    They had to add CITY (ALL CAPS) to distinguish this team from the other MLS team in St Louis.

    Regarding your original question about restaurants using big martini glasses— Most martini recipes I see fit in a Nick and Nora glass. The large V-shaped martini glasses are too big unless you adjust the recipe.

    You may be over-diluting your drink by shaking. The Martini is a stirred cocktail, despite the famous James Bond line about “shaken, not stirred.” I learned to make Martinis by watching a couple of The Educated Barfly’s videos on YouTube— Every Martini You’ll Ever Need To Know and Evolution of the Martini. As a fun cocktail project, I bought all the ingredients he uses in the Evolution video and did a history of the Martini cocktail night. It was a good way to learn my way around the Martini.

    Conspiracy theory time regarding ear-ringing noise level coming from stadium speakers: 1. Estes Audiology pays big bucks to be advertiser on jumbotron and ribbon boards in stadium. 2. In addition to receiving the stadium ads, for paying this big fee, stadium producers will crank the volume to ear-drum piercing levels. 3. Monday morning, Estes Audiology books appointments for potential new patients seeking ear plugs, hearing aids, and assessments for loss of hearing and tinnitus, a remarkable number of which attended these games. 4. ??? 5. Profit

    I got to my seat last night about 5 minutes before kickoff. My heart sank when I heard Bob Cole's voice again. I thought he was replaced after hearing the very professional sounding substitute PA guy a couple weeks ago at the UTSA game. Guess I need to keep answering the UT Athletics surveys and repeat the message that hearing Bob Cole's obnoxious schtick is a real beating.

    Baulk. Rhymes with caulk.

    Well, that was a fun ending.

    Good lord. That pass fluttered out of Thompson's hand, but still gotta catch that. Frustrating. Leaving points out there.

    Looks like the ball was already moving out before elbow went down. At least that's what I saw on the replay coming out of the commercial break.
  13. J-Mart
    Nice spin move for the first! Then fumbles. Was he down? Can't tell. Close but maybe out.

    Oh, boy. Misses wide open Worthy in the corner. Ugh.

    Thought the same thing watching in person, but didn't get a good look on stadium replay.

    I grew up in Belton. Deadfish occupies the space of the old Frank's Lakeview Inn, a Belton institution (which isn't saying much). Both iterations of the restaurant suffered from the same issue, I think-- the food doesn't matter if you have a nice view. Similar to what happens at The Oasis here in Austin. People will go just to sit out on the lake, so why put too much effort into what comes out of the kitchen. I wouldn't make a special trip just to go to Deadfish. Yes, the view can be pretty, but there's not much going for it beyond that, at least the last time I went. If you have other reasons to be in the area, then, sure, swing by for a drink. Now, if you want a reason just to visit Belton, Miller's Smokehouse is worth the drive every time.

    Texas Monthly article I read a few days ago said Bell County was 34%.

    My Lometa CSB- On my way to San Saba in January I was dinged for a speeding ticket in Lometa. My first ticket in about 30 years. Bastard cop was waiting just past the turnoff to 190 from 183, just where there’s a nice drop in the speed limit. But I will say that the lady I dealt with in the Muni Court to resolve the ticket was pleasant. So what’s wrong with Lometa in my book? Speed traps. But you’ll be treated well by city staff as they rake you over for a couple hundred bucks in fines and fees. A mixed bag.

    Just got home from Disch-Falk. I know it must have already been said upthread, but these Vandy uniforms are wretched.

    Another homer for S Alabama. Lulz
  23. J-Mart
    Wow. Back-to-back jacks by South Alabama in the bottom of the 7th. Now 16-1. Incredible.

    Wish I would've known about her Parish show in October. It's now sold out. Her album has been an important part of my pandemic soundtrack.

    I bought tickets for one of the Black Pumas May 2020 shows at Stubb's. Am I supposed to be reissued tickets for one of the May 2021 shows? Haven't heard a peep. I still have the paper tickets in my ticket drawer at home for the May 2020 show. I'm in the same boat for the Rolling Stones show. Also had Sturgill Simpson tickets for the Erwin Center. Not a word. Anyone had luck on refunds, replacement tickets, or credits?
