Reminds me of the time I was grading a student's paper where s/he made a rather impassioned argument about the need for a judge to be dispassionate.

we make an attempt and being subtle and keeping the omni out :)

On a serious note, when this comes into full effect, I will work on being technically unemployed and just take $600/year from dozens upon dozens of companies.....

It snowed here Saturday, but nothing stuck, it snowed for 6 hours in east Texas and stuck on cars and rapidly cooled surfaces.


But what was odd, I left church and the car was HOT, I had to Ac for about 45 sec to blast it out, windows alone were not cutting it at low rate of speed leaving the parking lot.

G'day box.

All and all had a nice weekend. Discovered this bar in the city, which would be perfect for a Box DO.

Weather was absolutely spectacular. Got the yard cleaned up, did a little grilling, and spent yesterday celebrating St. :rolleyes:trick's day in msv's back yard. Spent some time with my friends whose house burned down Thurs. night and they're doing okay. Yesterday after the parade a few of the FDNY bagpipers came by for a few beers and food, and we got them to play Taps in front of the burned-out house.

And most importantly, how Sweet 16 it is.

Good to hear your friends are doing alright. I can't imagine losing a house to a fire.

That bar looks like it is related to this one in the Pit.

Nifty, there is a Gingerman here in Austin too (probably not related, but just as good).

"Discovered," eh? ;)

Not a bad place but the selection on tap was a bit pedestrian last time I was there (albeit a few years back).

Good morning Box.

Yup. It doesn't exist until I patronize. :D:rolleyes:

Beer selection was good enough for me. There was plenty there I had never tried before / heard of. :-:

Almost time to board my SAT-HOU flight. Thirteen segments, 30,648 mi., eleven new lines, six new dots, two new carriers, and a new equipment type. It's been a very good week. :D

VERY NICE

The passing of the legislation last nights means I can start clicking on the Ritalin and Viagra ads in my e-mail now, right? :p

I am partial to Flip Cup; however, if I do not comes close to completing my FM I will be in no position to select drinking games.
