  1. Kinda weird, but I had a large Publix 2 miles north of me, and a smaller Publix 2 miles south of me. The larger Publix was great for the bulk shopping, and their Pharmacy and deli was great, but they were complete dickheads at their meat and seafood counters. The smaller Publix south of me was a great pop-in-for-a-few-items store, but both their meat and seafood counters were run by managers that actually gave a shit about their customers. I gave them a lot of business, even with holiday special-orders and custom-cuts, and they delivered every time. It was a weird difference for two stores with completely different sizes and layouts 4 miles from each other. A 50,000' Whole Foods opened up right next to the smaller, southern Publix a month before I moved. Kinda wanna see how that's playing out in the neighborhood.
  2. I lived in Fort Myers for 3 years before coming back to TX. Publix does a lot of things right and they are on every freakin’ corner and generally a very sane, organized place to shop. Is it HEB? No. But things could have been a lot worse.
  3. Maybe they are proud of their service.
  4. TCM in the stateroom. Man...she really IS living the dream! Tots and pears, my friend.
  5. Maybe YOU take it like candy. Some of us are not at death’s door. Eat a salet once in a while…sheesh!
  6. Rest in peace, Mike Howe. Goddammit…..
  7. So…the answer is yes…there will be alcohol involved…?
  8. Read a review from Decibel this morn about the new Shitbrains EP. They’re gonna tour with Brainshit. Talk about a talent-packed bill.
  9. Spoken like someone who’s never had a yard. Amateur.
  10. You must live in really shitty neighborhood.

    Getting old sucks

    The term “enough” is relative, but…hell yeah!
  12. Be sure to pop into The Esquire for cocktails and munchies if that’s your thing. Also, check out Ostra for good cocktails and apps, if not a better than average dinner. Bohanan’s for steak & brown liquor Paesano’s for Italian Will also 2nd the nod to Rosario’s in King William. All these options are relevant when you decide NOT to get in the car, by the way.
  13. When you’re staying downtown, there’s nothing wrong at all with the Blanco Cafe on St. Mary’s. Easy walk from The Westin. Stop in at Sip for coffee for your wanderings as well.
  14. I moved to SWFL for 3 years before coming back 3 years ago. Loved it, had a helluva lotta fun. Was so easy to walk away from, though, and I was so happy to come back to TX, even though my current location is far from what I am used to. Never leaving again I am fortunate in that I get to travel, though. And you are right, persoective is a valuable thing to possess.
  15. Be a man. Eat the goddam shrimp. It’ll turn you into a goddam sexual Tyrannosaurus…just like me.
  16. Drove by there shortly after 11am, and he had 4 cars parked. So good to see people actually coming out for his food. You saw the place and the location. It’s been a bit of a secret for a while. The minute I saw the TM article, I knew that things would change…for the better for him, to be sure (I hope). If you happen to come through again, give a shout. Hell, I’ll even pick up a check for those Surlys that dare to actually spend time in Lufkin…ha!
  17. My Encore is set on 12. I use 6 Tb grounds to 1 liter water. Suits me just fine. If that helps at all...
  18. Enegry is a tough field. I hear that breeding them is a real bitch.
