  1. The contract I signed says what I will and will not do on my property. Seems like it's none of their business what I do on a public road that is out of their jurisdiction. Assuming I abide by the laws of the folks that govern that road, I should be good.
  2. Searched and couldn't find a similar topic. Curious for some input from the attorneys on the board... Every New Year's and 4th of July I get an email from our HOA reminding us that fireworks are outlawed in the CC&Rs and that they can fine people who are found in violation. Forget about the fact that they aren't going to send people around to actually attempt to enforce this rule, nor could they be sure which home is in violation if people are in the street, my question is if they did come around to catch people and could identify which home those people lived in, are they legally allowed to try to enforce it? Here are some facts about where I live: 1. It is not a gated community, and the HOA does not own any of the roads in the neighborhood. 2. Fireworks are not banned where I live 3. There is no burn ban in effect Seems to me if people shoot them off in their driveways, then maybe it becomes enforceable. But lighting them in the street, where there are no restrictions by the county, means the emails are just empty threats. They couldn't enforce the fireworks clause even if they wanted to.
  3. We've been in Driftwood for almost 8 years and absolutely love it. We live in one of the neighborhoods off 1826. Bit of elbow room with a 1 acre lot, lots of house for the money, and I can avoid 290 most of the time. We're not next to anything, but we're 15-20 minutes away from pretty much anything we want. And so far we've had a good experience with the schools, but my oldest just finished 1st grade. Home prices have gone up a bit in the time we've been here, but you can still get a really nice house and lot for $600k. One downside is I pay 2.7% property tax. And 1826 is definitely getting busier, but it doesn't feel unsafe like some stretches of 290. It's just overrun by drivers going 40-45mph in a 55mph zone. PM me if you have any specific questions.
  4. I have no idea why that made me laugh so hard but it did. Flashdance was totally unexpected.
  5. FIFY
  6. They own the land and have for a while. The fact that Nutty Brown is fully shutting down this year tells me it's only a matter of time.
  7. The trend is to built bigger and bigger stores, but my hope is when they finalize the plan for an HEB where Nutty Brown Cafe sits on 290/Nutty Brown Rd., they opt for something smaller. There are a ton of beautiful oak trees on that property, and frankly sitting out back was the highlight of a trip to the restaurant. The food was always mediocre at best. A smaller, boutique HEB with a beer garden, playground, and quick to-go options would probably kill it in that location.
  8. I believe the joke you were looking for was: "be sure to drink your ovaltine"
  9. I can't stop laughing at this. What the hell was his plan if he actually got off the ground? There's nothing but tall pine trees around him. I actually think his crash was the best possible outcome.
  10. "Why don't you just TELL me the name of the movie you selected" I quote this quite often. The sales people in our company have a hard time selling anything unless it's much cheaper than our competition. It's a real pain in the ass. The joke on the business side is "Why don't you just TELL me the price you can sell this for".
  11. There's a lot going on in this one with no actual words spoken. Kid in the middle goes from "how YOU doing?" to "I need to tell my friend to check out this chick--nevermind the dipshit isn't even paying attention" and back to "how YOU doing?" Kid on the right is straining to use his peripheral vision to check out the the hot chick, then finally gives up and starts staring.
  12. Goddammit that ass-eating dog got me.
  13. Literally just discovered Bosch on Friday. Made it through Season 1 so far. Really enjoying it.
  14. Well what was the right answer?
  15. And a separate card for spiders.
  16. Stop the presses. Do you not have to wait in another security line for a connecting flight if you do it your way? I fucking hate that security check up the escalators from the International baggage claim. No pre-check, usually at least a 10 min wait, then you have to pull everything out of your bag and get undressed. I always assumed I'd have to wait in a security line if I went a different way, and I figured it wouldn't end up savings any time since it would take me a while to get to the other security check anyway.
  17. I learned something new today. Daylon Mack lived up to his billing. OK.
  18. I don't think I've ever had anything other than exquisite service and food at Uchi. I'm certainly not a regular, but I've been 7-8 times, which is enough to see a good trend.
  19. That's disappointing to hear. I haven't been there in 3-4 years, but every time I ordered the tasting I felt like they forgot it was supposed to be a tasting portion. Every course was like 1/2 of a reasonable sized dish. Always left stuffed.
  20. How many of you people laying down the law about this call Guadalupe "Guadaloop"? Really grinds my gears.
  21. FIFY Then the followup "But that doesn't make it right." Agreed, but it does make you a dumbass.
