I'm excited about the eclipse and all - but the price gouging is something to behold.

Gas station I pass often jumped like 30 cents/gallon overnight. Crazy.

Daylight savings is bad.

I don't see why they can't get the House to take this up. Cleared the Senate with no objections. I do wish they'd stick to Standard Time instead of making Daylight Savings...

I love Leap Day.

In '08 it was my first day of work (at a place that I'm still working).

But best of all on Leap Day '12 my middle kid was born. Cool birthday for a cool kid (he gets it from...

Yeah, I think almost everything about that blog is wrong-headed and backwards thinking, but specifically if your degree allows you to get the job you want - then it worked out and there isn't a...

They'll give anyone a blog these days.

Public libraries are a wonderful gift to a community.

We never don't have 50 items out.

I think I've said this before, but NSD is my annual reminder that I'm not great at unfollowing people on twitter. Specifically former assistant coaches who now work for other schools.
Every year...

We have a rule at our house that if Linus and Lucy comes on, you are required to dance. Doesn't have to be these moves, but that is encouraged.

The best part of a brisket is the part that someone else cooked for you.

Most food tastes better when it's made for you (preferably with love).

The mallpark has conference rooms available, maybe they should just use those.

This probably belongs in the peeve thread, but I knew I had already commented on it here.

As I said above, I get the idea of change aversion. I don't think every UX or UI change is probably...

Columbia was 20 years ago this week. I don't remember it very much (probably because I was living abroad at the time). I remember it happening, but probably didn't experience the same level of...

These guys fixed the numbers.

I find this thread to be charming and entertaining.


I wish some of the formerly active posters who have contributed were still doing so.

Certainly seems like a good time to be selling in DFW. I hope you made out like a bandit.

Is there anything more fun than embarrassing your kids (via non-embarrassing stuff that they just think is embarrassing - I'm not talking about truly bringing shame upon the family name by wearing an...

In Tarrant County they overshoot so much (in normal times) that you can always get a couple of percentages down just through the online instant appeal.

And a little more with the informal in...

I was less successful in my appeal than the last time.

But everyone I know does have stories of crazy amounts for as-is, inspection waived, cash in hand sales.

The market is just crazy.

Yes. :)

On one hand, I appreciate the housing bubble that probably really has raised my house's value quite a bit over the last several years. The DFW housing market is nuts right now. I could certainly sell...

I kind of thought it was fun. It wasn't over the top or anything, just somebody's blue tooth speaker playing like ten seconds of something. Someone had George Strait's The Fireman, another had the...

My youngest played his first tball game today (5-6 year olds) and the other team had walk up music.

With 5 y'all ought to have a whole stretch of bricks. If they didn't do them by year, you'd have a whole row.

Congratulations!

It's pretty cool to live in a time when something like this is possible:
