Today many would-be undergraduates are offered a road to the Flagship through spending a year at UTSA. It strikes me that this is similar to how high schools have both a varsity and junior varsity team. Since intercollegiate athletic transfers have been very liberalized, I think we would create a new (old) paradigm. UT only has so many scholarships. But UTSA has some, too. It may be that you would like to get a year of playing time rather than redshirting. Or maybe the coaches don't think you are yet worth a schollie. You might offer a greyshirt or as spot as a preferred walk-on. But maybe UTSA could offer you a full ride, with the notion that if you perform you can transfer over to Austin. Texas would always keep a couple slots open for UTSA trabsfers. In essence UTSA becomes the junior varsity team. The flagship could invest in the weight room, nutrition, tutors, and coaching for athletes at UTSA. Maybe there can be some similarity in playbooks, or at least techniques. Thoughts?

Hypothetically, if I had an 11 year old could I lie about the birthday and get them a pfizer?

This is like super bowl squares, right? I got $5 on Africa.

Does HB 1925 ban kayak/canoe camping?

Awesome. Hopefully the rain from this week will keep it from being too boney next weekend. I confess I reread Louis Aulbrach guides all the time. Really want to do a Pecos float sometime.

4.5 hour movie of a dude canoeing in the Yukon (Hess). I recommend the whole thing.

Pfizer to be approved for 12-15 next week. Source" a tweet I read citing a NYT article I didn't click

The Perd and general healthy flows from other tributaries should put 5 ft on Travis over the next couple of days. Maybe more. A good way to start May.

Fwiw right now there is enough flow to do Colorado from FM 45 to 16 or 190. A segment very rarely run.

I think I've caught the kayak bug. A year late, but the way the market seems to be! I've got some canoe experience, but am thinking of buying a kayak that I can do some day and overnight trips with. So not so heavy I can't manhandle things, but big enough to carry my backpacking gear and sundries. I have a square stern discovery if I want to take the kiddos out. This would be for me. I've been on some sit on top kayaks. Just smaller ones, paddling around the lake. I don't mind getting wet. I've done a fair bit of wilderness canoeing. A couple of trips to the Yukon, Big Salmon. Took my wife down the Upper Missourri before the kiddos. Recently did the west branch penobscot in maine. So I like canoes, although I've also had some strenuous days fighting the wind, so a kayak is sort of appealing. At this point tentatively leaning toward the hybrids. Maybe a discovery 119, but also looking at ultimate 12, and ascend h10/h12. Whatever pops up on Craigslist or FB msrketplace. Anyone have any thoughts? Ideal craft would be good for the kind of shallows and pool & drop we have in Texas. Enough capacity for a 225 lb dude and 60 pounds of gear. I'm thinking that means a capacity of 350, but ideally more like 400, using the 80% rule of thumb. Likely use would be Colorado from FM 190 to the lake; Upper Guad; Nueces/Frio/Medina; maybe something farther afield like the Buffalo or Current.

Did they half ass the response - let him get away - because they think he will "turn himself in" later? A fella might think he got the kid glove treatment because he was on the other side of the blue line. Not me mind you.

(I think) The valuation goes up, but your taxes will only go up the cap percent. But next year is another 10% taxable bump. So it smoothes it and slows it down, but eventually catches up. I figure even at my valuation if I did a FSBO sign I'd have 5 cash offers well over by Sunday night. So I ain't gonna protest.

I'm pretty sure I could be canceled just saying Jawa in the OP. I ain't touching Sand People apologies!

Next monday is the year-long delayed return of NW Austin bulk garbage pickup. Hopefully Sunday and Monday will be pretty dry, because I hate to see stuff get ruined that the Jawas would otherwise savage. I'm not even mad, its diverting stuff that otherwise would end in the dump. I've got a propane grill that I fixed up and use at the ranch. This weekend is going to be epic.

2nd Moderna jab. About 45 minutes later,, I was driving home and suddenly felt this overwhelming and irrestible urge to hear Matthew Sweet's power-pop ballad classic Girlfriend. Was it available for free on Amazon prime? Yes it was. Whereupon I rocked like it was 1991. I'm going to enter it into the FDA self report side effect database.

I get my 2nd on Easter Sunday. I sort of enjoyed the country drive by myself to Bryan. So of course now it's a family wildflower spotting venture. I don't even get pie in Marble Falls since we are going wast. I have decided the Covid pandemic is officially over the day James McMurtry takes back up his residency at the Continental Club.

Finally APH sent sent email asking if I got a jab somewhere else. I bet that data (Travis country true vaxx number) will be interesting. I bet they were not collecting address info from vaccinations across the state. I just don't think the state is that together.

And remember that's flat out not getting it. The numbers for "not fucking dieing" are likely even better.

I liked South Llano. We did a day trip there last summer. Nice river to wade and swim in. Wasn't busy. But there aren't the fun hikes you might have at Pedernales or Garner. It's pretty much just the river. If you have 2 cars you could buy cheap tubes and float a bit.

You know what, murder solicitation might be a good use of my covid stimulus check. Thanks CBS!

Wife won the APH lottery (teacher day 1 eligibility) for today and I found a CVS vax appt a reasonable drive for Sunday. I'm kinda psyched for a few hours in the car alone.

I read that it's possible all our st augustine is fucked. My yard is 60-40 Bermuda and st a - whatever works with minimal watering. Bermuda just doesn't grow under the best shade. Ugh.

Upgraded my nasal irrigation from a 250 ml bulb thing to a 500 ml bottle. Now use 2 saline packets per. I recommend it.
