Did ESPN just jump ahead for two batters?

I was wrong it jumped back to the first for me, anyone else?

It's all fear porn bullshite anyway. That Democrat isn't winning a statewide race in Texas.


While I generally agree with the statement what makes me nervous is Paxton has some pretty serious baggage, real or perceived. Paxton has been a great AG. But some people do not like him.

I have a 6 year old macbook air that needs to be replaced. I might actually get this


I replaced a 2018 Air last March. I choose an Air MacBook M4, it is blazing fast. They have an MacBook Air M5 now. Go for it!

Seems odd it doesn't have one USB-A port. C is better, but there are still tons of devices out there that come with A because of the costs associated with C.


You can buy a $5 or less A to C adapter. I have several for some legacy A components and they work just fine. In fact I just these from Amazon a month ago. Much cheaper than I rembered.

And we get bleacher shots as well. Extra good looking women is never a bad idea.
When are they coming to Houston? And I'm taking not about the Woodlands.
Congrats. I retired 6 years ago at 54. I have 50% more than when I retired. My boys will be surprised when I kick it.
Houston has a few but this is the worst.

High School Football Game


During football season I was on the sidelines shooting pics for our local newspaper. Once the season was over I was at a dirt track working on my friends pit crew.

HEB


One by my house has a boil Saturday and Sunday during peak season. They do a decent job and you can go in and get a couple of pounds to take home.


My HEB has them as well. Done right, not dusted or sauced. Usually around $8 per pound cooked. Not too bad. I'll pick a few pounds occasionally.

Daikin is dark and dank


In the spring yes it is dank. Once the roof is open things get much better at Enron Field.

There is no heating in Daikin. Come April you don’t need it. College baseball is too early for games in Houston. That’s why the do spring in Arizona or Florida.

What’s the etiquette here? Is it acceptable to text your boss on a Sunday evening (if that’s your form of communication you use) if you won’t be at work Monday due to being sick or your kid(s) sick and has to miss school? What do you guys do?


I ran a small but vital team. Sure I had some upper management that was technically my boss. But I was free to run my department as my own. So I would call my second guy. Tell him what needed to be done. Probably call a client or salesperson to give them a heads up as well. I would likely text the plant president and let him know my underling was in control for the day.

ETA: we had an Online HR system for all employees to use for time off. So I would just log on and mark myself as off.

I mean, if it was in Baton Rouge they absolutely would. Just like they do for every other home game.


What a lot of people or missing is Jay likes to play some early, away games. Gets the team ready for the grueling SEC schedule.

Every game this year, other than the 3 D1 games and a midweek at ULL, are on ESPN or SECN.

I may change lanes without using my signals and i may go 70 in a 65 mph zone. But when it comes to money I generally play by the rules.
