  1. Thanks for doing the PVille. Where Sasquatch be?
  2. Love this stuff. It’s amazing how many people are traveling though ABIA. Every month seems to be a new record. If I recall correctly, we weren’t expected to hit our numbers until the early-mid 2020s. Likewise, I’ll never understand the constant desire to have rail to an airport. Outside of perhaps a stadium or arena on gamedays, you’ll find a greater contingent of cabs, taxis, busses, etc. at the airport than any other place in the city. I don’t think I’ve ever had to wait more than 3-4 minutes for a ride at a major US airport. Why has there been such a pressing need for a third runway? Heathrow, Gatwick, Dubai and a dozen+ other international airports operate with two or less runways and each have exponentially more traffic than ABIA.
  3. Yep. Similar to the San Diego video a few months back. Basically a bunch of long-term Navy vets stating they’ve seen some shit while flying which defies anything they’ve known to exist. Pretty interesting.
  4. Damn, I had no idea the ratings were so low.
  5. Lots of laugh-out-loud scenes from BCS but this one was undoubtedly my favorite. I am not the same Chet he is referring to, btw.
  6. Maryland State Court of Appeals grants Adnan a new trial: https://www.nytimes.com/2018/03/29/us/adnan-syed-serial.html
  7. I believe it was just east of Guadalupe near 40th where the current AISD Baker building resides.
  8. At one stage do we reach the tipping point when driverless vehicles appear to be inevitable rendering the efficiency and need for light rail and more roadways obsolete? Surely we’re getting close, right?
  9. HBO or Netflix miniseries of Michael Crichton’s Sphere.
  10. https://www.wsj.com/articles/costs-from-nassar-case-likely-to-exceed-500-million-for-michigan-state-1521975601 http://www.wsj.com/articles/costs-from-nassar-case-likely-to-exceed-500-million-for-michigan-state-1521975601
  11. Uncle Jim Spencer said to expect 3” rainfall totals in the next 24-36 hours. Bracing for on-and-off light to moderate drizzle.
  12. The same group which owned the Italian restaurant in Davenport Village for years recently opened a new restaurant called It’s Italian Cuisine on South Lamar. I’ve been twice, once for for brunch and once for dinner and it’s solid. Very good wine selection too.
  13. I hung out with Don King and Ricky Schroeder at a small private event during W’s second inauguration. Had no idea who Ricky Schroeder was but his wife was hot. Seemed like a cool dude. Also hit Bill Russell with an errant shot off the tee box on a course in California. I did not apologize.
  14. It likely won’t be up to Sparty, but their insurance carrier. The costs could very easily get into the hundreds of millions.
  15. This is one of my all-time favorites. All the historical documents I've seen identify this site what is now the NEC of Koenig and Burnet but I'm 90% sure that's incorrect and it's actually the NWC of 2222 and Balcones/Parkcrest opposite of the vacant gas station and Jack Brown cleaners site. The sign in the foreground is advertising new lots for sale in which would become the Allandale and Highland Park West neighborhoods.
  16. Remember when this show was stuck in production limbo for years and the reports were the writing was all of the place? Glad they figured everything out because this, along with Better Call Saul, is some of the best television going.
  17. HEB at Burnet & 2222: Fifth and Lamar (year unknown): Capitol grounds: Hancock bridge being built prior to Mopac construction (compliments of Deej on the old site): Mopac & 35th n 1910 (?): Austin kids of the 80s and 90s will remember:
  18. My first and only turns 1 next week. Her favorite activities change weekly but this week they included watching March Madness on the couch with daddy and stealing sips of his margaritas at El Rancho.
  19. What are the “div” and “p” at the bottom left of the new post box?
  20. Why the hell would they want revenue? https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=BzAdXyPYKQo
  21. Still getting use to our new home here but I like what I see so far. Gif test: Gif test:
