Wylie, he said he was in the kitchen and all of a suden the roof caved in and water was coming in at a fast rate. Flooded the house. Now some of the roof is gone, they have huge fans in the place trying to dry it out.

We do believe in extreme weather out here.   **nononono*

Not a native myself (the wife is a native) but I have lived here since Dec. 1989. We used to live in Austin, and we currently reside just a ways north of there. Both of us very glad to be out of Goofytown!

Finding myself glad to be here on this board also.  ^-^

Native Texan here, spending the next three or so weeks with my daughter in NYC.  And am enjoying the heck out of this trip.

I have hosted the TexasCowboy Memorial Shoot for the past ten years.  If anyone is interested, the 11th annual will be held this October in Hicksville.  FYI - the shoot is not about FR, it is to honor a truly wonderful Texas man.

Takes a little while to get your feet on the ground here but once you do it's great. Need anything just ask!

Glad to have you here.  And, yes, Austin is a challenge.

Austin is a challenge.

Two point plan for turning Austin from blue to red.

1. Cut funding for all UT programs except STEM majors.
2. Have the state legislature enact a law that makes Austin a must-carry (concealed or open) city for all adults.

LOL.  Yes, that would do it.  What do we do with all of those out of work liberal arts profs?

We used to have a fairly active Heart of Texas Chapter in the area.
Maybe we can get everyone together again for a trip to Walburg or someplace in the near future.

Hey, Thackney!  You're the man on fossil fuels and climate change.

Glad to have you here.  I was in awe of you at FR at your knowledge of the industry.

Hey, Bear.  Glad to have you here.  You got here as fast as you could.

You'll enjoy.  No pressure here.  No need to look over your shoulder.

Yes, my mistake. My sister calls them the Walburgers.

I would love to meet out there.  Just say when.

Thank you for your kind words.  I am very talented at cutting and pasting the information from other sources.

WhyisaTexasgirlinPA, Ditter, jagusfr and others seem to support whoever is nominated but don't seem to feel welcome anymore.


Thanks for thinking of me Geronl - it is very sad what is happening at TOS
