  1. I was driving up 187 on the east side of Austin a few weeks ago, and I saw a sign for Bluebonnet Parkway, also know as Hwy290. When did that happen?

    Although 290 seems like a logical choice for using that name, my feeling is that 71 from Columbus to Austin deserved consideration, given the fact there are more bluebonnets along 71 that 290.

  2. if you'd like a refresher, head to the happy go lucky on telephone@broad. we went last summer and it is surprising places like that with madames, etc still exist.
    Uh, thanks, but no thanks. I don't drink anymore, and I don't go to bars to meet women. I am older, and much more conservative, now. I prefer meeting women in more traditional ways - I go to online chatrooms.

  3. Was the Vagabond Club at the Vagabond Motel on 45?
    That's the one, Subdude. As aggressive as some of the ladies were at the club, I often wondered if some of them didn't have a long-term rental on a room there.

    Vertigo, I lived and worked near Hobby Airport in the late 70s, and that's when I went to Yesterday. I think there were a number of "swingers" who hung out there, but I wasn't interested in that scene. And that was back in my drunking days, and my memories are a bit fuzzy on the details of the place.

  4. Looking down and seeing the deck of the aircraft carrier just below me while the plane sat still, and then three seconds later, seeing nothing but water below while the plane was doing about 160. Since I was facing backwards on the COD, I could just see the carrier behind us getting farther and farther away.

  5. My transcendental meditation, I go there each night,

    But I always come back to myself long before daylight.

    Coog, I didn't do TM, rather Silva. My place was "The Window" at Big Bend.

    When I go to Garner in my mind, I can still hear "Blackland Farmer" playing at The Pavilion.

  6. The Kroger at 11th and Shepherd, where we usually shop, isn't nearly as nice.

    It's all relative, I suppose. The Kroger at Merchant's Park (11th @ Shepherd) is 1000 times nicer than the Kroger that was there previously. But then, that older Kroger was still operating in the footprint of the Henke and Pilot that was there originally. The newest renovation at least doubled the size of the store.
