    What kind of hazard rules apply to snek on golf course? Is it legal to move snek away from my ball, or vice versa? If snek eats ball do I get a free drop?

    Maybe there's a serial scarf strangler preying on fashion industry tycoons.

    Does anyone recall the specific year that this Wendy's opened? I think it was sometime during my haunting of the forty acres, so sometime between '89 - '93. As I recall there was some controversy over having a corporate fast food chain come into the Union.

    As a tangent to the increasing interior size of American homes, what has happened to lot sizes? Smaller lots are good for density and anti-sprawl and ecological reasons, but they look and function like crap. I grew up in a neighborhood where the standard suburban lot size was about a half acre, which gives a reasonable buffer to let you actually do stuff in your yard, like fly a kite or play ball, and still enjoy a little privacy. I get why urban lots of that size are impossible, but I hate seeing new tract neighborhoods pop up on open farmland or country that have tiny 5000 sq ft lots., with McMansions that are are practically touching eave-to-eave. If it was up to me, I'd mandate a minimum lot size of at least 1/4 acre.

    Did 70's Pintos and Mavericks come in any other color than puke green? Wait, I think I remember seeing some Mavericks in white.

    '79 rates highly for me because (a) Concorde and (b) it's so awful it's a lot of fun

    I believe I can fly! It's amazing that he wasn't killed or badly injured. In the NHRA, Randy Alexander wasn't as lucky last weekend. Car went sideways, crossed centerline and got completely shattered by the car in the other lane.http://www.thedrive.com/accelerator/20663/nhra-racer-randy-alexander-dies-after-crashing-at-over-160-mph

    After I was "updated" a few weeks, ago, sometimes it takes 3-4 seconds or more to open or close the program guide, or my list of recordings, or other settings or informational screens. (Using the HR54 DVR.) Who in their right mind would approve this as being an "ready to ship" interface? This kind of shit is too blatant to be an accident, it must be some kind of psychological warfare program. Not to mention how long it took AT&T to actually give me the promotional discounts that were promised when I signed up. I can't help but suspect that they are routinely misbilling and using their agonizing customer service to wear down customers who don't have the patience to fight it. All that being said, I'm still glad I changed from Time Warner because jesus wept I can't even...

    Watched a German movie from 2015 titled "Look Who's Back" on Netflix. A darkly comedic (mostly) take on "what if Hitler came back today." Some revealing, allegedly-unscripted scenes with this iteration of "Hitler" interacting with various Germans. Highly recommended.

    Sometime around 1993 I was walking to Players and found a gold chain bracelet on the sidewalk near that run-down parking lot on Whitis just south of Dobie. Got $78 from a pawn shop for it. Gold was not worth much at the time ($300-350 ounce I think).

    Does anybody make a durable, moderate-cost, traditional mattress now? (By that, I mean the two-sided, flippable kind.) Everything seems to be pillow top or memory foam or whatever; I just want something like the 15-year-old, Made in USA, Sealy I'm using now, which cost under $500 at the time and has held up well (until now, the fabric cover is wearing thru). But the major name brands seem to have abandoned that type.

    LOL at the traffic density (rather, the lack of it) on that TXDOT video.

    Does it have a killer mural airbrushed on the side, like this?

    Condolences on your loss, phd--losing a parent is always a real kick in the privates.

    One of the few spots on the Drag which has lasted since I was a student. When I was looking for a place to live my freshman year, I know I looked at it, but I only have a vague recollection of it being dank and dark.

    Some storms developing out west (Fredericksburg-Medina-Kerrvile-Uvalde area), moving towards central TX. Odds that they hold together for Austin?

    In the early '80s my family stopped at a DQ for breakfast (do they have breakfast?) or maybe early lunch in Amarillo (I think) on our way to Colorado. I recall the ladies working there were still wearing nightgowns and bathrobes and had their hair up in rollers. It was bizarre.

    Jennifer Lien, from Star Trek: Voyager. In all fairness, I look a lot worse now than I did 20 years ago too.

    About 20 years ago I had a buddy living at The Villas of La Costa, which is somewhere east of 35 near St. Johns. Seemed OK, decent pool and tennis courts. The neighborhood was very patriotic because I could hear the pop-pop-pop of fireworks nearby almost every night I was over there. Also it was close to Pappasito's and Pappadeaux's.

    Does the Co-Op still have that upper level that used to have non-academic books, magazines, and like a camera shop? It's been quite a while since I was in the place.
