@Bozo_Casanova...Dude, just because I don't agree with your way of "gerrymandering" using "communities of interest", which are completely nebulous doesn't mean your way is correct. In fact, what IS your way of defining districts? @Bozo_Casanova And my apologies to @bolverk because I said I'd give a better explanation of my view...sorry I got really busy and haven't done that. I've got family coming into town this weekend so I think it'll have to be next weekend,
-
I'd invite you over to watch the game, but it wouldn't be on because I'd be watching the Aggies. At least I'm not blaming the Rona on it, though.😉 Actually, though...I'll be going to Costa Sur tomorrow so I'm sure I'll see a few Longhorns there since our games are at the same time...
-
The breakfast tacos at La Palma are awesome...and big.
-
I've heard Water Street Oyster Bar is pretty good. But, then, like you, I don't go eat over in that area much. I have had the Yardarm recommended numerous times, though.
-
They were the last time I drove by them. Haven't been in awhile, though. Oh..and I forgot Island Time for sushi - really good stuff. Scuttlebutts has decent sushi but it's half price during happy hour which makes it taste better.
-
I'm pretty sure most places on NPI will do takeout. Angry Marlin is really good. They're open for regular service and it's generally not too busy there. Lots of well spread out tables outside and usually live music. Scuttlebutt's is good. Service is pretty slow lately, though. For Mexican there's La Palma and La Isla and both are good but we usually get La Isla. Padre Island Burger Company is pretty good too. For Pizza there's Padre Pizzeria and Brooklyn Pie - both really good.
-
That's probably due to the storm surge from the hurricane. The last storm in the gulf had the water up REALLY high - it almost went over my lower bulkhead and all my docks were 18" under water. A buddy of mine said his dock was just underwater this morning (it's not too bad at my place yet but I'm way farther back in the canals). FYI, we're on NPI about 20 min south of Port A. If it comes up like last time you won't BE ABLE to drive on the beaches because the water will come up too high (it was at the dunes here).
-
I haven't seen any cars outside of it in months...so I'm going to guess no. I did hear that Pelicans is opening up since they had a kitchen in the building that they've fired up to make the required food...
-
I've been working from home on my back patio today. It's been amazing...low 80s and just a light wind. Going to have to do some beach time and then ski canal time this weekend with this weather.
-
If you're willing to drive a little (20 min) from Port A, there are a number of places with TVs to watch games on N Padre. Padre Island Burger Company - Can't sit at bar though so I'm not sure you get great views of TVs Padre Pizzeria - Haven't been since COVID, YMMV Boathouse - downstairs bar is nice and quiet Costa Sur - Haven't been since COVID but it was a good place to watch games. Lots of TVs placed at eye level behind the bar Angry Marlin - Nice and quiet, becoming my new go to bar here on the island. I'll probably watch my game at Boathouse, though.
-
It got about within an inch before coming over the lower bulkhead. Luckily it stopped. Dropped about a foot today so our docks aren't underwater anymore. Water was up to the dunes on the beach in a lot of areas. And apparently, The Waterline at Doc's (the bar under the restaurant) had water all the way through it since it's at the same level as all of our docks.
-
Well, water is WAY up right now in the canals. Almost over my lower bulkhead. All the docks are a foot under water right now. This is worse than Hanna. Hope it stops soon...
-
Supposed to rain Sun-Wed and clear up after that..."Supposed to". Depends on what Beta does, though. Probably be a lot of storm surge in the Gulf so swimming won't be advised during that time...maybe it'll ease by end of next week.
-
Their smoked amberjack dip is fucked up good. Really sucks to hear they're leaving.
-
I've got some Monkey Shoulder. Really good for just any day drinking. I've also got a bottle of Johnny Walker Blue. Now, I doubt I would EVER pay $200+ for a bottle of scotch. I'm too cheap for that. BUT...when I go to St Martin over Christmas for vacation, I hit up Phillipsburg and get a bottle for $95. Because I WILL pay $95 for a $200+ bottle of scotch. It's pretty tasty stuff.
-
Going to have to be tomorrow...I bit off more than I could chew with the work I had lined up today and I beat the shit out of my old body. Going to go have a few beers and listen to some island music to try to ease the pain. Just didn't want you to think I was bailing on the discussion...
-
Because I know the policies I support, I'm either trolling or stupid? And you don't know the policies you support but you're not trolling or stupid? Makes perfect sense...in 2020...
-
My brain works?
-
It's too late now, but, I'll try to get my response to this tomorrow if I have time. I've got a shit ton of stuff to do and then I may have a community of interest with a fruity rum drink and the beach...
-
Yeah...I think you've been in on them for almost that whole time, too. When did you fuckers get so old?
-
So...platitudes about how to achieve your goal. At least I put out my view on the issue with ACTUAL ways to do it. As to the other...I call bullshit. 😜
-
Meh..I picked it because I found it amusing. I know you were on HF, so if you'll remember, my avatar over there was the Aggie Yell Leader chasing the SMU male cheerleader with a saber. That dude was an idiot, but I also found it amusing.
-
Describe how do you achieve "compact competitive districts" in Texas with the number of Representatives we have now? Don't just drop platitudes. You act like I don't know your political persuasion after discussing things with you over 20 years (goddamn it's really been that long).
-
I do NOT disagree with that. The population has grown enormously but the Representation hasn't. Which makes this utopian "communities of interest" goal of bozo's extremely hard to achieve. Again. I don't disagree with the overall goal. But, with the tools we have NOW I have my view of the best way to get somewhat close.
-
I assume you don't live in the part of Oak Cliff where your kids go to Dallas Carter, right? But, I'm sure that area has the same community interests as your area does... But, again I was just bringing up Dallas County as a small example. Duncanville and Las Colinas. Both cities in Dallas County. I guess their communities of interest are almost identical. Even though they vote for candidates from totally different parties. But, Flower Mound in Tarrant and Ranger in Eastland County must have no communities of interest, even though they both vote for candidates of the same party...
