  1. @justhookit What's a good breakfast place in town? I'm going to be up there tomorrow morning for a bit and figured I might stop and grab a bite. It's been quite awhile since I've been there for breakfast time.
  2. Go down to PINS and drive a few miles (make sure you have 4WD). This time of year you should be able to find a place where you can't see anyone else in just a short drive. Then let the dogs do whatever because there's no one there to bitch about it... That's what we do.
  3. Yep. Still going. They've got some great burgers, too...
  4. Scuttlebutt's, North Padre Island, Corpus Christi, Nueces County. The Elvis Burger. You can thank me later.
  5. Very well thought out argument for your position. However, it's lacking a certain je ne sais quoi... I believe you're incorrect, however. Carry on...👍
  6. So, Costa Sur was great for the game. They even had the volume on for your game... I had a Longhorn buddy show up to watch y'alls game while I watched mine. He bailed towards the end because it was 31-17 OU...he missed a hell of a lot of good football regardless of the outcome. BTW, I'd forgotten how good the food was there. DAMN...it's good.
  7. They were always good to us when we went to Stingray's to watch an Aggie game. Oh well, I still like the place.
  8. Define what "actual people and their diverse industry" means. Not in platitudes. But by quantifiable means. Because even the most fucked up districts in Texas represent "actual people and their diverse industry" regardless of how they were drawn. The more we talk, though, I think that what you REALLY want is system that has a LOT more parties that represent more diverse elements rather than how the US has evolved to a 2 party system. Something akin to the UK with their parliamentary system...
  9. If you use ANY reasoning other than a grid that just counts people inside that grid, then it's some form of "gerrymandering". Just because they used your biased criteria to put X number of people into a district instead of someone else's biased criteria doesn't change the concept.
  10. @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,
  11. 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...
  12. The breakfast tacos at La Palma are awesome...and big.
  13. 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.
  14. 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.
  15. 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.
  16. 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).
  17. 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...
  18. 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.
  19. 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.
  20. 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.
  21. 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...
  22. 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.
  23. Their smoked amberjack dip is fucked up good. Really sucks to hear they're leaving.
  24. 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.
  25. 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...
