  1. Mrs.Brat used to put them inside those plastic eggs for the grandkids to “hunt” on Easter Sunday.
  2. The central core was packed with real strawberries. Maybe just temporary come on bait, but it was awesomely good.
  3. Quarters were good for parking meters and for throwing into the toll road change basket.
  4. Our neighborhood DQ is a Mayfield store. Never a problem and is really top notch. M&M Blizzards are my thing, but last week I tried the Royal New York Cheesecake Blizzard. That is now my favorite….
  5. If Reveille barks, is the game over?
  6. Son & wife bay fishing at SPI this morning…
  7. Las Vegas slot machines went coinless years ago.
  8. My grandkids don’t hesitate to take folding $$.
  9. They already are, and have been for some time.
  10. Jfc, dude. Please?
  11. Knock that off on my thread if you please.
  12. You guys are slow….. https://apnews.com/article/israel-palestinians-hamas-war-lebanon-hezbollah-iran-news-10-25-2024-0920f63542d158ad5999c481e421da00
  13. Bought this almost 30 years ago. It sure beats the sheet metal gun “locker” from Academy it replaced. I prefer the old school combination dial and it is lag bolted to the concrete slab.
  14. Cute dawg though! My granddaughter was devastated when her 12 year old “baby” Toby finally had to be put down a couple of months ago after more than a year of battling with a cancer. Last week she & her husband adopted this rescue from Mexico - “Sophia”, who is 8 months old and bears a striking resemblance to the late Toby. Sophia has been a big part of helping granddaughter’s recovery from surgery several days ago.
  15. Poor little orphan waifs. Wherever will they go?
  16. Whatever.❤️
  17. You can argue your empty shade all you like, I don’t care. I’m talking about the ones who don’t want help and are a scourge to the ordinary people who want to go about their business without being molested or subjected to the filth that they generate. I have read plenty from downtowners who have described how Republic Square at times is not a place they’d care to visit because of the street bums. Get them off the streets and into a facility for treatment. But that is for another thread. Given the state of lack of control by the current & recent city “leadership, spending $130 million will attract more of the same and will cut back access to the central core and Capitol area for all Texans. That is pure folly IMO. New York City had a brilliant idea by converting a defunct elevated railroad line snaking through the city into a beautiful walking promenade & park. You are probably aware of the now famous High Line project. While Austin obviously doesn’t have ant defunct elevated rail lines, similar structures could be built from scratch for the pedestrian/parkways - have one a block or two west of Congress running north & south and another a block or two east of Congress with both stretching from Caesar Chavez up past the Capitol complex towards UT.
  18. Yes I am aware and have been since a small segment was closed by Clinton in 1995. Two blocks in front of the White House originally set aside to prevent terrorist truck bombs from blowing up the White House isn’t the same as 10+ blocks of Congress Avenue from Caesar Chavez up to 11th being closed to traffic so trendy folks can strut around like theyre on Rodeo Drive. And are you aware that 12 blocks of Pennsylvania Avenue are still open thoroughfare for vehicles past DuPont Circle to the northwest?
  19. Bear spray should be more practical to use against a home intruder.
  20. Like a rolling water balloon, or so they say.
  21. Fuck your snotty attitude…..just because it hasn’t happened to your royal ass. Maybe some drugged out bum needs to beat your butt so you can see what a lot of the little people have to put up with.
  22. No it isn’t. My son, who lives in South Austin and is all over the central core frequentl for work and entertainment, has had multiple run-ins with some of the worst trash, and once had to brandish a (legal) firearm to keep a rather large aggressor from attacking him. Not to mention multiple trespassers on family property where the police were summoned and made arrests. That is just in recent years but I guess that is no concern for the downtown highrise elite and the City Council nabobs.
