    To clarify: "anywhere agave grows in Mexico" you will find Mezcal. If agave grows there, mexicans are making mezcal with it, regardless of the DO rules. 

    Gotcha.

    When I was in Oaxaca, a couple of times a shady street dude would offer to sell me some “mezcal”.  Felt like some dude was offering me coke.  Obviously no way of knowing if it was legit or not.

    100 days out,  ESPN takes a shot at what to watch in the upcoming season.  Teams on the rise, key games, new coaches, lots of Texas, GA, OSU, AL.   What I didn't see was a single mention of an AM player, coach, team or game of interest,  other than when they play us.  Little Brother is properly back in the corner with their shine box.  

    You need to audit better.

    Mezcal - can be any agave from anywhere, baked/roasted/steamed/microwaved or whatever

    Not sure I agree with you…

    Internationally, mezcal has been recognized as an Appellation of Origin (AO, DO) since 1994.[31][32]There is also a Geographical Indication (GI), originally limited to the states of Oaxaca, Guerrero, Durango, San Luis Potosí, Puebla and Zacatecas. Similar products are made in Jalisco, Guanajuato, Michoacán, and Tamaulipas, but these have not been included in the mezcal DO.[32]

    Within Mexico, mezcal is regulated under Norma Oficial Mexicana (NOM) regulations, originally NOM-070-SCFI-1994 (in 1994), by the industry body Consejo Mexicano Regulador de la Calidad del Mezcal A.C. (COMERCAM, the Mexican Regulatory Council for Mezcal Quality). This regulation became law in 2003, and certification began in 2005.[33]

    I'm far from a dog expert, I made the same mistake and only learned about it after reading about the story.

    Agreed that I don't really see the need for a bird dog on a ranch, outside of frequent hunting "just because".

    Upland bird hunting is a big deal in the Dakotas, KS, NE, etc.  Selling bird hunts is a nice way to supplement farming and ranching income.  Those bird dogs cover a lot of ground and do it very quickly.  For those of use that hunt, it’s a sight to behold seeing good bird dogs do their thing.

  5. I’ll cut her a little more slack on the goat. I’m assuming it wasn’t a pet and an old uncastrated goat probably does smell horrible.  She said it would piss on its own head to attract the ladies, and it was near impossible to get the smell out of the laundry.  And I can believe it probably did knock the children around.  So I guess if you decide to get out of the goat rearing business…

    But she decided to kill the goat because she was on a rampage with the dog, and it was a stupid idea to put the story in a book.

    We give WAY too much credence to free speech in this country. We tiptoe around fascism lest we be accused of suppressing free speech. I get laughed at every time I suggest it, but there really needs to be a distinction between media and press in this country. Press is facts, media is opinion. It's as simple as that. And I'd go so far as to say that there would need to be disclaimers before media shows saying that the content they are about to see is opinion, not fact. I get some applause and some ridicule every time I suggest it, but we're too dumb to leave it the way it is. Propaganda is tearing this country apart and it's being spearheaded by a fucking Australian, South American and the president of Russia. Neither motherfucker is american, in my eyes. They married into the family and we should be able to kick their kind out. But that's just me.

    Slight addition…

    Now that Barron has been named a delegate, he's fair game for the press, right?

    And is he even a Florida resident?   I thought he and his mom lived in New York.

    Correct. He has entered the political arena. 

    The boy is probably just a pawn being used by daddy and his crazy half-siblings and will likely just dutifully cast his vote for the great orange one.

    He should still be off limits until he opens his mouth and spews the usual Trump propaganda.

    I bet his followers have some leftover Ivermectin for that.

    Oh there are Twitter posts revalidating the magic of Ivermectin after this news came out.  Some have tried to point out its effectiveness on worms vs a virus but these idiots are sticking with their preconceived notions and whatnot.

    She’s not talking about that meeting that never happened.

  10. To be fair, a lot of kids would love to go to UT, my nephew included.  Both his parents went to UT as well as  three uncles and two aunts.  But UT was harder to get into than when I and his father were admitted.  He graduated from a prestigious private HS in Houston but wasn’t the crème de la crème.  
    So he went to Arkie because some of his buddies in a similar situation in HS were going there.  He is not dumb.

    i wouldn’t have gotten into Texas today…ok maybe I’m dumb.

    RNC spokesperson Danielle Alvarez said in a statement to CNN that Spies stepped down due to “potential time commitment conflicts.”

    Republicans can’t tell the truth to save their lives.  And to think I was one on them…many years ago.
