Well that bouffant didn't fall far from the bouffant tree

Memory jog in the way back machine. Donnie wants to get tough on crime:

....yeah, eligible for parole.

...and convicted felon and rapist.

...so put him in jail then.

Do you guys think the Central Park Five can scrape enough $ together for a full page add tomorrow?

What do think this is, 2015?

This was criminal court. God needs to take his will over to probate. It's one block over.

Reminded me of the uproar at the Crown and Anchor after Vince scored.

He still has his Boeing 737.

Bail should be denied. The guy is a flight risk. He has his own jet for God's sake.

I'll add these convictions to the list of things Donald has in common with Adolph.

Not you Donny boy!!!!

Juries are weird. My CSB jury experience to help fill this dead time. I am not a lawyer. I am a licensed CPA, but I do not practice since I run a small construction company. Civil case Travis County court. Background: Late Middle aged black guy dies on the operating table durring biopsy because surgeon knicked a vital artery in a delicate proceedure. The deceased was terminal with heart disease and some other ailments and had just a few months to live. Family sues Dr. for negligence asserting either he fucked up or should never had performed the proceedure on such a compromised individual. Seeking only moderate damages in the 100-200k range ( or less) as compensation for stealing away their last days with him and his oppprtunity to get his affairs in order etc. Lawyers got the jury up to speed on the ins and outs of the actual procedure and the plaintiff called members of the family who cried on the stand as some kind of emotional appeal. Plantif calls their expert witness, a Dr. In the same line of work who calls out defendants negligence and demonstrates with various exhibits. The guy was credible enough and believable. So I'm thinking the defense is going to call their own expert witness to cover up the the plaintiff's guy...and they do. The only thing is that its the the Dr. being sued...and wouldn't you know it, he advocated for himself. So we get back to the jury room for deliberations and I'm thinking this is pretty cut and dry and we need to start thinking about the damages. So we take a vote, and Im the only jurror who wants to find the Dr. liable. WTF people? This Dr. couldn't find one other Dr to back him up and we are just going let him cover up an expert witness? I held up that jury for 3 days before I finally gave up. I have no idea whether the Dr. was negligent or not, but the case that was presented in his defense was ridiculously weak since their only expert witness had the mother of all conflicts of interest. Looking back on it, I think some of it was pride and stupidity on the jury. I also think there were a few racists on the jury. Still, I couldn't beleive that there was not one other person on that jury who would find for the plantif. There were other things that also caugjt my attention. The Dr.'s/insurance company lawyers were much better than the plaintiff's. Their suits were better, their assistants were better, their evidence was slicker and more polished, and their rapport with the jury was better. Their client was composed and well dressed while the plantiff side looked poor, desperate, bewildered, and affraid....and black. The whole thing seemed unfair, except for, you know, the actual evidence. I was not too happy with myself for giving in, but there was no talking sense to those guys and I was a single dad at the time who had more obligations besides work. I left that courtroom pretty down on the American legal system. I dont know how you lawyers do it. Never trust a jury.

What do you expect when a national championship in every sport is the anticipated outcome.

You must have forgotten that most here are Longhorn fans.

Main food source on the ledge is hamgirders. I'll see myself out.

With Yarborough, there are "two" roads: The road through the dunes. The road to the bay. Many a vehicle has been stuck in the dunes. Mostly driver error or totally inadequate vehicle. The road to the bay can get really bad. NPS sometimes closes it because it gets too wet and they dont want jackasses back there tearing it up. As you said, every once in a while, there is some well service work going on and the road gets fixed. The park service even fixed it a few years ago. Of course it never stays fixed beacause they use inadequate material and the land sinks. The park service should stockpile about 10 loads of bull rock just past the dune entrance and encourage people to take it and put it in the potholes piecemeal as the need arises. Problem solved and the road would eventually get stabilized.

Town name does not check out.

Why not both? Seriously, from a young age I always figured that the celibacy thing was a pragmatic rule that tacitly gave gay dudes a place in the church and still be celebate, just not in a heterosexual way. Of course, that has not worked out at all

Im sure the engineers responsible for this minor setback will be given a stern warning and put back to work.

I have a crew that I fish Yarborough with. Camp and kayak sort of thing. Starts getting busy Thursday afternoon. Most of us get down there on Wednesday and that is a hard place to get to. Back around 2008-2015, you could go on a Saturday and have the place to yourself with a little boat traffic.

Louie's on the Lake (Austin) alum checking in. They closed in 1986 due to mismanagement and a bad Texas economy for pricey dining. All you can eat gourmet salad bar and seafood buffet which had king crab, snow crab, fried shrimp, fried frog legs, prime rib and a bunch of other stuff for $18.00 per person, which was a lot back then. Part of the poor management was not having a system of controls to limit food theft by the high school aged guys working the buffet line. Im not talking about pinching a shrimp or two or cutting off a sliver of prime rib and hiding it in the au jus. We flat out just took whatever we wanted. My folks loved it, their two boys helping out with some fancy eats and making a wage to boot. We always told them it was leftover stuff that was going to be thrown away. Sunday brunch was the best because we could dissappear a lot of champagne while working the line. I was the omlet guy most of the time and the 6 or 8 glasses of champagne would help me overcome my shyness and chat up the ladies while crafting their omlets. That's kind of where my problems with alcohol started.

I would keep an eye on that set up and put a couple of pie plates down there just in case. The o rings are notorious for going bad or getting nics in them during tightening and it looks like there might be some wonky stresses due to angles.

No corporate income tax is also a lie. Just because it's called the franchise tax, doesn't mean it's not a corporate income tax. 1986 Austin sucked. The whole state really. That period, economically, was way worse than the 2008 period (for Texas). Yeah, it was cheap, but nobody had any money and everything was just stagnant and old living off the glory of the 50s through 70s boom.
