    From ABC13:
    According to records, Williams was convicted of two counts of aggravated robbery with a deadly weapon and served 12 years behind bars before being released in February 2020.

    How does a dude that has been in jail for 12 years have $35k sitting around less than a year after getting out? Job market that hit?


    Also, o really? :

    This shooting is part of a growing problem in the city of Houston. In December 2020, the Harris County Sheriff's Office joined with the District Attorney's Office, the Houston Police Department, and the Texas Department of Public Safety to implement a new task force that proactively goes after violent, aggressive drivers.

    It also made penalties tougher for violations

     

    These guys are members of gangs, or smaller neighborhood gangs.  Their fellow gang members go out and commit robberies to raise money for bonds.  That's what the killers of the New Orleans officer at Grotto were doing.  Saw the "bling" everyone was wearing at the outside table (in full view) and they went after it...but it ended badly.

    So, wife just left to go to a work thing in Galveston this morning for a couple days.  I am a bit concerned.

    Just make sure she writes her social security number on her forearm with a Magic Marker in case she gets washed out to sea.

    Someone followed them from NO and settled a score was my thinking here.

    It was reported the three men were gang members looking to rob people to raise bond money to get their gang buds out of jail.  The New Orleans men at the Grotto restaurant were wearing a bunch of "bling", in full view, and were sitting outside in front of the restaurant as to why they were seen and targeted.  Apparently, it's fairly common for gang thugs to rob people to raise bond money to get their boys out of jail.

    Agree with all except Skyfall.  Skyfall is up there with the all time best Bond themes.

    I can't even remember the Spectre theme. It was terrible and completely forgettable.

    Goldfinger, Thunderball and OHMSS.

    Trammel talks expansion

     

    "The Big 12 is back in the expansion business. The beleaguered conference will not need to draw up a list of potential candidates. 

    That list already exists. 

    The Big 12’s infamous 2016 expansion process, during which the conference asked for applications from prospective members and interviewed at least 11 schools, gives the league more than a jumpstart....

    Trammel thinks BYU, UH, Cincinnati, SMU, UCF, Boise and Memphis are likely to be in the lead.

     

    Sucked then, sucks even more now....

    Halloween in Houston.  This is generally when it feels "nice" again.  September fools the newbs in thinking that the cool down starts, but it seems September can be as brutal, or worse, than August.  Then comes October and the girls bust out a sweater because the low is 67. Starbucks makes a strong appearance while highs are 88-90 still.  Love this city from November through April though.  Especially, Nov to Dec.(*)

    * - Except last February.....

    For another spell it was a California Pizza Kitchen too, I believe.

    I think I spent a St. Patty's day back when it was still Birraporetti's, one of the last years, drinking green drinks in that parking lot. 

    Birrapiretti's on West Gray was one of my favorite places.  Very sad when it closed.

    I'll just say that I didn't do enough bar crawling in Houston when I first moved here in 1989.  Got married in 1992 and that was that.  Don't know many (any) of these places.  

    Went to Marfreless for the first time in the 90s.  Let's just say it held up to its storied reputation....

    Yes. It’s just west of Lockwood where it goes over the tracks. I have some protest photos from last year regarding the whole situation.

    Hell, I should just dump all my Houston as fuck photos in here.

     

     

    You need to publish a coffee table book of your photos.  They all remind me of iconic Texas Monthly photos.
