  1. I tagged along with my high school senior on his trip to Oklahoma State this year. I really liked Stillwater and it absolutely would have been the silver lining had he chosen OSU. Reminded me of Austin eons ago when I was a kid. Back to softball.
  2. 5-0 Texas @T-shirt Sip going to the bottom of the 5th
  3. What games did aggy cancel l?
  4. . . . and Bill Byrne declined, stating publicly it would never be profitable. Nebraska sank the Big 12 Network because it jeopardized their own network plans.
  5. Technically - you could. That may have been one of the defenses asserted by Jeffrey Dahmer.
  6. I don't recall what I paid for a Woo Doo back in the day, but $28!? That's already an astronomical amount unless they've evolved into a service that requires more than just a trimmer.
  7. They were presenting “Best Picture” together. Minnelli was struggling with the lines and the cards they gave her. GaGa handled it beautifully and with such grace. Pulled them both through it with such dignity.
  8. The winner of the night was Lady GaGa. The respect and kindness she showed Liza Minnelli was overwhelming. The words she leaned down and whispered just before they tossed it to the nominations - “I got you” - and the innocence of Liza’s reply, should be the story of the night. Not the Will Smith shitshow. Shame.
  9. does Ukraine not have Uber?
  10. I cannot read this without this voice in my head.
  11. Good Luck. Go Horns!
  12. Paid. Thanks.
  13. Laugh if you must, but my kids and their nerd friends have been relentlessly pounding Niantic about this since the war began.
  14. I had a coworker whose fiancé flew an A-10 in the first Gulf War. He flew in the attack on the retreating Iraqi military personnel attempting to leave Kuwait on the "Highway of Death." The photos and scenes from that event that have come out since certainly fit his narrative of the carnage. Flying the length of the convoy, or crossing over it and strafing soldiers that had fled into the desert. Cherry-picking targets at their leisure one at a time with an eye towards maximum damage to man and material. No resistance but small arms fire. He was more concerned about running low on fuel or ammunition and missing out on the last few runs than he was of getting fired upon. Here Is Fiona Hill on "The Daily" today. She says in an interview with Ezra Klein that Putin has shifted from regime change to complete annihilation of Ukraine, it's leaders, cities, and population. He wants nothing more that to punish everyone [13:51] and teach a lesson to anyone that chooses to ignore Russia. This is a long way from over [19:54].
  15. Ever since Waze was sold to Google it's been shit.
  16. Per Belarus, "Anonymous" took credit for doing that by hacking the system over a week ago.
  17. War in Ukraine: Current State and What’s Next with Experts on RU mil Worth the listen. It's a nice summary of events to date.
  18. Might have been going to Beaumont. That was the departure point and where they were loading heavy equipment during the Gulf War Crossing the Houston Ship Channel between East Bay and West Bay recently and we ran the registry number on a large LNG freighter just for grins. Saw that it was heading to Morocco and would arrive exactly two weeks later.
  19. It's time to test the outside of the International Space Station with a couple of cosmonauts.
  20. I had a photographer friend lose the bottom of her face and most of her throat to a sniper in Sarajevo. Margaret Moth She survived, barely. Spent years in Houston freelancing while she had her face reconstructed. Toughest person I've ever met.
  21. I miss Jerry Trupiano and John Breen
  22. Clearly the seagulls were in on it. I wonder if they'll be brought in for questioning.
