2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
-4 in Waco that day. 1983 in Waco strikes me as being colder than that, but it was not. However, the fact that it was 7 degrees and my truck had no heater and shabby weather stripping probably had something to do that.

2020-21 Winter weather; bring it on
Preferred nomenclature is 'soda water' or 'sodie water' for the unwashed. Down in Kyle, things have been iced over for a couple of hours. Just had a brief power outage.

Florida Key Recommendations?
Bahia Honda is a great place to snorkel off the beach. John Pennekamp Coral Reef State Park is good. Just up-voting these previously recommended places. If you have a day (or most of a day) Dry Tortuga is a good excursion and worth the time. We have stayed at the Sheraton on the Atlantic Side in Key West. They had a shuttle running to Duval area. Stayed at a Hampton Inn on the Gulf side in Key Largo. There was a canal close by that manatees swam up and down. We stayed at an older hotel on Duval street, built in the 20's but I can't recall the name of it. It was great for convenience. The vibe down there on Duval street is worth the trip. Lots of folks just hitting bars and drinking without all of the alcohol fueled dipshittery you would find on 6th street. Also, the beach at Fort Zach provided for some great ,um, scenery. Lot's of fit European women there on one of my trips.

I think I may have Covid-19 thread - 2 confirmed cases
Friend of mine from Waco died this past Sunday from COVID-19. He was overweight. 56 years old. Sucks. He was good friends with my brother-in-law... grew up around the corner from one another. His older brother was a good friend of mine before he died in a plane crash back in 85. Survived by wife and 3 kids, an older sister and two younger brothers. I feel worse for the siblings since they have been through this before. He is the first person relatively close(circle of family and friends) to me that I know that has died from this.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
The legal name is 'The Woodlands'. I seem to remember seeing Spring on some mail addressed to me a few times,though.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
Years ago, I worked for a guy who would talk about going to the woodlands to visit in-laws. I would always illicit a WTF look from me. It took a few times of him mentioning it to realize it was indeed 'The Woodlands'. I ended up living there for 8 years at some point.

Texas basketball 2020-21: Not even Shaka can fuck this up...right?
Obligatory... Fuck the Big XII. Looks like pollsters had some sense about the situation. Re: Craig Way Before the big TV contracts for college football, you pretty much were stuck listening to the Esso\Exxon Radio Network sponsored radio broadcasts. I grew up listening to Frank Fallon on Saturday nights in the fall. I consider Fallon to be one of the GOATs. Schoening and Way are in that same realm. Way calls UT games like he is calling a High School Championship game. He pretty much keeps any bias he has in check. The only time that *I* have heard him have a 'WTF' moment was the 2015 Okie State game. I can get why people might turn him off from 10-12, but when it is game time, we are fortunate to have him calling it from our broadcast booth.

Tim Burton's Batman/Batman Returns...
I will still watch Batman. I remember when they cast Keaton as Batman, there was a bit of a rhubarb about it. He was good enough for me for *that* movie. That being said, BR and the rest from that time frame are not worth the time at all.

- Sports Card Collecting
Just stumbled on this thread. The MJ rookie card stings. Had a chance to buy it or a Joe Montana RC... who knew. Still have the Montana RC. Any of y'all buy or sell? I have some RCs like Jerry Rice, Earl Campbell... 84 Topps with Marino, Dickerson, Elway RCs, 89 Score with Barry Sanders, Aikman RCs First year of Hoops smattering of other brands and odd collections First Beckett for Basketball with MJ on the cover. I always hear about E-bay as the way to go as far as selling. Seems like shops only care about flavor of the month type stuff. BTW...used to have an decent collection of baseball cards but my ex tossed them in the bottom of a storage room which was eventually flooded. Brett and Yount RCs that I bought as a kid were in there.- The movie you just watched
Again...- That perfect song and why it is so
The Carrie Underwood version...man. My wife's maternal grandmother was a devout Southern Baptist, every time the door is open she was in church, lady. This was her favorite hymn. In the winter of 94, I moved my family of four to the Colorado Apartments on Lake Austin Blvd from Waco, Texas. This was so I could get an undergrad degree at Texas. My wife was the main bread winner making around 20K a year at the time. Her grandmother, Nanny H., was pretty much our benefactor. She sent my daughters money and when things were underwater, she covered us. When we moved from the Colorado to Brackenridge Apts (from a 2 to 3 bedroom) she bought us a washer and dryer and continued to cover us when necessary. A few years later, I graduated and within two weeks of me landing a permanent job, she passed away. Every time we look back on that experience, we always say 'Thank God for Nanny H.' My daughters honored her by playing this hymn at their weddings. I still tear up every time I hear this song or anytime I play it and say 'Thank God for Nanny H.' As you were...- Oklahoma lawmaker proposes ‘Bigfoot’ hunting season
Texas, given its size and land area, has over two times the amount of Bigfoot sightings, btw. https://www.bfro.net/GDB/default.asp- Off the record, on the QT, and very hush-hush
Go back to Jersey, sonny. This is the City of the Angels and you haven't got any wings.- The movie you just watched
The Vanished = the plague.- Hank Aaron - RIP
Remember when he broke the record. What a moment. My FIL followed his Minor(Jacksonville, Fla) and Major League field religiously. He corresponded with Aaron and he(FIL) had a signed framed letter hanging in the pool room for decades.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
Landing K9i would be awesome.- Sark after dark COACHING STAFF thread
I feel like we are Andy Dufresne and we have spent 11 years crawling threw the sewage drains and we can see light... at least until football season starts.- CFP National Championship: Alabama vs Ohio State
Aggy reminds me of when Daingerfield won state in 83. Daingerfield beat Robinson 22-0 in Area. It was the closest game that the Tigers played on their way to the state championship. At the State Championship game, there were a couple of Robinson kids walking around with a banner in the stands basically proclaiming Robinson should be number 2 in the state because they only lost by 22.- Ted Lasso (Apple+)
Alluded to earlier in the thread... the world needs to take a time out and watch this. Lots of 'feel good' moments and themes throughout. Thanks for all the recs!
