2024 Hurricane Season thread of DOOM
Yeah. We would drive down for the day from Bastrop area when we needed to assess, clean, meet with FEMA, meet with the roofer or other workers, etc. The Sea Sands condo ripped all their sheet rock out and piled it on their parking lot till it could be hauled away. My wife picked up a cough from all the crap in the air. My sister in law's neighborhood over by Community Park was covered with all the vegetation from Charlie's Pasture and the sewer plant swamp. They had more smell problems than we did. It was probably six weeks to two months before we could stay the night.

Who's been covid vaxxed? Stand up and be counted.
Wife and I got Pfizer Covid, flu, and Prevnar 20 pneumonia vaccines last week. Both had sore muscle at injection site of Prevnar, me for a day, her a little longer. I plan on getting shingles vax in a couple of weeks. We had the older one years ago. She doesn't want the new one. She had a mild case of shingles on her arm right after the vax. Went away in a few weeks after prescribed ointment. I don't look forward to the side effects.

A story about a pathetic man's downfall [34 Felony Convictions]
My wife and I took Life and Literature in summer of 1969. The professor was named Watson. Much different books. We read Dobie's Coronado's Children, Andy Adams' Log of a Cowboy, Charlie Siringo's A Texas Cow Boy or Fifteen Years on the Hurricane Deck of a Spanish Pony, Katherine Porter's Pale Horse, Pale Rider, and a collection of stories and poems by Eugene Manlove Rhodes. I may have forgotten one or more. I know we read a book about a cattle drive that he characterized as popular cowboy fiction to contrast with the better written pieces. Unfortunately, too late for Dobie and too early for Graham. Still enjoyed the class.

Disagree. Their anchors are weak sauce, but Alan Holt has good explanations and is as accurate as any (maybe a bit folksy).

Coach Sark Press Conference 9.16 - 11:30am(ish) LHN (app)
Since the remake of the LHN, I have had trouble getting the after game press conferences IRT. I tried to find them on LHN, but waited without results. Are they still available live? Where? I guess the best way to watch the Monday presser is on KBVO? Streaming LHN seems to be steaming.

Port Aransas
Not my favorite restaurant, but the grandkids loved the decor. Actually, me too. Wife and I did love the Captain's Catch sandwich, which was great for a call in order after a hard day of yard work. I remember when they had karaoke night once a week (Thursdays?). Been there the over 25 years we've had a presence on the island. Hey, justhookit, do you think they will auction off all those statues, etc. or maybe sell to the new owners?

Port Aransas
Was there over the holiday weekend. Busy, but not as much as usual for Labor Day. Lots of carts still in the lots. IGA was a zoo, but the parking lot wasn't as full as usual for heavy weekends. Early back to school? Fear of weather? BTW weather was great.

Oldies
That was on the jukebox at the Dairy Queen when I was in high school and was one of the favorite plays. When our radio station played them, they weren't yet oldies. 🙂

A Pedophile Stole My Putter
Was he on TOS? What name did he use? From what I have read of Ulbricht, he kept his Silk Road activity VERY close to his chest, so it seems strange he bragged about it on TOS.

Welcome to Costco .....
We do both SamsClub and Costco. Some of the Costco items are more upscale (like organics) and SamsClub has a lower priced item. We love the Scan & Go feature. Saves a lot of time.

I had a red Schwinn also, maybe a year or two later. Mine didn't have a speedometer, light, or tool bag, however. It did have three speeds with the little changer on the handlebars like that one appears to have. That convinced me there was a Santa, as the boxes (older bro got one, too) were out by the curb marked $69.95, and I knew my parents couldn't have swung $140 for these two bikes for Christmas. I guess I didn't know about lay-away and credit at the time.
