    SB 7 is all common sense stuff.

    Those bitching and complaining about the voting rules, are just people looking for reasons to bitch and complain.

    These are all rules, that should have been in place, all along.

    FWIW, I’m as Independent, as Independent can get.....so, I have no bias in this game.

    allowing a judge to overturn an election without proof of fraud is common sense?

    drink more.

  2. the number of old, white, retired people getting their teeth worked on, their nails done, and buying their viagra makes Progresso pretty safe i think lol 🙂 

    we hadn't been to SPI in 17 years or so...i had forgotten how different it was than Port A (where we've been going 2-4 times per year since).

    the beach was SO much nicer! i don't know how but there was hardly any trash, even on the drive-on section. i guess the way the currents run in the gulf, not as much random debris gets deposited down there. very nice.

    also...much more diverse, obviously many Mexicans vacationing but also lots of Indians, Asians, black families...

    i'll admit, it was a nice change from the giant trucks with gadsden and confederate flags and blaring bro-country 🙄

    it actually felt like a resort/vacation destination. really nice. and perfect weather all week! 🌞

    I wonder how many of them don’t realize they just moved to the face of the sun. I can’t wait for the bitching in a month.

    haha right... that listing above has a lovely completely uncovered rooftop deck and an adorable outdoor dining nook... they probably have visions of all the al fresco dining they'll be doing lolol.

    Texas, the land of fire and flood, with a couple of glorious weeks sprinkled in between. 

  4. we went to the one in Port Isabel bc we were over there...wrong one? had a funny tasting house marg to start, i finally concluded it had grapefruit in it. fried shrimp (good) and fish (rubbery), and blackened redfish which was quite meh, bland mashed potatoes and frozen broccoli lol

    but! Laguna BOB made it better! lol 😎 good drinks, shrimp and fries were excellent..but the big surprise was the fantastic ceviche! highly recommend

  5. scores so far...

    Dirty Al's - 2 👎 not terrible, but very mediocre. maybe a bad night? would not return. 

    WannaWanna - 2 👍 and 🤘 bartender had Longhorn tattooed on inner wrist 😁 i'm getting one of those! lol

    Arturo's (Progresso) - 2👍on a hot humid day...GREAT rest stop! margs are lit!

  6. i've seen the ISS multiple times, i frequently check it's path. it's really weird in that unlike some of the far up satellites that are just a tiny dot moving across the sky, with the ISS i literally get the sense of it being a vessel...

    one time many years ago it was being 'chased' by one of the shuttles that was going to dock with it...both of them came straight over our house, in a line, so bright and clear, i swear i could almost see the light itself (like, the actual light fixture or whatever). it is so much bigger and brighter than other satellites! that was a real trip!

    Didn't the mom kill herself and the son is completely estranged from everyone?  

    Is there a GQP greeting card for something like that? 

    It's easy to grin, when your unplanned fetus comes in and you've got mental illness beat. 

    But the son worthwhile is the man who can smile 

    When his mom's blown her head off her feet.  

    i mean i didn't want to laugh at this. but i did. 

  8. umm...i was unprepared for how busy it is lol 😄 not bothered, more just WOW 😎 happy to see the commerce!

    any guesses if it will slow down a tad midweek, or is this it and we need to eat dinner at 430 daily (hey i'm a trophy wife, man needs to eat 😄)

    feels/sounds like a combo of Port A, 30A and Waikiki 😄 

    i have a long list of restaurant recs from this thread, plan to try many, not cook as frequent as we do in Port A,  breakfast only...
