    McKool Smith has put the hurt on some pretty large entities in more expensive litigation than this will ever be.

    No doubt that they are a big-time law firm, but this lawsuit seems dubious.  I pay for surly, the WSJ, some legal and investigative databases erry month.  Does the City of Austin really get a piece of action from that?

    P.S. -- just started thinking about my other online services that I pay for:  AVG, Office 365, Dropbox, PACER, research.txcourts.gov.  Nuts!

    I doubt you'll find that style of boot with a full traditional leather insole without going custom. Manufacturers know that most people throw those kinds of boots away instead of getting multiple resoles done, so there isn't much point to going to the extra expense of doing it that way.

    i have been wearing this pair of Dan Post 2111 Calf skins since 1991.  3 re-soles thus far.

    We don't have access to all of the data that the the demographer from the Brookings Institution relies upon, but I will remind y'all of the limitations of comparing statistics  generated from small numbers with statistics generated from large numbers.

    As a preface, in round numbers, Biden carried around 500 large, highly populated urban counties.  Trump carried around 2,500 counties, many of those located in lightly populated flyover country.

    I hunt in Menard and Schleicher counties.  That is flyover country, for sure. Both solidly Red in recent elections.

    The latest statistics I saw tonight show that Menard County has a Covid death statistic of 16,136 per 100,000 of population.  Schleicher County shows a Covid death statistic of 12,925 per 100,000 of population.

    Menard County has experienced 11 total deaths attributed to Covid from 2020 to date.  Schleicher County has experienced 9 total deaths attributed to Covid from 2020 to date. 

    The population of Menard County is around 2,250.  The population of Schleicher County is around 2,450.

    I would be interested to see how these two lightly populated counties, and others like them, impacted the conclusions of this study.

  4. It's a pretty long boat ride, but it looks like you can get to the back side of the Inks Lake dam from this public ramp:

    Lake LBJ can also be accessed via the Llano River on a one-lane concrete ramp at Kingsland Community Park off RR 2900. A boat launch fee is required at the ramp, which is operated by the Kingsland/Lake LBJ Chamber of Commerce. Open year-round, it is day-use only. Call (325) 388-6211 for more information.

    Not able to find any candied fruits at the store. Supposed to be coming in this week. It's usually available by now. If not, then no fruitcake this year. 

    You say that as if it is a bad thing.

    Liberty Hill regains lead 29-26 vs Alamo Heights late 3rd quarter. It's a pretty fun game.

     

    UPDATE: 36-33 Liberty Hill. 

     

    UPDATE: 43-40 Liberty with 1:30. 

    43-40 Liberty Hill is the final score.  The first (and last) loss for the Alamo Heights Mules this season.

    That rendering of downtown has to be like 5-6 years old at least.  

    The article mentioned that point:

    "A massing of the Sixth and Rio Grande tower plan that’s roughly accurate to its stated height and the limitations of the Capitol View Corridor passing through the site, though the real tower could look very different than this cosmetically. You’ll notice that Google Earth’s 3D buildings are pretty out of date — nearby condo towers Fifth & West and the Independent are both under construction here, with other new towers totally missing. Image: James Rambin / Google Maps"

  8. 0Generally a push time-wise.  San Antonio starting point might make a difference on route.  I've done both.  The 90 route is more interesting, but doing cruise control on I-10 is way less off a drain on the driver.

    I-10 route means barbecue in Junction.  90 route means tacos in Del Rio.

    Worked with a guy way back who (allegedly) lost his ring finger checking a load of hay (ring got stuck somewhere as/when he jumped down) or something. 

    I don't even wear a watch. Next time you're wondering what time it is, make a good effort to guess before you check (your phone, duh).

    Same here on the loss of a finger due to wedding band.  I ditched the watch 15+ years ago when smart phones became a thing.
