    Tony Joe White hat tip.
  2. Just read the tragic news and will be remembering you and your family in the days ahead. It is a gift of sobriety to be able to be present and in service to others (especially family) and I know you will be a source of comfort to those you love. Grieving with you in this loss as I remember so many did when my son died of an overdose in 2021. Please let us be there for you.

    Texas BBQ

    Truth. And NOBODY has ever been arrested for driving under the influence of BBQ, so there's that.
  4. Between this and missing the opportunity at age 7 to meet Dobie Gillis at the HEB in Corpus, I don't know how I can go on.
  5. I'd say the median age was 60 on our trip, with low end being 40 and high end 80+. It's definitely an older crowd.
  6. We just returned from this cruise (our first river cruise and first time with Viking). Truly impressive/outstanding service from beginning to end on Viking. Enjoyed Vienna, Salzburg, and Budapest. We had received information for twenty years from Viking and always said someday-now it will likely be where to next based on the wonderful experience we shared with our friends and the crew of Viking Atla.
  7. Saw this as a kid at the drive in during a rainstorm. Had the same reaction with nightmares the following week.
  8. Guy Ritchie is a favorite of mine and this one kept me entertained.
  9. 4/28/98-I stood at the turning point, asked His protection and care with complete abandon, and began working the steps with a sponsor that have given me a life I never could have imagined. There are no coincidences-I chaired the 7am meeting on 4/28/23 at Harbor, we had a newcomer, and the topic I always choose is what it was like, what happened, and what it's like now. Haven't seen him since but hope he is going to meetings somewhere.
  10. El Paseo does good work and I have taken friends there who raved about the food. Catnip enchiladas. . . .hmmmmmm
  11. If you tool over to 3001 W. 5th in FW, let me know. Still owe you a cup of our best 90 weight coffee and some good conversation prior to the 7am meeting.
  12. I worked on the Northside for 21 years and only went there once, which was enough to convince me that El Asadero, Los Paisanos, El Rancho Grande (now the Original) were better authentic options and were less than a mile from my office.
  13. Beat me to it. Great days (or so I thought) back when Caro's was next door and Johnny Day Whitten would deliver puffy tacos to the Oui and you could multi task with dinner and drink-gone. Epic fail.
  14. Closest HEB from our home is 4.3 miles in Johnson County. Would love to have one practically in our backyard and give the finger to Neighborhood Wall Mart, Albertson's, Super Target, Kroger, etc. Miss the days growing up in Corpus where there was an HEB every three miles.
  15. Late 80's through the 90's before all of the designer 'cue joints arrived, it held it's own.
  16. And Smokey's on East Lancaster-used to take a turkey there before thanksgiving every year and get it smoked for .35 a pound.
  17. Thank you for this announcement. I have driven by more times than I can count wondering if the day would ever come when they were open again. Missing the enchiladas mucho. Gonna take home some yardbird the next time I go in there as well, but Drew's is my favorite choice.
  18. Mexican Inn on 8th is the tits-Camp Bowie location sucks. Love me some Mexico Real. Bluebird won't be the same without Robert Ely and never went to the defunct Helen's. Wouldn't be the Showdown if it was anything but a shit show. Missing the late Peter Plenk who was a friend.
  19. Good doggo Sandi. Sorry for your loss-they steal our hearts and leave us wanting more.
  20. Spent the afternoon watching both episodes of Bill Russell:Legend and highly recommend it. Having grown up watching the Russell/Chamberlain rivalry, it was really well done blending historical footage/commentary of their games, interviews with stars from the 60's through today, and a remarkable telling of Russell's life off the court using his voice to address whatever he thought was right.

    Haven't had zavala or brix but do love Panther City, especially the ribs.

    Haven't been to 8th avenue and likely won't bother based on your review. Arlington location has been solid every visit.
  23. Agree. Took a friend of ours to celebrate her PhD and this place has it going on. Atmosphere, 5* service, and a true interior Mexican menu that has options that keep me going back regularly.
  24. Binged season 1 of Truth Be Told on Apple+. Aaron Paul and Octavia Spencer are seriously outstanding as is the supporting cast.
  25. The ramp is a pain but the real problem is sitting on the bridge on BI where two turn lanes exist. After turning left there is always some a$$hole in the right lane who cuts over in front of the left lane that is merging causing a back up or worse, a wreck. And having to yield on the ramp entering westbound I-20 when the lane is jammed up is truly one of the most remarkable failed engineering feats in TXDOT history.
