  1. Ok old man, wrap it up
  2. Similar to gun control debates the ‘prosecutor’ just called Paxton the top law enforcement official in the state, so their entire case is ‘moo’
  3. Block is cornier than Garth “Mr Yearwood” Brooks with his false modesty bullsh.
  4. I posted on here about a trip years ago so grain of salt… vieques get a jeep and go backroading to secluded beaches you’ll have to yourself. Just don’t hit any wild horses.
  5. Yep I’m trying to sort through where to put some cash on a REIT that is heavy cash currently as there could/should be some solid deals. still thinking the general supply demand fundamentals are still decent for Texas multi fam, but pricing needs a reset with the rate hikes. heard from a buddy today that asset managers/owners he works with are giving strong consideration to handing the keys over to the bank. The sobering thing for me is my reference point is mainly Texas multi fam, and if these properties in this states economy/population growth are going under then the whole country must be in major danger.
  6. Meanwhile assessors valuing a class on sub 4caps in central Tx. Roll a closing statement into Harris cad for 20% below assessment and get ignored entirely.
  7. Snap Block to reality with firing off a +11
  8. Hi ALPP with your sweet ass reverse split that you’ll never ever ever recover from. Write offs for years boys!
  9. Between office market turmoil and multi family speculative purchases on floating rates the last 18 months, commercial RE is about to get lit the f up. Shit tons of apartments underwritten with debt service that has ballooned 4x since purchase along with outrageous insurance premium bumps, and rental rates plateaued due to general inflationary pressures/job losses on renters.
  10. I was thinking that no matter what happened game 1 Witt shouldve started today to stay on schedule.
  11. Galvan is the hitting equivalent of minchey
  12. Sydney Powell step right up
  13. scans came back on my dad and it’s bad. When talking brain/cranial cancer the words “fingers” and “extensive” strike a sharp chord. Still sorting through it all, they are not certain if it’s the prostate coming back around or sarcoma, fortunately minimal pain. A body scan coming up to see true extent, talks of radiation and killing his testosterone in case it is prostate then immunotherapy. If it was chemo I’d wager he’d decline. hardest part is my mom went into it thinking it wasn’t going to be too bad of a report for some reason even though all the signs and history said otherwise, not sure if delusion or denial. It hit hard. Not much sleep happening tonight.
  14. Been trying to tell y’all on here. That dude is about to blow up, very personable on stage too. Saw him at gruene last summer and had hell finding tix bc it was sold out.
  15. Holy shit why did they give tornado boy the ball?
  16. If 5% is a go then no doubt. The word today is they’ll settle on 7.5% for homesteads only.
  17. House passed the senate bill on property tax with a major edit to include 5% caps for all property. They also granted Dan Patrick his 100k homestead exemption. Goes back to senate but Patrick has said caps are a no go. My guess is they allow the 5% cap on homesteads only along with the other rate compression/exemption bump for homesteads. brint Ryan and Bettencourt have way too much on the line to allow caps, Ryan has dropped 100MM or more on acquisitions of prop tax firms the last couple yrs that go poof overnight if commercial caps hit (trying to ipo). And Bettencourt has a fairly large prop tax firm that also goes poof.
  18. Fits right into the college station campus aesthetics
  19. I tried the hand roll place a few yrs back and didn’t think it was anything special. Little Lilly is solid. shout out to the city on discussions of throwing tax abatements to auto haus to move to clear fork. talks of moving a damn car dealership to a 200k bldg in shops at clear fork.
  20. Guessing it was up to match the effective price oke paid, definitely a premium as of fridays trading price but it was also tied to share price of oke.
  21. Probably documented on here or elsewhere but pops is set for brain scan tomorrow. His ophthalmologist is quite concerned (eye bulge, dizzy, lethargic). Assuming the worst this would be the 5th bout of cancer in ~12 yrs… prostate then a 7 yr break before all hell broke loose with a sarcoma in shin, followed by chemo killing his kidneys off, only to have cancer return to his plura/chest cavity (was given last rights and hospice talk before keytruda saved him in less than 6 wks, been subject of white papers bc of it), then a year later he had to have a lime removed from his brain and been pretty steady/ok-ish for a few yrs. #run-on So here we are again, expecting more bad news. No cr but he’s kinda trumpian, how the hell is he gonna wriggle out of it this time.
  22. When some water head has thrown that around in regard to some common sense approach to a problem that doesn’t fit their political stance… why the fuck should I have to leave it, what’s wrong with wanting change and improvement and voting/working for that. Feels like Michael Bolton in office space, why the hell should I have to change my name.
  23. Oneok buying Magellan (have a hefty OKE holding from covid dividend sniping, hope this doesn’t bone it)
  24. Finally getting a seemingly solid high end sushi joint in FW, Musume downtown. The original is in Dallas. FW really needs a good big night out sushi spot imo (is there one currently at all? Shinjuku maybe? Quince?)
  25. What’d davey say exactly? only been catching the HZ a little this week. Usually like Monty/Jake but the bad bit segments have truly been bad bits.
