  1. It's because he's American. He said he came over to England to avoid the draft after the draft lottery. Married an English woman to be able to stay.
  2. Watched the first episode last night. Pretty good so far. Big Merchant and Walken fan, so the cast is a hit.
  3. Why is KXAN running an Amy Schneider rerun when new contestants are scheduled?
  4. My Echo SRM 225 won’t stay going or loses power under a load. I have changed air and fuel filters and it has always been run on Tru-fuel. Today, it did fine for a couple of hours. Then trouble trimming. Sometimes it dies when I try to accelerate to full speed. would a carberator cleaner help? It is about six years old, kept garaged, and used about once a month. I need to do some heavy trimming tomorrow.
  5. Access to UT Google apps (including Drive) will go away at that time for all who are not students, faculty or staff. The 1 gig is the email storage only. Knowledge Base Article - Service Portal (service-now.com) That really sucks, as I have beaucoup storage out there. Most is backup, but some I need to move elsewhere. Too good to last, I guess.
  6. We made 'em leave his boots on The day they laid him down
  7. It was that way at Izzy's in Cincinnati. Had a guy (local radio personality, I think) who would seat people anywhere there was room during the lunch rush. He would try to keep couples and groups together. Jokingly, but firmly would get you up and out when you were through.
  8. Greatest slow dance song of the early '60s.
  9. To further extend the Bosworth diversion, two of my grandsons (one with a longhorn cap and throwing a Hook 'em) got their photo with him and Ricky at ACL. My daughter said they were both very nice to the boys.
  10. Really enjoyed Stay Close. It was a little confusing at first, with all the different plot lines with the different characters. After wife and I got used to the characters and began to see their roles, it proved to be well done. We're big James Nesbitt and Jo Joyner fans, and the cast contains several other solid British TV regulars.
  11. We need a prosecutor who can indict a ham sandwich.
  12. Any guesses if Amy is trans? NTTAWWT When she first came on, I wondered if she was just a somewhat masculine appearing woman. In one show, she mentioned a former girlfriend. Then, the other day, she mentioned having an unusual tattoo - of Princess Ozma of Oz, who was a girl changed into and raised as a boy (Tippitarius) and later transformed back into a girl. Whatever, she is a really good contestant, and it's fun to watch her dominate.
  13. Don't forget myriad versions of the stars and bars. Surprisingly, I haven't seen a Nazi swastika flag -- yet.
  14. We rented a house at 3715 Medical Pkwy in 68-67. The back yard backed up to 2-J's back property. My parents came down to visit us and I walked over to Mayton's Minimax on the corner of Lamar and 38th with my 13 year old younger brother to pick up something. While in line, three armed guys came in and robbed the place. They clocked old man Mayton on the head and got off with a bag of money from the office and registers. A bit scary with angry guys waving pistols all around. I think they were caught later that day. 2j's was okay. My son liked the small carousel they had on the parking lot.
  15. Acorn also has a lot of good British/Aussie/NZ detective shows/murder mysteries.
  16. Maybe she should avoid Brass Against concerts.
  17. Got my Moderna booster on Monday. Arm was a little sore that evening, similar to after effects of second shot. Achy all night and Tuesday morning. Took some Sodium Naproxen. All normal since Tuesday evening. Wife had no after effects.
  18. Proven by copies of Fanny Hill and Candy passed around high schools in the early sixties.
