  1. We got what had to be around 3+ inches at our house (rain gauge broke the other day, so that's an estimate). Was steady and we got some good standing water and runoff - the kind of stuff that would have been great for the lakes. Seriously, we're missing the target by just 40-50 miles, every damned time. LT went up only 500 a.f. yesterday. That's nothing. Every drunk pissing off their boat over the weekend would make it go up that much. It's frustrating as hell to watch.
  2. Eeew. No. That sounds racist-y. I mean, you were right, at least back in my day. But still…you should be ashamed of yourself.
  3. I get that. What I don’t get is that there is zero awareness of someone behind them flashing their lights and even honking at them.
  4. Just cracked open a fresh bag, had a small bowl plain, no salsa even, for a little salty snack. Don’t know how they make them so different, but they’re perfect.
  5. Then what, pray tell, do YOU think the primary factors are driving our inflation and GDP numbers?
  6. Yep…and then net that against each country’s projected GDP growth to get the whole picture (esp as they are partially companion measures). Most every economy would love our mix of inflation and GDP.

    Last night was the first game where AFC played like the better team pretty much the whole match. No big groaner mistakes or stupid lapses, just pretty sound football. That was the turn I’ve been looking for. Wins are great, but the last few have been because they were lucky. This one was because they were good.
  8. 1) I presume some sort of DEI initiative. 2) “Cunts” are one of the groups in the “needs diverse representation” class, right?
  9. Just remember that the more stridently someone says they’re a “CONSTITUTIONALIST _______,” the more they actually oppose the core requirements and terms of the actual Constitution. It’s fucking comical, and like clockwork.
  10. Raising a question… Glad someone asked.
  11. This. It’s all this. It’s how the fascists have taken power, every time - thanks to people like this. They don’t necessarily WANT their enemies tortured and disappeared, but ultimately…they’re ok with it.
  12. At least once a year, I get a call from a client contact or a client’s family member in a panic, and calling the lawyer they know, because they got a similar call. Sometimes, they have the caller still on the line. Last time that happened, I had them patch me in. At which time I let the caller give his pitch. When he was done, it told him that if he called the lady again, I’d take the time to find where he actually lives, beat him senseless the next time he walked out to his car in the morning, rip out his eyes, skull fuck him, and then burn his car. He sputtered, my client was appalled, and I told him that now is the part where he hangs up and never calls her again. He did. I told her not to worry and have a nice weekend. There was a nice bottle of bourbon on my desk as a thank you on Monday morning. I hate those fucking predators. I hate them so much.
  13. This is a thing now. I flash my lights at them, over and over…nada.
  14. She should be charged with making a false report. And as she accused the people around her of criminal conduct, they could also support a defamation claim.
  15. Good sir, I haven’t eaten at Pancho’s in…several weeks, I’m sure of it.
  16. Of course….the NEXT phase of that is that your wife never calls you….except when something really bad has happened. Now, when the phone rings during the day and I see it’s her, my instant thought is “oh shit…what’s broken/caught on fire/who died?”
  17. Duh. SorossocialistcommunistsleepyjoetransbathroomCRT!
  18. This. I understand and accept that there will be civilian casualties in most wars. It is the nature of war. But that does not excuse or allow for either 1) intentional targeting of civilians, or 2) reckless disregard of the risk to civilians. And seeing Israel’s conduct and the results of same - AND considering the statements of numerous Israeli officials SAYING that eliminating civilians is their goal - one of those two options is the only rational conclusion. Which makes Israel a state that is committing war crimes. A state can be justified in taking military action to defend itself: Israel is. A state can end up killing civilians incidental to its military action: Israel has. A state CANNOT murder civilians on purpose or indiscriminately: Israel has.
  19. We live near Conan’s, and it’s a fave. As is Top Notch. I dig our green belts, we live on one now. Hike it, hunt for fossils and arrowheads, listen to the water running. The Little Longhorn has changed, but it’s still a damned fine beer joint. The Asian food scene in this town has EXPLODED since we moved here 35 years ago, lots of great places now. Taco trailers on N. Lamar. And my old school barber shop, Bob’s, is up there too. There’s plenty to love in this town. Still…it ain’t paradise.
  20. I just opened my Twitter account (I genuinely don’t use it) for the first time in forever. Holy shit. The “for you” is just a cascade of insane right wing bullshit. I’m serious, that’s all it is. What a fucking cesspool.
  21. Truer words have rarely been spoken. It's a win-win. Hell, maybe y'all really end up hitting it off and stay together. People are meant to connect and enjoy each other's company. Relax, chill, and enjoy the ride in life. "I do a lot of reading. I wanted tonight to be good for you."
