  1. It took most of the scaffolding in the state and some from out of state to get the lower part done. I remember the 18 wheelers backed up around campus that week. It was crazy how much scaffolding was built to paint. Pretty sure the guys in the Home Depot parking lot would do it quicker and without the scaffolding.
  2. Niece’s first day of school. They had even more growth in the district than expected. 40+ in each classroom.
  3. If you’re in Austin try DOC.
  4. Numbers on the left available? Or total?
  5. Any side effects so far?
  6. Maybe this is why Pfizer is insisting on a booster and everyone else (moderna/fda) is saying “let’s see what happens.”
  7. Dzuik’s boudin is pretty good. The smokehouse in camp wood also has some decent boudin.
  8. First one is a gaboon. Huge head.
  9. Rhinoceros viper for the last one.
  10. Saw some cool snakes at Abilene zoo this morning. That king cobra they have is huge. I thought for sure I was seeing more than one snake in there. Nope. It just kept going and going. They’ve had some recent success in their breeding program with some threatened species. Some baby Mexican rattlers were on display. Tough to get good pictures behind the glass.
  11. They fucked around in a program to win a prize and then found out.
  12. Uh, when was the last time you walked by Blanton. Ain’t no contiguous pedestrian area anymore. Some rich fuck gave money and new shit is going in there. I’m talking between the main buildings of the museum. There’s still the grassy area by the rainbow igloo. Def agree on speedway. But considering how many hoops we jump through just to have a cocktail hour for faculty to “conduct research” at a symposium I doubt the school will ever open up speedway for tailgating.
  13. 2 weeks? 2 hours maybe.
  14. Dicker + Chive Make it happening as the Swedes say.
  15. (Probably)Dumbass on Twitter: “CDC, why are the signs wrong at the disch? It should be 37.”
  16. Under a friend’s trash can in Austin. What is it? Should he burn down the house and move?
  17. For a while the USF site said, “do it just like UT Austin fans.” Fwd that shit to Craig W. quick.
  18. I think you’re thinking of renter’s rights to see how their deposit was used by the owner instead of returned at the end of the lease. As long as the owner can show reasonable receipts for the amount kept then there’s not really anything you can do.
  19. He lived in callaway house in west campus while attending Columbia (remotely). Killed in car accident on the way to the gym. Was a goofy football player at west lake who dreamed of performing on Broadway. All excerpts from the obit. Not made up after consuming a bottle of whiskey.
  20. Met with Big Larry when I was a student org leader. His office was amazing. Floor to ceiling signed memorabilia on every wall. And about three doors down was a conference room stocked with sodas and bbq lunch every day. He told me he had just as much signed stuff at home if not more. Seemed to know everyone and always had a smile on his face. That’s the second longtime facilities manager/director we’ve lost in about a year or so with the other being longtime softball facilities manager Hal. Those guys told some great stories. An amazing thing about both was they could connect any random person with an athlete who passed through campus. “Oh, you went to Barber’s Hill? What year? They had a second baseman that year who played in the Austin regional for Directional college and nearly won the game, but Texas Player X made a great catch to end the game.”
  21. 4.2” in 3 hours by the airport
  22. Up to 12 feet now
