    That was on my radar, but so was a high likelihood of storms. Decided not to go. Sounds like it turned out well.

    When my daughter went to UTSA in 2021, they required summer classes as well. Due to covid, the classes were online, though.

    There are most certainly personal guarantees on some if not most of the debt. Also, some tax liability and department of labor liability could have personal ramifications.

    My oldest CAPed into UT and is majoring in economics with a minor in business. Just recently they added a BS econ degree under the school of liberal arts with is much more math intensive. Might not be McCombs, but a BS in econ with a business minor will give a kid many of the same courses. Youngest wants to be a PT. When she was CAPed, she chose Texas State to major in biology instead. As to the question about best CAP school - there are tiers with USTA and UTA being the highest, not all kids get that option. Some CAPed kids have to chose UT Tyler, UTRGV, or UTEP instead.

    Yep. Cedar Park had Winkley's at the SE corner of 183 and 1431 (1431 didn't go east to I-35 until the early 80s) and the Fast Car Bar in the 1980s. I suspect Cyndi's property was lovely before they knocked everything down for her neighborhood.

    While it might not be far off, I detect a bit of sarcasm in futureman's post. I don't believe Black Gold has released a menu as of yet.

    I taught both daughters in my suburban. They can park anything anywhere. Parallel parking is the last thing to learn. With my youngest, I told her to google parallel parking to get an idea before we went to practice. She nailed it first time and I never had to teach anything. I would suggest you google some parking videos. Find one that is simple and uses visual clues (line up side mirror, etc.). Once you find one that you are comfortable with, sit down and watch it with her.

    Happy with a point on the road against a top 3 team. Nearly zero offense - much like some of the earlier losses and draws. Pleased that they have a fairly strong defense.

    It looks like a brand new building. It might not have been finished out at all.

    Hit up Burnt Bean Co. Barbecue today. Arrived about 9:50 and we were the second couple in line. Picture below was at 10:15. Moist brisket, pork ribs, poblano and jack cheese sausage, green beans, coleslaw, queso mac & cheese, and bacon tater casserole. Overall a great meal. Sausage was a really good combination. Brisket was seasoned and cooked perfect. Ribs were a little over for me, but were extremely flavorful. I prefer ribs were you can take a bite without the meat falling off the bone. Many people believe that falling off the bone is the sign of perfectly cooked ribs. Burnt Bean is definitely top 10, probably top 5. I think InterStellar BBQ is better, but not by much.

    I doubt that Inkind really wants to be running a barbecue joint. They will have the same issues as Valentina's - costs, labor, customer base. They're likely trying to recoup as much of their investment as possible. They probably want to sell it, but I suspect they'll have to shut it down eventually.

    I will say that I'd been picking up on that vibe, though. Some overarching mission of the group he is associated with. Several times it was mentioned that the mission was to observe. Sugar never worried about his ability to get through situations where he was clearly the underdog. Stops attack dogs by simply looking and whispering. Not too concerned about internal injuries when impaled by a 9" chef's knife. Fluent in all the languages.

    I guess we'll find out in episode 7.

    Don't you think most of that stuff takes a back seat to the fact that he's actually an alien? Also, bad guys got the helper before the ten minutes expired. It was always going to take more than ten minutes anyway. He had at least a three minute walk from his car to the house.

    Same. Before the Star Wars prequels came out, we wanted to show the original trilogy to our kids. We had a VHS box set of the original trilogy. Ended up finding a VCR at Goodwill for $3.50. Still have it. I have a 1989 Trek hybrid hanging in my garage. I used it for my first triathlon in 2009/2010. 1969 Chevy C10 that I drive every week. I have and still use early 1950's Belgium made Browning A5 shotguns in 12 and 20 gauge. Nikon N4004 35mm camera that I got sometime in the 80s.

    Line wait was due to one cashier. Cashier had to take order, take payment, and grab orders of chips and queso. Horribly inefficient. The kitchen couldn't even keep up with that.

    Not unlike the people that used to put stickers bragging about the badass stereo system that was installed in the car.

    Check with her insurance. My mother's insurance company, Humana, paid for one of the monitoring things. She chose the one to wear around her neck although there was a watch version as well.

    I had cell phone contracts with my girls. Only a couple of times did we have any issues - mostly with not putting the phone away at the designated time. We also required them to charge the phones overnight in the kitchen as opposed to their rooms. I'm sure they got away with things, but they turned out fine. I would not resort to reading their text messages without them knowing. If I had a concern, I would have them bring me the phone to look at in their presence. I don't remember ever having to do that. At one point, the one of the phone passwords was changed, but that was a result of Apple moving from a 4 digit password to 6 digit password. The girls' phones were linked through my wife's apple account. They could not download any apps without her permission. We were able to discuss the apps with the girls prior to allowing them to download. Our relationship with the girls has always been trust until they give you a reason not to. YMMV

    Ending a sentence with a period. My daughters (no pics) comment on my use of punctuation in text messages. I think I'll start using "over" and "over and out" to see if they like that better.

    A buddy and I stopped there the day after Thanksgiving on the way back from fishing on the Guad. Got there about 11:30 and they were "sold out" of everything except for pork ribs and fajita tacos. They're stated reason was because a huge to-go order was filled at 11:00. I suspect they just didn't have any barbecue because there was no smoking done the day before. I watched them dump restaurant bins full of already cooked and sliced fajitas on the flat tops. In that case, they shouldn't have been open the day after T-giving or not open until dinner service and given themselves enough time to smoke some barbecue.
