  1. I didn't ask for the details, but Ella’s casket was hand-painted with a yellow rose motif, and someone said that Texas artist adorned similar coffins for many of the victims. Danged it was gorgeous, but I was not about to take a photo.
  2. A few years back one of my engineers gave me a ride to my hotel, and he was listening to a podcast about that. My discomfort started when it took him 15 minutes to clean out enough trash from the passenger side of his minivan for me to sit down. Then the podcast made me contemplate one of those stuntman dives from a moving car where I hit the pavement just right and roll to avoid injury, but I was wearing a really nice suit. Later, after taking disability, he confided to me that he had ideated walking into our office with an AR and spraying down everyone in a hail of 5.56.
  3. Jewish, half Mexican, half Chinese is my Rosebud.
  4. Ah the good old days. My now-wife worked at Reaud, Morgan & Quinn at the time. And my FIL was Wayne’s “fixer.” Jack Brooks’ pet name for my wife was “Wayne’s goddamned token republican office girl” who refused to vote for him. That was before her run in with Greg Abbot over Warren Jeffs turned her blue. What a fucking world, man. But hey, I had sex.
  5. Played hooky for a few hours today.
  6. Just had a long discussion with the kind, knowledgable online docent at air and space by IAD. I apologized on behalf of rational Texans.
  7. Chills. Probably the most consequential aircraft in the 20th century. Not just any B29.
  8. 950k? That's about a quarter of the Mississippi river’s average flow at Baton Rouge. On the Guad. Hard to wrap my head around that. I am absolutely dreading a visitation/funeral tomorrow.
  9. That's the dining room I remember. My last visit was probably ‘93 ish.
  10. Bravo. And the enchiladas from the kitchen therein.
  11. Kinda like that SNL skit where Eddie Murphy did whiteface.
  12. Which is exactly why we need sirens. If it were up to Meta they would find a way to sell each land/home owner their own personal flood gauge and set of sirens.
  13. Thanks for posting, but Dammit Cory can't you do something thoughtfully quietly and dignified without making it about you? I had to block him during covid. Fucking politicians. Still the first guy I’d call if I ever got arrested though. Ella’s mom said her Facebook has become a “river of grief” and took a hiatus.
  14. That's how I was surprised with a new leased S-Class in my BearSchlong 1.0 simulation. Fuck I love version 2.0. My overhead is about 75% less. Except rn I got sucked into taking her to see Rick Springfield tonight with my son’s in-laws. The Woodlands GILF watching might be amusing.
  15. I think it was PJ O’Rourke who told a story about how when the Saudis were first swimming in oil money they would trade in their Benzes when the ashtrays started overflowing.
  16. There's no way that's only 38k steps! Oh wait, LPGA? She probably hits it pretty straight. I wonder how many clubs she carried?
  17. Is anybody here familiar with an ETF trading firm called tradr? I've done really well with ASTS and they have obviously developed a derivatives trading model for that one stock. ASTX is the symbol. Not sure if this should be on the stonks thread but whatever.
  18. They are far from OTC. Costco hearing aids are awesome and usually no more than $1600. Their audiologists are great and facilities are equivalent to hearing tests that I have done at my ENT clinic. I went with the Phillips, almost 3 years ago. My dog chewed one up last week and Costco sent it back to see if it could be miraculously repaired. That said, Im getting a new hearing test and will buy a pair of the 9050s because I was so pleased with the previous model. And if the old 9030 can't be repaired, I might buy two pair of the latest model to have a backup pair, since Im 90 miles from the closest store, and I travel a lot and am rough on them. I can't live without them. Their repair and cleaning service is wonderful, and usually takes no more than 10 minutes, even if they have to swap out new speakers. They sell about 4 different brands (Sennheiser, Jabra, Philips and one other), and I can usually find a few hundred in other purchases whenever I make a Costco run.
  19. I haven't watched any episodes of the Huffman’s recently, but I suspect the parents have a history of alcoholism, fucked up religion, and lib derangement disorder. The wife was talking about how she had major organ damage due to alcoholism and had her gall bladder removed. I feel sorry for their kids.
  20. I'm scheduled to be on the Presbytery call this Saturday. Mo Ranch is on the agenda, so I’ll probably get a briefing.
  21. Watching the latest season of Quarterback. Mainly for every second Goff’s wife is featured. That dude is doing it right.
  22. Read on your recommendation and enjoyed it. Appreciated it greatly since I spent a week on the island last year and could visualize it in my mind. My wife goes nuts buying local art on our travels so I’ve got a painting of the Casino in my dining room.
  23. Wrong thread, but I can't resist fucking with some people/bots.
