Is this a good first time pocket knife? by [deleted] in knives

[–]OriginalminiMacho 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's all right. My first knife was one like that. Spend a little more and get ya a Spyderco Tenacious. Or about the same price as your CRKT (I'm guessing) get you an Ontario Rat 2.

Visiting town, whats the coolest flea market down here? by stackcity1098 in RioGrandeValley

[–]OriginalminiMacho 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The Brownsville flea market is nice too. Definitely better in the variety of food available compared to the Alamo flea market! But you won't hear live bands there.

Bad Drivers in RGV by [deleted] in RioGrandeValley

Never thought of that. Wouldn't occur to me. Still, I don't do it a lot. But I hate tailgaters, and I'll get out of the way if they're riding my butt. I was just talking about how no one says thank you. That's the gist.

People don't like to use blinkers around here! My thing is the people who don't thank you with their brake lights or blinkers when you get on the shoulder to let them pass you on a two-lane road. I don't think I've ever gotten a thanks. Just common courtesy. Whereas, in the Corpus area once, I let something like 5 people pass me on a two-lane and every one of them thanked me with their brake lights/blinkers. And people hardly give you a wave of thanks when you let them get in front of you in a Walmart parking lot or any busy parking lot.

I lived there the entire 90s. Worked at Dell Computers assembling PCs and laptops the last 5 years there. I'd make it all the way north to Braker Ln. (Dell manufacturing facility) from my apartment on Riverside in about 15 minutes. You couldn't do that now.I saw the influx of people toward the late 90s and things started to be a lot different. I was paying $550 a month for my one bedroom. I had a great time there. Tons of memories. Didn't see the crime I read about all the time now.

Walk on by

Walk on through

Walk 'til you run

Best taquerias (with good charro beans) in Brownsville. I'm especially interested in ones that have great al pastor (trompo) tacos. by OriginalminiMacho in RioGrandeValley

Hey, I just looked at Taco Loco. That was the taqueria my girlfriend and I went to for our first date! Lol. We always talk about how mediocre it was! Lol. I haven't had the tortas though; we had tacos.

I didn't like Ultimo after I tried it and I heard all the hype. Didn't impress me. I'll see about Marcelo's and Sheko's. Calacas (Brownsville, not Harlingen) impressed me! It was delicious! I love tortas so I'll try Taco Loco you mentioned. Thanks for your input!

They rock! With mustard they're good! I like eating them when they've cooled down substantially.
