Did you go


Nope. Had planned to hit up Truth and then the Blue Bell creamery but friends from Kingwood scrubbed so we did as well.

I'm old and my driver swing keys have changed so much over the years. As you age, you will lose some strength, some dexterity, some flexibility and your golf swing will have to adapt as well.

To clear my hips now, I use a more open stance. Hopefully, others will respond with some tips that will fit you for now. In the meantime, here's some golf inspiration.

Freddie's swing is by no means textbook, but it's like watching golf poetry. The other two links (to the KLPGA golfers), appear to do everything right.

Went to my first drag race last summer in Ferris, TX. It's 1/8th mile track but it was a lot of fun. Would go back and would encourage others. Very American thing.

Paz's decision just underscores the dilemma both coaches and players are in. Coaches can't bypass more experienced portal prospects; players have to have a clear path to the field.

In Paz's case, realistically, what's his most probable role in '27? Unless he becomes the de facto "closer," he can expect to get a few innings during midweek games and a few more on the weekends. And perhaps, hope to become a starter in '28. I suppose in his mind, he needs more opportunities in '27 to better position himself for '28.

(And IDK if he's a draft elgible soph.)

But can’t say his velocity dip isn’t a bit concerning. He’s down from averaging 99 his rookie year to 97 this season. His last start his average velo was 96.5 which was the lowest in his career.


This probably explains a lot of what the OP is inquiring about.

As you posted earlier, you have an axe to grind with the pastor/church. Fair enough.

But it seems like the composite narrative you're forcing yourself into is something along the lines of:
- The pastor, on a whim or maybe he didn't like that someone from across the street was filming, stopped what he was doing, ran/walked across the street, and engaged the son? That there was no pre-history, just an unhinged pastor?

OTOH, the photos others have posted in this thread, the oddity of someone standing on the shoulder and filming (may be legal but who does that?), that the son tries calling for someone as the pastor approaches, that he immediately kicks-off his crocs and starts punching, those who were willing to stand behind the pastor at this press conference - all support his assertions.

FTR, I have no idea how this plays out legally. But if the son is threatening violence, is it not allowed for someone to confront him?

And what does it mean for the local LEO to have a record "on file?" If I wanted to report someone making lewd gestures or verbal threats, does that mean I have to physically go to a police precinct to do so? Most believers will as much as is possible try to live at peace with others so they aren't trying to escalate things.

Regardless of their DC work schedule, do you really think Pelosi or Jasmine or Chuck eat their own cooking? They are insulated from the fallout of the policies they support.

And not just them, but so are judges.

This lawyer is a complete idiot for letting his client give a press conference. All will be used against him in court. No telling what he will say.


Supposedly, all those people standing behind him are witnesses that can corroborate his assertions. If so, then what's the problem with what he said?
Judges and politicians need to have to live with the consequences of their decisions/votes. Now, they're insulated. It was refreshing when Abbott and DeSantis sent bus loads of migrants to Martha's Vineyard.
This is where I wake up and hate the portal.

Lines at Truth BBQ Brenham?

Wondering how long the line might be tomorrow (Saturday) at Truth in Brenham.

Technically, not yet six years. And what's so special about six years in the first place.

Pastor Tony showing some tough love to the rapist wannabe before the State of Louisiana surgically removes his testicles.
Here's the pastor's press conference the day after:



Only eaves dropped the first part. In it the pastor and lawyer affirm that LEO let this go on after multiple reports. The neighbors who heckled them were also used by FBI (?) to provide surveillance of the church during the COVID lockdowns.

Walker was a career .396 hitter with 50 more rbis in almost same number of abs. If the question was what hitter would you want at the plate in a clutch situation to win a game for LSU it would have to be Walker.


His K-rate was much better than Dylan's.

Dylan is now my all-time favorite Tiger athlete. Seeing him point to a "ring finger" in Omaha was a triumphant moment.

I believe that's the definition of a "musician"

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that either A, you don't play an instrument and B, if you do, you never took the time to learn to solo on it. However my gut feeling is you only play the radio and your iTunes.


I have ears. I listen to music. I appreciate musical excellence even among genres that otherwise interest me little. IMO, Prince was mediocre in all respects. If I had never heard a Prince song I would've missed out on nothing musically.

FTR, I used to play piano ok and only played solos. But my ability to play piano has little to do with my view of Prince. And I don't even know what iTunes is.

Part of the enemies within now are:

b) Chinese birth tourism
c) Muslim invaders
d) The "black community."

They're all within now.

Why do you think the "kid" chose to throw the first punch? Is there some back story the film clip doesn't capture?

What do you think of the photos that others have posted in this thread? You apparently had some bad experiences with this pastor/church. But the photos seem to support his account of what's transpired.
