  1. Disappointed they didn't televise Sark's after game press conference last night. Sometimes they cut it off early. I watched it this AM on Youtube, however. Always liked to watch the post game show.
  2. I know a couple of guys from the class of '63 (one recently dec'd), but don't recognize either from that photo. Most St. Ed's guys I know graduated in class of '65.
  3. I filed when I was in jr. high and high schools but didn't need to taxwise. All my employers back then withheld from my pay, so I had to file to get that witholding refunded.
  4. A little off topic, but I didn't want to start another. Sometime in the '70s, there were some smaller, progressive country music concerts at Steiner Ranch. Not sure if before or after the Sunday Break concerts, as I don't remember them. Wish I had seen the Band live, though. One of these had Willie, Billy Joe, Alex Harvey (wrote Delta Dawn, played LA swamp rock), and the Wheel. The other had Waylon, Jimmy Buffett, and Rusty Wier. I know Tommy Steiner performed at one of them. Other performers were there, but I can't remember who or recognize in what photos I had. All I have are contact sheets, as I lost any original photos and the original negatives in a flood in 2015. Only stories I have are that some hippies went skinny dipping in Bull Creek, but we stayed away as we had our young kids (under 10 yo) with us. I also missed what could have been the best photo I could have taken. Willie had come out and sat in the audience, apparently chatting up some cutie. One of our party told my 5-6 year old daughter to go give Willie a kiss, which she did. All of us thought it was great, but sitting there with a camera in my lap, I didn't even think to capture the moment. Lotsa beer that day. I do have some old scans, however.
  5. Currently enjoying The Sixth Commandment on Britbox. Limited series based on real events concerning a young "religious" man preying on old folks. How it was done pre internet.
  6. Had one last week. Added grilled japs. Tasty. Maybe try with Texas Toast next time.
  7. What store? I can only find FoodSaver online at heb.com.
  8. I might consider it. Seems to be a better view than in Austin or Bastrop.
  9. No, but I took my driving test at the Ranger Station at Fair Park.
  10. We watch it on the YouTube streams. You are not missing much. It's reruns, due to the WGA strike.
  11. Weren't the Republicans the "better dead than Red" people?
  12. At Steiner Ranch, early or mid seventies. When he was more cosmic cowboy than boat people.
  13. Same same. Picked up daughter and her family from ABIA this morning and enjoyed one at the Whataburger in the cell phone lot.
  14. Bo Diddley with a San Francisco '60s twist. Loved this song from when it first came out.
  15. Christianity is the faith that slaveholders used to justify maintaining slavery. He should read his history of the times.
  16. Are they going to convert Jay's or continue the seafood and spaghetti? Facebook
  17. Close. Morganna. Of course she's almost my age (75+), so prolly not the same attraction as many years ago. It was fun while it lasted. Morganna - Wikipedia
  18. Hey, @justhookit, Was Shell's bought by the same guy who owns the Holiday Inn Express property and the old Rock Cottages and Laughing Horse properties? Or is someone going to put a new restaurant there? Gonna be a lot of units up at Eleventh and G. Did the guy from Shell's retire?
  19. So, if an Executive Order can modify/reverse a constitutional amendment (fourteenth), why doesn't Biden modify/reverse the 2nd to clearly state a limitation on gun ownership?
  20. Wonder Boys. Movie ending song won an Oscar.
  21. Thanks for letting me know Detroiters was on Amazon. One of the co-creators and writers was Joe Kelly, the only co-creator of Ted Lasso not to appear in the series. Also wrote for SNL a couple of seasons.
