  1. Scrolled down w/o reading the text....thought you been snek'd in the finger.
  2. Damn, that looks like a gorgeous day for a game.
  3. Good lord, he was such a piece of shit.
  4. The city not doing the right and prudent thing is mind-boggling? More so, it's just following the SOPs to a tee.
  5. No worries, not taxpayer dollars.... AUSTIN (KXAN) — Austin City Council approved an $88 million settlement agreement with LoneStar Holdings, the group that operates the airport’s South Terminal, for a lawsuit in Travis County District Court and another in federal court. The agreement allows Austin-Bergstrom International Airport the ability to move forward with its expansion and redevelopment program, according to an AUS press release. As part of its expansion plans for AUS, the city decided last June to use eminent domain to take over the property near the main terminal where the South Terminal sits. The city agreed to a 40-year deal with Lonestar in March 2016 and then in June 2022 offered to pay the group $1.9 million, which Lonestar denied, citing the amount it took to renovate the South Terminal. As a result, the company filed a lawsuit against the city last August. https://www.kxan.com/news/local/austin/88m-settlement-approved-for-critical-austin-airport-expansion/
  6. It's a unbridled shits show on all these fronts and more. But in a city that likes to spend consulting $ on how we should pick consultants, not a dime has been spent toward engaging Alan Graham to my knowledge. And that's one of the biggest crimes of all. But, hey, why do that? You'd only get sensible and pragmatic ideas about addressing homelessness while also interrupting the flow of money into pockets that are getting more full by the day.
  7. The camps aren't going anywhere. And they're going to continue to grow and grow. Accept it and know that's there not a thing that you can do about it. But what you can do to save a life and some misery for yourself is to shut it down to about 30 on any Ben White access road between Lamar and 35. The homeless dudes just come out of nowhere and walk across the road, vehicles be damned. Another guy got mowed down on Banister and Ben White last week. It happens about every three months. Be mindful of how you drive in that area or you could be part of the next fatality.
  8. It won't be completely dead until you hear Spiderwebs. That was the stake in KGSR's heart.
  9. Spend some time in the El Cortez.
  10. Really good interview with Larry King, at the beginning of which she talks about why she left the US. Would have been about 57 when this aired. What a gorgeous woman, amongst many things.
  11. Take it to the porn thread.
  12. Here. Appetites for pea soup were never the same.
  13. Everything in this movie weirded me out, Tina included. But she played it well.
  14. 5 Love it. Don't do it enough.
  15. First day of something called SXSW. People and mainstream media from populous places on both coasts got wind of a little festival in Austin, located it on a map, found a hotel, or motel and, four days later left, collectively saying "Wow. Music. Hills. Lakes. Liberal and weird people (yeah, it was still weird then). Nice weather. Food. And more music. In Texas, no less. " Word got out. People ultimately got wind of things, started coming in droves, for the festival, to visit otherwise, and more. Many, many came back to stay, and then to build homes and businesses and bring existing businesses with them from a long ways away. There was no looking back. I'm not revealing anything new. 3-1/2 decades ago, SXSW was the turning point from when Austin went from a (still relatively) sleepy town to, as of today, the 10th largest city in the country along with being of the most talent-laden and biggest business hubs in the US. Along with that "old Austin", or whatever you want to call it, died.
  16. Harlan going "machete" and "lickety split" in the same sequence. Never question why he is the best in the business.
  17. Oh, it can't be with James...
  18. March 12, 1987. May be off a day or two. That was the beginning of it.
  19. Sound basic but anything but that. Little twinge of sweetness in 'em. Goodness.
  20. The Cro-Magnon needs to cut his hair.
  21. Yup.
  22. Harlan is do damned good. He and Cooperstein are the only pxp guys I've ever heard who can make each possession seem like the game is hinging on it.
