Bummer. He was badass.

Unfortunately, a couple of my dearest friends going back to middle school days are, and it pains me immensely. I don't think they're racists, and they make good money.
One lives in FW and sells medical supplies, and the other (so far as I can tell) drives around the oil patch back home to record oil well meters or some such. I dunno. But neither of them actually graduated from college but both likely make more than me.
Texas is the weird anomaly where folks without a degree can still do well because of oil and a booming population. West Virginia doesn't have those advantages, so the people who stay just languish and suffer.
It’s weird. My relatively uneducated(but not stupid) Arkansas hillbilly relatives range in age from 24 to 74 and all hate Trump with a passion. Most all of my educated but very religious Houston area relatives hate him too.
Among my “friends” the most ardent Trumpkins are a young Puerto Rico immigrant and a middle aged gay Mexican American married to a Vietnamese immigrant.

That’s it. No vote on witnesses.
Wait, what? Weren’t they gonna call the Bidens to expose the Democrats graft? It’s almost like they don’t care about corruption.

Seen quit a few “iconic” guitarists live but none better than Prince was. He made it look so effortless. Kinda like most everything else he did.

Wagons are the tits. Just finished building a new detached garage for my two - wife now gets the one-car attached garage for her car ('12 Forester XT - tried to get her to take a Outback 3.6 but she thinks they look like a cockroach).
'07 LGT (stage 2; lowered and stiffened; ~$5k hardwired speed enforcement countermeasures; total sleeper) for the summer, '04 OB 3.0 with 210k on the clock for train station and winter/shitty weather duty.
Once I get my '71 Skylark out of storage, the OB will have to go live up front in the driveway. Eventual plan is to "trade in" the OB for a lightly used AMG E63 wagon and (very regretfully) turn the LGT into my daily/winter car.
I bought one of the first WRX wagons to arrive in Texas. Great sleeper. Really fun to blow away the kids in their Rice Burners.
I think my wife’s 3.6R looks pretty sweet. If you want her to kick you in the nuts refer to it as an SUV.

I’m a fan, but damn I can’t see dropping $120k on a wagon or much of anything for that matter. Audi has really jumped their pricing up the last few years. We looked at the Q8’s before we bought the Expedition and they had several brushing up against $100k. I don’t think we paid more than $52k or so for the 2 Q5’s and the A5 that she had and the most expensive thing they had on the lot were the new at that time Q7’s that were less than $70k. However, every brand is on that same pricing trajectory I guess.
I’m a wagon fan. I tried to find a cool reasonably priced(50k or less) wagon a few years ago for my wife. The only option was the Volvo V60s. None of the DFW dealers kept them in stock. All they had was the jacked up Cross Country models. Ended up getting her another Outback.
The new Buick TourX is pretty nice looking but don’t know if it is worth a damn.

yes, he lives in an apartment because he's divorced.
So where does he keep his Airstream?
I did run across him at an Estate Sale off of Greenville. He was buying an old Underwood.

Man, that is not a good angle for that car. Looks horrible there.

When I was a kid we would go to Wright Patman Lake when they were letting water out of the spillway.
Guys would be lined up on both sides snagging them with treble hooks as they came down the spillway.

The Trump Administration has decided to let landowners and developers pour pesticides directly into millions of miles of the nation's waterways, something they have not been able to do for decades:
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-51225604
This has GOT to be a losing proposition for them, electorally speaking. Presumably, even conservative Republicans don't want to drink pesticides. Or is this another "killing fish and waterfowl to own the Libs" type deal?
“But the administration's own data shows that real estate developers and those in other non-farming industries are poised to reap the greatest rewards, by applying for permits to develop on previously protected waterways, the Associated Press reported.
According to the data, real estate developers and other business sectors outside farming take out substantially more permits than farmers for projects impinging on wetlands, creeks and streams.”
This is really helpful if you are in the business of developing golf courses and stuff.

I didn't mean the pop genre, I meant "popular music". I could have worded it better.
There will always be blurred lines. Let's say the rules are "rock, pop, rap, and reggae, but no jazz or country". So what about Herbie Hancock? What about Johnny Cash?
Sure seems like people care a lot about this institution nobody cares about.
Why not Popular Music Hall of Fame?
There are Halls of Fame for nearly every other genre.

Holy shit, the memories!
I was a last minute replacement Ambassador from El Salvador to the Model UN in Wichita, freshman year, 1966. We stayed at the Broadview Hotel and I bought that book from the lobby book and magazine shop. My very first porn purchase. I was able to smuggle it into the house in one of my Dad's hand-me-down attache cases that also held everything there was to know about El Salvador that could be found in Encyclopedia Britannica.
That’s not porn you lowbrow it’s art!

Had some beers with some Bison fans at my local watering hole yesterday. 24 degree wind chill at game time so they should feel right at home.
