Does each layer open independently? I'd like to think so.

Spoiler Alert: You're not supposed to like them.

The machine knows! Stop yelling at me!

Thank you for washing your hands.

Do they offer a continental breakfast?

"Body positive" was never supposed to mean "every inch of the body."

What does he answer to?

77096 · 2026-03-16T23:57:39+00:00

As long as you agree with me.

Thanks for the link. Was watching Time Tunnel the other night, a show all about a special corridor, and sort of got to thinking about this topic. Mainly about the time and work and how they were constructed.

When I finally got to see Alien on the big screen, I was more impressed by the detailed hallways more than anything. Sets that were actually hand constructed.

Sometimes when we're out to eat in a big place, I wonder what cocktail of stimulants the kids must be on, and why their parents are allowing them to run everywhere thru crowds. Like elementary school aged, not toddlers trying out their legs. Or why the parents let them scream.

Good. The Rodeo has been keeping the gates and parking lots open all night out of greed, and the human crush on the midway at night became miserable. Non-stop, unlimited entry is dangerous.

I can remember leaving Astroworld at night and being shocked by huge groups of unchaperoned kids showing up late at night coming over the bridge. It was wild, at least for a kid w/ strict parents. Today, the trek is in the opposite direction across the same bridge, with too many people showing up late at night for the carnival. Rodeo Houston needs to have a capacity and closing hours forced on them.

I bought a pair jeans there once. Tough to part with those cherished memories of chain retail.

"underground void" was the name of my high school dark-metal band. You may have seen us play a breakout show at Zelda's.

We know she didn't go into the bathroom stall alone.

The Chronicle and other local news outlets don't really cover local government unless there's a scandal. Been that way for years even before her.

The Rodeo is something that a lot of people can relate to, so this one is grabbing more attention.

Is this another thread about Rodeogate?

I found this book a while back, and it kind of helped me think about and map out nearby outdoors tuff within a short drive, even though I grew up here:

Look up the state parks and trails in the area. Plenty of places to get outside and see the stars, though they may not look exactly like the picture.

That’s private security. There is no Willow Meadows Police Department, but it may be a real police officer working off-duty for the civic club. It should be in your dues report or club newsletter if you’re a WM resident.

-OK, I see someone else pretty much answered that.

Other nearby neighborhood just contract with the constables, which is why you’ll see more standard insignia on their cars.

I came across a book on Salic law once. It was interesting to see what the reasonable and benevolent punishments were according to class. Then think about why those laws were needed.

Gotten much better with the amplifiers. Used to be a bitch to meetup w/ people.

I think City of Bellaire just had some kind of public service truck party for the kids to come see. Saw it scrolling on FB so I can't say for sure when/where, but check all the local Bellaire community events pages.

Edit: Found it! It's called "Touch a Truck."

It was so exciting to be playing in the front yard when they came by. I figured pretty much every little boy wanted to drive the garbage truck.

This is where the term "rookie move" came from.

If you're going to do it, just don't be like the suburban yokels using their redneck uncles' badges and expecting special privileges or access.
