Its happening (stadium renovations)
Speaking of skating rinks...I was disappointed when one day I was riding my bike over the vacant lot where the trucks would illegally dump construction fill which was honed into ramps and curves and other cool 1970's bike stunt shit, and the next day, was stripped clean in preparation for Playland Skating Rink which I think opened in 1974. We called the vacant lot the "Humpities" . Humpities you had a good run RIP 1974-1974.

How did I miss this? Hope he is up there with Belushi in that big steam bath in the sky, getting "a piece of the gig". RIP Maury Sline.- Netflix Recommendations
2nd this. A lot of of good and overlooked info in there. It reminded of a book titled something like: Things Your History Teacher didn't Tell You. Which pointed out how much whitewashing American history textbooks have done over the decades. More actual facts than some of Stone's conjecture.- Renewable Energy Saving Texas' Ass Right Now

I feel your pain being a 50 something white dude who owns a construction company, drives a truck, dips some Skoal, and enjoys hunting and fishing. I had to stop wearing red of any kind. Also, despite the above demographic, I am labeled as that "commie hippy liberal from Austin who went to that commie hippy school" when I go fishing with my Houston buddies. I always tell them, "yeah that bastion of free thinking that is the Red McCombs College of Business". Also a CPA, so I also get the tax side of things as well. Ah Ziggy, will you ever win?- Downtown Projects
Can barely see the top of Frost Tower, once the tallest building in the city. Second picture doesn't even have Rainey St. buildings.- WTF! Eating Freshwater fish equal to drinking a month's worth of water laced with PFOS
All true. I was addressing it's quality as table fair had it not been polluted.- Who Are Your March Madness Legends?

Yes. The wild freshwater catfish in general has been unfairly maligned, no doubt due to its association with farm raised and saltwater (hard head) varieties. It has also gotten a reputation as a bottom trash feeder, due to its opportunistic and versatile ability to not be too picky in a pinch and feed on dead bait, but make no mistake, the humble catfish is one of the most aggressive live bait predators in the river or lake.- The Climate thread
Not gonna be the best thing for other living things.- "The Holdovers" -- new Alexander Payne/Paul Giamatti movie
Great movie. Cross between Dead Poet Society, Who's Afraid of Virginia Wolf, and The Shining. Excellent filming like it was actually shot in 1970 except for the 3 point line thing and I believe the Dr. Pepper on the night stand was a little too current and the eye switch thing too. Acting was great and the setting was like another world in a time gone by like The Godfather, The Lord of the Rings, or an Old Jamea Bond film. It will join my Xmas rotation. 4.5 Die Hards out of 5.- True Detective: Night Country (Season 4)
I haven't been keeping track that closely, but I think this is the first time you have ever been right. I feel lost now somehow.- Looks like we will have to say goodbye to V'Ger 1. She's obeying commands but hasnt returned readable info in 3 months....

I was responding to the quote only did not see anything about changing the skyline, which Trump org definitely did not do. The only reason I know anything about the remodels, is that most of them involved Trumpco cheating on the billing/tax abatements etc.- Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty Guilty
He did some pretty extensive remodels back in the day, some of which were harder than starting from scratch.- The Surly Road Cycling Thread
Yeah, I had a gxp bb in with my old 11 speed set up, but changed it out to update. The good news is, if I ever decide to go electronic, all I will need is the shifters and rear derailleur for the xplr set up. Thanks anyway.- The Surly Road Cycling Thread

Interested in the power meter. Tell me more. I am running dub bb with the whole 1x12 speed flat chain deal. Force.- True Detective: Night Country (Season 4)
Went and watched season 2 since I skipped over it on account of bad reviews. I actually liked it. Good character insight and back story, cinematography actually made sense and advanced the industrial theme, complicated enough plot to warrant the number of episodes etc. Some ridiculous and far fetched twists aside it was not a bad watch. It was no season 1, but on par or better than 3, and certainly better than whatever is going on in season 4.- Steve McMichael (Mongo) Suffering with ALS - now HOF Bound
