  1. I’ve spent much of my career working in large cities in Europe, and I’ve taken public transport thousands of times. Not trying to act as some kind of authority on the topic, but my personal view is that subways/trains are good for some things and an absolute pain in the ass for others. Traveling between Munich and Frankfurt - hell yeah put me on the ICE train. Or London to Paris. Le TGV all the way. But I found myself gradually never using the subways/metros/tubes/U-bahns as i got older because they’re a pain and often not even faster than a car. Especially if you’re travelling with business colleagues or especially not with your family. If you can afford it, you’ll prefer a car. Subways in NYC? Sad to say but I don’t consider them safe for my wife and kids to be on. I’ll take them myself but not with my family or business colleagues. I pretty much only take them if I’m going to at a sporting event like the US Open tennis tournament where there are big crowds and a train that takes you right there.
  2. 8th grade. Waco, Texas. Ravishing Rick was a sneaky athletic basketball player at the 2 guard. Played cross town rival school that feeds into Waco University high. Despite some overly physical defense to try to compensate for my deficiencies, I got lit up by a very quick and athletic opposing two guard. Ladanian Tomlinson. He turned out to have a nice career in another sport and even got elected into its hall of fame, but Ravishing Rick could no doubt whip him in pickleball today, so who’s laughing now?
  3. Well, yeah, actually it was in fact me.
  4. Highland Park takes the lead over Denton Ryan with 6 seconds to go on a FG!!!
  5. HP stormed back with a TD, but had the XP blocked. 14-6 Ryan. Scots moving the ball easily on the ground and via the air. Ryan had a pick-six that hurt.
  6. Well, to counter this, a lot of people don't recognize Westlake's underrated diversity - they're roughly 50% female.
  7. Maybe, but I’ll take Duncanville by three scores. North Crowley has a great team but think t they’re getting a lot of hype for beating Desoto who wasn’t as good as many thought this year.
  8. Looking like yet another year of North Shore vs Duncanville. Its 3-2 North Shore since 2018. then I’ve got Longview vs Summer Creek in 6A d2.
  9. My in-laws are what I'd describe as extreme red-ass aggies. They are taking the loss really hard. Like, really bad. It's fucking glorious.
  10. From the Monte Carlo Country Club in Monaco (sorry for the flex…couldn’t resist) TEXAS!!!!
  11. FFS he’s still sporting that chinstrap now that it’s fully gray?
