Kinda surprised we have not heard anything about the Jade Helm exercises this year. For some reason it went by without any notice.

It was never a big story and, in an atypical fashion, got overblown. There were only a handful of conspiracy theorists who were making big deal about Jade Helm, but it got a of lot coverage because it was a slow news week at the time, and the news media is like a group of lemming, when one of them reports something they all start reporting something.

It got a lot of coverage because the Governor of the State of Texas gave credence to it by saying he was going to task state officials and maybe the NG to monitor it to make sure Obama didn't try to forcibly take over the state and make all the women have abortion and all the men do gay kisses with each other.

Yeah Collin County has been a rock-red conservative bastion since the dinosaurs roamed the earth but woo wee look at the 2016 shift. Kinda feels like Williamson County which is getting more diverse and more populated. Anyways, at the rate we're going, DFW's urban sprawl will continue all the way to Oklahoma, so plenty of room to suck in right-wing nuclear families after the great anti-Trump jihad of 2030 purges them from the coasts: http://www.dentonrc.com/news/news/2014/01/18/building-debt BrutalistMcDonalds fucked around with this message at 21:40 on Aug 7, 2017 |

I keep seeing this pic floating around of a pickup truck with batty political slogans painted on the rear windshield except it's "TRUMP = TRAITOR." So I think the Democrats should pay whoever drives that to run.

There's a scene in Transmetropolitan (which hasn't aged that well as a comic IMO) where people are cryogenically frozen and wake up in the dystopian, cyberpunk future and are promptly kicked out onto the street by the company which put them under ice -- and then they see the changes and have to be institutionalized because they go insane. And I'm saying that is basically an Austinite in 1985 transported to 2017.

And I'm saying that is basically an Austinite in 1985 transported to 2017. I work with a guy who has lived in Georgetown all his life and he talks about how going down 35 the first thing you would see when coming into Austin was the Old San Francisco Steak house. Yes he is old as hell, but still to think of the changes he has seen driving down 35 to downtown over the years.

House Park was convenient for me when I lived in Austin but also pretty bare bones. I imagine land is cheap out there and that's where a lot of future expansion is going to come and also settle lots of soccer parents with kids. The Austin metro will expand gloriously all the way to Bastrop!
