  1. .6 inch of rain to start a Sunday. I’ll take it.
  2. It’s going to happen just too late. There are changes happening just not enough. China EV adoption rate and their clean energy projects are very impressive, as an example. Europe and US initiatives are accelerating as well. Industry innovation is extremely promising. We could ban petroleum plastic bags now and go with fully biodegradable bags. There is tons of technology waiting to be relied upon. But in the end, as we humans do, we react way too late to the problem. These solutions are 20 years too late and soon to be 30-50 years too late.
  3. Our desert landscape hates me right now. Yuccas be like wtf you told us there would be no rain?
  4. Same reasons humans are bad for the environment except the dog per se isn’t the problem - we are and we have too many, we feed them meat and the dog food industry is disgusting. dogs or no dogs is not where this battle gets won. It gets won on innovation, mass migration away from carbon based energy (electricity and fuel), new and improved energy storage techniques, carbon capture and sequestration, and elimination of petroleum based plastics. There is more but if we do that we are well on our way and our dogs keep getting belly rubs and treats. we already have the answers for most of this, what we lack is political will. Individual will won’t get it done, as much as we each try, it’s got to be governmental and industry initiatives and mandates. coming at people for having dogs is simply barking up the wrong tree.
  5. Gorgeous, lust worthy, high maintenance and expensive?

    2024 NFL DRAFT

    First I’m like damn we must a been good, then I remember semis in the CFP, wow. Then I think but 11 drafted? Then I remember we played to win at the end and had one play gone right the horns are in a favorable match up gainst Michigan. Double wow, we back baby?!
  7. I think it’s pretty simple really, social media and video games are fun and easy. Next thing you know the girls not only aren’t interested they don’t even know you exist. Then the self reinforcing doom loop begins. this weekend - one son is helping us build garage shelves and he’s as good or better with tools than my GC wife and does the tik tok thing for 10 mins and puts it down, another is video gaming for hours (he did practice for and have a competition for band today), but guess which one has the most game? Guess which one has had 3 girlfriends?
  8. After my divorce I had a few albeit fleeting thoughts about being the third in a threesome. My gf at the time - now wife - was like do what you gotta do just don’t get a STI. Decided against it but it made for some fun thought life for a while. I have no doubt I could have fucked as many couples as I could handle. Folks are kinky out there. I landed on the plain vanilla suburban lawyer mom role. Seems to work well for me.
  9. Yep though that was first wife for sure now working from home it’s more of a leave me alone don’t come talk to me vibe.
  10. I did have to do some training. I’m working, I bill by the hour, every minute you spend talking to me is another minute I have to stay later working. First wife was dialed in on it, second one 7 years into is now fully trained.
  11. Before smart phones it was easier. My first wife was pre smart phones we would go a full day without talking sometimes while we were dating. My current wife and I started dating in the smart phone era, connected multiple times a day, but as adults with work it was manageable. Different but manageable.

    LBGTQ

    I’m parroting his position basically.
  13. My 16 year old has had 3 girlfriends already. His sex life isn’t any of our business - though I do the mom part pretty well here - but in any event he’s not super interested at this moment - reason? High school girls are needy as fuck according to him. He can’t have a moment alone and she’s always blowing up his phone.

    LBGTQ

    Can’t allow trans folk to be mainstream it’s ok. As long as we keep it to ourselves it’s fine. And drag seems like it’s just a show so there’s no reason to allow it.

    LBGTQ

    I’m honestly not sure what you’re trying to communicate about her? Might you further explain?

    LBGTQ

    So I’m confused…. Do I have to wear make up or not? Am I allowed to fish and what not? Can I keep my truck? Am I allowed to wear lacey underthings for my wife? How am I supposed to throw a ball? Governor Abbott please do tell…
  17. My answers? Disch Falk on a weeknight … Cactus Cafe for singer songwriter magnificence (used to be one of the only smoke free spots in town), and lake Travis at dusk… the legacy of what these three spots mean in my life will likely keep me here or at least close if we have to leave for a long long time.
  18. Geez are you in my head? Though we prefer him at the hill country galleria these days. #40dogs is my signature shout out to my lady. Like good times that haven’t happened yet but will.
  19. Ok I wasn’t going to quote your pics but deep dish savage on whole wheat is one of the best pizzas I’ve ever had. Sure a lot of nostalgia but still great.

    Wine

    I’ve said fuck all to Texas wine for years. Like two decades at least. Spicewood Vineyards is pretty damn good. We had the wine country itch Sunday and said fuck it let’s go drink swill. Had a GREAT Cab Franc, a Cali Pinot he made with Cali grapes, and their Viognier which is fucking legit. first pic is the Pinot, second is the cab franc. viognier is sleeping in the wine storage till it’s hot as balls.
