  1. at one time i put together a spreadsheet of the debt using treasury's monthly interest statements which attributed accumulating interest back to the president who incurred the principal (since the debt just rolls over rather than being paid, for the most part).  always thought that was a less facile way of reading it than just attributing all new debt incurred during a presidency to that president.   last time i went looking for those monthly treasury statements i couldn't find them.  not sure where they got buried in the site.

    I can relate, having graduated from Big Spring (I also lived in Seagraves through kindergarten, but my dad's mom lived in Denver City). Yeah, there's plenty of oil around Big Spring, but it's all in the fucking Forsan and Ackerly (Sands) ISD boundaries. So, we were also a poverty school too while Forsan High had wall-to-wall carpeting in its hallways (open enrollment has now made it the white flight destination of the county). Andrews, which was one of our rivals, was like Seminole with their fancy indoor pool connected to their basketball gymnasium and their Mustang Bowl football. Meanwhile, we had to use the YMCA for swimming, the city course for golf, and a rickety, erector-set football stadium.

    I remember well that golf course between Seminole and Seagraves since my dad would play that course when I was little. That little park next to the golf course was where we celebrated my 5th birthday in 1976 before taking a big family vacation to the East Coast for the bicentennial.

    heard about those golden pennies on TPR/Texas Standard

  3. Well they are all wrong. Sweat or not we can’t get to Penix. Apparently no one watched Washington play all year or discounted them as weak. Because Pac12. Or thought Oregon was better both times Washington beat them. Whatever they are a very very good teams we have the most talent and potential. But we are sloppy and we just need to try and pick Oenix off. Just need to run the ball right now. Do what we do best. We can win other ways than with Ewers. And well Fuck another fumble/error. 
    Do we have the most talent? Penix is clearly the better QB and has been all year, and his receivers catch any ball near them pretty much every time. And they don't cough the ball up
