  1. I like getting pizza at Vendetta's at Vail. We used to apres at Pepi's. Rod Powell was entertaining as the acoustic singer -- he could play just about any song you could name. He died of Covid. Had a lot of good times at Pepi's
  2. I do not hate any team. I will miss playing Iowa State, Oklahoma State, Kansas State, and maybe even Texas Tech (despite their fans). But us getting our three top rivals in conference plus games against a lot of other really good programs in the SEC is a huge win.
  3. “Vail? Nah, it looks like the guy who designed Wendy's went nuts in this place.”
  4. Your point about prisons and safety is well taken. They should be safe and not run by violent criminal gangs or have routine sexual assaults.
  5. A buddy of mine has a cabin on land cut. We do a duck and fishing cast and blast in November. It is heaven. Usually weather is perfect. I never see anyone back there.
  6. That 2012 A&M team could not defend the spread offense. Their defense was protected by playing in the SEC as it was largely plodding pro style offenses. They gave up 57 points to La Tech. VY's team would have scored every time it got the ball.
  7. Mike is a great guy. He started carrying Lone Star Light years ago because I asked him to during my drinking days. Now it's probably the top seller on Thursday $2 beer day. Goode Company restaurants are really good outside of their BBQ restaurants. Their BBQ is disgusting.
  8. I have a mini 14. It's fine. I use it as a truck/ranger gun when hunting. I cannot imagine paying $1k for one. You can get a much better rifle on an AR platform for that. Truthfully, half of that.
  9. The Great Gatsby? He was... uh... great!
  10. That's really scary. Good luck to you. I quit drinking more than two years ago. All aspects of life are better without booze. There are probably people on here who can help you a lot more than me. I read Allen Carr's quitting drinking the Easy Way. It worked for me.
  11. I know zero about Arkansas' academics. But that part of the state, Northwest Arkansas, is beautiful. A buddy of mine lives there because his company is a major Wal Mart vendor and that's his account. I love to visit. I am mid 40s. So the Arkansas rivalry never meant much to me.
  12. I like Carmel and Big Sur more than Napa if you're going to hit some countryside for a day or two outside SF. Really enjoyed lunch at Ventanas, which is right across PCH from Post Ranch Inn. Spectacular views from a cliff above the Pacific. And very reasonably priced. Liked Clint's place for dinner or Happy Hour, Mission Ranch in Carmel. And Le Biceclette for dinner in Carmel. That entire area south of SF Bay is pretty awesome.
  13. Tampering with mailboxes is a federal offense.
  14. Owens runs like he’s a pussy and afraid of contact.
  15. The issues facing HISD, the subject of this thread, are due to charter school political donations?
  16. HISD has been poorly run for my entire life. Is there any data on whether results have changed under Miles, be it positive or negative?
  17. I am just glad public school teacher organizations and unions stay out of politics and do not make political contributions to the very politicians they sit at the bargaining table with
  18. The counter-argument is if you have a girl who is athletic and likes golf. Wide open for scholarships. A lot of golfers are members of clubs. It does not cost much extra for the kids to play. And I would rather mine be at the club playing golf than doing a lot of other stuff.
  19. Golf is one sport if you play a lot you can get good. I used to shoot in the mid 70s routinely in college because I played a 2-3 times per week. Now I am happy playing bogey golf because I am lucky to play a couple times per month. Too many shots go out of bounds now and short game is rusty. When I retire, I plan on playing a lot.
