  1. There are a bunch of papers and articles on this. The NY Times had a great one but got bored with it. The U.S has been pretty consistent at 20% higher than normal so yeah, we are already somewhere around 850,000.
  2. Evidence just in case. Note the lack of license plates
  3. Rental across the street from me showed up today with a 20 foot box white truck that screams I want to blow this up, pulling a 15 foot aluminum boat. And a support suv. Still not sure how they got it all parked over there but they managed. Pretty sure they are eco terrorists from Oregon. They are playing good music right now though so I will wait till tomorrow to go interrogate.
  4. I like that 1 just went ahead and numbered herself to save us the trouble of arguing over it.
  5. Dad was from West Virginia and got a scholarship to play basketball in the 60’s, otherwise I’d probably be a coal miner or railroad worker. Mom went to UT also so I was raised a Longhorn. Technically my first game was when my mom was 6 or 7 months pregnant but the first games I really remember well were the Earl years. I loved going down on the field after the games. I nearly went to Claremont McKenna to play basketball, but a drunken RoundUp weekend changed my mind. I was at UT during the Gardere years so OU sucked, but other than the one shock the nation year we sucked. I’ve never rooted for any other college team, and never will.
  6. I think we got half an inch to an inch of rain. No flooding. Wind stayed in the 20’s with gusts to 40 for a few hours. It was nothing here.
  7. No big damage but pretty much every boat lost their outriggers during the Cat2 that just went near Cabo. These boats are in the Los Cabo marina which nearly took a direct hit. Going to be a scramble to get everyone new outriggers before October when the 3 big money tournaments are. IMG_0091.mov
  8. Also conspicuous lack of Paul in that video.
  9. Cabo took a glancing hit from a Cat2 Thursday., Los Cabos or San Jose took almost a direct hit. It’s hard to get much info out of there right now but I know a bunch of boats got messed up. Anyway, if you are traveling down there soon check with the hotel before you go.
  10. Aggy game, east Texas and Houston. OU game north Texas. Tech game west Texas. Who gives a fuck about south Texas. Its a hell of a lot better than playing Rice, or UTEP, or U of H every year.
  11. I asked this same question a week or so back and nobody answered so I am assuming no. Was also wondering if anyone got a surprise positive. No answer to that either and I think those are both really interesting data points. Wish we had a larger sample.
  12. You can try this link as you are getting close. I’m never sure how accurate it really is. You should be fine tomorrow evening. I’d guess a 30 minute to hour wait coming in at worst. When I come in on Fridays during the summer I always avoid the ferry and just go thru Corpus. Worst case is it’s an extra 30 minutes but it’s a good excuse for me to stop at HEB+ and do any other shopping I need. Monday morning won’t be a problem at all.
  13. Those are both early enough that you should be ok.
  14. Your guess is as good as mine. Between the overbuilding and Covid things are all messed up. Last offseason the weekends with nice weather were really crowded. If you have to use the ferry that Friday or Monday it’ll be a long wait unless you hit it early or late. Peak arrival/departure hours are a mess. 361 thru Corpus should be fine. If you got here around lunchtime that was the worst I’ve ever seen. There was no way to get to anywhere on Cutoff or get to anywhere south of Kody’s on 361. So glad summer is over.
  15. To be fair the short term rental people are making a killing. You can pretty much charge 200-300 a night per bedroom even in an older house and be booked every weekend plus a lot of weeknights in the summer.
  16. Ha. Pretty much. It’s out of control. There’s going to be a big fight on the city council soon about STR’s. Monday the traffic leaving the island using 361 to Corpus was backed up all the way to Kody’s. I know people that were in it and it took them over 2 hours to get to North Padre. That’s a 16 mile traffic jam. And forget trying to use the ferry.
  17. I’ve been liking Bluewater Cowboy lately and they’ve got all those options. Sit at the top floor bar for best service. You can get anything on the menu except sushi up there and I don't think they are doing sushi right now anyway. https://www.bwcporta.com/menu/

    No way. Is it legal to score 3 goals?

    Honduras is basically due south of New Orleans. Costa Rica is even further east, more like directly below the Florida panhandle. I never realized any of this until watching a flight map flying Costa Rica to Houston and being so confused that the plane had a NW track for 3 hours. Then it gets really weird in Panama. When you transit the Panama Canal from the Atlantic to the Pacific you are traveling southeast. Central America be crazy. I guess I didn’t pay much attention in world geography and just equated the Pacific Ocean with California and west.
  20. To this day that has to be the biggest ass whipping in a conference championship game ever. We could have put up 100 pretty easily. Vince was on his mission.
  21. What kind of food are y’all looking for Friday? Places here have been ridiculously crowded all summer. Hopefully that’s over with now that we are past Labor Day. Game watching options aren’t great here. Stingrays is the only good sports bar, but you will need to get there early to get a good table. They have a full menu but the food mostly sucks. Salty Dog has decent tv’s but no food. You can always order a pizza from Dominos though. The back bar at Bernie’s is ok too, multiple tv’s and their bar food is open till 8 or so.
