  1. Has Nick Saban offered him yet? Oh wait....
  2. Here's what I don't get: in the US Army before I received my commission as an officer I was clearly informed and instructed the penalties for officers committing violations of the UCMJ were more severe and, in adjudication, almost always held to the maximum allowable than standard rank and file. Heavy handed punishment against officers who violated the legal code was appreciated by the Officer corps because it helped keep the ranks clean of scumbags. Why can't we have increased penalty codes that are specialized for all public servants?
  3. I have a personal/professional hatred of the woman (yes Hugo, I had to deal with her). She's an unapologetic egomaniac who is crass and underhanded that, yes, gets stuff done by everything short of criminal activity. Worse yet, her sledge hammer approach is amped up for the benefit of far left agenda items that are out of touch with moderate Americans. I miss the days of Tip O'Neill, there was a liberal Speaker who put America ahead of Liberal agendas (and got a LOT more done than Pelosi has). I wonder what he's looking at?
  4. Captain and Ginger Ale over ice, thank you.
  5. Having had both numerous times I can genuinely say I prefer: Hoody's.
  6. Checking in with a mini-mash version of my raspberry truffle (double chocolate raspberry stout sour) brewed this weekend. It was inspired by my wife's love of a 1/3 Framboise with 2/3 Young's Double Chocolate Stout. Target OG is 1.055 but I came in at 1.053. Next up is the Honey Hibiscus Wheat Farmhouse, prolly my favorite beer to brew.
  7. I believe knowledge content will be one of the first 'victims' of the information age (transitioning from the industrial age). It's interesting to muse over the fact that multiple generations will be the transitional witnesses to a genuine end of one age and rise of another (Greatest Gen'ers, Baby Boomers, X'ers - I would place Millennials as the first true generation of the Information age with only a tacit life in the industrial age).
  8. Fuck the landthieves, fuck them to hell.
  9. End of July? Normandy. Be sure to watch Saving Private Ryan with him before going.
  10. This thread is proof of why we can't have nice things. (casting another vote for Nirvana, by a Secretariat lead)
  11. Brat - I live right down 620 from you (Round Rock West), my wife and I will be keeping eyes out (we talk walks most days).
  12. Well, it ain't quite flight tracker but... http://observer.com/2018/04/jeff-bezos-private-jet-records-suggest-amazon-hq2-winners/
  13. Remote schooling via the OASIS. Seriously though, my last kid is graduating this Friday - if I were looking at another one doing 4-12 years I'd look up remote on-line education, so more than home schooling by leveraging connectivity for social aspect but keeping control of their safety and the content being taught.
  14. B. C. Fence, Dusty Brents 512 284-8716 / $$ / ** / solid fence at market price, Dusty knows his business and works to make it easy - excellent service. Anastasis: water conditioning is softeners, filters, ionizer and everything to condition water for potable use in your home.
  15. Does she have a Pinterest page already created for wedding rings, weddings, etc.?
  16. Interesting article from the Washington Post (owned by Bezos) that spends a great deal of time describing why the facade of the DC area isn't really so good for either AMZ or the people in the area. https://www.washingtonpost.com/local/how-can-the-dc-region-absorb-amazon-hq2-if-it-cant-cope-now-with-gridlock-and-housing-costs/2018/05/12/a175afb0-4991-11e8-8b5a-3b1697adcc2a_story.html?noredirect=on&utm_term=.f6c3c5686c61
  17. Mark Schlereth. I hated Service HS.
  18. As a Gen-X'er I always referred to that era as Generation PerpleXed. No /CR here but one thing I've noticed is that every generation up to and including Baby Boomers tended to become more conservative as they aged and ascended into power (government office, bureaucracy, etc.) - my observations of Gen X, however, seem to be less migration towards conservationism. It would be an interesting study to measure the political/social views of each generation and how they changed/migrated over time.
  19. Stearns and Foster, no pillow top. Preferably hand tufted instead of foam. Don't start at a specialty store (like mattress one), they're swine. Go to a department store to find the mattress you like (usually an older lady who admits she has no idea about mattresses). Once you find the mattress you and your spouse agree on - go to 2x specialty stores and play them off of one another.
  20. I'd swap TCU for OU and WVU for OSU. Tech wins 4, KK gets fired. KU gets 2.
  21. Pincham - see above, he might do 1 plug if he's got an opening.
