  1. Most times I park my truck as far away from any other vehicles as possible. I don’t mind the extra distance to walk. Just in the last 5 weeks alone, where I had no choice of where to park, my truck has been hit 3 times. One being a young girl backed into my rear bumper while she was backing out of the parking space behind mine. Fortunately there was no damage to my bumper but messed hers up a bit. Second, someone opened their door into the side of my truck leaving a nice chip in my paint. I have a white truck and now there is a nice quarter inch diameter black spot on my truck. I see it every time I get in my truck. Just today I noticed that someone hit the front of my truck and broke my front license plate holder and put a nice crease in my plate. Just last September someone was vandalizing cars in a parking garage in Shreveport and my truck fell victim to them too. They hit the top of my tailgate and put a big crease in the top of it. People suck at times.
  2. If I were this person this image would be attached to my resume. Heck, the pic may be all it would take to get hired.
  3. Such a great image. Undaunted by the tomfoolery going on around him.
  4. What a Thanksgiving Day game he had. You can’t help but like this guy. Such a good dude.
  5. From Chapel Hill, NC while visiting my also Texas-Ex daughter for Thanksgiving TEXAS!!!
  6. I am currently in Chapel Hill, NC visiting my daughter, SIL, and granddaughter for Thanksgiving. My SIL invited me to play Ultimate Frisbee Wednesday afternoon. I have never played UF before but I consider myself to be a good athlete and am very competitive, so sure, I am all in. I am running around out there like a madman even breaking off covering my own guy to help with another defense. Instinctively I dove for a catch in the end zone for a score. I was fine while I was playing but my body hates me right now. Pride and age are bitter enemies to a man.
  7. My son, now 29, is a no nonsense person. While he did play some video games the bulk of his time was spent outdoors being the typical country boy. When he was about 9 years old he was left at home alone which was a common thing to do. However, this time when I came home he was in his room with his door closed playing a video game. I quietly knocked on his door. He asked who was there. My reply was another soft knock on his door. Again he asked who was there. Again, I simply knocked on the door again. All of a sudden the door flies open and he is standing in a crouched defensive position holding one of his skinning knives for field dressing a deer. I am so thankful that I had not jumped through the door to scare him otherwise he would have gutted me.
  8. The corridor of the hotel that I stayed in overnight at the Haneda Airport in Japan.
  9. I was at UT the same time that you were. One of my good buddies from high school went to aggy and joined the Corps. After they beat us my freshman year we met up right after the game. He was over the top with his obnoxiousness and would not shut up. I simply walked away. I may have spoken to him twice in the last 40 years. What a shame.
  10. Besides being an aggy, this reaction will (should) haunt him for the rest of his life. He is coming across as a complete simpleton.
  11. From the airport on my Axis Nation Tour. Been in Germany this week and now headed to Japan for next week. Unfortunately mostly business. I will be cheering from afar TEXAS!!!
  12. I-35 was a mess when I started school at UT in the Fall of 1984. Been that way ever since. I was always coming in from the North. Back then there were gaps between Georgetown, Round Rock, and Phlugerville so you could always find a work around. Parmer was way out of town back then. My daughter was a student there from 2010 to 2014 and I hated the drive in every time.
  13. I love to decorate for Christmas and had grand plans for this year. I got divorced in 2017 and I kept the house. My son and his 4 year old daughter (my granddaughter) had been staying with me while he renovated a house. He recently finished the house, got married and moved out. With the granddaughter also moving out I felt comfortable with doing a lot of decorating without fear of her playing with a lot of the decorations and messing them up. Now I find myself headed to Germany and Japan for the next two weeks. Then up to North Carolina for a week at Thanksgiving visiting my daughter, SIL, and granddaughter. Then I will be back in time to go for another business trip to Milwaukee for a week in early December. Not sure how much decorating will actually get done. On a positive I did get engaged to a wonderful woman this past week as I proposed to my girlfriend while on vacation in Sedona.
  14. I loved the monologue. The female guitarist that plays the white guitar never once cracked a smile. She was not amused. Other band members were laughing.
