I remember Cadillac Bar used to have it before Landry's bought it. Does anyone know where to get some or if it's something that's only available on certain days?

I'm going to tonight's game and want an old school style ticket as a souvenir. Is that even possible anymore? The old one that feels more cardboardy and can be ripped off.

As some of you know, umpire scorecard is fun to see how good or bad some of these guys are. Due to the calculations, any favor over 1 run is considered extreme and game changing.

Fun stats: in the last 9 days, umps have have favored the opposing team by more than 1 run 3 times.

Since the beginning of the season up to the last 9 days, the opposing team have been favored by 1 run 3 times.

I'm sure it's just a coincidence.

Theon Greyjoy and Ramsey Bolton or Reek https://houstonnewmedia.org/another-cal-easterby-comparison-theon-greyjoy-and-ramsey-bolton-or-reek/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=another-cal-easterby-comparison-theon-greyjoy-and-ramsey-bolton-or-reek Mon, 01 Feb 2021 16:20:28 +0000 http://houstonnewmedia.org/?guid=f9c0b2d6e922298b267ce81480a7efd3

I keep hearing about LOTR's comparison of Wormtongue and King Theodin, but I feel it's unfair for Theodin, a great king turned lazy. It is more like GoT with Cal McNair as Theon Greyjoy and Easterby as Ramsey Bolton.

Theon Greyjoy is the heir of the Iron Throne, the only son of the King. His character always think he is the s**t despite having no achievements besides his birth. This makes him easy to manipulate to those who suck up to him from whores to underlings.

Jack Easterby is Ramsey Bolton, a conniving POS who relishes in torture. In GoT or in the books, Ramsey decides to kidnap and force a third party, Lady Hornwood to marry him thus giving him those lands. Sir Rodrick of Winterfell, goes over to kick his ass so Ramsey lives by pretending to be a slave named Reek and gets taken prisoner at Winterfell.

With the backgrounds out of the way, what happens next is that Theon takes over Winterfell with 20 men. There he finds Reek/Ramsey Bolton who he takes into his confidence. Ramsey lies and says he will go to the Dreadfort and come back with him to help Theon. Theon allows him, so Ramsey goes and does just that except he brings his men to slaughter everyone else. Now Theon is taken captive and Ramsey Bolton gets bored and tortures Theon to break him and makes him the slave Reek.

So right now Easterby/Bolton has broken Cal McNair/Theon Greyjoy/New Reek. Cal is now Easterby's pet dog.

Are there any tree hobbyists here? I have a big, maybe 40' pecan tree that was struck by lightning. It's still standing but will need to go. I figured to call a tree company, but they might just mulch it. If the tree is solid, I figured it could be worth something to someone.

I am asking if anyone knows if I should just call a tree company or if there is a service that will charge me less because they can use the tree.
