Austin dreams
Talking with some friends at breakfast this morning about Austin memories. Both were natives, I was the Johnny-come-lately, September of '65. We were trying to remember the bar that was housed in an old house on the West side of the old Intermural fields on Speedway. I think it was Roy's or some other man's first name. Also discussed the Grotto, an Italian restaurant on the Drag immediately north of 26th St. Had a little waterfall over the plate glass windows in front. I think the University bought it and used it for some offices for a while after it closed. The owner ran a small bar in the back. Some days, I guess I'm lucky to remember when I was at school at all.

Nuremberg
Just finished Rise and Fall this past month. I was disappointed over how many principal players served very little. Of course, one has to accept that the burden of proof is normally on the prosecution. May catch it when it streams.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Wife and I got our second Shingrix shot on Thursday. Both had slight discomfort in arm for a day, but no other bad effects. Pharmacist at CVS offered flu and Covid-19 at same time, but we deferred. We had heard about bad effects on second Shingrix, so didn't want to add to it. We will go back in a few weeks and get flu and Covid shots. Sister-in-law and her husband just got back from out of state and had contracted Covid from relatives. Seems to be a lot of Covid going around. Forgot to add - we're in the 75+ group.

LDS are pretty common at IRS. Part of it is their commitment to service, which may also explain the military participation. Many I met were exceptionally civil and agreeable, but I found many of the men very sexist and sometimes quite promiscuous (maybe not so bad for Surly.) Probably no more than evangelical youth pastors.- Elon Musk: Nazi traitor piece of shit [Confirmed]

In the late '50s, early '60s they had a live kangaroo mascot kept on campus. Katie the Kangaroo. My grandmother lived down the street and we would walk down and see her.
