    The two boys still at home are competitive climbers. Among the best in the US, so it's more than a diversion. Although, I must say it gets used now as an excuse to avoid homework.

    Wife bought a piano during the pandemic because no one in our household plays or has any interest in playing piano. (Oldest son plays professionally, but lives in New Orleans- vists a couple of times per year). Also during the pandemic, She bought a rowing machine and a ski erg which do not get used. We have a very large living room and all of these things reside there. I am a pretty serious cyclist, so of course, there is no way my prospective trainer purchase can be housed anywhere but the garage which basically defeats the entire purpose of having a trainer bike. Also, garage is full due to the climbing wall we built....during the pandemic....sigh.

    Right now I'm torn between staying at home in southwest Austin and experiencing it on my roof deck and concocting a meeting of flat earthers in the dark zone to convince them that I am a god. Maybe I should do a surly pole.

    From a 2020 article. Paraphrased: Motorcycle jumping, skiing, gear head. Apparently still owns a Corvette his dad gave him as a wedding gift. I guess he can pick back up on those after 2nd term is done

    "assless chaps" is way funnier, especially when you are trying to insult someone. Either way, commence with the thread derail.

    So what the hell does Bidden do to relax? Serious question. I mean I seen him on a bike etc. As far as I know, he just works out and goes back to work.

    USA Today, not in color. Does not compute.

    The more things change... There was a lot of home construction going on when I lived there and we would dig tunnels through the dirt piles that were out in the front yards. We had lanterns and everything. The party came to an end when one of the tunnels collapsed on my friend and we had to dig him out before he suffocated. No harm done, but his mom got wise during nightly clean up and he squealed, so we got a safety lecture about construction sites and all got grounded for being stupid. Clearly some kid statute of limitations expired by the time you got around to your tunneling.

    Thus my family dog when he was just a puppy. He's not much bigger now, but he's got more range

    Does the side of the bed slide open? That is truck upgrade I could get behind rather than the 9 piece trifold tailgate with pimp cane and jump step...or the cyber truck.

    We lived on Melshire and bugged out to even farther north Austin in 1975. There was a big field behind our house that had killer bluebonnets and hundreds of horny toads. It had a track like trail around it and found quite a few meteorite fragments in it. Thin Treeline to the south where I found lots of skin mag "remnants". I was only 7 so not too impressed. Hung out a little bit with older dirt bikers who were probably all of 12 or 13 who smoked and I thought were sooooo cool. Good times.

    Speaking of skating rinks...I was disappointed when one day I was riding my bike over the vacant lot where the trucks would illegally dump construction fill which was honed into ramps and curves and other cool 1970's bike stunt shit, and the next day, was stripped clean in preparation for Playland Skating Rink which I think opened in 1974. We called the vacant lot the "Humpities" . Humpities you had a good run RIP 1974-1974.

    How did I miss this? Hope he is up there with Belushi in that big steam bath in the sky, getting "a piece of the gig". RIP Maury Sline.

    2nd this. A lot of of good and overlooked info in there. It reminded of a book titled something like: Things Your History Teacher didn't Tell You. Which pointed out how much whitewashing American history textbooks have done over the decades. More actual facts than some of Stone's conjecture.

    I think you just love the photo of the sheep.

    I'm better off for having missed the whole SOTU address and rebuttal and getting the cliffs notes here on Surly today.

    I feel your pain being a 50 something white dude who owns a construction company, drives a truck, dips some Skoal, and enjoys hunting and fishing. I had to stop wearing red of any kind. Also, despite the above demographic, I am labeled as that "commie hippy liberal from Austin who went to that commie hippy school" when I go fishing with my Houston buddies. I always tell them, "yeah that bastion of free thinking that is the Red McCombs College of Business". Also a CPA, so I also get the tax side of things as well. Ah Ziggy, will you ever win?

    Can barely see the top of Frost Tower, once the tallest building in the city. Second picture doesn't even have Rainey St. buildings.

    All true. I was addressing it's quality as table fair had it not been polluted.
