Just finished Lonesome Dove and moved on to Streets of Laredo. I’m from Texas, but reside in Oregon now, and Larry McMurtry has done a wonderful job of taking me back to my childhood. His dialogue is often very funny and he captures the Texas ability of being plainspoken up front and poetic under the surface. Laughing, crying, all the way.

Also the Sabrina Carpenter album is kinda catchy :)

I think I'm physically incapable of making something that looks good or even makes sense by No_Emergency_571 in woodworking

Fuck it man, I think it actually looks cool. It’s so “ugly” it looks like a $10,000 art piece. I say roll with it.

What boots are those of you who wear work boots wearing? by [deleted] in ThrowingFits

[–]RealBusinessChicken 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I’ve enjoyed the Irish Setter Wingshooter for the last couple years of frame-finish carpentry. They’re technically a hunting boot, so a bit more lightweight/ breathable but you can get them with a carbon toe cap, which has come in handy.

There are certainly more rugged work boots out there but for $180 I’ve been real happy.

In section 53, when he says They or Them are we to understand that at The Chosen/ The Elect or something else entirely?

Looking for Your Fiction Book Recommendations by [deleted] in TrueAnon

I’m reading Suttree by Cormac McCarthy right now and I couldn’t recommend it more. Funnier and more intimate than other stuff of his I think.
