I nominate the dude who played Opie in Sons of Anarchy, or maybe Liev Schriever. I also think Cruz did a fine job as Reacher, and enjoyed both movies. THat said, he was clearly mis-cast in that role. The whole Reacher aura and mystique is physical stature, and while I think Cruz captured the essence of Reacher's personality and wit, he could obviously never bring to the screen the physical presence and intimidation so necessary to make the Reacher character feel authentic.

My german cars have been all over the map. Ive had a couple of great BMW's 1998 540i, 2004 335i the wife had was great. Had some ok BMW - 2006 X5, 1996 318ic, and some absolute dog turd BMW's. The shitty ones are more recent, and have ensured that brand is dead to me. No more. Of my Porsche vehicles I can say they have all been fantastic. That consists of 2 911's (still have one, but it's recreational at this point), a 2012 Cayenne S that was absolutely awesome for the 100K miles we had it. The daily drivers we have now are relatively new and still under warranty, but so far so good on them. On the Panamera gts I have only done the 20k scheduled maintenance so far. Nothing else has popped up. The Cayenne we now have was acquired back in September so that one hasn't had anything going on yet other than burning an absolute ass ton of gasoline. Hoping they all work out as well as the 911 and former Cayenne. If so, we will continue to be satisfied customers. I don't know that many people who drive Mercedes so I cannot say much about them. SIL has an S class, but it's brand new. It's beautiful. HAve several friends who have Audis, and they generally seem happy. I had an A4 for a short period of time, and enjoyed it. Nobody seems to be having any major issues. I really love the styling on the current Alpha Romeo cars. I hope yours is one of the good ones. They all certainly pass the eyeball test. My BIL has an old mid 80's AR Spyder that he has had for probably 25 years. It's awesome. He did a minor restore on it several years ago. Great looking car, and fun to cruise around in on a nice spring or fall day.

I have had a few arrivals this week. QUilceda Creek Estate cab, Shafer Hillside Select, Edge Hill (Rudd - Baciaglupi) Chard, and shipping notice from Promontory. May have to sample some over T-Giving.

We hit Eunice last night. Neat place. Samples the duck poppers. Execution on these was a bit of a miss. The bacon wrap on some of them was grossly undercooked. The crisp boudain was phenomenal. THough, they should just call it fried boudain balls. That's what they are. They were exceptional. The bbq lobster was another highlight, and the beed duo was pretty flawless. I would definitely go back, and recommend.

what we need is to get rid of career politicians. Badly. By resetting the age to 55 you would get people who have likely been very successful somewhere in the private sector who can then transition into public service as a way of giving back. That is how these jobs were supposed to be, not career jobs leeching off the taxpayer and being bought by the highest bidders. Making the age 55 ensures some level of experience, wisdom, and success, and also to some degree gives us "term limits" by the simple fact that most will quite after a few terms not wanting to spend their elderly years in the shithole that is Washington. We do not need fewer old, we need fewer career politicians, and relics who have been there for 30-40 years playing the game.

term limits, and reset eligibility age to run to a minimum of 55.

I walked by there the other day. If they're opening Dec 3, they best get their ass in gear.

absolutely unreal. You can feel this guys a$$hole clinch that seat cushion and turn it into a freaking diamond when he's caught in that lie. It's so damn obvious. I think the defense attorney did a pretty poor job of going for the jugular there. He had him by the nads, and basically softballed the thing. He needed to realize his jury pool was not a bunch of people who were going to process a subtle hint of impropriety here. They needed to be beaten over the head with it.

Sessions leaving is not bad news for sure.

Couple of shitty photos, but my 2005 careers s and panamera gts. I’ve had to 911 forever. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a pair of their belly cut gator customs with French toe and walking heel, and longhorn logo in gator on the vamp. To say I love them would be a gross understatement. They're probably the most comfortable pair of footwear I have owned outside the adidas ultra boost, but the boots fit way better. To me it's totally worth the time and investment. THat said, while I do not have any Tecovas boots the reviews on them speak for themselves. Appears they have hit a sweet spot in the market with price, comfort, quality and customer service.

Is that Bobby’s vehicle? If so, it has been crushed and disposed of according to zellner.

I saw The Cult recently on the Bush, STP Cult tour. I liked them a good bit when I was younger, but hadn't thought much about them in years. Frankly found them an odd inclusion in that line up of bands. That said, I felt like they were the highlight of the show I attended, and I am a huge fan of Bush and STP. Cult was fresh and new again. They sounded absolutely fantastic. She Sells Sanctuary was off the charts good. They have been in a regular rotation for me since that mid August show.

I'd say the casting of Mitch Rapp and Irene in American Assassin were absolutely terrible. I did enjoy the movie, but I couldn't remotely picture either of those actors as the people they were playing from the books. KEaton as Hurley was actually a fantastic casting in the same movie.

Interesting tweet by Zellner over the weekend: The Avery jurors knew bones in burnpit planted bc they ACQUITTED SA of that charge. Imagine if SA had blood, DNA, ballistics, trace, fire forensics, pathology experts we have—Not Guilty on everything.

Go on a crocodile rescue with Vince and his team lots awesome.

agree. I was hoping with him going back east BUnchy, Terry, his ugly daughter, and ninny boy son would be completely out of the picture. I am hoping we have seen the last abby flashback as well. THe actress who plays her isn't listed in the cast credits for this season. Maybe it will get going, and back to ray being a fixer. That is what the show does best.

took me 3 days to get through episode one of this season. not off to a good start. I will give it two more episodes, and if it doesn't pick up substantially I'm out.

does such a thing even exist?

you mean people eventually figure out that socialism and no borders is a bad idea? No way. Guess they're just greedy racists like the rest of us.

good luck getting any dinner reservations at this point.

Definitely a suitable competitor. Well done. They do not have this at my HEB, but they usually have it at Whole Foods and CM.

This makes me want to go skiing, and then I realize once I get there it will be terrible and I don't want to go. I miss it terribly, but when I go I can't really do all the fun, stupid shit I used to do when I was much younger and much less surgically repaired. I mostly have to keep to the groomers these days, and that bores the shit out of me while still making my knees and back hurt. May have to suck it up and do it anyway. I didn't go last season.
