This gets to me every time. I realize that people are having a conversation that requires at least two people. The problem is that the sound coming across the phone has a totally irritating tone than someone sitting next to you that you are having a conversation with.

Monument Valley is on my TO DO list.

I would love to wear contacts but there is no way on God’s green earth will you find me voluntarily touching my eyeballs. So…I suffer with wearing glasses and trials that it brings.

This right here. People abroad are enamored with Texas. That is why I always go with “Texas”.

I usually go with "I'm Texan".

Going through security at the Calgary International Airport they made all take our shoes off. Not a problem, I get it, but it is a rare occasion for me with all my travels. The problem was that there were no places to sit to put your shoes back on after clearing security. Everyone was having to catch a knee to put their shoes on if they weren’t wearing slip-ons.

The sequence of parking: The Bronco was the first to arrive followed by the Ford truck. The Audi was last to the party.

I had some meetings in southern British Columbia in Fernie/Sparwood this week. I flew into Calgary and drove through Banff National Park and Kootenay National Park and did some hiking along the way. The pics below are from Johnston Canyon in Banff and Marble Canyon and Numa Falls in Kootenay.

I am right there with you. Collectively, among all airlines, I am around 3 million miles flown. I have it down to an art. This time of year is an absolute beating with families flying for summer getaways. -
Our company just sent out a recent survey. We had a major reorg in April 2024 with a completely new senior team, so...... The leading questions of the survey greatly narrowed down on who the respondent is. To recognize me it would be obvious due to department, position, gender, and years of service. So......

I still have this poster. Just no signatures on it.

I use Shreveport as my home airport. I have been on multiple flights with Tim Brando and have set next to him several times and have talked sports from on the flight. Despite the opinion of him on here (all not entirely wrong) and what he gets caught up saying on the broadcast, he does speak favorably about Texas on a personal level. Back when he was still alive, I shared a few flights with Eddie Robinson, the former HC at Grambling University. He was one of the nicest persons I have ever met. He would often invite Grambling alums or students to an event that he was going to. I sat next to the Speaker of the House Mike Johnson several times and exchanged small talk. The last time was about a week before he was elected as Speaker. Haven't seen him since for obvious reasons. Shared a flight with former President Jimmy Carter coming back from South Africa. Once airborne, he walked through the plane introducing himself and shaking everyone's hand. Have sat next to former MLB player and HoFer Lee Smith a few times as well.

Debating on responding but it is pretty simple: The footlocker is recreation of what a soldier would have and the flag is a “trophy of war”. You always see period photos of soldiers displaying their loot. As TwiceHorn knows 88 is the year of my UT graduation.
