  1. Go ahead and Ranger it, guys. It's what we expect.
  2. Nice inning. Rangers go up 6-0, ESPN plays cover of "Oh What A Night." Appropriate.
  3. That was nice.
  4. Charlie Sexton, age 14, Austin 1983. Listen to Joe & Charlie on “Ride A Motorcycle" from B4 84 on Rack'em Records recorded in 1983 Photo by Jon Tanno
  5. They make those special for people who buy new jeans with holes already in them.
  6. I said all along the Odel to Dallas stuff was smoke from both Odel and Jerry. It never made a ton of sense for the Cowboys, other than generating worthless buzz for both parties. Jerry gonna Jerry. Ravens went full regard with what they are paying. The must think it will give them leverage for getting Jackson back in the house, likely under the franchise tag.
  7. Hearns seems like he still sucks.
  8. Groovy stuff, y'all!
  9. I'm looking forward to trying out the one-knocker lipless. I always thought RattleTraps were overrated because the silly number of little bbs was overkill, too obnoxious and messed with the action. I always liked the old Cordell Spot better, either one-nocker or no-knocks back in the stone age. I never fished with jerk baits much, but I ain't gonna spend $25 on one just to lose it in a snag.
  10. I haven't been fishing yet this Spring, but I've been stocking up on modern lures while I have retired most of my more vintagey stuff. I hope Yo-zuri doesn't suck, but these were on clearance for about half the usual price. Snagged a few of my old tried and true favorite Bomber 6A crankers as well. Check the clearance section of your local Wal Mart's.
  11. Here's a bonus cliff swallow that I forgot. It's one of the only decent ones I got in the air and it's dropping a bomb.
  12. The sun was still a little high, not me. Just to make that clear...
  13. Some recent swallows, or "swallers" as I like to say. Regardless of how you say it, they are some of the most difficult birds to photograph. Barn Swallow. Cliff Swallow: The barny was buzzing me last week while I was trying to get close to a scissortail in a tree. When I failed at that and the scissortail flew off, I shifted to the barn swallow and jacked up the ISO and shutter speed and managed to grab a decent one, though it required a little bit of fancy sharpening tool voodoo. I noticed the cliff swallows while driving on a frontage road. There was a big swarm circling around an overpass, so I circled around and came back again and parked at a convenience store. I had my camera with me as usual, and I thought it might be a rare opportunity to get some shots. They weren't buzzing close enough to get a good one, and they were swarming so fast and randomly cutting. Then I saw they started swooping down to a couple of puddles by the road after it had rained earlier that morning. I found an ambush spot to set up with the sun behind me, still a little high but not bad, and was able to get them diving in to grab some mud and zip off again.
  14. NM
  15. Rushed home to catch the Rangers game, where the fudge is it on TV?
  16. "We will sell no Ripple before its time."
  17. Yeah, but Yoko did it without even throwing a punch.
  18. Only three undefeated teams left in the major leagues. Only two of them aren't Texas.
  19. Nice to see Martin pick up where he left off last year, and actually have the team score a run to get him a W.
  20. ESPN knows. This is the year.
  21. Was that a "pickup" line?
  22. Jayron will have to buy out the remaining Kearse #27 jerseys. That could cost hundreds.
  23. Pardons if posted earlier, but this mural apparently exists at a taco joint in Arlington.
  24. Just wait and buy them off of disappointed Ohtani fans.
