  1. Also, to keep it real, Austin is an amazing city. But the nice thing about living in SA is that it's a 1hr drive away, so you want to go to a UT game, the schmuck in Round Eock has to drive 30 minutes and I have to drive 65 minutes. He lives in a flat prairie suburb, I live in gorgeous northern SA.
  2. You're forgetting BASIS, which will be one of the best high schools in the United States in a few years.
  3. I've lived all over Texas and SA is by far my favorite stop. I wouldn't want to live here in my 20's though. It's a little too chill. Fiesta Pearle spurs culture civic pride hills and trees mission reach museum reach proximity to hill country like Fredericksburg, garner, enchanted rock, wimberley, horseshoe bay, new braunfels river floating, etc also closest bi city to south padre, marfa, big bend, tons of state parks. easy drive to Austin or Houston. cheap cost of living Traffic is really light except in the burbs tex mex is best in the world great restaurant scene without the hipsters And anyone that says it's hot is an idiot. houston hotter bc it's a swamp dallas hotter bc of concrete and no trees SA is heavily on trees, hills, and swimming spots. summer is great here. Winter is amazing here
  4. Kawhi comes back. Is never the same and always injured. We wonder the wilderness for 20 yrs waiting for the next triplet magic.
  5. Where are you getting underwater lights? I'm seriously in the market.

    Kayaking

    Cheap pelican 12ft from Costco. It did great down the SA river. Did not enjoy having to Beach it to rescue the kid when his kayak got stuck in the chutes 3 times.
  7. KD is the best player on the best team in the NBA. I'd say his decision was brilliant.
  8. Picked up some Ilegal Mezcal this weekend. Very nice. Highly recommend.
  9. I think we sign Kawhi to supermax if it is part of a deal with another star FA we pursue. Kawhi-LMA-LeBron Boom!
  10. Thanks mom and dad for giving each other 23 and me for Christmas. Now I can't commit mass murder! but seriously, this is how the braved new world starts? People volunteering their DNA for scrutiny?

    Sean Hannity

    Can we get back to learning about the sleazy dealings of hannity?
  12. Anyone changed their mind yet?
  13. I just finished a freakonomics 2 part series on the tax cuts. Basically, both sides' economists agree that the corporate tax rate needed to be reduced and that cranking up the standard deduction makes things a lot simpler. it technically adds 1.5T to the deficit, but that's only if the cuts aren't permanent. Therefore it's really 3T cut. dems argue that theres not simply not enough roi on the cuts bc they're too broad, and they could have got the same benefit with less extreme cuts. also huge risk of higher income people LLC'ing to take advantage of pass through rates.
  14. Helping coal miners by letting them get f'd by sleazy lenders. MAGA Tired of winning drain the swamp
  15. Any thoughts on the new scarab rotax jet boats?

    Kayaking

    I just bought a kayak. Hope I don't die.
  17. Any suggestions on where to eat?
  18. -The list is long and distinguished. - oh yeah. Well so is my Johnson.
  19. We have maligned the American voter for good reason (electing dotus) but the same electorate voted overwhelmingly for Obama. He will go down as a mediocre president and a badass human being, but people still voted for him despite accomplishing virtually nothing after his first two years when the congress flipped. trump was an outcry from our marginalized fellow citizens. Was it stupid to vote for this conman? Yes. But they voted for him bc he's the first modern candidate that said free trade isn't fair trade and I'm going to fix it. He totally stole that from the 1980's Dems who became too snobby and wealthy to keep that as a platform to build on. dems need to live and learn; don't run your smugness in and keep it real...no! Keep it treal (I believe that means keep it triple real) and nominate a candidate that is actually relatable.
  20. Russian Vodka...and piss
  21. Went to the spring game and first thing I told my kid was that the defense looked big and athletic. Like Alabama level. Offense looked notably better in execution and body language. I'm optimistic for a ball control offense with a salty defense. I like what Herman is building. Koolaid flowing. Shown me a loss!
  22. Rented a houseboat there once. I highly recommended it. Beautiful lake and keeps you away from the locals. At least until the weekend. That's when the jet boat locals start to party.
  23. This is the spinoff of the trump reality show that most intrigues me. He's a real life Saul Goodman. I can't imagine all the shady stuff this guy has pulled off and I can't wait to hear about it. Fascinating.
  24. So did someone actually get sucked out of the plane?
  25. Has anyone added a pool heater to an existing pool without one? i really want to extend my season from Jun-Sep to May-Oct. also would be fun to crank up the heat one day during Christmas for the kids. if you have, how much $$ to expect and was it worth it?
