  1. Whereabouts? We were planning to move to Asheville and saw the same as you. Super hot housing market, with prices not that much better than we find out here in Driftwood. In fact, in terms of what you get for your money, I'd say we have it better here. But that was last October. We bought a lot with the intention of building exactly what we want, and then the potential job fell through. As I look back on it, right about now is when we'd be selling our current house, and it's appreciated quite a bit since October. We'd be sitting pretty from a financial standpoint, but may be left holding our dicks while looking for a temporary place to live while waiting on the house to be completed.
  2. I got news for you. I live in Hays County (Driftwood), and home prices in my neighborhood have gone bat-shit crazy. I think in the past year alone the market value of my house increased 50%. Yes, it's still less expensive than a similar property in Austin proper, but things are rising FAST out here.
  3. More like Austinites: We need rain so we don't have forest fires and people's houses burn down. Oh, and Lake Travis supplies our water, so that would be nice, too.
  4. Good advice. First trip to Italy we did Rome and Florence for a week, and there were still things we missed out on. 2nd trip we did Amalfi Coast for 5 days, and could have spent more time. I want to spend 2 weeks just in Tuscany.

    Getting old sucks

    3 miles in 40min is still a pretty quick walk.
  6. As the hot and humid weather starts settling in, this seems like a good time to say we'll be escaping to Colorado for 8 weeks in June/July. Not gonna miss this weather at all.
  7. Jack and shit thus far in Driftwood. My sprinklers are going, and I'm not turning them off. Trying for the reverse jinx.
  8. I get that the list is a joke, or at least the first 2 spots. But it is an interesting topic, and at least some of the list was done in all seriousness. Surprises me that Clemson/Georgia isn't on the list. Should easily be in the Top 10. that one goes back a LONG way, but they stopped playing regularly in the 80's I think. Pretty sad considering where both the programs are today. And the campuses are less than 100 miles from each other.
  9. One thing that is not clear to me is if the jets were scrambled specifically for this hazing, or if it was a planned exercise, and his buddies tied him up on a live firing range. The first is a colossal waste of money and several people should be fired. The second is even more stupid, several people should be fired, but it reminds me of this
  10. Goddamn, I've been trying to think of movies from my childhood to watch with my 9 year old son. How did I not think of this one? Thanks for this.
  11. Did I just watch someone get eaten by a whale?
  12. I, for one, am shocked that a dude that diddled 4 of his little sisters earlier in his life in in possession of child pornography. And that his Christian counseling, which I assume is "pray the pedophilia away", didn't work.
  13. I don't follow basketball recruiting like I used to, but that Wheeler kid reminds me of Terrell McIntyre. At least in the 3 minutes of video I watch. Clearly it's a well researched opinion.
  14. Well motherfuck. I put Rokus in the media room, living room, and master bedroom a couple of years ago. Have been very happy, but at the end of the day it's just an enabler for me to consume content. I only use a few apps, and they were all available on Roku--YTTV, Amazon video, Netflix, AppleTV+, Pandora, and Amazon Music. If there is another streaming device that offers all those on one platform, I'll switch.
  15. I just hope we get something (rain) significant enough to wash some of this fucking pollen off of roads, grass, trees, etc. By I assume the forcefield over my house will be in full effect.
  16. I'm done with B&B. Last 3 times I've bought it, 1/2 the bags was crumbs. Fool me once, shame on...shame on you. Fool me...you can't get fooled again.
  17. 1. That was a juke that would make Barry Sanders blush. 2. When the lady said "where did she go?", I was REALLY hoping for the lion's face to show up right by the car.
  18. Had J&J last Wednesday. Had absolutely no side effects other than about 5 minutes of a sore arm after the shot. That probably means I'll be dead in 2 days of a blood clot. The freak out of 7 blood clots out of 7M vaccinated is a little ridiculous, especially since as of right now they can't prove it's anything other than a coincidence.
  19. In all seriousness, you're dead on. It's the same for turkey, too. The birds most people buy for TGiving is bland garbage because they are bred to have the biggest breasts possible in the shortest amount of time. I've started only buying heritage breeds. They're expensive, but it's a completely different meat and flavor profile, and for one day a year I'm willing to pay the premium.
  20. was. was only 12 years older than Harrison Ford

    DMX dead.

    Never was really into his music, but I admit "Cradle to the Grave" is a guilty pleasure of mine. I put the clicker down when I stumble upon it.
  22. I would give you a horns up, but the 666 is a little too perfect. I'll wait for someone else to screw it up.
