Agreed. This is a great one
When I got to college. We said it throughout high school.
This will be such a cluster for traffic. The Hardy will be full of cars and no longer worth the toll. 290 and to a lesser extent I-10 will also get traffic spillage from people traveling from the northwest into the city. I cannot even imagine how bad it will be. Although I can work remotely most days, I choose not to. I will need to seriously rethink that if this goes forward.

I bought a car that was in transit from the manufacturer to the dealership near me. I put down $500 I think to reserve it. I cannot recall for sure but I think I lost the $500 if I chose not to buy it, but I do know for sure I didn't lose any more than that, e.g., I was not obligated to buy it.

I also tried buying a used SUV from CARMAX as a second vehicle and found one in AZ I liked (I'm in TX). But in that case I was required to buy it even it I did not like it when it arrived at my house so it was a no go.
At a party in the woods, at the beach, or at someone's house. Most likely a keg or two involved.
I have worn a watch since pre-cell phones so I use my watch to tell him in almost all circumstances. A very old habit I guess. I like the look of watches and have 5 (2 casual, 3 "dress"). I will keep buying them for sure. You like what you like.

re: What's your favorite belt?

Anson Belt

Great ratcheting adjustable belt
Very good - but practice makes perfect. I drive 50 miles each way into downtown Houston 4-5 days a week - almost 100% freeway.

Yes, because most people are assholes. I'll take my dogs

re: Thoughts on the C7 Corvette

I had a C7 (base 3LT) and it was fun. The C7 zo6 or zr1 would be a great drive. The prices on the zr1 are steep. I now have the C8. Overall, the C8 is a better drive than a comparable C7 IMO.
$0 - probably 15 years ago I started cutting my own hair with clippers. Tight on the sides and back, blend in the top. Fairly easy with different length clipper attachments. I really started doing it to save time. Any decent barber ship I needed to be at before it opened (usually 7 AM). Otherwise, the wait was just too long. I'll never go back.
