  1. First one is a gaboon. Huge head.
  2. Rhinoceros viper for the last one.
  3. Saw some cool snakes at Abilene zoo this morning. That king cobra they have is huge. I thought for sure I was seeing more than one snake in there. Nope. It just kept going and going. They’ve had some recent success in their breeding program with some threatened species. Some baby Mexican rattlers were on display. Tough to get good pictures behind the glass.
  4. They fucked around in a program to win a prize and then found out.
  5. Uh, when was the last time you walked by Blanton. Ain’t no contiguous pedestrian area anymore. Some rich fuck gave money and new shit is going in there. I’m talking between the main buildings of the museum. There’s still the grassy area by the rainbow igloo. Def agree on speedway. But considering how many hoops we jump through just to have a cocktail hour for faculty to “conduct research” at a symposium I doubt the school will ever open up speedway for tailgating.
  6. 2 weeks? 2 hours maybe.
  7. Dicker + Chive Make it happening as the Swedes say.
  8. (Probably)Dumbass on Twitter: “CDC, why are the signs wrong at the disch? It should be 37.”
  9. Under a friend’s trash can in Austin. What is it? Should he burn down the house and move?
  10. For a while the USF site said, “do it just like UT Austin fans.” Fwd that shit to Craig W. quick.
  11. I think you’re thinking of renter’s rights to see how their deposit was used by the owner instead of returned at the end of the lease. As long as the owner can show reasonable receipts for the amount kept then there’s not really anything you can do.
  12. He lived in callaway house in west campus while attending Columbia (remotely). Killed in car accident on the way to the gym. Was a goofy football player at west lake who dreamed of performing on Broadway. All excerpts from the obit. Not made up after consuming a bottle of whiskey.
  13. Met with Big Larry when I was a student org leader. His office was amazing. Floor to ceiling signed memorabilia on every wall. And about three doors down was a conference room stocked with sodas and bbq lunch every day. He told me he had just as much signed stuff at home if not more. Seemed to know everyone and always had a smile on his face. That’s the second longtime facilities manager/director we’ve lost in about a year or so with the other being longtime softball facilities manager Hal. Those guys told some great stories. An amazing thing about both was they could connect any random person with an athlete who passed through campus. “Oh, you went to Barber’s Hill? What year? They had a second baseman that year who played in the Austin regional for Directional college and nearly won the game, but Texas Player X made a great catch to end the game.”
  14. 4.2” in 3 hours by the airport
  15. Up to 12 feet now
  16. Shoal is at 9.68 feet at 12th
  17. That might explain why the construction trailer flew across the road in front of me on 71.
  18. All 60 people in the Facebook group? Didn’t notice.
  19. Moved my truck to the airport garage and pulled the cars into the garage. It won’t hail in Austin now.
  20. Buy mulch? I already pay for that in taxes. I just pick it up at Austin recycling. Takes a bit of work to load and unload but I get a truck bed full of mulch.
  21. My high school is doing a raffle to benefit scholarships. Two of the prizes are hunting related. Thought I would share. If this is not allowed please delete and ban me to purgatory. About 200 tickets left.
  22. Except for the tax. And did he have an OOEF in place? Better write a memo just in case. #fml
  23. Highest wind speed ever recorded/estimated using Doppler on Earth was between 300 and 320 mph. F5 goes up to 318 mph. The EF5 is anything over 200 mph. Neither the F scale or enhanced F scale go to 10. TORRO goes to 11 but only when shit gets real.
  24. For what Scoma’s charges the chowder better not be out of a can.
