  1. This. 45% of US imports are of intermediate goods.
  2. Entire families going to HEB together makes me surly. Leaders in the clubhouse: mom, dad, two kids, and grandparents walking together though the store - every fucking aisle. I see them walking back to their car with two sacks of groceries. Make a list, pick a shopper, everyone else stay home and clean the damn house.
  3. That "fucking legend" kids always gets me.
  4. I really like the fact that all the games are not going to be played at the same time on the same day.
  5. Hey Alexa, I need a new squishmallo . . .
  6. Nice thing about showing up to Mum at 11:00-12:00 on the weekend, even with cars in the parking lot, there's a long line of hipsters getting coffee and the food line is short.
  7. Stopped at Kolacny's Bar-B-Q House in Halletville yesterday on the way to El Campo. This is a place listed in the 2021 TM BBQ Honorable mention and receives good reviews throughout those who like obscure, old-school barbecue - like the podcasters on Tales From the Pits. We got there around 1:00 following quite a rush. The original owners, Ervin and Carolyn, were manning the shop because the son and daughter-in-law, who now run the joint, were catering for a funeral. I really wanted to try the pork steak, but unfortunately Ervin said that the only thing they had left was two rings of sausage. Of course I got those two sausage rings and they were great. Course ground with a perfect snap. I'm looking forward to finishing the sausage this afternoon with a stack of saltines. Although its out of the way for almost anyone, I will go back (probably paired with a trip to Shiner). If Halletsville is on your way somewhere, its worth the stop. Even if all meats were available, I probably would have only bought pork steak, sausage, and a half chicken. I don't go to places like this for brisket, which many places have perfected. I go for the simple food cooked in a manner that it has been cooked since the 1800s. The same reason I grab a sausage ring from Smitty's when I'm in Lockhart.
  8. I don't call them mudbugs, but I understand it's pretty common in Louisiana. In different places I've lived they are called crayfish, crawdads, and crawfish. Just don't over cook them and you can call them whatever you want.
  9. I like the show, even though it is pretty cheesy. I watch it as much for the old Chevy & GMC trucks and Suburbans as anything else.
  10. I like the video of the R&R HOF artists, but I wish is had the date of the SNL performance listed as opposed to the year they were inducted into the HOF.
  11. Somewhere around 45% of US imports are of intermediate goods - components that go into end goods produced by US companies. Out of the top countries from which the US imports intermediate goods, Canada is No. 1 and Mexico is No. 2. While Mexican and Canadian companies might absorb some of the costs increases of the tariffs, much of the cost will be fronted, directly or indirectly, by US companies and their end users.
  12. Only an unpopular opinion in places outside of Texas with mediocre barbecue.
  13. From San Antonio Express-News story re: 2M and Castroville BBQ:
  14. I remember so little about season one other than I enjoyed it. I'll probably rewatch the final episode just to get my bearings.
  15. Tempted to go see him at the Austin Rodeo in March. I saw him twice in 2022 when he was on his final tour - glad to see he's not done and more happy to see that he's embraced sobriety.
  16. I think you will probably live. I don't think I would stay that close to the freeway due to the noise. If you are driving, I hope it has off-street parking.
  17. Where is Ralph the Swimming Pig when you need him?
  18. The only way to stop another team's run is to throw 3 point bricks until one goes in.

    Finished the episode today. Sufficient information to be annoying at parties - much like vegans or triathletes.
