it’s my Cali roots and I can relate to his self deprecating style. Whatever it is I find him to be hilarious and glad he’s on our side.

    As a side note Kalas seemed to be over his senility that was on display his first year or so.

    I’m so over this off-season. Let’s play some real baseball and kick some ass!

  7. My point is we have abject poverty in America. But you obviously got that. 


    And my point is the abject poverty in America (or its territory’s) ain’t shit compared to the abject poverty in much of the rest of the world.

  8. Puerto Rico is the poorest place I’ve been.  And I’ve been to Cambodia. 


    Sounds like you’ve missed out on most of Africa, the Middle East, heck even the Philippines.
  9. Jake is reticent to express his Longhorn fandom because he's overly sensitive about the fact that he didn't attend UT. Although he seemingly has no reservations about going all in on Tech with his wife being an alum. Which makes me wonder how she ended up there after growing up in Louisiana. 


    She went to Tech because she’s not real smart. But smart enough to get the heck out of Louisiana.
