Did your grandfather do anything with Falstaff Beer?
Could be. Back then my grandfather had a grocery store in Beaumont so it may have been some kind of promotion or meet and greet. By the time I came around my grandfather was working for Southwestern Bell. I wish he was still around to ask.

My grandfather with Dizzy at a local bar in Beaumont, TX, in 1955. No idea why Dizzy was in Beaumont, but my grandfather always spoke fondly of him.

In my opinion, this song is truly bad. Thought it was awful when it first came out and seeing him perform it live was just cringe worthy.

I believe this is already happening in Texas
Yes it is. By law, they aren't turned on unless a parent, teacher or administrator requests them to be on. I worked as a teacher in a self-contained, low functioning, non-verbal autism class for a couple of years and requested them to be turned on just to be careful and make sure we had daily documentation of interactions between myself, my paraprofessionals and my students. My thinking was that it was better to be safe than sorry.

In my younger days I used to wear heavier colognes like Grey Flannel and Obsession, but this is my go to nowadays. The scent just doesn't seem as overbearing to me, and it's cheap.

Man, Power Tools was an "interesting" place. Always felt like if a fire broke out there it would be devastating with the little side rooms. To me it always felt like going in a cave if I'm remembering it correctly. Then again, I was usually flying pretty high there so my memory might be a little fuzzy about that place.

Loved that song. I got to see them at Numbers in Houston during the summer of 1990.
Also saw Meat Beat Manifesto with Nine Inch Nails during that same summer, also at Numbers. All great shows. Fond memories of that time in my life.

re: What country/region does your surname originate from
Posted by PacoPicopiedra on 1/21/26 at 1:54 pm to ClemsonKitten
Central Loire Valley (Centre-Val de Loire or Centre), France. The administrative center for this region is Orleans and my ancestors eventually settled in the New Orleans area.
re: Who is the oldest living MLB player that you remember?

In my 50's as well and it's Manny Mota because he played for the Dodgers and growing up an Astros fan I hated the Dodgers since they were a rival in the old NL West. I remember seeing him play in the Dome a few times when I was a kid.
re: What is your favorite city skyline?

El Paso is kind of nice
Not much of a skyline, but I always thought having the mountain setting was cool, distinguishes it from other major cities in Texas.
From Scenic Drive up on Mt. Franklin:
When I was living there and attending UTEP, I always liked how they lit up the old Wells Fargo Plaza building on different occasions:
The building next to it with the blue flame on top is the old El Paso Natural Gas building which has been renovated into mixed-use property. The flame lights up in different colors depending on the weather forecast.

Like I said, nothing special, but it does have some unique features to it.
Also, to me, seeing the star on the mountain miles out on I-10 after driving through the mind-numbing endless emptiness of West Texas was always a welcoming sight.
