My first home UT game was in 1980 my freshman year and we played Arkansas in the college TV kickoff classic (i think that’s what it was called—it was the first big televised game of the season). We beat Lou Holtz’s team. It was a great way to begin four years of generally excellent UT football.

Not that we should, or would, do so, but how many national championships can add from years past because of the way SEC counts national championships?

For Houston guys playing public golf I highly recommend Gus Wortham in EaDo. I played it today. $49. Fabulous course. It was HCC’s course from 1908-1958. It’s in great shape, especially with all the recent rain. It runs along Breas Bayou so you get some interesting elevation changes. On some holes you’d never know you were in Houston. The new clubhouse should be finished in a few months and it will be very nice.

Too many pessimists here. Read some more optimistic views of the future. The Next Hundred Years would be a good start. Also, read Factfulness to get an understanding of why so many of us are pessimists.

I was there in spring 2020 when my club opened 9 holes at a time. I had a 35 and several mid to high 30 nine hole rounds. My handicap plummeted and I thought I would forever be a mid to low single digit index. By late 2020 I was back to an 11 index and I’m still there. It’s a cruel game.

The Memorial Herman reference was a mistake. I meant to type the Methodist system. That’s what they told my mother as the reason why they were having a different time caring for my father.

We did that in the summer with dried mud balls that were damn near rock hard. We were idiots.

In Houston is never going to stop raining.

The people I know who are not getting the covid shot(s) had no issues with the MMR, small pox, polio, and the other vaccines for the them and their children.
-
Many nurses, for some reason, are avoiding the shots. My father is in the hospital quite often battling the last stages of Parkinson’s and just old age and last week when he was there the folks at Methodist Hospital said that the Memorial system has around 130 nurses that can’t come to work because they wouldn’t get the shot. They were incredibly short staffed.

As I was waking up from the anesthesia I had the best feelings I’ve ever experienced. I wanted to go back to that place immediately. I get my next one in a couple years and I’m looking forward to it. The prep sucks but it’s not really that big of deal.

This. During sporting events that I follow on an iPhone app I will get alerts on my iPhone about 5-10 seconds before the scoring play airs on YTTV.

Never thought it was.

Joking, no doubt. Really hard for me to give a pass to obviously bullshit claims of racism.

It takes a large set of balls to ask someone to move from first class to coach so they can bring a spouse up to first. After I stopped laughing I would have said “you’re kidding, right?”

I'm vaxxed, my entire family is vaxxed and the vast majority of my friends and coworkers are vaxxed. I believe everyone who is eligible should get vaxxed. But I know a great many people who are not vaxxed and they don't plan to get it. Many here will think otherwise, but they are not idiots. They are professionals (lawyers, financial types, etc.) or business owners and they are successful. They have their reasons for not getting vaccinated--some have already had COVID, but calling them stupid or mentally ill is not helpful or correct.

New daily hospital admissions in Harris County (pop. 4.7 million) for the last week beginning July 3: 37, 40, 39, 41, 47, 36, and 33 today. Per Seatrac.org.

I can’t understand litter on a hiking trail far away from roads, but a lot of roadside litter is from trash flying out of the back of open bed trucks. Workers don’t give a shit if the garbage they toss in the back goes flying out somewhere along the way. I see stuff flying out of truck beds just about every time I’m on a Houston freeway.

My pecker would be limp as a wet noodle in front of that gross fat ass.
-
I’m not quite as aggressive but yeah.

Vic comparisons are always fair game and make for a good laugh. I’ve seen some of his beauties, but they look like Kate Moss compared to the CK model.

This. No one on this planet thinks she is physically attractive.

That cannot be real. Just disgraceful.

The people that are really scared of flying just shouldn’t fly. We were on one of my kid’s spring break trips to Mexico, or maybe the Bahamas, and a woman in her late 20s directly behind us whimpered and cried the entire flight. She just could not settle down. Her young husband or boyfriend tried to console her but nothing would help. It’s distressing to hear an adult cry and whimper for three hours.
