I'm NOT a big Rice or SWC fan, and I'm usually too cautious to make 
early season predictions (I like to save everyone elses, however).
Still, I'm going to go out on a limb on this one.  Rice will make
Owl dung out of the Cougars.  At the dome, no less.

ObWoof:  go jackets!

   Howdy 

        I was wondering if anyone could provide some opinions 
   on Type I and Type II WMA's.  Particularly, I'm interested
   in comments regarding Type II permits.  Are they worthwhile? 
   Suggestions on other options?  I'm in the Houston area and 
   can not justify $$$ for a lease on my budget - is there any 
   other public land within a couple of hours?  Are any Type 
   II WMA's in the Houston area?  (no more than a 2 hr drive) 

	Thanks.

I would encourage you to actually read a newspaper.  The least story
of violence, whether caused by "good" guys or "bad" guys", makes the
paper.  The only exceptions to this rule is where the act is so
common-place that it has long since ceased to be newsworthy.  Abortion
protests are still rare enough that protests and parades still make
the news.  If there was violence there, it would have been reported.

``Defense lines''?  Please, spare me the rhetoric.  Being on the defense
lines would be defending the children that are killed in the clinics.
Have you ever seen a 12 week old child?  You see, they look just like a
child that's been born.  They have fingers, toes, arms, legs, a brain that
has been working for weeks.  And if you watch the kid flop about on
ultrasound, you can see a shimmering spot that shows the heartbeat.  If
you were watching through a scope, you'd see the child making faces, or
perhaps taking a nap and holding its umbilical cord like a security
blanket.  This is what you are ``Defending'' [sic] the murder of.  I do
hope that you rot in Hell.

We stayed at a hotel in College Station in 1988.
I believe it was called The Aggieland Hotel.
It wasn't as nice as most Hiltons, but it was fine.
Sorry I don't have the number.

Can anyone recommend good (not necessarily cheap) beachfront hotels in the
Corpus Christi area? We're looking for something reasonably luxurious (no
flames please for my decadent lifestyle 8-)).

The couple that seem interesting from the AAA book are: Port Royal By the Sea
on Mustang Island and Holiday Inn N. Padre Island.

Any recommendations?

Uh, either "Sarge" is a gifter hacker/cracker, or you're related

Well, yeah, it's pretty simple to be a "bike" person when your wife
can go to the grocery store in her car, drive you to work in the
rain in her car, pick up anything you need to buy that you can't 
bungie onto the back of your bike, blah blah blah.  Sell the wife's 
car, and your whole perspective is gonna change drastically, esp. 
if you don't like getting on the bike without at least jacket & gloves.

old friend.  I haven't been to Dallas, except to pass thru,
and my friend is flying into Dallas for a meeting so she
doesn't know her way around, either.

Sooooooo, any suggestions on where to go, what to do?  I

things y'all would do if going to Dallas for the first
time?

Oh my... I think I need to call my sister-in-law up at the Highway Dept in
Austin to revoke your MC license! Man that's the whole idea. Change that
perspective! Wear that jacket and those gloves and boots every day!

What, you gonna melt if you get a little wet or something? Where's that
rainsuit? And that jacket isn't so hot when you learn how to dress and change
your mental attitude about heat.  So's you sweat a little... Walking into a
store wearing leathers, gloves and carrying a helmet always manages to keep
people far enough away from me that they couldn't smell me anyway. :^)

For example, you are supposed to ride to work INSTEAD of drinking coffee.
Wake yourself up for the ride! 100% attention! Now get out there and ride
those motorcycles every day!

I wish he did, at least then I'd know where the damn parts were!  Called 
the place yesterday and the guy there said that the distributor mailed 
them UPS blue label on Tuesday, which meant that the shop should have 
received them on Thursday, but alas, they didn't show up.  So now the 
shop is having UPS trace the package.  

I am not meant to have this part.  Hell, with my luck, once the part 
does arrive, it will probably be the wrong one!

Okay, Mark.  Actually, this isn't funny right now.  I have been waiting 
now for 18 days to get those damn forks back.  I am supposed to hear from 
the place today to see if the fucking distributor has even shipped the 
damn fork tube!  If they haven't, I going to pick the forks up, put them 
back on and then take them back when the damn part finally arrives.  
Three fucking weeks to order a part!  What's the deal?

It's that damn construction that worries me, like at all the 
interchange areas, especially around 59 now, but no, I don't want to 
race.  I know you bike has a higher top end and you don't have to 
go home and explain to anyone why you got a ticket for 110 mph in 
a 55! ;-P

Anyway, with only one wheel right now, I don't think I could wheelie 
it all the way around!
