Liquor and Poker

If I could control my dreams I definitely would. But no luck on that.

I love how if their softball team went 0-whatever they wouldn’t care but since they had a successful season it ruins them because they had to play and lose to Texas.

I had a very realistic dream last night that aggy and the Texas Big12 schools lobbied the state leg to put “salary caps” on player comp because if they can’t compete they wanted to make sure we couldn’t either. Was hard to believe that it didn’t happen for the first 30 minutes I was awake.

Contemporary

Seen a few people throw up. Does that count?

Me too this past August. Simply because I take bp meds at all

Bieniemy is nearing completion of his odyssey back to the wannabe gang scene in West Covina.

Yeah, I had to have this high-ranking federal agent I know explain it to me. He said he is totally legit, FWIW.

Did it happen in one of our great casitas?

My cell phone reception is definitely worse since I recovered. We still doing that?

I never liked the “wide at both ends and thin in the middle” curved design over the original that just used plain romans. But you have a point that the logos all suck. SEC has the benefit of being an improvement over the old one.

I just hope the Big12 finally gets its marketing act together. Morphing coaches, cryptic ad reads over seizure-inducing strobed pictures, I don’t even think the logo was designed well. I would watch the SECSECSEC ads, the BiG map ad or the ad with babies and old people and think “Those look professional. Big 12 ads look like a student media team did an ad for a third-tier sports drink.” Hell, even the Pac12 “Conference of Champions” ads were better. WWE is not the answer.

Is there a tie-in to this spiral-laden occult/magic “we never quite get there” thing in every season? I remember it from the first one but not from 3. Have really no memory of season two except that the cast felt like they chose roles by drawing straws.

Aggy 2025: Next Year is Still Our Year

I get all these media-frenzy “guy-kiils-wife” or “mom-kills-own-kids” cases mixed up. Don’t understand why one catches the public interest over another. When I used to do pro bono criminal defense cases there were plenty of these folks on the list.

No weather issues at DFW. Clear skies both times and she watched other planes take off. She was paying attention-she asked a ton of times and got different stories, sometimes from the same person. But that’s not really what I’m asking. I get that they might just say whatever if they don’t know to get people off their backs. But I’m really asking if it’s some AA thing because other people related similar experiences flying AA out of DFW specifically.

I don’t know why she picked that.

Question for those who know a lot about American. My wife has had two trips on American in the last 5 months. Picked American mostly for the schedule. Both trips were Houston to Dallas then change planes at DFW. Both times (Asheville and NYC) she got to DFW fine, but both trips the second plane did a thing where it would taxi away, sit on the tarmac for hours, come back to the gate, sit in the departure area for hours, then cancel and AA gave her a voucher to a shit hotel and said try again tomorrow. Various inconsistent explanations for why the plane didn’t go depending on who you asked. No known weather issues on either end, though. I fly a lot on everything from Spirit to Emirates, but not much on AA since we moved to Houston. When we lived in Dallas AA was my go-to, partly because hub and partly because I had a company AA visa so expensing was easy. For a lot of people I know and work with in Dallas that’s still pretty true. But anyway I have never had anything like that happen to me unless there was some raging storm or clearly explained mechanical difficulties. And never have I sat on the tarmac for hours and not eventually taken off So I have asked a bunch of Dallas friends an colleagues and quite a few of them say AA pulls this kind of shit all the time. Since they fly AA nearly exclusively, they just assumed all airlines did it. Have I just been unreasonably lucky and people like to bitch, or is this actually some AA DFW thing? Asking because wife right now refuses to ever set foot on an AA plane again.

So does Sayin go to Columbus to learn from Will Howard?

My issue is that graph has changed back and forth over the course of the day from just barely surplus to significant shortage. So they just don’t know.

Well the graph that just loaded on my phone now shows we won’t exceed available again.

Can he go back to Tuscaloosa?

Yeah, the guy on Space City Weather basically just said “we may see rolling blackouts for a few hours” tomorrow morning. He isn’t an ERCOT rep, but since they are sponsored by Reliant he tends to talk pretty softly about that kind of thing.

The more recent 6 day on that page makes it look like we’re fine tomorrow as well. But I expect to be told tonight about some “unexpected” issues.

He said that rural suburbs can be identified by “a disproportionate number of obscenely over-powered trucks that are never actually used for their natural applications” If that’s the criteria, then…
