    Vermillion flycatcher, nice! In keeping with the local wildlife theme, I just took this horrible cell phone photo of a bobcat in Arlington.

    I just about walked into this guy at River Legacy Park in Arlington a couple hours ago. He had a buddy with him too. He was no more than 10 feet away from me when he crossed the bike trail, zero fucks given about my presence.

    I spend most weekends wandering around urban wilderness. I really need to invest in at least a decent point-and-shoot. Any recs for a beginners camera for birds and other wildlife?

    Bump. Looks like the wife's schooling is going to be taking us out to Santa Fe for at least 18 months, come August. We're going to check out the city over a long weekend over spring break. Would it be worth doing a day of skiing? I have no idea what Ski SF is like, but I've only ever skied twice so I'm not too picky. I can't wait to spend all summer hiking and all winter skiing for a couple years.

    I believe Primo's is the Italian restaurant I went to last year. It was pretty good from what I recall. I was also drunk. AleWorX was a good place for beer.

    Obviously it wasn't an emergency back then. Do you even caravan 2.0, bro? Never mind that would mean illegal immigration only worsened the last two years under Republican leadership, following 8 years of THE MOST DIVISIVE PRESIDENT EVAR!!!1!!

    I was alerted to the Bru news by a post in the cloak room, immediately came over here to the happening bunker and spent all day catching up, and eventually found out the shutdown was over due to a post here in the recruiting thread. My shit is all backwards but this was the best Surly binge since at least "ok cool. Hook em"

    The wife and I did a roadtrip through Oregon a couple years ago, I think the last week of April. Drove east from Portland and camped along the Columbia River a couple nights. We did an awesome hike from Eagle Creek Trailhead with something like 6 waterfalls. Unfortunately some shithead teens shot off fireworks around there and burned the forest down. Then we drove down to Bend, which I highly recommend if you like beer. Excellent breweries and not terribly far from Crater Lake. As far as it being worth it, that time of year you will likely only have access to the area by the lodge, with most of the road around the lake closed due to snow. We went anyway and it was still an incredible sight. We drove for the coast after that and camped near Yachats, which is pretty small and didn't have a ton going on. Still, the drive up the coast is gorgeous and definitely recommend Cannon Beach. Tunnel Falls, Crater Lake, Yaquina Head Lighthouse

    MAGA dipshits have to be the most entitled little cunts ever. I have never hated a group of people so much.

    Well considering the buzzfeed report was released, what, 24 hours ago? When else would Mueller's response be made? Tuesday morning, 4 days later?

    Marco Rubio definitely thinks it is time to consider exploring the possibility of potentially being concerned about something Trump might do.

    Late to the party somehow, skipping posts from the last few weeks. I love this show, 3 episodes in. The real game of thrones. The wire, breaking bad, narcos... basically all of my favorite shows are about drug trafficking.

    Yea, I know, kind of a niche thing. Edith L Moore nature sanctuary is great for urban wildlife. In addition to woodpeckers, there are plenty of opportunities to photo snakes, possum, raccoons, etc. at close range.

    Where are you looking, Swayze? If you're in Houston I know a couple good spots for Pileated.
  15. hookem2010
    I threw one in my build-your-own sixer yesterday. It was flavorless.

    That seems like not targeting. We would be freaking out if GJ was about to get kicked out for that. Penalty, sure. Not worthy of an ejection.
  17. hookem2010
    Truth. If this place was closer to Houston, everyone would know about it. Southern Star has much greater distribution, but B-52 is the superior product from Conroe, and I like southern star. The brewery location is cool, they have a ton of styles and they have new, quality beers every time I go. If I didnt have family in Conroe, I probably wouldn't even be aware it existed despite living in Houston for 5 years.

    Damn ocug. Sorry, man. I also just booked 4 nights, 1/2-1/6, with the wife. She's never been and thanks to fish bowls and hand grenades in college, I might as well have never been either. This thread is amazing, but I'm pretty sure I need to start the pre-NO diet and liver detox program now. I cant wait to fully look into all the dining options, but I'm thinking Drago's, CP, Peche and Sazerac are in my near future.
  19. hookem2010
    B-52 is legit, among my favorite Houston area breweries. I'm going to have to get a breakfast stout when I visit the parents in Conroe next weekend.

    Can they make Wolf go sit down at the news desk and just let King do his thing?
  21. hookem2010
    A nice bomber of something dark and strong, and probably some chips and queso/guac. CNN, possibly with fox on recall. Hopefully they are as visibly upset as the CNN folks were in 2016.

    God fucking damn it, Jordy 2.0...

    Could post in the unpopular opinion thread, but I don't really think horns down should be an unsportsmanlike, unless it is thrown in our player's face. Also, that "punch" is a penalty, but not a disqualifiable offense.

    I'm going to start throwing money on the underdog in every Herman coached game. I would be shocked if that strategy wouldn't have you at 8-0 this year.
  25. hookem2010
    Yea, way more worried about tech and ISU actually. Next week at home, after a loss, against a top 10 team is the exact sort of game Herman gets the team up for.
