    Oldies

    I could go for days, so will try to limit myself. Back when I was around 10 or so (1976), we got this collection, 4 record box, actually bought one off of ebay a couple of years ago, still holds up. Also, when I was in high school, there was a mail order company called Sound Choice. Had a catalog with tons of 50's and 60s songs, you could pick 12 for like 5 buck or so, send your order in and they would send you a cassette back with your songs on it. Really cool. (Stupid formatting, since I can't insert images and then keep typing, I'll add some of my favorite tunes in a separate post...)
  2. Keep going..: after an afternoon of drinking in the pool followed up by pizza and beer at Tony C’s, sweet tooth is calling
  3. I would plow that shit, lots of good Czechs in Nebraska, same goes for pasties, had quite a few this summer in the UP.
  4. Choo choo ch-boogie. Boogie back to Texas. Schedule and map are out now. From Hearne to Houston will get two chances to see Big Boy coming and going. https://www.up.com/heritage/steam/schedule/index.htm
  5. I love the note “exact route will be shared day of event”. I live in Taylor, it took me all of 5 seconds to figure out exactly which roads they’re gonna take…
  6. Back when we first moved to Taylor, I could get home from work in Austin at 6pm, and still go through the drive thru at Rudy Mikeska's, get 4 chopped beef sandwiches for $10 or a family pack- lb of brisket, lb of sausage, potato salad, beans and half a loaf of white bread, pickles and onions (and real onions, fuck the purple pickled shit places serve nowadays) for $25. Definitely good times.
  7. She's dead. Wrapped in plastic.
  8. There's a rail park on the edge of Taylor, that's where Tesla ships all their cars from. I'll have to drive out there in the next few days and take a pic of the hundreds of Telas and cybertrucks just sitting there in the parking lot, been there for months.
  9. 45 rpm single version by the way in this case the teacher is also the fat psychopathic wife

  12. Out of state you mean? No. Just north of Austin, sure, we were in Ennis last month and have a few Oktoberfest dates in Round Rock, Taylor, etc later this year.
  13. Yep. My polka band is one of the few pure brass bands left in Texas, we've been told many times that we have a very mariachi sound. Love it.
  14. Being a brass player, I love banda. A lot or the modern stuff is synthesized unfortunately, but a real banda band just kicks ass, it's just insane
  15. and used so effectively here especially given the translation The Spanish lyrics use the image of a migrating swallow to evoke sentiments of longing for the homeland. It became the signature song of the exiled Mexicans
  16. Just like NowThis, taking a pounding up here in Taylor right now
  17. Just got back from a road trip to Wisconsin/UP. Headed home, stumbled upon the greatest place 10 year old me ever laid eyes on (of course the billboards every mile for 10 miles help draw you in...)
