    Although I am not a big fan of country music I will say Garth Brooks put on a great show last not at Jerry World here in Dallas. Trisha Yearwood was a surprise guest that did a quick opening set and joined him at the end for a duet. Apparently, they were recording this concert for a future live album as they mentioned it a few times. The 90K people at the stadium were singing along to every song.

    How would this even work? Wouldn’t CNN or the judge just ask to see proof of this fraud, of which there is none and then throw out the case?

    I would think for a good sales person/recruiter it wouldn’t be that hard if you show them the tape of guys like Foster, Schooler and Brock and how it wasn’t scheme but it was that they just sucked and all we need is “fill in this years recruit” to come in and start over that level of player I would think it could be sold pretty easily. It’s not like he had a bunch of NFL talent on that D (pretty much none) and I would argue guys like Schooler and Brock wouldn’t start at most top end D1 schools. Hell, they may not start at most bottom D1 schools. Not saying Pete K is the best out there but you put those 3 guys I mentioned on a lot of good defenses at others schools and I guarantee those defenses would get much, much worst immediately.

    When do we get the video of Trump and his team saying this?

    As a ice cream aficionado, below are the best I have found in a long time at the grocery store.

    Taking the wife to her dream concert, Garth Brooks, next weekend in Dallas. I am not a fan as I only know the Friends in Low Places song but hopefully he puts on a great show.

    1000%. I was talking to a company a few months back about a very lucrative position (way more than my current one), but I found out the CEO wants everyone in the office 5 days a week from 8am to 5pm. Once I heard that I was totally not interested in that company. I had no desire to commute an hour each way in traffic so maybe that makes me lazy or not a "go getter" but the trade off for more money to working from home and spending time with my family (or running up to the golf course to play a few holes in the middle of the week) is more important to me at this point in my life. Not sure if that makes me dumb or smart.

    I have been remote for over 20 years so Covid didn't really have an impact on me other than I couldn't travel for 2 years. Now that travel is back to normal I can work from anywhere in the US (I need to fly around and see my customers) but wish I could do my job from another country.

    I will tell you that I know a lot of "rich" people that definitely live paycheck to paycheck. One of our friends here in Dallas lost her job a few years ago and she told my wife she had 2 months to find a new job or her and her husband wouldn't be able to pay their mortgage. They live in a $800K house and are your typical upper middle class type people who don't save a penny and have nothing in the bank but spend, spend, spend. I don't feel bad for people like this. I do feel bad for the people struggling to make ends meet, living paycheck to paycheck, that aren't living above their means but are just trying to get by paying for rent, food, and necessities. I bet if everybody in North Dallas lost their jobs tomorrow over half would have no money in the bank within 3 months if not sooner and have no idea how to pay for their McMansions and luxury car leases. Sad but true.

    I played golf this morning with a guy who told us an interesting story. He is in the insurance business and he mentioned talking to his account rep/VP from a big insurance company. The VP no longer lived in the US as he decided to move to Sicily during Covid. Apparently, his company asked him when he is moving back and he said "I am not and plan on doing my job from here via email/zoom". The company said OK you do you. Make me jealous as my job requires me to be located in the US.

    I can't wait to hear him say the 2020 election was stolen from Donald Trump and Biden is not the real President.

    Yeah, I post on those. I was just wondering if it's just a thing with this board or actually a very wide spread thought process throughout Texas.

    I see shit like this and it's off to Realtor.com to look for places other than TX to live. I wonder how many other Texans are possibly considering moving due to the direction of this state. Sadly, there are tons of Republicans in other states that see this stuff and say, "I really need to move down to Texas".

    I posted on another thread about this but I am seriously considering getting a summer condo or something in the Seatle area (still need to be near an airport for work). Now I just need the real estate market to collapse for a little bit so I can buy something up there at a decent price. I was in Vancouver, BC Saturday night and it was 60 degrees and quite nice just wandering around the downtown area up there. It sucked coming back to TX on Sunday and 108 degree weather.

    I thought this was the 2022 golf thread of dominance.

    The best I have done on my course is about 2 hours and 10 minutes but that is on a weekday (pre covid when everyone else was actually working and I had the course to myself) so 2 hours is definitely possible.

    Seems like future Majority Leader of the Senate material to me.

    So which goes first, the drought stricken/no water North TX area or the newly categorized Category 7 Super Hurricanes with 300mph winds that wipe out Houston and the TX coast? If we just make climate change a gambling game we can all have fun, right? Right?

    My current skills are Ninja and dynamite clown juggler. Do you think I can get in?

    You are missing the long game for the Republican politicians in states like MS, AL, etc… Once they bring back slavery then they will have plenty of people to choose from for that.

    Pretty sure they have a No Texans Allowed sign at the border. I was talking about asylum not general. I can’t leave the US since my job won’t allow it. Seriously thinking of getting a home elsewhere, like Seattle for the summers and then if need be use it full time if TX keeps getting worse. The wife thinks anything over 75 degrees is hot (and she is a born and raised Texan) but this is probably not the best climate for what she likes now.
