  1. Love Alaska, been there 5 times, going again next year. Fly-fishing for trout & coho's in such a pristine setting is absolutely awesome. Last time I went was in 2016 with my brother while we were on a DYI rafting/fishing trip. He announces that we will get up in the middle of the night and watch the northern lights, weather permitting. Woke up two nights in a row, nothing but a gorgeous, clear, starry night. Got home and my brother discovered there are websites that forecast the Aurora such as: https://www.gi.alaska.edu/monitors/aurora-forecast Turns out that although SW Alaska kicks ass for fishing, it's not the greatest for catching the northern lights.
  2. Try a Mexican market or a Halal market. In Dallas, try Sara's in Richardson.
  3. I have been burned only once, by a budtender in Vegas. Friend I was with wanted to go visit the pawn shop in the reality show by downtown. After the visit, we decided to walk about a half mile to the closest dispensary. Extremely sketchy part of town, like security guards in gas station/convenience stores sketchy. Sold me some old shit that wouldn't normally passed the smell test. Another tip, look at the dated the product was packed. Next trip to Vegas, I ubered to a recommendation from a guy I know; much better experience. Trust, but verify.
  4. A “friend” went to CO last summer and spent about $300 which was about 8-9 months worth of supply. A few tips and observations for a first timer: — have a rough game plan of what you want, but be flexible. Sone would say that websites of dispensaries are not updated religiously — listen to your “budtender”; he or she can be incredibly helpful. Tipping is appreciated, and My friend thinks budtenders like Texans as customers as we are likely to buy much more at one time than residents. — take your time, use the eye and smell test on the bud. Know the difference between Indica and Sativa (hybrid options exist) and the budtender will take it from there. Go over your options on vapes, edibles, pre-rolls, etc. — some dispensaries have their bud air purged and replaced with nitrogen, which is said to prolong the shelf life of bud. The packaging is usually less smelly as well. — don’t use your cell phone or take pictures in the dispensary, that’s frowned on. — repackage your stash upon return if needed. Vacuum sealing is best, ziplock freezer baggies if no sealer. Store in a cool, dry, dark place. or so I’ve heard...
  5. Ceviche sucks. I’ve tried to like it, but it’s meh at best. Haven’t tried it outside TX though.
  6. csb/ Edwin was boyfriend to one of my frat brother’s sister. I don’t think the relationship went over well with the family.
  7. Have to agree. Not sure I’m aligned with Fararakhan’s views any more than the other RWNJ’s out there.
  8. What a bunch of maroons. Although I do like the sitting around the campfire and drinking beer part.
  9. Corby: How old are you? German girl tourist: I’m fine, thank you!
  10. anti-hail defense system from two weeks ago when baseball sized hail was forecasted
  11. Wouldn't be a bit surprised if cops tell each other to say "I'm tired" if they shoot someone they shouldn't have.
  12. Imagine John having to show up at 7:00 am every weekday in BFE for two-a-days in August. Gig wouldn't last very long.
  13. Any prospective employer that does a social media background check on Justin will cease the employment process immediately. And wouldn't that be funny?
  14. Have Barry Switzer buy it for you.
  15. Give us Bru this year, then firm up the rules if necessary.
  16. I would imagine the ultimate goal is for the AAF to get the NFL involved enough that they end buying the league with the current majority owner making a little jack from the transaction.
  17. Does this mean he's not doing any more school closings?
