So just two comments after 1 day and both are from smartasses.

The question still remains. Why would something not record if it's listed on the Recording Schedule?

jb4647 · 2016-10-01T05:43:57+00:00

TIL Alyssa Milano and I are the same age.

I'm old.

jb4647 · 2016-10-01T04:23:49+00:00

If you have an AppleTV and/or iPad or iPhone get the Channels app. It will automatically find the HD Homerun device on your network and you'll have live TV!

jb4647 · 2016-10-01T02:29:56+00:00

Watched as traffic got backed up on Weslayan with cars waiting for these bicycle freaks to get out of the way. And what the hell is with the speakers blasting all kinds of music?

jb4647 · 2016-09-29T22:07:17+00:00

Was about to tell him to go to Sullivan's....

jb4647 · 2016-09-29T19:57:57+00:00

Helped Houston to grow by leaps and bounds during that time.

jb4647 · 2016-09-29T12:26:44+00:00

A Marriott Fairfield Inn.

jb4647 · 2016-09-29T12:25:02+00:00

Those were the glory days!

jb4647 · 2016-09-28T20:37:55+00:00

My guess it has something to do with Tom Delay or Culberson....

jb4647 · 2016-09-28T18:12:19+00:00

If we didn't have Comcast as part of our HOA Fees I'd seriously consider this option.

Because I've purchased my own modem and use a cablecard to get TV on my own Samsung box, my monthly bill for cable/internet is down to $98/mo.

jb4647 · 2016-09-28T02:24:54+00:00

You mean you aren't supposed to toss it in the trash?

jb4647 · 2016-09-28T02:21:58+00:00

It's heaven. Completely improved my TV watching experience.

jb4647 · 2016-09-27T21:12:53+00:00

I miss Pittsburgh. I traveled there weekly for two years and enjoyed it immensely.

It's where I discovered Rita's

jb4647 · 2016-09-27T21:08:33+00:00

This happened 1 block from me and so was this guys home. It's wild to think about how crazy some folks are who live around you.

jb4647 · 2016-09-27T21:03:04+00:00

This is awesome. Finally my suggestion has been taken.

jb4647 · 2016-09-27T15:45:21+00:00

Well if this were 1968 then yes you have a point. This is 2016 and that area has been depressed since at least the last 90's.

Putting Reliant Stadium there didn't "transform" the area.

jb4647 · 2016-09-27T15:00:31+00:00

Have you been down there? The area is very similar to Gunspoint and the neighborhood around Hobby Airport.

jb4647 · 2016-09-27T13:53:28+00:00

I'm sure they've done marketing studies on how many people on a daily/weekly/monthly basis would shop/play/rock climb etc and found the demand isn't there.

Don't know if you've ever been inside but the Astrodome is HUGE. The area around it is not the most 'charming' neighborhood either.

With the events that they hold at NRG, a parking garage is utilitarian and would bring in revenue to keep the exterior maintained. Perhaps someday they can do something else with it but for the past 16 years it's been just sitting costing the taxpayers $$.

jb4647 · 2016-09-27T13:37:43+00:00

I've been proposing this for years. All of the other ideas such as shopping center or amusement park are ludicrous as no one is going to hang out and shop on Kirby and 610.

Turning the Astrodome into indoor parking garage is the only feasible thing we can do with it, other than tearing it down.

After putting the ballpark, basketball arena, and now soccer stadium downtown, why they decided to put Reliant (now NRG) stadium down near the dome is still a question I ask.

Since there is nothing else that can be done inside, and the only thing people care about is the exterior, making it an indoor parking facility for NRG Stadium is the best and most logical choice.

As long as they preserve the exterior, they can always repurpose it in the future, right now its sitting there doing nothing. Lets put it to immediate use.

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T20:03:13+00:00

Oh hell no! Next thing they will say is that we are near Gulfton.

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T19:11:59+00:00

Yeah, but some places are owned and some are just rented.

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T14:45:28+00:00

Holy crap!

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T13:57:40+00:00

I prefer the description "The Poverty Section of West U."

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T13:56:15+00:00

Stifle yourself Edith!

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T13:54:42+00:00

Yeah, I can't recall if they are condos are apartments. Sometimes people conflate the two.

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T13:53:17+00:00

Usually Reddit has the 1st info when it comes to helicopters that our circulating.

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T12:42:56+00:00

Guess I'll be working from home....

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T12:42:15+00:00

There goes are neighborhood :(

Do we now live in the slums of West U?

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T12:41:16+00:00

Thanks. It's wild to see your home on the TeeVee live.

Thank God for reddit. Always the place to go for news!

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T12:17:06+00:00

Holy fuck! That's one block from me! I've heard the helicopters for the past several minutes and pulled up Reddit to see what's going on! Can't believe I didn't hear the shots!

jb4647 · 2016-09-26T11:59:25+00:00

It's actually the most brilliant idea. I've been saying for years they should retain the outside structure ,the only thing people care about, and turn the inside into covered parking for NRG Stadium events.

It's so simple. There really is no other viable purpose other than tearing it down.

jb4647 · 2016-09-25T19:45:37+00:00

The phone book made horrible toilet paper.

jb4647 · 2016-09-25T18:05:17+00:00

Man, talk about a flashback. This was from when I was a huge Dennis Miller fan and he was actually funny.

jb4647 · 2016-09-23T02:49:43+00:00

He needs to stop hanging around getting awards and get back to writing that final LBJ tome.

jb4647 · 2016-09-23T02:15:54+00:00

Half expected a photo of William Holden floating face down in a pool.....

jb4647 · 2016-09-23T00:04:29+00:00

Here ya go!

I think I have Adult ADHD.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T23:43:54+00:00

Yeah but imagine how rude it would be if in mid conversation someone picked up the newspaper and started reading it. I'm 43 and have never seen that but people do it with their smartphones all the time.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T23:21:50+00:00

This is awesome! Such great 24 hour news coverage devoid of the infotainment bullshit found on CNN, FoxNews or MSNBC.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T19:36:36+00:00

Man, you fought for the Nazi army, now you're being washed out of history.....

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T19:32:18+00:00

This is very true.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T17:46:40+00:00

Exactly.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T14:15:08+00:00

Here a link to the coverage of the closing of the paper I recorded on April 18, 1995

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T03:19:46+00:00

This is a funny read. You actually don't believe this do you?

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T02:25:24+00:00

See, THIS is helpful to know.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T01:53:13+00:00

Dude, that's just an effort in frustration. Some things are just more important to be worried about.

I stopped worrying about such things years ago and I'm a much better man for it. A lot less stressed I can tell you.

I still stand by my statement, that Houston has a lot of voters and this issue is not just a Texas issue. We will just have to agree to disagree.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T01:41:32+00:00

You know, the time you spent typing that took longer than simply ignoring the post in the first place. You don't have to open and read each and every posting on subreddit you know.

Takes me about a 30 secs to scan a page and quickly filter out what I'm interested in clicking on vs not. If I'm not interested I ignore it and go about my day.

jb4647 · 2016-09-22T01:26:06+00:00

Houston is located in Texas and contains voters.

jb4647 · 2016-09-20T12:21:59+00:00

Go to Brooks Brothers. That's all you need to know.

jb4647 · 2016-09-19T19:42:24+00:00

I've never known this to be the case. Every time I've attempted this (the first was the 1995 Melrose Place finale) it's just been a clusterfuck. People just don't know how to shut the hell up.

jb4647 · 2016-09-18T06:31:27+00:00

I buy mine nowhere because I got LASIK from Baylor Eye Center in 2004 ☺️

When I DID where glasses I got 'em at TSO.

jb4647 · 2016-09-17T03:02:50+00:00

I saw the residue when I passed thru later.

jb4647 · 2016-09-15T23:19:44+00:00

Cable has always had commercials. You are thinking of premium channels like HBO.

Basic cable always had them.

jb4647 · 2016-09-15T10:30:30+00:00

Thanks. She's 10 but still just a puppy.

jb4647 · 2016-09-15T03:07:04+00:00

Reunion I recorded in 1988

This is the one you want:

jb4647 · 2016-09-15T02:32:03+00:00

Yeah, they are like our kids. They bring us joy then leave.

jb4647 · 2016-09-15T01:43:56+00:00

That's what so heartbreaking. Our Chowmix is 10 and is going thru some cancer treatment. Looks like she'll need a bit more surgery to get it all. :(

jb4647 · 2016-09-14T19:41:28+00:00

If you do get there, try some of that El Pollo Loco chicken. It's too die for. I think it's owned. by a man named Gus Fring. I always see a Pontiac Aztek parked out front too.

jb4647 · 2016-09-14T19:37:39+00:00

I remember when Daddy Bush was VP and Pres from 1981-1993. He lived in the Houstonian hotel off 610/N Post Oak Ln. Whenever he came to town he'd land at Ellington Field. The traffic between there and the Houstonian became a nightmare.

This went on for twelve years.

jb4647 · 2016-09-13T21:19:48+00:00

I believe I visited KayBee toys in this video I shot back in Dec 1989 at Houston's Galleria:

But wait till you've gotten your severance check first before you start that new gig. For some folks they got up to a year's pay as severance. Hard to turn that down.
