Brummy

Hey bro, I'm about to stick my face right next to this tiger's mouth full of teeth. Can you do me a solid and poke with a stick right as I'm doing that? That really gets my juices flowing. Thanks man.

How do municipal drain lines never have an upward slope anywhere along the lines?? The landscape of the area, hills and valleys... Every house would have to be positioned higher than the treatment facility for this to function properly..

The most controversial being the historic Capitol High School campus. They are proposing the Capitol High campus near downtown close down and re-open as a 7-12th school at the newer Capitol Middle School farther away from downtown.

Didn't they just re-open that campus within the last year or two?

I pass it almost every day on the way to work. There's been a sign on it for a while that says "Noble Manufacturing". There's cars parked in front every morning as if people are working there. Not sure what they make.

Sounds like it's time to get the Texas College v. John Melvin series set up

I drive the thruway every day and the speed limit is 55. I personally think it is a little slow for that road, but that's what it is. I do 59-60 and people blow by me like I am parked

Same - people drive on it like it's the interstate. I made the mistake of getting on it after the freeze before the police closed it. It was late morning and sunny and I figured it would have been mostly thawed by then - wrong. There were solid sheets of ice in several places. There's not a lot of places to turn around so I just decided to take it easy around 25, which I was still nervous doing, but I had multiple people pulling out from behind me and passing. just to drive up a little ways and get all bunched up nose to tail with other people like it was a normal conditions. I thought for sure I would witness someone wreck - apparently I just missed it because they closed it down to traffic not long after that.

If I remember correctly, baseball played right before - that game ended and we walked across the street from the old Box. Crowd was electric. That was a good day.

Expect more charter schools and more of these types of stories once Landry's ESA program starts injecting millions of state dollars into them.

What’s funny was when I was in public accounting about 10 years ago, I was struggling to keep up because I only had “slightly advanced” excel skills. When I went into the private world, I was blown away with how bad people are with excel. Actually watched someone use a calculator to add number in a bunch of cells then input the results into the Total cell

I had a coworker in the accounting department of a Fortune 500 company who had to be taught how to do a sum function. They supposedly have an accounting degree and an MPA. I still don't know how that was even possible.
