@StephenCurry30 should def pull up to my job and come play with some puppers after he gets done golfing in maumelle today since i bought his shoes in the 8th grade😏
In Texas they told me to stop at Buc-ee's for gas.
I have been to shrines. I have stood in temples that took two hundred years to build.
I was not prepared for the gas station.
There were one hundred and twenty fuel pumps.
I counted them because I did not believe them.
A man beside me was filling a truck the size of my first apartment, and he was not filling it because it was empty.
He was filling it because he was here, and here is where a man fills things.
Inside was a hall so vast I lost the horizon.
A wall of jerky. A wall of fudge I did not know the country produced.
A brisket sandwich handed to me by a man in a beaver costume.
And I want to be clear, the beaver is not a mascot.
The beaver is a saint.
The people speak of him the way my grandmother spoke of the mountain behind her house.
And the bathrooms.
I had been warned about the bathrooms and I had dismissed the warning as the pride of a loud people.
I was wrong to dismiss it.
The bathrooms are famous across the whole state and they have earned it.
I have slept in worse hotels. I nearly bowed upon entering.
A janitor was polishing the floor with the devotion of a man tending a garden he loved, and when I thanked him he said "welcome in," which I have since learned is what Texas says instead of hello, and also instead of I am glad you exist.
I went in for gas. I was inside for ninety minutes.
I came out with fudge, a shirt printed with a joke I do not fully understand, forty dollars of jerky, and a feeling I can only describe as having been to church.
I did not need any of it.
I needed all of it.
I have walked through the great cathedrals of the old world. I lit no candle there.
I lit no candle at Buc-ee's either.
But I did fill the truck.
And I understand now that in Texas, this is the same thing.
@YUNGJEFF I can’t wait for Jeff to catch up so he can tell us what happens in the future of the story and then correctly guess what the one piece is for all of us😂
To be in the #CFB HoF, a coach must have won at least 60% of his games. Mike Leach won 59.6% before his death in 2022.
The National Football Foundation will lower the winning pct to 59.5% starting with the 2027 ballot to address Leach’s special circumstance.
Hell yeah!! 🫡 🏴☠️👻
Not a blame guy but my wife and daughter has us 13 minutes late to our movie start time (Hoppers)
I’m not going to say anything right now but they will get a whole-ass lecture on the way home about how we don’t miss previews and how they set the tone for the movie
