  1. The freeze on N Padre was BAD. The canals are STILL full of dead fish and that's after they've literally had vacuum trucks pulling tons of them out of the water. The stench in some places is heinous. Luckily, we only had a few dead ones in our canal... The water is just really shallow and the freeze was REALLY long (it was below freezing for at least 48 hrs). Go look at all the palm trees - a large number of them will have to be removed because they're dead.
  2. I had to go to the DMV this week so I headed to the one in Port A (the one in Corpus is a cluster f&%). They were physically tearing down the Giggity's building at the time. Sad times...
  3. As I questioned before. What are you doing to do with a US citizen? Where are you going send them when you deny their entry? Back to where they came from? What if that country won't let them in?
  4. I wonder what the constitutionality is with denying a legal US citizen entry into the US. Yeah yeah. I get the COVID and all that, but still. A US is not allowed into their own country???? BTW, I'm not trying to Cloak Room this. It just seems like a bad precedent.
  5. Official rule from SXM is NOBODY from boats gets off. They can quarantine though. Looks like someone broke the rules... BTW it was weird seeing 4 cruise ships in Phillipsburg and the whole place was a ghost town. Because those ships had no passengers.
  6. My GF and I did 2 weeks in Sint Maarten over Christmas and New Years. Negative test to get there. Probably the safest place to be because you can't get there if you have the Rona. And neither can anyone else...
  7. If you're not part of the solution, you're part of the precipitate.
  8. There is... When I moved here in Aug of 2018 I realized I had never been on the island during football season. So, the weekend before the first game, I literally went to every single place on the island that had beer and TVs to figure out where I'd go for games... The top 2 were Costa Sur and the Boathouse. So, I generally rotated between those two. But...another thing that comes with a good sports bar is a lot of hot waitresses and I've heard that HK has those. I'll probably go check on HK tomorrow before hitting the beach.
  9. I've had a few upgrades to First on AA this past year. They announced they are not doing any drink service of the PA and then proceeded to give me the booze I asked for. But, food was just upgraded snacks and maybe a sandwich or something. Less than you normally got.
  10. The 2 Mexican places on the island offer free chips and salsa (as all good Mexican restaurants do). But, they suck for watching sports or hanging out and drinking (I guess La Palma is in the lower end of "ok"). No one else gives you free chips and salsa on the island that I know of.
  11. I wish I was retired so I could never leave this island again. The IGA is awesome!!! Haven't been to the HardKnocks here yet, but have been to the one on southside. It's a good legit sports bar. I'll go tomorrow and take pics...for...informational purposes only, of course. They learned that ShaggyBevo was fucking NOGO...
  12. No thanks...I was raised Lutheran...😁
  13. An AMEX Platinum PSA: I just got back from my yearly Christmas vacation in St Martin this weekend. I was drinking last night, so I got on AMEX Travel to start planning next year (why not, right?). Right away, there's a splash screen that informs me that I can get a $200 Travel Credit by booking through AMEX Travel and using my Platinum card. I checked a bit and this appears to be in addition to the $200 Airline credit I get with the card. Just thought I'd let you know about this new benefit AMEX is handing out...
  14. BTW, I'll let y'all in on my secret to finding this SFTB... I vacation in Sint Maarten every Christmas. I take a day trip to Phillipsburg one of those days and hit up the same liquor store. Usually, I get a couple bottles of JW Blue for around $120 (no tax there either), but they were out this year. I'm still a neophyte in the bourbon world but saw they had the Blanton's (a LOT of it, BTW) and realized that it was a steal at their price - $135. So, I had them deliver the 2 bottles to my condo. I also bought some Conde de Cuba Extra Anejo 15 year rum that they recommended (same price as Havana Club) and a couple other things. I suggest that if you travel to SXM, you do the same and bring an extra suitcase for your treats.
  15. You'd really hate me if you know what I paid for them...
  16. Picked up a couple bottles of Blanton's SFTB over the holidays. Thinking I should have bought more now... Definitely going to drink one, but not sure if I drink the other or do this selling on the "secondary market" thing you folks opine about...
  17. Probably a higher chance of sun, too...
  18. My GF is putting down half of the payment...she's cool😁
  19. Just spent the weekend down there. Even though I live on the other end of the island, it was a nice little getaway. Had a few Wanna Wannas, dinner and some drinks at Laguna Bob. Oh...and if you haven't before, get A breakfast taco at El Chilango Taqueria. Just one. It's enough, trust me. But, it's damn good. And we lucked out, Corpus got plowed with rain all Saturday while we were down on SPI out on the beach relaxing. Sunday, it was rainy at SPI but we left and NPI was nice and sunny. We're contemplating buying a condo down there, too. I want to get one we can rent out but the GF wants to just make it our personal condo that we can use any time we want...
  20. I used to post on Hornfans and then Shaggy all the time. But, as I've pointed out, this place is like democraticunderground, so I just avoid it altogether. However, bozo keeps tagging me and sucks me in, otherwise I'd leave you to your circle jerk. Hah...you amuse me.
  21. Thanks for showing me the democraticunderground in you...👍
  22. It's kind of amusing to see you decrying factionalism while practicing factionalism... Meh...TexAgs has a bunch of conservatives...it's pretty far right. And this place is a burnt orange democraticunderground. That's why I rarely ever post here in politics even though I used to post on politics a lot on Shaggy and Hornfans...damn @Bozo_Casanova keeps sucking me back in here...😅 Your side bad, my side good. Brilliant analysis...
  23. And, dammit...I had a couple drinks and I'm going to respond. @Bozo_Casanova @Brisketexan "Factionalism"...well, shit. You, me, and Brisket don't agree 100% on how government (at any level) should function/perform their duties. Welp...there's 3 factions. I suppose that each one of us could expend a lot of energy and money to try to get our ideas to adopted by ourselves. But, and stay with me now, what if we each found another person that agreed with most of what we wanted the government to do and then we worked together to lobby the government to implement our ideas (you know, the basis of republicanism). Hmmm...is there any way that could be extended? Yeah...political parties. Is it ideal? Maybe not, but it's what we have, so don't hate the player, hate the game. Hell, even George Washington succumbed to it. Now, I suppose we could live in the United States of Idealistan, where we all sing kumbaya and agree on everything, but we don't. We live here in the United States of Realitystan, where you have to work with people to achieve goals, and that means assembling "factions" of people that can work together to get things done. Democrats and Republicans both do this. Perhaps more parties would be better, although then you can often get the clusterfucks of parliamentary systems. But...it will happen that "factions" group together to get policies enacted. Shit, "factionalism" has been around for all recorded history. Utopia isn't coming anytime soon... BTW, I'm not a 100% party guy. I have problems with politicians from every party, as well as the "independents". I may have other ideas. Please subscribe to my newsletter here...
  24. I had a screenshot of that video as my avatar on Shaggy...
  25. And....this is exactly why I'm not going to play this game...🙄
