Road Trip: Austin to Colorado (red rocks area) on a budget-- tips?
There’s a few really nice really affordable Airbnb in Texline called Angela’s place. The cafe downstairs also believes in huge servings for low prices and everything I’ve had has been great. I’ll second the recommendation for staying at Palo Duro. There are some great Airbnb mini cabins right outside the park for a reasonable rate. You’re close to the rim and if the show is running in the park go see it. It’s quite a production for the middle of nowhere. Considering the small crowd when I went there’s no way in hell they made money that night between the production costs and huge fireworks show. It was great.

Abbott being Abbott
Sharp and A&M too liberal for Abbott. I have been to the PhD project conference in Chicago and found it to be a great event used to talk to a group of high performing students who otherwise wouldn’t be introduced to careers in academia. No preference is given to these applicants. We didn’t decide to attend this event in place of another. It’s just a place to recruit students.

Jay Hartzell has entered the Transfer Portal
Just wanted to point out that SMU wants to leave the UMC umbrella because the church is too liberal. Texas Supreme Court to decide 2019 case soon and may approve SMU decision to separate itself from the church’s control.

Thread of good things in the world today
Setting up nicely for Pablo and Allan (UT Austin) to win the Nobel in 2025. They were predicted to win in 2024 for the magic-angle in twisted graphene but AI decided it didn’t want to wait to take over.

McKinsey to Pay 650M To Defer Prosecution in Purdue Pharma Case
Does any insurance cover opzelura for non-vitiligo use? It’s $2000/month without insurance. It works for my dishydrotic eczema but I can’t afford it. Just keep begging the doctor for samples until we spend years trying the other lotions the insurance does cover.

Hunting 24/25: big bucks and a lot of ducks!
I took my fourth doe of the season this evening with my bow; four arrows, four kills. Took me a long time to learn how and where to shoot to actually make a good kill. Was really happy with today’s shot. She went about 30 yards and poured blood the whole way. 110 lb Rocksprings doe. Now only 100 more to go to fix the “doe problem” in our valley. I’m not sure what the problem is because I’d rather fight the crowd of does than the idiots at the store.

What the Fuck, UT Austin biology building patio’s ceiling collapses
The second time this has happened at UT. Luckily nobody was injured either time. The previous incident was the loading dock at RRH just after the building opened. Same thing. And both times the answer will be “we didn’t account for high winds.” UT is now quietly inspecting other similar installations around campus. Including another one at the NHB. We should include wind in future design concerns. Apparently it blows on campus.

A&M at Souf Carolina ABC
His 2022 season was fun to watch. Then he got hurt all last year and lost momentum.

Suzanne Simpson, the disappearing San Antonio realtor (UT alum)
Pharmacy jobs came to mind but that’s just a wild guess while I try to distract myself from Saturday’s game.

Brian Kelly LSU Football: Corndogs, Corruption, and Cameramen (dead)
Was it though? He turned and went towards the play. The block came at his front shoulder. And it wasn’t that bad of a block. He flopped like a soccer player.

Nussmeier turned and ran towards to the returner. At that point he chose to engage. Why should a block be a penalty? That was stupid.

What was wrong with that block on the qb? He’s not a qb at that point.
