  1. Interesting John Oliver segment on crime reporting.
  2. Some pretty good basic background on what was going down in ‘79 and how we got there. Very well done a lots of interviews with people who were there. https://www.hbo.com/hostages
  3. Not only here but also in Iran: “The White Revolution had been designed to preempt a Red Revolution. Instead, it paved the way for an Islamic Revolution."[63] The White Revolution's economic "trickle-down" strategy also did not work as intended. In theory, oil money funneled to the elite was supposed to be used to create jobs and factories, eventually distributing the money, but instead the wealth tended to get stuck at the top and concentrated in the hands of the very few.”
  4. Never had Covid and neither has the wife. New Pfizer this week along with the Supersize Flu shot. Felt slightly wonky for a few hours the day after but that was about it. Had friends from Portland staying with us a couple of weeks ago. Hung out for week, drove all around the metroplex, drove to Hot Springs etc. A few days after they flew back they both tested positive.
  5. Was gonna put this in the Tide/Vols thread but didn’t want to trigger anybody.
  6. I remember when that was going down. Unbelievable amount of press coverage. I watched when we took the cup back too. This movie is not great but some incredible sailing scenes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wind_(1992_film)#Soundtrack
  7. They also have them (Scale X) in Seattle, Vegas and Palm Beach.
  8. So because of the hurricane instead of prime time we get noon on a Thursday and no network coverage? All I see on my guide is cspan and a couple of the “fake news” channels.
  9. Had one of his erasers at The Nasher for a while.
  10. Huh? Collin is way closer to Tarrant than Parker Beto vs Cruz: Tarrant 49.9-49.2 Collin 46.5-52.7 Parker 18.3-80.9 Biden vs Trump Tarrant 49.3-49.1 Collin 47.0-51.4 Parker 17.1-81.5

    I think they are marketed as a “Hot Talk” format like Russ Martin.
  12. Would have been cool to score more but how we got 49 is what impressed me. No fluke plays No trick plays No lucky the defender fell down 80 yd scores No defensive scores No special team scores No controversial penalties I can think of(only five total penalties in the game) Just a bunch of methodical precision drives that suck the soul out of a defense. To get to 35pts we went 90 92 80 79 76 Then capped things off with 47 54 Just a beautiful thing to finally see.

    Already heard most of the Mike’s history. Can’t take that morning show or B&S. Best thing so far is the absence of political adds.
  15. I Missed Dan going wireless in Parker County.
  16. Haul ass to the Arkansas side? Was at the Queen Wlhelmina Lodge and the Ranger said they were having black bear issues and had caught several. Asked him what they did with them. He sad they just haul them over to the OK side and release them.
  17. No. Barry Sadler songs don’t stick. But I remember the chorus of “Johnny Reb”
  18. I know all the words to “Sink the Bismarck” too but only the chorus of “North to Alaska”.
  19. For the moon you keep shootin' Throw your rope up in the air For the kids you stay together You nap 'em and you slap 'em in a highchair
  20. Coming to Frisco. https://www.comericacenter.com/events/detail/legends-of-basketball-classic
  21. Gov. Greg Abbott appoints officer indicted for misconduct during George Floyd protests to police regulatory agency https://www.texastribune.org/2022/08/05/justin-berry-austin-police-excessive-force-greg-abbott/
  22. Although I’m very cool and smart I just googled the name on the side.
