    Getting old sucks

    Two years younger than my firstborn son….
  2. I appreciated her little victory jiggle at the end.
  3. The old woman from that “farm” showed up at our front door one dark and stormy evening about 20 or 25 years ago with a young dude to beg for a contribution.
  4. They’ll probably claim we got them “early in the season”, just like we did Bama.
  5. Yeah, all those parking garages should be built with dual purpose conversions in mind. But 99.9% of Austinites and the ‘burb workforce are never going to commute to work or go shopping on bicycles
  6. When we lived briefly on 17th Street just west of Guadalupe in 1960, there was plenty of parking on the street.
  7. Taiwan has been independent for 75 years and prospered in spite of having to spend 2.5% of its GNP on defense. Xi and his thug gang elites want to grab that wealth for themselves. Look at how they’ve been screwing Hong Kong over since they reclaimed it from the UK in 1997. That “One country, two systems” policy is a lot of BS under Xi’s dictatorship.
  8. Oldfarts over 70 are exempt, and I only wear shorts & polo shirts plus Skechers and white socks. Besides, I already served on a Federal district court jury - Judge Sam Sparks presiding (that gentleman was funny).
  9. Two weeks after meeting the future Mrs. Brat at mutual friends’ wedding in December of 1966, I proposed to her in front of the duplex at 1700 Alta Vista ( the southwest corner at Woodland (said newlywed friends rented one side).
  10. Actually, I have not been to the Rainey Street area since is was a neighborhood in 1961 or ‘62. One of my classmates from St. Edwards High School lived in one of those old bungalows at the corner of Lambie Street & East Avenue. At that time I lived on Elmhurst Drive just south of the river between Woodland & Riverside…..where I took this photo (posted here several times) in 1959.
  11. Oh? Then maybe he’s got a sense of humor……..mocking the others who show off in the tiktok bs.
  12. These kids work their asses off for years to get where they are, and I’d like to see them build something viable for their long term future instead of pissing it away before they are no longer able to earn the big bucks. They can still party & have fun without being stupid.
  13. From the skyscraper forum….
  14. Sark should link this thread to all the players and coaches who are not acquainted with aggy and their history with Texas. Especially the false narrative they have continually spewed about UT being the evil destroyer of conferences and cheaters. Educate them about the truth of aggy and their treatment of UT at the time of the Bonfire “Bowl”, their vandalism of Memorial Stadium and the 40 acres campus over the years. And about the lies they spread at their departure from the Big 12. In fact, just link the players to TexAgs so they can read the the idiocy for themselves.
  15. Yes, I was impressed by the 75’s quaity in fit & finish, not to mention its fifty year history of world wide reputation.
  16. He is on my house at least every other week checking up on me. Creepy sumbitch, he is.
  17. I really hope he has a competent financial advisor.
  18. Are most of the little bungalow bars & eateries disappearing from that area?
