  1. If they are rich as fuck, then they keep lower taxes with him in office. So they have that to gain/maintain. I can't stand the man, but I will say his tax cuts helped me quite a bit and I'm no where close to rich.
  2. Outside of Abilene coming back from Wyoming several years ago I hit a buzzard that was late getting off the road kill. Came off the front end, looked up and watched him go over the sunroof, then checked the mirror and watched him hit pavement. The next summer, within a couple of miles of that spot, wife was behind the wheel and hit one.
  3. The Oldsmobiles are in early this year.
  4. There is no way you can convince me those people are homeless for any reason other than their own choice.
  5. The 2008 would like to say hi. Left enough time for Crabtree to make his play.
  6. not sure the budget, but Privilege Aluxes has a two bedroom unit. Plenty of privacy between the two rooms.
  7. Play by the rules? The democrats are saying they'll reinvent the Supreme Court and stack it if Trump follows the Constitution and appoints a new justice. They love to make up new rules.
  8. Fall Guy - the Unknown Stuntman
  9. My son told us yesterday their were over 70 positives at Hardin last week and they are sending girls home.

    Yeah, it's all because of the police. It has nothing to do with the rest of society.

    That fact that there is zero respect for property and persons, including authority figures, is the reason we are in the shit that we are in.
  12. I never knew any of these people, as they died before I was born. My great grandma was shot 6 times by her first husband. A family friend heard the shooting and came to the house. He found her husband standing over her. When the sheriff showed up the husband had apparently shot himself in the head. And then put the gun in his pocket. My great grandma survived. She married the family friend and they had a son - my grandpa. It became common knowledge that the family friend shot the husband and put the gun in the pocket. So if true, my great grandpa may have been a murderer.
  13. Great idea and I'm in. Saved over 30 years ago.
  14. Seems to me resisting arrest is not a good idea.
  15. Interesting that as the school year approaches there's suddenly a huge rise in cases in kids.
  16. San Antonio bought bus tickets for homeless and sent them to Austin when the camping back got thrown out last year.
  17. Most of them should be at the state hospital already.
  18. That video needs to go to TCEQ, Governor, State Reps, news channels, etc. Fuck Adler and his minions.
  19. You are completely wrong on the SOS purpose - it had nothing to do with affordability at the time. It was to stifle development. The support for SOS and the environmental restrictions were from people that were not in the well-to-do neighborhoods. They were from older areas of south Austin, Oak Hill, and other areas that in the late 80's did not have the growth and gentrification they have today. It was Bill Bunch and Mary Arnold and Bridget Shea and others that simply wanted the City to stop development. The opposition to SOS came from those white neighborhoods as you call them - that's where the developers, builders, members of the real estate community lived. They fought SOS tooth and nail. Affordability wasn't even thought about then because Austin was still in the midst of the 80's bust. As the project that got scuttled, if it was planned it would have been built. EV restrictions do not impact planned projects - they are grandfathered. Now if it was in the planning process and didn't meet the development requirements in the code at the time, then it would not have been built. And the environmental restrictions on the east side 20 years ago were, and in many cases still are, less restrictive than other areas of the City. 20 years ago a lot of the east side had development incentives by way of being part of the desired development zone which had such things as reduced fees, higher impervious cover allowances, smart housing possibilities, and so forth. Lastly, Tarrytown has been built out for decades. The EV regulations have had little impact there other than for tear downs and rebuilds.
  20. I don't know. Seems when spankings were still ok kids grew up more respectful than they are now in the orange slices for everyone world.
  21. Aren't hands around the neck, not on the chin, involved in choking?
  22. After the debacle of students not even being able to get into games last year before the middle of the second quarter, many aren't even opting for tickets according to our son.
  23. Wasn't it mid-June, 2 weeks after the protests started up, that the numbers started spiking? They were staying fairly level to that point.
  24. Wife and I are thinking the same thing, though probably about half as long. May push further into Sept. to catch the leaves starting to change.
  25. With the irreparable damage we are doing to kids by going on line, why not just postpone the start 6 months or a year and try to get them in the classroom? Disadvantage children - poor, minority - are going to suffer if it goes online. Their parents will be at work (or looking for work) and won't have the time to make sure they are getting online, their parents won't care if they get on or not, the kids will skip it, or will have to find work to help make ends meet, etc. The percentage that will actually do what they are supposed to do is not great. And the education they will recieve online vs. in person is very poor.
