    That’s the FISD Administration Building on Ohio Dr.
  2. I’ve had some experience with: LSD Mescaline (from Peyote buttons) Mescaline (synthesized) Psilocybin MDMA In my experiences real MDMA is the best one to do with someone you love. Lasts about as long as shrooms but not as long as the others. For me it’s similar to Mescaline, visuals not as intense as the others but has a tactile element that is missing from the all the others.
  3. Yeah, remember this? “A look back at the Plano heroin crisis, 20 years later” https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/plano-heroin-crisis-20-years-later/287-aa66547d-943f-43a4-929e-d7a2efde22ec
  4. At least we are getting a new on this year. https://www.keranews.org/texas-news/2022-10-14/we-need-more-places-for-texans-to-go-palo-pinto-highlights-state-efforts-to-invest-in-new-parks
  5. Nowadays, however, it’s no longer a secret. Fentanyl dominates the drug supply on the West Coast, and increasingly across the country. Powdered fentanyl, along with methamphetamine, are about all you can find here on Wall Street, said Meakin; and even the methamphetamine is likely to be cut with fentanyl. As for the blues, they’re still out there, but they are fooling fewer and fewer people. “People are consuming them with full knowledge they are fentanyl, not oxycontin,” said Emanuel Sferios, founder of DanceSafe, who has closely tracked the opioid epidemic, referring to the time-release version of oxycodone. “Many -- if not most -- illicit opioid users these days know they're consuming fentanyl.” So evolved is the market that fentanyl has finally developed a nickname, at least in Southern California: “Fetty.” “Fetty is like another name for fentanyl,” said Mary Schafer, a former user based in San Diego. “No one really says ‘fentanyl.’ ‘You got fetty?’ It doesn't sound so bad when you say it in public.” Mexican organized crime groups may have noted the change. They are now churning out multi-colored “rainbow” M30 pills, which are showing up in drug busts around the country. It’s unlikely many users believe the rainbow pills are a legitimate pharmaceutical product and the DEA says it is a cunning way to attract younger users. The nickname also demonstrates that many American users, perhaps the majority, now realize when they’re consuming illicit fentanyl. Up until now, the fentanyl crisis was largely characterized by users being unaware that fentanyl was adulterating drugs like heroin, cocaine, methamphetamine, and counterfeit pills. Fentanyl is still adulterating those drugs, but for the first time, most American users seem to realize it, particularly when it comes to opioids like heroin and pills like oxycodone. “I’m sure it’s more now -- people who know they’re taking fentanyl -- than it was before,” said Steve Campman, chief medical examiner for San Diego County. https://insightcrime.org/news/deception-demand-us-fentanyl-users/
  6. For a duo David Hidalgo and Louie Pérez have a pretty impressive catalog. Also, has Lucinda Williams been mentioned?
  7. Yup. They played with Killbilly near the end of their run. They were a great band with a lot of talent. First time I saw Rhett he was singing folk songs in front of some Cafe on Elm Street. Next time I saw him was at the Killbilly farewell show at Clearview. The ended their show with a sizzling cover of Anarchy in the U.K. followed by Allen Wooly absolutely shredding on a cover of Little Wing.
  8. Best? I dunno, but what about Gary Louris? Collaborated with Mark Olson on most songs on The Jayhawks first four albums, and wrote most of them on the last seven. Wrote songs for Nickel Creek, Dixie Chicks and, I think Golden Smog. Extra points for being a great singer and underrated guitar player.

    Grammys

    Never watch awards shows. Don’t know why I’m watching this, but the performances so far have been pretty good.
  10. You can buy a sapling here if in stock https://legendarytrees.com/shop-trees/ I bought a seedling 15 years ago and donated it to our local Heritage Museum for Arbor Day. It was some special deal from American Forestry Association I think.
  11. Wow. I thought I was the only one who had one of those. Mine was a two door coupe in dark blue. My dad was a service mgr. for a Toyota dealer. Obviously I was much sportier than you. Mine was actually a pretty nice little car.
  12. Thanks. Should have said live national coverage.
  13. Timeline transcript between Mission Control and Columbia. https://spaceflightnow.com/shuttle/sts107/timeline/
  14. May 27th a Bell 407 working on the recovery crashed in the Angelina National Forest. Two of the crew died.
  15. Surprised a lot Texans don’t remember this. 7 astronauts killed and debris and body parts scattered all over East Texas. Sticks with me because I heard it, felt it and saw it. Of course Challenger was a take off carried live on all major networks. Also wasn’t it the first time a civilian went up? Columbia was caught live on some local D/FW stations. The recovery process for Columbia was also reported on and went on for a long time.
  16. About this time 20 years ago I was sitting in my home office checking HornFans. The house shook and the dogs started barking. I heard a muted “boom” as I walked out the front door. I looked up northeast and saw it streaking toward the southeast. In pieces. https://www.wfaa.com/article/news/local/space-shuttle-columbia-disaster-20-years-later/287-ac346e6f-3c5d-4352-9f6e-14a807f589e9
  17. Yeah it was a helluva show. Fripp was using the pseudonym “Dusty Rhodes” at the time. After two encores we were still screaming for more. The came back out and Gabriel said they hadn’t learned anymore songs and wanted to know if they could repeat something. So the did. 18 years later I saw Richard Lloyd again. This time at the Caravan of Dreams with Matthew Sweet on his “Girlfriend” tour. He was incredible and seemed to be having the time of his life.
  18. I’m trying to figure out how viewing that would actually harm a high school kid.
