    Pos. Rep for Morton's Nature Seasons. That was our house blend when I was growing up, and it's great on steaks and veggies alike. The steaks look good too!

    Make sure you get a tough negotiator. Unfortunately, I think this guy's in Austin.

    The Beatles referencing Strawberry Fields and O-blah-di-O-blah dah, Fool on the Hill, etc. in Glass Onion.

    It probably doesn't really matter to the Harris camp. The point may be that they're able to make Trump play defense on small stuff. He'll ramble on about muted mics in speeches for a week. He'll looks like a confused, old man doing it. Meanwhile, she keeps campaigning and taking ground.

    Mid to late 80s (86--very early 90) Strate/Tele pickups are the sweet spot.

    I think they should go with Scott's Tots.

    Hit up Lala's Little Nugget for some stiff drinks and Christmas 24/7/365 atmosphere. I can't believe I'd never gone to this place until a couple of years ago. Us: It's a Christmas-themed bar. Uber Driver: Get tha fuck outta hear. My buddy: It's right up there. Not to put too fine a point on it, but it's the place with the Santa's sleigh on the roof. https://www.lalasaustintexas.com/

    @jimmyjazz You mentioned your daughter was having a less-than-stellar social circle at this point of her college experience. Did she start in Austin. I know you've mentioned your son did the CAP program in Tyler.

    The suspension on a Lamborghini driving on West Campus would be shot after a week. Those roads are brutal. I remember having to get an alignment on my car at least once per semester when I lived there. If anything, they seem worse now.

    Yeah, driving through West Campus yesterday was serious business. I expect to get some sort of driving award for the amount of cross-walk yielding I did. One lapse moment and you'd probably run over a sorority-rushee on her phone, possibly in tears. I was intent on not running someone over by accident yesterday. Plus, it's 103 outside. I saw one girl walking with an electric fan. She wasn't messing around. Also, I'm happy to report that Treehouse Apartments still are standing. Loved that place. In fact, I'd be willing to say that San Pedro Street looks almost exactly the same as it did in the 90s.

    Again? /I kid. I kid.

    Rule 1: stop eating the freeze-dried asparagus. It makes the water taste funny.

    Damn it. You beat me to it.

    I am, indeed a pleasant chap. As it turns out, those were the only tears we shed. We got in the car to leave. I looked at my wife and waited for the water works. Instead, she looked at me and said, "He's ready. He's going to do great. I'm not sad." Then, we got home, were taking care of his little brother who managed to get a stomach bug while we were gone, and the house definitely felt emptier. I made a quick trip to the store and only bought a half-gallon of milk and a dozen eggs, whereas in the past, 3 gallons and 72 eggs were the weekly allotment. It's the little things that really have been tugging at the old heart-strings in the near-term since he's been gone.

    As of yesterday at lunch, I can confirm that The Tavern still has a/c.
  18. dcbc
    Sorry. I didn't mean it that way. I was just sort of in disbelief and googled it. At any rate, I was glad to discover that my kid's dorm did, in fact, have a/c, even if it was having trouble keeping up in the 105 degree heat during move in. Sorry for all of the people living in dorms without a/c in this bullshit heat. And for what it's worth, the various UT reddits have answered a lot of questions in what seems to be an unnecessarily complicated process of getting everything set up for our son to get moved in. The parking permit alone seems like it shouldn't be as complicated as it is.

    Can't link a single song without feeling bad about not listing the rest. Interpretation: I'm watching the Billy Joel 100th MSG Performance on CBS. Saw him 3 times in the 90s. Dude was a damned hit-maker.

    Sometimes I do. But downloading and uploading them takes longer than just linking a yarn gif into imgbb. Is there a way to do that? Can I "choose files" and just paste it into the browse window. I haven't done it in a while. So I don't remember.

    Baked in the sun moving the kid into his dorm in Austin Thursday evening and this morning. When we left Austin, it was 103F (about 3:30 pm). By the time we were about an hour northeast of Austin, the outside temperature was 87F. Going to get into the 70s tonight in Tyler and not much higher than low/mid 90s this week and going forward. Stoked!

    According to Reddit, all dorms have A/C, but not all dorm rooms have individual thermostats and performance can be sporadic. In any event, we packed him a big, vertical fan.
  23. dcbc
    Thanks. I've been threatening to do that for months. Once I took the picture and went inside, it all started to hit me. I got choked up, and now I can't get that Randy Newman song out of my head.
  24. dcbc
    Which dorm?
  25. dcbc
    I can't imagine that there are. That's more of a TDCJ feature.
