    I told my kids that they could get their first degree anywhere they wanted to go without any college loan debt, except that all we would pay for would be the cost of in-state tuition at a public school in Texas. I ended up with an aggy grad (but a full 2 percenter, to her credit!) and an UNT grad. Both fully deployed into life and no college loan debt.

    I've been doing this from time to time on Terry Kath and his 25 or 6 to 4 solos for the past 40 years! I can do a lick or two, but man, he was great! Me -- I am still a well below average rythm guitar player. Rocking those chords though!

    All of them, I'm thinking.

    For sure, this. Up the thread, I talked about learning how to party in college -- it was way more than that. I went the frat route at Texas -- don't hate me. But that experience taught me a shit load of how to interact socially with all kinds of people in many settings. Mixers, dinners, parties and such that all had the upper classmen riding herd on you to keeping you from being a total dumbfuck with manners and social skills. Fast forward to being in an international professional services firm. Very early in my career I demonstrated that I was good at hanging socially with Senior Partners and important clients. I may not have been the smartest guy or most senior guy in my class at the firm, but I got way ahead of others on the partner track due to the social stuff I learned in college.

    Typing, algebra, logic, debits and credits (how to read a financial statement), and the concept of the time value of money have been the most important skills/concepts in my business professional career. Some of that I got in HS, some in college. But I really learned how to party in college -- so there's that.

    I do not disagree with you. Road to Hana can be a beating.

    Nah, those Charro beans served on the side look pretty legit.

    That looks like "Hacienda Colorado" -- part of the Uncle Julio's Restaurant Group chain.

    That is why it is often called a pork confit. I'm sure that Jack knows what he's doing, and that is pretty much the recipe I used, but I added a final step to a big batch of carnitas that I made for an event this past weekend. Pull and shred the cooked pork onto a baking sheet in single layers and put into a hot oven (maybe 425) until the pork develops some crispy brown goodness.

    The Houston Ship Channel bridge, the Boston Big Dig, and the California Bullet Train all say "hold my beer!"

    I can't listen to all of each of their whole albums, but such a great body of work. Agree with those songs. To me, my favorite is Limelight. It really captures who Neil Peart was. Uncomfortable with the whole rock star lifestyle, just a guy playing music and perfecting his craft until he couldn't any more. RIP Neil and RIP Rush.

    It depends on the size of the martini glass.

    I had one scorched gumbo at the Don's in Beaumont way back when. The server and manager agreed. They comped it and gave me a martini and some oysters. Don's is good people in my book.

    Great video. Is it wrong that I'm sipping on brandy while watching? This is one of my favorite Surly topics. I appreciate all of the honesty here. We do have an amazing community!

    Man, this thread led me down through a couple of internet surfing time sucks, but this live long version of Another Man's Woman by ARS, with Paul Goddard's amazing bass solo made it all worth it: You've got to love a band that has a lead bass and two lead guitars!

    No. But it does require LEO to deal with perps acting irrationally and sometimes exhibiting something close to super-human force when they really get their drugs on. We'll need to see the tape.

    You left out intoxication from illegal drugs.

    Rick Beato channel is such a great way to waste time on the intertubes! Love how he educates all of us heathens about what is going on in the songs that we love and listen to!

    Frank Erwin says "Hook 'em" and that it's always the "bottom of the fifth" somewhere!

    Ad aids cured for me. I only do desktop on Chrome.

    I'm thinking 1942 based upon this: "Edwin Brazelton Snead went into business for himself when he founded E.B. Snead Construction Company in 1932. Ten years later, he opened his first quarry in Austin, just southwest of MoPac and FM2222" https://www.texascrushedstoneco.com/about-us/our-history/ They next did the Far West quarry, and then the big place south of Georgetown.

    There may or may not have been some ladies in Boys Town in Nuevo Laredo that could have helped with that issue.

    The loss of the ability to cross-border party has been a huge shock to Texas HS/College culture. There were some good times over there back then. Today -- not so much.
