    Can you imagine showing up at somebody's funeral dressed like that? Give me a fucking break.

    Bob Cole has been characterized above as both a Carnival Barker and as a very bad strip club DJ. Both are accurate. He also fancies himself as the most important guy in every room, and that room includes DKR (and sadly, Disch-Falk). Hey Bob -- there's a football game going on -- why not let us watch it without you constantly interrupting it?

    Newark is by far my preference when working in NYC.

    Now there's a great Surly 1% humblebrag!

    Good for you, Schlong. Knowing PCUSA, your gumbo was very likely the biggest truth any of them experienced today! (Sorry, that may have been a bit CR!)

    Perhaps we should all focus on sending CDC a "Bob Cole is not our standard" message this week?

    Some things never change. Bob Cole is still insufferable.

    We are out in the sticks. We suffered through HughesNet satellite and their horribad data limits, throttling, and Hindu-ish (No CR!) customer service for a number of years. 5-7 years ago or so we switched over to a Wireless Digital Subscriber Link ISP (Western Broadband) and could not be happier. We have a bunch of big trees, so we had to build a 60 ft. tower (less than $1k) so that our radio transmitter can do a line of sight off of their equipment located on a water tower about two miles away. We get great data speeds (20 up, 10 down), have never encountered any data limits, and it is very reliable unless there is a torrential rain that interferes with the signal -- very rare (especially this year!). Their customer support (rarely used) is local smart people. Highly recommend.

    She seems fun.

    Nothing jumps out to me. El Vecino is my favorite of your usual joints. Goose was fun with a group.

    The guy behind the company that owns the "aggy G-IV" is Robert L. Albritton, a member of the aggy Board of Regents. https://www.tamus.edu/regents/bios/albritton/

    Restrictions upon holding any interest in individual stocks while in office might be a backdoor way to implement term limits.

    That is a solid place. We've been half a dozen times over the years. Good mix of Tex-Mex, Interior Mex, and seafood options. Also a popular place for kids/group meals for little league/soccer teams and such. Outdoor play area occupies the short people pretty well. P.S. -- The Mexican Martinis (limit 2!) served in the shaker are top notch.

    Same here. No telling what temperature it will happen at -- but there is always a stall.

    Looks amazing. Wrong thread, though.

    Speaking of the CVCs, I agree that many of these could be revisited -- this piece has some pretty good graphics of all of them from different perspectives: https://austin.towers.net/see-downtown-austins-capitol-view-corridors-in-eye-popping-3d/ See Downtown Austin’s Capitol View Corridors in Eye-Popping 3D

    I'd not heard of this accident until after his death. https://buffettworld.com/incidents/widgeon-seaplane-crash/ On Thursday, August 25th, 1994 around 3:00 pm Eastern time, Jimmy Buffett crashed his Grumman G-44 Widgeon, N1471N, while attempting to takeoff in the waters off Nantucket, Massachusetts. The airplane nosed over, and Jimmy was able to swim to safety, sustaining only minor injuries. Buffett credits his survival to Navy Survival Training he had to complete before being able to ride in an F-14 Tomcat from the deck of an aircraft carrier. NTSB Narrative: At the time of the accident, Buffett had about 1,500 total hours, including 400 in multi-engine aircraft and 190 in the Widgeon. Grumman G-44 Widgeon.

    I went to a great Friday night Texas/OU party up somewhere in North Dallas back in the day. The hosts of the party had "won" the bartending services of Wally Pryor for that evening's party at a Texas Exes fundraising event. Wally was a blast, but I'm guessing that most of the drinks he mixed were his own!

    Marketing genius. He and his buddy JJW (with a hat tip to JJW's wife Susanna, who also seems to be very savvy) made a point of holding their music rights at their own record labels. JB kicked it up another notch with his licensing agreements with restaurants, resorts, and the 55+ retirement community. He was a very smart guy and a pirate at heart. RIP to yet another pirate gone too soon.

    I read all of that in an Dale Gribble voice.

    I brought home a bunch of prickly pears weekend before last -- my son is doing some kind of tequila brew with them. IDK how that will turn out, but if I don't die, I will let y'all know about it.
