Negged for not going with "McRibbed".

The West Coast states (and British Columbia, should it go into effect in WA, OR, and CA) all adopted permanent daylight saving time 5 or so years ago. However, Congress must approve any changes to observance of standard time and they've not acted one way or another on it. Ending DST is possible by state action, so any state could be on solely standard time; HI, AZ and parts of IN I believe do this already. A bill to put WA on permanent standard time was introduced in the WA legislature this year but it did not get out of committee.

That sighting is literally where I used to fish for salmon. Although I never saw one with a fish on its head, when you saw the orcas around you there was no point in fishing for the rest of that tide - the salmon were long gone. You just drifted and enjoyed the show around you. Orcas are truly majestic. They'd have been more so if they'd bothered to wear a damn fish hat for us.

Texas will beat Oregon in Dallas, and I for one will be quite gruntled by this outcome.

Me too. Word is '27-'28 season. This city will melt down.

Wish I had gone. Great place to watch hoops. Hopefully the Sonics will call it home soon. This game is always anticipated every year (no, I'm not a Zags fan lol). Nice win for UK.

that'd be good Bull

Doesn't ISU go to the B12 title game with a BYU win? Hope so - pulling for them and @Al_4_ISU

I'd love to see some of these countries step up and say "Yeah, no, we're not accepting those credentials." But... timeline.

lol yeah - neither my brother or buddy had ever been to Texas (I have many times), so when we visited last January for the national title game in Houston I took them around to various places so they could experience at least a little bit of Texas, like what H-E-Bs were closed (all of them), etc. As we'd all flown into Dallas for various reasons, on the way back I wanted to show them CS (they're familiar with A&M's various quirks including the Finding Kyle Field stories). As we drive into town my buddy said "people couldn't find THAT thing?" After driving around campus for a bit, my brother asked me "Can we get the hell out of here? This place makes me sad" and so we did.

I was waiting for them to go out and for the little girl to show some poor lost soul where Kyle Field was, even flying with them from California to do so.

First they came for the avocados, but I don't like avocados, so I said nothing....

I'm not from Texas, none of my family is (although I've been many times and have criss-crossed the state), but I love Traces of Texas. You really catch the spirit of what Texas seems to be. It's one of the best things I've found via my delinquency on Shaggy/Surly.

lol yes - power out since 6 last night (and still), large tree fell on a bus up the street - fortunately nobody on it but the driver, who's okay.

Jeez, Pato - now tell them what the minimum wage is here - soon will be $20.26 where you are; a bit higher in Seattle. I'm more than fine with that but it does make a difference in prices. (We're basically neighbors; my Dad went to Bothell HS.)
