    Get with the program, Comrade. That is just how "Equity" works. Some are more equal than others.

    What a great movie! My media life would probably be complete if I only had a continuous loop of Godfather 1 & 2 along with Goodfellas and a Bronx Tale.

    I looked at that, but couldn't figure it out reliably. It still may be held in the Wooten family. Yes, Virginia, there actually was a guy named Goodall Wooten that was involved in developing that property. I think that Sr. was a physician in Austin and Jr. was a pharmacist. They both did a lot of real estate stuff in the area north of the Capitol back in the day.

    It depends upon what the ground lease says. Some just say that all of the improvements on the land revert to the land owner. Others say that the land must be delivered back to the owner with all of the improvements removed. Given the huge increase in the value of that property, I bet that there is plenty of room for a developer to renegotiate/buy out that lease and also buy out the condo owners to make way for a redevelopment. Full disclosure -- my son and his wife lived in a rental unit there from around 2019-2022. Very outdated heating/cooling systems and elevators. With a great location like that, plus the fact that the current improvements are not tall enough, it needs to be redeveloped.

    I had high hopes, but after two visits, not a fan of Blood Bros.

    I just looked at a Loop Net listing for a ground floor office space condo in Greenwood Towers. It says that the ground lease expires in 2065, which makes sense. Likely a 99 year ground lease when it was built in 1966.

    Operator error.

    Errybody needs to take a deep breath, Adam Loewy is on the case:

    You better cook the shit out of that stuff. I have it on solid authority that they only season up shit that way when it is headed way over the "sell buy" date.

    My last two cars were 2008/2009 MB E350s for that very reason. My next cars will be a 2008/2009 MB E350 for that very reason. It seems wrong to not have a shifter in the center console.

    This is good advice. If you are interested in practicing law and not interested in playing in the Big Law and or Federal Judge Clerkship game, Baylor or St. Mary's are great places to get a practical law degree.

    When was the last time anybody asked to see your high school diploma? Get your law license -- make your reputation.

    NRA was founded by Yankees that were appalled at how bad the Union soldiers were with their shooting skills during the Civil War. Marksmanship classes were the principal reason for the creation of the NRA.

    On the other side of that argument -- once the kids were out of the house, my wife stated that she never wants special birthday, anniversary, or holiday gifts from me (since she always buys whatever she wants for herself anyway), but she really, really likes to get a card on special events like that. I'm all in on $8 cards!

    Agreed that it is remarkable how little social engagement that the Biden tweet had.

    In a word -- no. Ownership percentage in a professional services firm does not usually equal what gets paid out to each owner annually. Many firms have a compensation committee that makes those calls, others have a specified formula based upon rainmaking, billable hours or other variables. Absent some contractual obligation -- sitting on the sidelines does not pay all that well.

    Kicking this thread back up. The bride and I did an after church Easter feast at the newish north Deckhand location. Much bigger than previous location and probably 4X the televisions for watching sports and/or the Masters today. It did not disappoint. We opened with a Salt and Pepper calamari. I then did oysters both ways -- half shell and roasted. Finished out with a fried oyster plate. She did a crawfish etouffee that she seemed happy with. Solid place. P.S. Their green hot sauce in the squeeze bottles is finominal!

    Not easy to call a Tom that is locked on to the real thing!

    Some pretty good background on said Lebanese in Austin in this piece: https://www.michaelcorcoran.net/austins-lebanese-influence-and-the-roots-of-acl-fest/

    Just enough spin to avoid Mico having any more disputes with Mi Cocina. Menus are remarkably similar, including a "Mambo King" rather than Mi Cocina's "Mambo Taxi". Reminds me of this:

    You are correct: One day, Bob Armstrong, a longtime politician who had been Land Commissioner of Texas, walked into the kitchen. "Little Matt," he said, "gimme something different for an appetizer ... something not on the menu" https://www.mattstexmex.com/Bob/

    True. More details. https://lakewood.advocatemag.com/matts-rancho-martinez-closing-in-lakewood/

    Nobody here is advocating for criminal acts.

    It's just a bullet. Nothing special about what gun that it comes out of.
