  5. I just informed by brother in law of the passing. He's from Archer City and sort of friendly with McMurtry. He told me a two things. 1) he just bought first editions of Horseman, Pass By and two other books I can't remember and left them at the book store because the librarian said she'd have Larry sign them. Doesn't know if he ever got around to it; 2) he was in Tucson and reached out to him for lunch just a few months ago and McMurtry said he couldn't meet up because of COVID. What an absolute bummer.
  6. cheerful in all weathers. never shirked a task.
  7. I’ve got some bad news for you. Even when McMurtry was writing novels set in Los Angeles or Las Vegas or Washington, D.C., Texans were always a part of the narrative. He wrote of a former rodeo cowboy who became a womanizing antiques dealer (Cadillac Jack) and an erstwhile University of Texas football player who later became a Hollywood striver (Somebody’s Darling). Just before he fell ill, he was working on two more Texas-based stories—one a western based on the life of the cattleman Charles Goodnight, and the other a modern-day novel of manners about a Fort Worth socialite. (He never published them.) For all of the acerbic criticism of mundane Texas life and literature that marked his essays, the man loved Texans, big and small. https://www.texasmonthly.com/arts-entertainment/larry-mcmurtry-death/amp/?utm_source=Twitter&utm_medium=Social&utm_campaign=Web Social&utm_content=LarryMcMurtryObit&__twitter_impression=true

  10. i cannot get the real press, like alex jones and what not, and instead have to rely on scrubs like NBC to trumpet my story! and this is a glass ceiling in the alt right corporate structure, of which i am putting my nose to the grindstone trying to rise through the ranks! are two wrinkles i did not see coming from this.
  11. Ranking of countries based on number of Fast and Furious movies 1. USA Last. All others (tied)
  12. If we werent gambling with the future of democracy, I’d be interested to see the final math on how effective this voter suppression is. It just seems to me that the ire this is going to get from most Democrats and moderates is going to outweigh the actual effectiveness of preventing Democrats from voting.
  13. Sounds like we got a Keep America Great voter.
  14. Very cool now. A ton of boats decided to sail around South Africa
  15. i'd pay good money to see a dude fight red octopus-looking meatball shooters. oscar bait, imo.
  16. Is this the part of the Suez where it makes a hard right out of nowhere? Yeah, I think so. Full rudder starboard! Surprised they decided to dig the ditch like that.
  17. I’m a little concerned because mine drags along the ground when I walk, which invariably gets some pollution on it.
  18. I feel like I remember this exact hypothetical from contracts and the answer was it could be refused as payment, but I can’t remember why.
  19. I see South Austin’s mom is a woman of science.
  20. looks like a lot of the ships have given up and started going other routes.
  21. that'd get you in trouble in high school ball
  22. /a spark of inspiration enters Gordon Lightfoot’s head
  23. I feel like you could do something interesting with wwii
  24. So that’s how it is in your family.
