  1. I’d say if you live a neighborhood zoned for Stratford and work at BP, COP, or Shell you got it figured out. Good schools K-12, easy commute, fun neighborhoods, some stuff to do nearby, and you’re close enough to the various entertainment districts.
  2. I’d argue there’s no such thing as a reverse commute in Houston anymore. 45, 59, and 10 are very busy in every direction from 730am to 10am and 330pm until after 7pm. If it touches a 610, Westpark, or Beltway entrance ramp there will be traffic. I drove the “reverse commute” from the Heights to Memorial City for about 6 years. I often worked out before work. If I wasn’t on I-10 by 730am, I was screwed. I left at 430pm everyday and traffic was always miserable. I live in Memorial now and commute to Greenway Plaza. Much better commute. I just never get on the interstates or 610. Any construction or even a lawn crew blocking a lane causes massive delays, but Briar Forest/San Felipe, Westheimer, and Richmond will all get you east/west. Many people in my office work the graveyard shift. 5am - 3pm. Katy guys swear by it, but if they don’t leave at 3 they’re cooked. They never attend happy hours, but hey they made their choice.

  4. Gotta make it look good to Toranaga’s surviving men because of course they’re going to report back to him.
  5. As Ishido stated on the show, Toranaga has other sons. Naga was his fourth son in the books. I believe the newborn boy is actually Toranaga’s first grandchild in the books. Toranga’s eldest son is his carbon copy and heir. He’s barely in the book and only appears in the final couple chapters. I don’t expect him to be on the show.
  6. Yes he was counting and timing out the attack.
  7. Regarding the second paragraph, this. But they’d have to film an additional episode most likely. I think the showrunners wanted to keep it very succinct at 10 episodes. More likely they were given a 10 episode budget.
  8. I think they need to get 2 starters in the second round. It’ll be too early for safety at 42, and I’m not sure there’s value for a safety at 59 either. I’d go corner at 42, and best available iDL or OG at 59. They can’t depend on Kenyon Green to do shit other than medically retire. Guard needs to get addressed in the second or third rounds.
  9. Another hope for next week.
  10. Peak Kim Basinger is seducing Garth into killing her husband if memory serves me correctly.
  11. Book readers and show watchers, is We’s Einstein joke in the books or did B&W write that? I’m pressed if they wrote that for the show. It’s a perfect analogy for 3 Body Problem. I started The Dark Forest. I don’t like the narrator as much. Some English guy. The pacing is a little jerky, but the Evans - San-Ti conversations are great. It’s pretty obvious the San-Ti didn’t need Evans when the Sophons reach Earth. I’m currently in the Wallfacers chapter. Pretty cool. I’m trying not to look ahead, but it’s clear The Dark Forest is building towards something big.
  12. Terrific episode. The ninja attack was a little rushed, but no complaints.
  13. Yeah, I could see SMU and maybe Coug High doing well in the portal. Especially if Texas continues to build a championship roster, and if Elko is allowed to run off 5 stars that don’t like to practice in Year 2.
  14. I think Israel is done. Iran has almost certainly moved anybody important into an embassy/consulate or back to Iran. And oh yeah, they need finish off Hamas and somehow restart their economy. I’d argue that couldn’t handle another war. US reluctance to fund it, and if they hit Iran, Hezbollah is going to hit them with everything they have. I doubt they want to open a new war on at least 2 fronts.
  15. I really liked what I saw him from at third yesterday.
  16. Just in case you forgot Kiper was washed, he had Jared Wiley in his top 100 today.
  17. Let’s be honest here. Bergman took the weekend off to grow that goatee.
  18. Saying he almost quit football several times in his Path to Draft profile Probably didn’t help either.
  19. The Daisy Jones pair is writing the screenplay. It seems like they’re doing all the right things.
  20. Foster skipping spring ball for the third year in a row is pretty, pretty good.
  21. I am loving the book. It addresses almost every question I have about the San-Ti. I strongly recommend reading it while we’re waiting for Season 2.
