  1. Too many years since I read the books, but (per Wikipedia) Heinlein's Neamiah Scudder became leader of a theocracy in 2012, with the ensuing revolution in 2100. Seems many fictional prophesies were too close to the truth.
  2. I'm 75 and agree. The assassinations, police beating protesters, overt violence was worse. On a one to one basis, groups openly discriminated. But the system was still viable. Nixon had his enemies list, but outrage and push back occurred when it was publicized. Now, I have greater concerns about the middle class and youth stepping up and righting the ship. We may be in for a loss of our democracy as we know it. I hope not.
  3. You have to mix the Scudder's also. It's just the CM is still thinner after mixing. Both are just peanuts, so there is no other difference.
  4. Not my favorite. Too much oil. I prefer Laura Scudders, which has been in short supply at my local store.
  5. And they even have a strategy for when any criminal cases do get filed and tried:
  6. Port A is the same way. Beaucoups carts with Trump and LGB flags all over. The guy at the Tropical Snow trailer was wearing an Infowars.com tee shirt.
  7. Will finish tonight. Wife and I have enjoyed it. I've really liked Toni Collette's acting.
  8. I tried these the other day. Okay. Would buy again, but not regularly.
  9. FIFM. I saw at least two stories about it both on KIII (Corpus Christi) and KVUE (Austin) weather in the last week. Maybe it was not as popular in Houston or DFW markets.
  10. Agree. Our grandkids either thank us in person or via text, depending on the circumstances. I'm not sure what they would do if they had to write an old fashioned letter. Our children were good in making them aware about thanks.
  11. Emma Roberts and JoJo from Aquamarine.
  12. All I know is a) it wasn't on the drive through menu b) that's what the cashier told me when I tried to order one and c) he suggested I contact the company (which I did).
  13. Stopped at WB in Southpark Meadows today and they told me the jalapeno cheddar biscuit is discontinued. And so it begins...
  14. I'm mad as hell and I'm not going to take this anymore!
  15. It's because he's American. He said he came over to England to avoid the draft after the draft lottery. Married an English woman to be able to stay.
  16. Watched the first episode last night. Pretty good so far. Big Merchant and Walken fan, so the cast is a hit.
  17. Why is KXAN running an Amy Schneider rerun when new contestants are scheduled?
  18. Sorry about the poor quality.
  19. My Echo SRM 225 won’t stay going or loses power under a load. I have changed air and fuel filters and it has always been run on Tru-fuel. Today, it did fine for a couple of hours. Then trouble trimming. Sometimes it dies when I try to accelerate to full speed. would a carberator cleaner help? It is about six years old, kept garaged, and used about once a month. I need to do some heavy trimming tomorrow.
  20. Access to UT Google apps (including Drive) will go away at that time for all who are not students, faculty or staff. The 1 gig is the email storage only. Knowledge Base Article - Service Portal (service-now.com) That really sucks, as I have beaucoup storage out there. Most is backup, but some I need to move elsewhere. Too good to last, I guess.
