The USS Doris Miller (CVN-81)
Dude had three ships sunk out from under him. I'm not sure I'd want to serve on that bad boy.

Dumbass Shit on Nextdoor
My folks live on 3 acres and the house is dead center and not visible from the road. Just a mailbox and gravel drive weaving through the woods. It takes a pretty brave soul to walk down there uninvited. On day my Dad hears their red healer Buster going ape shit. He looks out in the driveway and sees 3 Mormons standing back to back while Buster circles them with his hackles up and looking like he'll murder them at any moment. He laughed for a while and then opened the front door and said "When I call him you have 10 seconds to be gone". They were and he's never been visited since. That was about 20 years ago. He thinks he's on a list somewhere.

A farewell to Dairy Queens
I have no doubt y'all crossed paths. Dad graduated from Travis in '62 and his brother in '64. They lived on Harwood Place just off Travis Heights. My Grandfather was APD so they couldn't get too out of control but they got into plenty of mischief.

A farewell to Dairy Queens
You probably ran into my Dad and his hoodlum Travis Heights friends. I've heard more Pig Stand stories over the years than I could possibly remember.

Terminator 27: Dark Fate -- Nov 2019
I enjoyed it. I'm not sure why a Terminator movie has to be taken so seriously. It's a movie about time traveling killer robots. It's not as good as the first two, sure, but it's still a pretty good action movie.

Midway (Nov 2019)
I saw it Sunday and it was good. The characters they focused on were critical to the action and while there was a little video game feel to some of the combat, for the most part it looked damned good and the pacing was excellent I thought. Looks fantastic on the big screen and it doesn't pull any punches about the true cost of war. Hollywood never gets strafing right so that's a little annoying but it was intense and nice to look at for sure.

Alamo Drafthouse Season Pass
I just wanted to pimp this. Just in "beta" testing now but I was able to sign up and so far I've seen 4 movies in the week and a half I've had it. I have to see 3 movies a month to pay for it. The hard part is not spending $30 on food and beverages every time you go. I also got a companion pass and the hardest part is my wife and daughters fighting over who gets to go with me. I suspect I'll end up seeing some movies I don't care to see just to take them but I don't feel too bad about that.

Divorce lawyer Spring Tx
Appreciate all the responses. Good point about going into the city, but I think she's going to have a hard time with her husband. He's a grade A shit head, so she needs the best she can get that doesn't cost an arm and a leg. She's going to be the custodial parent for their two girls and I wouldn't be surprised if she has to fight tooth and nail to get paid on any child support that ordered. She's also caring for her mother who has dementia so that's just a nice extra kick in the gut. I wish she was in Austin and could use hornian.

I doubt she cares if it's a local guy. She's just trying figure out how to start at this point.

A friend needs a rec. She's not loaded but the real estate is complicated due to in law issues. I trust Surly for these things.

That reminds me of the joke in the Army about the towels. Issued towel, OD green, waterproof, one each.

California PG&E going full regard. Preemptively shutting off power to 800,000 for up to 7 days straight in anticipation of 45 mph winds
PG&E might be the most tone deaf organization in the country.

Child Therapist recs
My middle daughter was a lot like this. Very smart, but hyper sensitive to the slightest criticism, especially from me. She still doesn't like to be told she's in the wrong but as she's gotten older it's become much more of a strength. She works hard to do the right thing and it drives her to excel, but doesn't bring her down any more. Getting help never hurts, but I think you'll find that as he matures and learns more about himself he'll naturally get better. We did, in fact, have her talk to a counselor a few times and she basically told us not to change anything, that she would be fine as she became more comfortable with who she was as a person. Good luck!
