  1. If it was about the food, you could go to Esperanza's on Park Place since they serve the exact same meals as Joe T's. It's all about the atmosphere-go there once and then go to Los Vaqueros for the food from then on.
  2. Agreed. Northside location>TCU since they moved off of Berry street and parking sucks at the University location. Charley's Old Fashioned Hamburgers on Granbury Road is the best burger in town.
  3. Woke up this morning in Dana Point, California. I have been here with my wife and daughter in law preparing to do a memorial service for my son who died in January. It has been a bittersweet visit to such a beautiful place, but thankfully, the zoom meetings in Ft Worth have been a lifeline to my answer as well as the many phone calls to those who truly care about me. I am grateful that I am sober today and will have the opportunity to speak to a large gathering of my friends about my son. I went to a surf shop yesterday to rent a wetsuit for the paddle out and scattering of his ashes. Three young locals working in the store were most helpful and when I told them why I needed the suit, they all embraced this Texas stranger and wished me comfort. I went to pay for the suit, and the kid behind the counter said no charge sir-go in peace. Such an unconditional random act of kindness was so touching to me that when I left the shop, I sat on a bench and cried while thanking God for my life today and my son's life without pain and suffering today. I'm constantly reminded by this program that we know only a little and that God will constantly reveal Himself-yesterday was just another example of that for which I will have a memory to treasure and share with the new guy who walks into the room for the first time without any idea of how to live life without alcohol. It's a beautiful day in California today thanks to the new pair of glasses I was given by the program of Alcoholics Anonymous.
  4. What a tribute pic for your Captain! Good boy.
  5. Some of the best street tacos can usually be found in trucks and gas stations. The folks who make these wonderful options sometimes find success with financial backing to open places of their own like Aaron Franklin once did with his brisket.
  6. Had these on Tuesday for the first time at Maestro Tacos (3 for $10) on Bledsoe. Would recommend them.
  7. Yep, we live in their world don't we? It'd be a better world if they were in charge for damn sure.
  8. Another great Mexican place that is leaving Sylvania for higher traffic areas.
  9. Bella, Rocky, and we are all sending our best thoughts and prayers to your sweet Little Bitty. Hang in there sweet girl.
  10. Where is the focusness?
  11. Here is where death ray vision would have come in handy for that moron. Yes, DC comics were my favorite addiction as a kid and I always hoped that something like this weapon would have been developed in my lifetime, especially in times and days like the one you just described.
  12. Joins the Gingerman pub in Ft Worth which occupied the former Rick's on the Bricks spot on Camp Bowie.
  13. Sorry about the pets. Hope the instigator of the wreck has insurance.
  14. Jr. Miller must have said this 25 times from 6-10 am this morning on the Ticket. Clairvoyant little bastard ain't he?👽
  15. Think it was an outpatient procedure at the hospital.
  16. Sweet girl. Sorry for the $$ hit but that is not a bad bill for such a high end treatment. Hope she mends quickly.
  17. Mickey Rafael's harmonica on this tune is the shit.
  18. And he's recovering from illness.
  19. If it walks like a duck. . . .😄 Don't you just wish honesty was enough? Has to be RIGOROUS honesty!! Talking to myself here amigo.
  20. Got a good estimate for complete renovation of flower beds and two trees to replace lost ones from this outfit yesterday. Got an appointment on Tuesday after contacting them last Friday. https://www.facebook.com/meangreenDFW/
  21. Always enjoy their wings
  22. Good dog Shelby. You have a doppleganger in Callie that you should look up. She was the wife and my first dog and gave us the best 18 years of her life.
  23. The Original Kincaids is on Camp Bowie, next to a great dive bar, the Showdown. It was very convenient back in the day to call in an order, leave the bar, return to the bar and eat a great burger with cold beer. The other location is off of Hulen across from the mall-quality is still the same there. Someday you gotta get one of these burgers!
  24. We were headed south on Bryant Irvin last night between Vickery and Edwards Ranch Road when I saw the roaring fire that was rapidly consuming the apartments. The FD had not arrived yet but by the time we got to Arborlawn, there were multiple trucks headed that way.
  25. One of the reasons Surly rocks and others suck.
