    Back to the affordable steakhouse well. Saltgrass has a pretty outstanding one. $3 drafts, $4 Rita’s, $5 wines, and I believe their cocktails are $6. The bacon wrapped quail is $13, and its outstanding. They do the traditional quail hunter way with cream cheese and jalapeño. The wrapping is so tight and well done it’s like eating a drumstick. They also give you a full side of their excellent brussel sprouts with it. It could easily be an entree. 
     

    I’d skip the crap cakes. The steak bites are pretty good and only 7 bucks.

    I will say the Memorial winos frustrate me some. It’s usually standing room only at the bar of most of the restaurants in the hood. Spending every night at the same bar is no way to go through life. It’s a lot cheaper to drink at home.

    Trump is a bitch. Fucking around with tariffs and executive orders only to turn around 2 days later because they turn out to be a disaster is bitchmade. 

    How much are trumps friends making shorting the market?

    I've long advocated that litterbugs should be shot. 

    Drove by a Starbucks cup standing perfectly right side up on the 1 foot wide shoulder alongside the dividing wall of I-45 this morning. Someone stuck in traffic had to have opened their door and deliberately placed it for it to be standing like that.

     

    Cops shouldn't be summarily executing citizens but I think I'd make an exception for that asshole.

    Israel and the US say no to the Pan arab plan to rebuild gaza. I read it and it is well designed. I thought this is what would happen. Damn I was wrong. 

    The US and Israel have rejected an Arab plan for the post-war reconstruction of the Gaza Strip that would allow the 2.1 million Palestinians living there to stay in place.

    The proposal, endorsed by Arab leaders at a summit in Cairo, is their alternative to President Donald Trump's idea for the US to take over Gaza and permanently resettle its population.

    The Palestinian Authority and Hamas welcomed the Arab plan, which calls for Gaza to be governed temporarily by a committee of independent experts and for international peacekeepers to be deployed there.

    But both the White House and Israeli foreign ministry said it failed to address realities in Gaza and stood by Trump's vision.

    so much for the theory he was just tossing ethnic cleansing out there to prompt others to come up with a plan

     

    he's also negotiating directly with hamas, while telling gazans (who are also hostages of hamas) that they need to give up the israeli hostages or it will be levelled, but chummy with russia which has been taking ukrainians hostage for a decade+ now.

    Where do the cruise ships tie up? Seems like developing the area around USS Texas into tourist/historical area. Make money off those passengers coming and going.

    There's a big new cruise terminal at 10 and most of the parking is between 10 and 15. It's a great location for the battleship so long as the industrial bit between 15 and 18 goes away (which, as I mentioned up thread, is the plan iirc).

    When the HEB bakery tortillas first came I thought they were great. Could not get enough. It seems that lately they just do not seem to have any flavor or taste. Anyone notice this?

    Sorry about the 'rona, hope you recover your taste buds

    I don't know, discussing VWs seems apropos to me considering who created them and where we are now as a country.

    This guy has a PhD in economics from Harvard and has taught in the UC System (although not Berkeley or LA).

    And he is a MOTHERFUCKING IDIOT.

    The dumbest sonofabitch in the Trumpverse after der fuhrer himself.

    Based on the evidence on display day in and day out of officials in the Republican party, we need to reconsider what universities are actually elite.

    have you missed all the leopards going after women's faces after they voted to inflict harm on others, but only after neglecting the fact that anyone using the term 'DEI Hire' views them as one? it's amazing people are still somehow caught off guard.

    If the leopards eating faces thread would have some focusness it would be easier to find this out

  10. Long term home will be pier 15

    Quote

    Ending years of sometimes contentious deliberations, the Galveston Wharves Board of Trustees agreed Tuesday afternoon to berth the Battleship Texas at Pier 15, securing a long-term home for the historic warship and adding an important new element to its growing suite of attractions.

  11. Y'all haven't figured out that you should get to the theater 15 minutes after the scheduled time? There's at least 25 minutes of ads, so that gives me 10+ minutes to get snacks and hit the head. 

    Complaints: at $15 a bucket popcorn has no excuse not to be fresh. Fuck Regal for switching to Pepsi and charging for japs for my naoch. Bringing a small can with me next time.
