    pretty much any time, if anyone else is interested. Must
    tolerate my drinking beer even if not partaking themselves,
    though when I was at Snow's, either beer was prohibitive
    or unavailable, so.
    Texas icehouses, been to a few, in my youth. Drive across a countyline
    and hit
    the drive-thru liquor store, don't even have to get out of the car. The

    They still have those, but I prefer the square
    concrete buildings with a few shelves, one of beer,
    one of whiskey, and (nowadays) one of wine. My friend
    Mackie took me to one to get a quart of Rebel Yell
    last time I had a tooth crisis. I missed out on a
    BBQ, but luckily my friend Eva saved me a quarter
    pound of brisket fat.

    Australians would put the beer into the trunk for you, not that I have any experience along this line. Anyhow, you go to an icehouse and pay a
    fortune

    You should go visit Glen. Of course he's often
    sufficiently incapacitated that the drive-through
    becomes a stagger-through.

    for "setups" to pour the bottle you brought into. Recall my mother was
    raised
    in San Antonio and I had a Grampa and Uncle/his family living there, so we drove through ever 2 to 4 years when my dad was transferred. Plus, unfortunately, I lived in that purgatory for several years. Whereas the

    It's a purgatory with barbecue, so better than your
    average purgatory.

    Purgatory ski area outside of Durango was very nice, if boring skiing.
    Durango
    was a nice place for the 2 years we lived there, after Connie and I
    married.

    My high-school heartthrob was 2 or 3 inches taller than
    me back then - after some years of Colorado skiing, she
    became 2 or 3 inches shorter than me.

    We would ski at Telluride if we could, lots of Texans at Purgatory.

    I'd have guessed there were more Texans in gehenna. Speaking
    of which, it was 103 at Lilli's yesterday and only about 90
    in Texas Hill Country..

    I had to go scurrying to find the background behind that.
    I presume you are the proud possessor of all 27 episodes of
    that Brisco County show?
    Libraries are wonderful places*...lots and lots of DVD's available for

    They are kind of cool, plus they have these things
    called "books" that you can use during a power outage.

    checkout, and the occasional ebook to checkout for my Kindle (don't
    even have
    to go there, it arrives/departs via WiFi). That line was in one of the
    last
    shows where Pete was a witness for the Government. The defense attorney accused him of being a career criminal, that was his statement in his own defense. The character was pretty funny, he was basically a psychopathic (sociopathic?) career criminal, who's vocabulary sounded like he could have been a lawyer. Just started on China Beach, Death In Paradise, and

    Ah, a congressman who missed his calling.

    Soundbreaking (I bought this series and gave it to the local library,
    now I'm
    watching it). I hate commercials! I very seldom watch TV (part of my
    condo

    I don't like commercials, but as in football games,
    they are said to be often better than the headliner.

    fee is for cable, so I have the basic package but don't watch it,
    except for
    parts of a baseball game once in a while), or listen to radio (I listen to

    No need to get good tickets next spring, I can no longer
    see the games even on television.

    KPIG, but I pay for the stream and they play a song instead so there are no commercials).

    I got your Whitekeys article and was afraid
    the guy had checked out altogether. But he's
    just going on to pursue other interests, which
    is good as he's only your age.

    *Which is why I belong to the one here in Anchorage and the one in Lake
    Havasu.
    I pay property taxes in both places.

    Until last year I paid property taxes in
    Maryland, but as there's no property any more,
    I guess I don't qualify for the public library
    there - it's not like they'd kick me out and
    the horse I rode in, but it would be sort of
    taking advantage of the system if I took out
    books there. California is a diferent question -
    you waltz in, and if you aren't a resident, you
    pay $5 for a lifetime card (if you lose the card,
    it's a buck to replace). I showed the librarian
    my handicap placard, and the fee got waived.

    We would ski at Telluride if we could, lots of Texans at Purgatory.

    I'd have guessed there were more Texans in gehenna. Speaking
    of which, it was 103 at Lilli's yesterday and only about 90
    in Texas Hill Country..

    We were told that Durango was the only Colorado ski area that people from Texas
    could drive to without going over a pass. Here...upper 60's, maybe lower 70's.
    In other words, typical summer weather. Thanks to all the computers I keep the sliding glass door to the balcony open 24X7, the baseboard heat hasn't kicked on since sometime in April.

    They are kind of cool, plus they have these things
    called "books" that you can use during a power outage.

    Scotty loaned me two of them the other day...I started one and realized that I needed to set a placemark. Scrabbled around and found one that I got as a gift
    from the tour director in Italy, nice leather one from Florence. Now I'm under
    pressure to finish them in the next couple of weeks, before the picnic on the 29th.

    Ah, a congressman who missed his calling.

    He did seem quite proud of that accomplishment. Although to be Congressional about it he should have said "I have never, knowingly, violated..."

    No need to get good tickets next spring, I can no longer
    see the games even on television.

    I've noticed. I'll use that website and start putting more emphasis on shade.

    Speaking of handicap placards...I left mine in the door pocket down in Arizona.
    Oh well.
