    I am re-watching episode one right now. Wow, I forgot how much better Peter is than Lori. Also, Big Head wasn’t as big of an idiot.

    They really need an Erlich character on this show. Stupid TJ Miller.

    Este. Lori (or Laurie) flat-out sucks.

    This has been on my list as well.  I'm looking July here in Dallas.  

    Dr. French did mine. His partner Dr. Feigen treated my kidney stones one time. They're both great.

    Also, make sure to have it done by a urologist, not a general/family practitioner.

    It's been Central Market for me, with the occasional stop at Rudolph's.

    But Cooper Meat Market just opened in Sylvan 30.  The son of the family who opened Coopers in San Antonio 20 years ago lives in Oak Cliff, so he opened this one.

     If it works out, there will be one less reason for me to ever go north of the Trinity.  I bought some choice filets there a couple of weeks ago.  They were on the expensive side, but in the ballpark.  They were butchered to order and all eight were nice (nothing to tie up or anything).  The cooked up well and everyone was pleased.  But, the prices for prime and Akauushi (whatever the hell that is) are pretty crazy.   The whole operation is nicely set up.  They have a chef that has worked at steakhouses to grill up the meat for you if you want to eat there (very simple, not fancy set up so it's not a real steakhouse experience).  Lots of sides and pre-made food for parties available too.   I hope they can generate enough traffic or get restaurant sales to they stick around.  Good addition to the North Oak Cliff scene.

    I can't believe that guy has a kid old enough but then again, Cooper did go to Baylor. He was a pledge brother of my best friend from HS. Cooper Body, I think, was his name.

    I think there's a new meat market in downtown that somebody was telling me about. I don't think it was the Commissary but that might be it. I walked over there week before last for a sandwich and to take a look around. Neat place but it's as much restaurant as it is full-service meat market.

  4. Chuck ribs come from bones 1-5. Plate come from 6-9. They are both from the short plate primal cut. Chuck ribs cook just fine (that's actually the cut that some of the more well-known bbq joints use).
    Fun fact: if you are cooking a traditional bbq cut and it comes out dry, it most likely means you didn't cook it long enough. Moisture comes from intramuscular fat is it breaks down. 
    Also, the texture and fat content of chuck and plate ribs is significantly different than brisket. And the meat has a much more rich flavor to it. I rarely offer beef ribs simply because they take up a ton of space on the pit. But given the choice between beefers and brisket, most folks will opt for the beefer.


    Beef short ribs are terrific but you’re right, they’re ridiculously rich.

  5. Nice.  Too far for me, though.
    I tend to stick with basics--Central Market, Rudolph's or the basic supermarket.
    Anyone been to the newish place on Ross?  I keep meaning to go by there but I always seem to forget.


    Yeah, heard about that one too. Not sure what it’s called, though.
  6. We went out to Richardson's Wildflower Festival on Friday night on a whim. Our friend's husband was running the stage where Spoon played. Spoon killed it -- as always. Such a great band that always puts on a great show. Weird festival, though, as it's in the office park by the Renaissance Hotel (Galatyn Park).

    I don't understand this mentality. So what if they take the NRA's money, they are still free to enact gun control legislation. The Leg. doesn't want to pass gun control, not because they are afraid of the NRA, but because they are afraid their constituents will vote them out of office like the last time they tried this (and that law didn't do any good so it looks like a lose/lose situation from their perspective).

    How about we start getting politicians who don't make politics their career? Term limits and so on. Elect these people and let them vote with clear consciences. Because this shit we got now, that shit doesn't seem to work.

    Not to belabor the point, but the data in the article isn't "between" 1992 and 2015.  It's just two years, 1992-93 and 2014-15.  Maybe there's an article that uses data in every year from 1992 to 2015, but I haven't seen it.  I'm not saying the ultimate conclusion is wrong, but the data used raises questions.

    US Population in 1992: 265,000,000

    US Population in 2014: 318,600,000

    The actual quote in the article you posted is this:

    So the rate of .15 per million isn't really "now" or over a time frame of the past few years.  It's comparing two school years, 1992-93 and 2014-15. 

    I'm not doubting the point Johnny Sack and the story he quotes are making, but would be interested to see the numbers over a longer time period in the 1990s v. recent past rather than picking two seemingly random years. 

    Yeah, those are two weird years to pick out. Was the article written in 2015? Lotta shit has happened since then.
