  1. This hits way to close to home these days. My Dad died unexpectedly a couple of month's ago and I am working on getting things settled for my Mom. Basically, making sure everyone gets what they need to transfer items to my mom and close out accounts. Snail mail and Fax are the main way the majority of folks I have dealt with do business.
  2. Got a couple of inches in the 78640 last night. Got hit with a couple of systems. The first one was pretty intense and caused some street flooding around a couple of construction areas. Some of the run off was serious enough that they closed the road.
  3. Chad basically said yesterday was his last day on the air there. I think Chad mentioned he (Chad) was surprised at Trey being gone... that was about it.
  4. Yeah, they are the cream of the US crop. Kids can rake.
  5. or... Monday Night Football with Howard Cosell giving a recap of the weekend during half time. I was allowed to stay up until after I heard Cosell give the summation on the past weekend.
  6. I am not gonna lie, if his hair was shorter in this pic, that could be my father sitting there.
  7. I am just old enough to remember Unitas play. I was a fan mainly based on what my grandpa told me about him.
  8. https://www.espn.com/nfl/story/_/id/34451383/hall-fame-qb-len-dawson-led-kansas-city-chiefs-super-bowl-iv-win-dies-age-87 He was my favorite QB back in the day before Montana came along. One could even argue Dawson was the original Montana.
  9. Thank you, Rimbo...
  10. Basically heard this on The Horn about 5 minutes ago.
  11. New surly motto time? We ridin' with the Mullet Fear the Mullet It's Mullet Time
  12. Can't wait to see how the 9.95'ers spin this...
  13. Dudes like Roschon are always my favorite. He does what is best for the team and then excels after the move. Hopefully he is 100% soon. Can't wait to see what he does at the next level.
  14. For you poor bastards that follow this club on the regular, does Daniels dismissal really change how the team does things or not or is he just a sacrificial figure head?
  15. Parents overreacting or behaving badly at youth sporting events has been going on since the advent of youth sports. I remember when I was walking to the baseball field getting ready to play a game - some East Texas equivalent of Little League. A game had just wrapped up when I saw a mother of a ball player slap her son for, basically in her words... not striking out the last batter he faced to win the game. My sister-in-law has lots of stories about parents getting out of control stemming from her days as a soccer mom for club teams in the Dallas area. So bad at times they banned the parents from matches. Then there are the Moms I used to see wearing their kids letter jackets in The Woodlands. WTF. I bring this up to point out how wrapped up parents get into what their kids are doing My oldest granddaughter is active in club ball and school sports. She played in basketball tournament for her Junior High Team and there was an asshole parent in the stands acting like he was at Rupp Arena when the girls would go to the free throw line. There's that and then watching her play club ball where the whining about the officiating is pretty consistent. I have to distance myself from where the parents(yep, my own family) sit at these games. Bottom line... Mom's and Dad's, your time for athletic glory days have passed. Sit down and shut up and let the kids play the game. Don't put your failed dreams and expectations on your kids. It is their time. Treat the officials with respect no matter how bad you think they are. Treat the coaches with respect no matter how bad you think they are or how biased they are against your kid. If you think you can do a better job then sign up. I say this as someone who has been a player, coach and umpire(part of coaching duties).
  16. If you enter the intersection on a green light or yellow you are good. https://www.onthemoveblog.com/driving-tip-3-wait-in-intersection-to-turn-left/ Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk
  17. People that don't under stand the left on yellow\red concept when there is no arrow. Assert your presence and pull forward into the intersection on the green light you fuck face. You have the right of way when on coming traffic stops.
  18. Hall's dismissal aside, you can't spell stupid without UTPD. Years ago and living in married student housing on Lake Austin, we had a bike stolen. We called UTPD and ended up having to give them directions to the apartment complex we lived in. An apartment complex on University property. Also got ticketed on campus once but since we were living around the poverty line they mercifully dismissed the ticket. Hopefully Hall wakes up and gets his shit together. =================== I hope all of the Big Humans have the same intensity as Banks, if so, Holy Shit.
  19. Crack whores have more dignity than these 9.95'ers.
  20. In Richard Pryor's 'Live on Sunset' he gives an account of being on fire and the recovery process. It is well done and of course hilarious but at the same time you know it is something you never want to go through. He talks about how at first, he could not really feel anything and how the nurses kept coming in and telling him we was going to get better and get "washed" and he follows that up with the process of getting washed. He said basically as soon as they made that first scrub he was begging them to stop.
  21. The type of music she sang was never my cup of tea but she was a great singer and of course beautiful. Loved her in Grease. The sound track from Grease and just her music in general were part of everybody's life growing up in the late 70s and early 80s***. ***Basically, you were going to hear her music everywhere. Get some rest, Sandy.
  22. Smell is the main memory invoker from what I have read. I had to have surgery on my right hand when I was in first grade as a result from an accident. Anyway, back during that time they used ether as the knock out agent. To this day(50 plus years later), when I smell ether, I go back to my first memory after waking up from surgery which is me sitting up on a gurney and getting wheeled back to my room after post op.
  23. I bought the 8track with that song on it. When I started moving to cassettes, that album did not survive the conversion.
  24. I remember 'Great White Line' and that is about it.
  25. I was looking at something on google and it didn't list their 1st four albums in a noticeable manner. I do recall those first 4 now. I think I even thought about buying them when I was buying their stuff but they(the other albums) didn't appeal to me. GI and PoE are peak Styx for me. Pieces of Eight and Queen's News of the World were the first rock albums I bought. I got an 8 track for Christmas with a gift certificate to a record store where I bought those two albums\8 tracks. Blue Collar Man was getting a lot of play at the time as well as We Will Rock you and We Are the Champions.
