@EvilMopacATX I have the same truck too. I've gone through many employer sponsored safe drivers training courses. Every one of those comanies teach back in parking as the safer method. Newer vehicles have backup cameras. You can park two inches from that Nissan, nobody gets hurt.

@TracesofTexas Here is a Rumley Oil Pull from last October in Temple at the Texas Early Day Tractor and Engine Association show. They are using its flywheel with a large belt to power a wheat trashing machine partially out of frame to the right. The Rumley is there every year.

@KristenCurrieTV I was driving in a TV live van to Jarrell prior to the tornado forming. I pulled over in Georgetown to let the storm pass after a call to the weather office. I'm fortunate to have stopped where I did.

@TracesofTexas I really enjoyed rafting through the Santa Elena Canyon. It's one of the highlights from one of my trips to Big Bend, Terlingua, Lajitas, and Fort Davis. FM170 between Presidio and Candelaria is pretty awesome on a motorcyle as well!

@EvilMopacATX He should look in Steiner. Maybe he likes pineapple. Blue planters? Maybe three white rocks in his driveway? Surely you and McQueen can give him an assist.

@EvilMopacATX The air traffic controller assumed the pilots would hit their max on-duty hours well before gate departure, therefore would never reach the runway.

@dantehranian @austinenergy That's a fiber optic Splice Enclosure and always mounted well below power lines so they don't interfere. You need to report that to your Internet and/or TV provider. That's not Austin Energy property or responsibility.

#OTD 3/31/68: President Johnson declared he would not seek reelection: "I should not permit the presidency to become involved in the partisan divisions that are developing in this political year." B4 the speech, LBJ agonized over his decision & even kept 2 versions with him.

@troykimmelwx @EvilMopacATX @UTAustin @UTAustinSafety @UTAustinPolice @KOKEFMAUSTIN Oh, absolutely! I remember that day well too. I'm glad I don't have to drive toward tornados anymore.
