    The reason Wigs was vomiting on the sideline was because he looked up and saw his stat line on the big screen.

    I wonder what the letter from the random ND fan will sound like this week?

    How has ND not figured out yet that the punter kicks it further than their coverage guy every single time?

    So their savior qb is 9/21 0 TDs and 2 Ints?
  5. Orange&White
    Absolutely.

    But they bring in $1.8B. Then the city takes an extra $150M off the top and puts it into the General Fund. http://budget.austintexas.gov/#!/year/2025/revenue/0/fund_nm

    That's just it; everyone in Austin bitches incessantly about how much everything sucks but they continue to re-elect the same people over and over and over.

    Are there details on that Austin Energy number? Electric Utilities typically have a big line item in the budget to purchase power but it comes out in the wash when they actually sell it. You'd need to see the revenue chart to know for sure. If it costs $1.7B a year to run a revenue generating electric utility, then everyone involved needs to be fired immediately.

    What happened at the Cock was supposed to stay at the Cock.

    If you take a shot at the king, you better not miss.

    The way that ass has grown in the last 5 years they would look more like a tent.

    You also have to factor population density and topography Lower density equals more pipes in the ground equals more maintenance. More terrain elevation means more pumping. More rocky terrain equals higher cost to install. Another interesting thing to look at would be the amount each utility is required to transfer to their respective City General Fund. I think Austin Water is required by Council to transfer like $60M a year to the General Fund. AE is sending like $150M/year to the General Fund. And lastly, just good 'ol fashion government stupidity and graft.

    A few months ago we moved from Austin to a nearby suburb. It makes reading this thread far more entertaining and far less maddening.

    Not sure if serious……

    Your favorite council member was rushed to the hospital during a budget meeting today. I’m sure everyone will send their condolences.

    Ok, OK. As long as YOU study it and think it is overblown, we should be good to go. I'm sure we don't have anyone working on this issue in the Pentagon or CIA. That is a good opinion piece and thanks for posting it, but that one section made me laugh a little bit.

    Just got the LCRA alert for opening of Starcke dam

    I think we can also go ahead quit putting a sign on every bridge in the entire state that says it might ice over in a freeze.

    Played golf at Shadowglen today. Had a chip in eagle on 9. It started drizzling on 11 and they shut down the course. You’re all welcome.

    The way the sage bushes are blooming I’d say we’re gonna get some good rain. Just drove around town and they are thick with purple.

    Got ~1/2" between 6-7 this morning in 78628. My 10 Dy forecast shows about 2" more starting Sunday and through next Saturday.

    So they are finally getting the American F16s. Can anyone remember the first day they said they were going to give them so we can see exactly how long it took to actually get them in Country?
