    so if you were a producer for a shit station like MTv what city would you choose to get the condo to house AB and John Manziel for your new reality show?
    I am not sure LA or NY are the right places maybe Miami?
    or what about an RV?

    Reno

    Nope.  Whitehorse in the Yukon.  That would be highly entertaining.

  2. I left work (Allen parkway and waugh) at 3:30.  Ran Allen Parkway into downtown and onto 59N.    That was closed at 610 so I exited and weaved through Kashmere Gardens to I10 East back to BW8 north.  Drive home on that to 59 and was in my driveway about 120 minutes after my initial departure .   All things being equal, I was lucky compared to those on the east or northeast side. 

    I marveled at how may big rigs/18 wheelers were on the road.  Shouldn't there be a point where we say "Yall are staying put at a truck stop or parking lot somewhere."  On my sojourn through east Houston it was kind of disturbing how many big rigs were driving through really low lying areas pushing wakes up to the front doors of homes.  

    As I drove out 10 and then BW8, I was also shocked at the amount of businesses that looked closed.  Whole strip centers seemed empty.  Kudos to those businesses for recognizing that sending people home early/not even opening was the thing to do. 

  3. Live in Kingwood work at Allen Parkway and Waugh.  I got into work before the worst of it plowed through.  Buffalo Bayou rose quite a bit but looks to be going back down.   Should be a fun drive home.

  4. Going in early October and staying at a place in Pacifica to stage from.  Plan on going north across the GGB one day (Mt. Tamalpais, Muir Woods and Battery Spencer for the view).  That's all weather contingent.  Another day is going south probably as far as Big Sur.  That will a long, long day. 

    The 12 year old boy in me is psyched about our Friday.  Taking the Macanudo-ettes to Alcatraz in the afternoon.  Its Fleet Week and the Blue Angel's will be flying around the time we are either on The Rock or as we ferry back. 

    Really hoping someone buzzes the tower.

    First thing I thought of

    This is what I get for not being the post whore that I used to be.  I opened the thread and immediately thought about Fyre only to scroll down and see someone already made the connection.

    This was a perfect first game. It was a blowout with plenty of mistakes that the coaches can harp on.

    It's also nice to not have to rationalize areas of poor performance. For like 10 years, the OL would struggle against a less-than-stellar d-line and then we'd hear about how well coached the other unit was or how they were really better than you'd expect for Rice, or Wyoming, or whoever. Our d-line would get gashed and we'd hear that these were just minor run-fit issues or that the no-name running back was sneaky good. There was none of that this game. Folks can rightfully point out that LA Tech is a decent team with some legitimately good players who didn't really do much against us.

    That was kind of how I felt.   We looked good in a lot of areas but not bad in any.   My biggest concern is mainly depth.   Especially at RB.   Duh, right?

    I commute from Spring to DT every day in ~35 minutes.

    Unless you either ride a bus or live at Spring Cypress/45 and leave the house at 4:45 in the morning, I'm calling bullshit.   

    Different commute (59 N) but I live in Kingwood and unless I leave before 7:00, it can take me 20 minutes just to drive 7 miles from my house to the freeway.   The 25 miles from there to Allen Parkway and Waugh can take 30 if I take the HOV and downtown isn't a mess or 60+ if 59/10/45 are a clusterfuck.

    Presentation and ingredients were slightly different but I had this for lunch today and it was damn good.   Overall, our table had the brisket hash, pit breakfast (pulled pork, brisket, potatoes and eggs), shrimp and grits and pancakes.   All of it was great.   As said several times, Jim has kept the FG brunch menu and added in some things.   Well worth the visit when in Galveston.   

    Personally, I like the location rather than being either on the Seawall (traffic would suck), Broadway (parking and other concerns) or the Strand (parking and rent prices.)   Right by UTMB is a winner because a menu like his is going to really appeal to the hospital crowd, both employees and visitors.    We got there right around 1:30 and the initial brunch rush had slowed a little but he was still 35-40 full and people kept coming.   Even with that Jim took time out to talk about the business and menu.   Really enjoyed the trip.  

    Buck's will be the go-to place to eat on the island from this point out.

    No CR please.

     

    I think we're about 98.5% united on this thread that heads need to roll in the PD.  Let's not lose focus on the targets...

    That's the worrisome part.  Past experience tells us that Goines will be the fall guy, Art will declare that a rogue cop and an accomplice are off the force and all is well.  Meanwhile we all know that not only are there many other cops as dirty but that command knows all about what they do. 

    The "case will be closed" and the average citizen goes on with their lives but the shenanigans will continue and it will be business as usual in HPD and every other PD.
