Texas BBQ
@Pdawg88 congrats on your son signing to play football. Although it is a good reminder to being grateful for the real Texas barbecue available to most of us, there are at least two other threads dedicated to non-Texas or other state's barbecue. There actually might be some other recommendations for your son in and around OK.

H.W. Brands - A User's Guide to History
Many of you probably recognize H.W. Brands as a history professor at University of Texas - in fact the Jack C. Blanton Sr. Chair in History. Unfortunately, I never took one of his classes, but I have followed him for many years. He has written several biographies of U.S. Presidents along with other books. For the last several years, he has published A User's Guide to History on Substack - hwbrands@substack.com. I subscribed and get several emails a week. His range of topics is endless, but most touch on the historical relevance or foundation of a modern issue. I mainly wanted illuminate his writings to those who are interested. I will probably post a few of his articles - at least some that I find interesting.

Attorney with Texas education system expertise?
I would start with Martin Cirkiel. Either his firm can help or they will know who can.

Austin FC
Owen juked that defender on the corner kick which led to the Buka goal. Then Owen tries to give it back in the waning seconds by turning around and kicking over our end line.

Seems like it comes up enough and there are enough people interested, that the cage match could be arranged. Worldwide PPV would make a mint. PETA might feign outrage, but they would raise a shit ton of money as well.

Galveston will be flat, but there is a good chance that half of the race will be into the wind. I find wind can be more demoralizing than hills.

Trivial Things That Make You Surly
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.

Texas BBQ
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.

Texas BBQ
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.

Mudbugs 2025
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.

Dark Winds AMC
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.
