re: Going to the Astros Game Series in Mexico City

Went with a friend in February.
Basically ate street tacos the whole time. Walked all over the city late into the night and felt fine.
Would do again.
Also discovered the carajillo and have become an addict....
re: Next up on California’s fight for equality…banning Clear, which lets you skip TSA lines

[quote]Clear just funnels their people into the TSA Pre-check line. Not the regular line[/quote]
Clear sends you to the regular line if you don't have Precheck. It's completely separate from the Precheck system.
Why someone would do clear without Precheck? I don't know.
I will say I've only...

re: Port of Lake Charles cracks nation’s top 10 for cargo, 4 total for the state
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 4/23/24 at 3:48 pm
List is kind of sad.
Almost every port on that list is attached to an economically vibrant region. Not surprising due to the historical ability of being on a trade route to do that.
Somehow, despite LA having 4/10, it can't manage to accomplish that....

During the Southwest Christmas debacle, I secured a Wrangler to drive my family to the next airport with a flight.
Got that death shake at 60/65.
Had to drive back to the airport a few hours later in the morning and switch vehicles.
I don't know how people de...
re: Vacation ideas with a ten month old
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 4/21/24 at 8:04 pm
Flew to Kauai no problem with a kid slightly older than that. I suggest going somewhere you can base yourself in one or two central locations. You don't want to move them around too much.
If you want to take the kid, you definitely want to do it before they turn a year old/start walking.
If a...

Nice. I never hear anything good about it.
Haneda was great today. Plane touched down at 3:00pm
By 4:20pm, I had gone through immigration, taken train to Shinagawa, and boarded the Shinkasen even though I fricked up that last part and nee...

Terrible not sleeping when you absolutely have to.
Got through immigration/customs no problem and the first train.
Second train I fricked up, but we made it.
Couple hours to go :wah:...

re: The Best Selling Artist/Band From Each State
Posted by Teddy Ruxpin on 4/12/24 at 11:27 am
Ya that's a misleading map.
I'd bet it is "the most streamed" artist that's a standard deviation or more than where that artist typically is nationally.
Otherwise, the map would be someone like Taylor Swift for each state....

In person is a pain. For India I had to mail my passport to the Indian Consulate in Houston. I'm sure "losing" a few of those a year is a good way to make some black market money or something.
Anyway, the neat thing about those types of hurdles is the visa page in the passport always looks cool a...

It appears he doesn't use his left hand either. Defender was sideways on him in the paint.
I had a kid do that to me once when he realized I couldn't go to my right with back to basket. :lol:
Edey was able to go right and do a head fake to get space but otherwise it seems he's gotta work on be...
