As always the dumbasses in the Austin area suckered for the School District Taxes voting for a $1 Billion bond issue for Austin ISD and a $1/4 billion in Lake Travis ISD (my old district). INSANITY!Probably need a new football stadium and a couple of extra safe rooms to be built.

Today's Highlight in History:
On Nov. 8, 2016, Republican Donald Trump was elected America's 45th president, defeating Democrat Hillary Clinton in an astonishing victory for a celebrity businessman and political novice. Republicans kept their majorities in the Senate and House.
On this date:
In 1793, the Louvre began admitting the public, even though the French museum had been officially open since August.
In 1889, Montana became the 41st state.
In 1892, former President Cleveland defeated incumbent Benjamin Harrison, becoming the first (and, to date, only) chief executive to win non-consecutive terms to the White House.
In 1923, Adolf Hitler launched his first attempt at seizing power in Germany with a failed coup in Munich that came to be known as the "Beer-Hall Putsch."
In 1932, New York Democratic Gov. Franklin D. Roosevelt defeated incumbent Republican Herbert Hoover for the presidency.
In 1942, Operation Torch, resulting in an Allied victory, began during World War II as U.S. and British forces landed in French North Africa.
In 1950, during the Korean War, the first jet-plane battle took place as U.S. Air Force Lt. Russell J. Brown shot down a North Korean MiG-15.
In 1960, Massachusetts Sen. John F. Kennedy defeated Vice President Richard M. Nixon for the presidency.
In 1974, a federal judge in Cleveland dismissed charges against eight Ohio National Guardsmen accused of violating the civil rights of students who were killed or wounded in the 1970 Kent State shootings.
In 1987, 11 people were killed when an Irish Republican Army bomb exploded as crowds gathered in Enniskillen, Northern Ireland, for a ceremony honoring Britain's war dead.
In 1988, Vice President George H.W. Bush won the presidential election, defeating the Democratic nominee, Massachusetts Gov. Michael Dukakis.
In 1994, midterm elections resulted in Republicans winning a majority in the Senate while at the same time gaining control of the House for the first time in 40 years.

Five years ago: Jared Lee Loughner was sentenced to life in prison without parole for the January 2011 shootings in Tucson, Arizona, that killed six people and wounded 13 others, including Rep. Gabrielle Giffords. Longtime baseball executive and Hall of Famer Lee MacPhail, 95, died in Delray Beach, Florida.
One year ago: Democrat Zena Stephens of Jefferson County made history upon her election as the first black woman sheriff in Texas.

The issues caused STG to downgrade its financial guidance in May.
Overall, the company’s revenue is down 2.6 percent year to date, while EBITDA is down 7.5 percent. The May announcement indicated the company expected EBITDA to show 4-8 percent negative growth for the year, compared to the company’s original expectation of 1-3 percent.
The company says the issues “have been stabilized, whereby the customer service is improving and the focus is now on customer acquisitions, win-back campaigns, inventory availability and increased productivity.”
However, STG says the new systems have not yet achieved their expected cost savings and the customer outreach efforts, including discounts and free shipping, are hurting its bottom line.
“The negative price/mix of 1.0 % for the category was driven by both General Cigar as well as Cigars International. Price increases in the branded business were not enough to compensate for mix changes, and special discounts and promotional activities in Cigars International continued to dilute the price/mix impact for the category, although to a smaller extent than in the previous quarters.”

Back in the pre-PC days all the kids called them Jap Aviator Hats.Jap Aviator???? Nah, that's a Canadian everyday topper.But you can't hear the fat lady sing with that Jap Aviator Hat on.Cigarpage has quite the offering of non-PC T-shirts. Can't say I would consider wearing most of them in public....or private.Here's what you northerners need when a large pair of jugs or thighs is not at the ready. https://www.cigarpage.com/mad-bomber-wool-bomber-hat-faux-fur.html (https://www.cigarpage.com/mad-bomber-wool-bomber-hat-faux-fur.html)

I'm thinkin' DaveOy is a pop kinda guy."Pop" is in the Midwest isn't it? Seems like when I used to travel to Nebraska and Jansas that is what they called the soft drinks.What is this "pop" of which you speak? You are in Florida, so it's either soda or coke.no, six pots of hot coffee and assorted pop.Any iced coffee?Wow! sounds pretty damn good to me!great. 31 people, tons of food. one member cooked a HUGE brisket, dropped it off and left, he wasn't feeling well. that was the first to disappear. three pots of chili, mac and cheese, sausage and peppers, all kinds of pasta salads, and desserts. very little left over.Nice! how was your dinner last night?Good morning folks. 43 here this morning, brisk!morning Sam. 65° here.

for a 2nd time at a new Asian fusion restaurant. First time I went, I asked for iced green tea, they said they don't
have that. I asked, do you serve hot green tea? they replied yes, Can you bring me a large glass filled w/ ice?
Again yes, told them, then yes bring me those two things, and I can make iced green tea. Years ago, a sushi place
out in Parsippany, had the same answers. They were amazed as well. but the next time I went, they brought me
a large pitcher filled with ice, and the pot of hot tea, as well as a tall empty glass. Short answer, i prefer my coffee,
either iced or tepid. sometimes i will take ice cubes from a glass of water, and stir them into the hot coffee. When a waitress
comes by and wants to know if she should top off my coffee cup to make it hot again, i usually ask that they please don't.

No bur with the countertop folks we ended up going with, so far they have pretty much met expectations based on what they told us.

Bur is with the contractor doing paint, electrical and carpenter work, now he has caused huge delays even considering we knew at the beginning he was slow. He has also been a huge pain in the ass! He did one item yesterday morning and has one more to go which might take 15 minutes if he would just come do it, seems like he would be rushing to do that since I am holding back 25% of his money until he is finished.

Ad was for a new deep fried turkey sandwich.
but never purported to fry one on Arbor day! 8)
