my brother's son did a bunch of camping in scouts

I think the Father's in Texas like getting out in the woods and drinking while the scouts are asleep

or perhaps that's a take on my brother?

Yup my brother did a Philmont trek, and Bald Greg not only did a trek as a Scout, but was a ranger working out there for a couple of years.  He's an Eagle Scout, too.

so, that just might be part of the reason scouts camping could be a bigger deal in Texas?

Dads in my son's scouting troop don't really do that.  Other troops and organizations probably do.

When we're camping on our own or with other families, though, you better believe many libations are consumed around the campfire.

My daughter's boyfriend earned his Eagle Scout rank. It remains an admirable accomplishment.
My own experience with scouting was abysmal, likely due to my troop being populated with a bunch of turds who would've been locked up on petty charges if their parents weren't wealthy. I went on one camp-out. Turns out the movies lied to me. There wasn't a cheerleader camp on the other side of the lake. Just more miscreants.
I peaced out and started playing hair metal.

Bob Bowlsby, who has led the Big 12 since 2012 and most recently steered it through the tumultuous announcement of the departures of Texas and Oklahoma, will step down from his role as commissioner later this year, he said Tuesday.

So, driving around on some errands today, I saw a Corvette of the '67-72 generation go by in the opposite direction.

Compared to the C8 Corvette, it looked small.

Which is funny, because there's not much difference in the dimensions except for wheelbase.

C3 Corvette:

Dimensions


Wheelbase


98.0 in (2,489 mm)[2][3]
Length


  • 182.1 in (4,625 mm) (MY1968)
  • 185.3 in (4,707 mm) (MY1982)
Width


  • 69.2 in (1,758 mm) (MY1968)
  • 69.0 in (1,753 mm) (MY1982)
Height


  • 47.8 in (1,214 mm) (MY1968)
  • 48.0 in (1,219 mm) (MY1982)
Curb weight


3,520 lb (1,597 kg)

C8 Corvette:


Dimensions


Wheelbase


107.2 in (2,723 mm)
Length


182.3 in (4,630 mm)
Width


76.1 in (1,933 mm)
Height


48.6 in (1,234 mm)
Curb weight


3,647 lb (1,654 kg)[6]





And it's remarkable how little weight it has gained in 55 years.  My 2012 Boss 302 is about 1400 pounds heavier than a '65 Mustang GT.

Maybe good styling looks small and bad styling looks big.

The OU softball team right now looks like an awesome machine.

Great hitting, great pitching.  Best in both categories, and it's not really close.  They can beat you with the big fly and they can beat you playing little ball.  They can beat you 11-0 or they can beat you 2-1.  The team has a 35-0 record, and something like 30 of those wins have been by run-rule.  They're fun to watch, unless you are rooting for the other team.

Fielding appears to be the weakest link.  The Sooners have already committed about as many errors as they did in all of last year.  They're 74th out of 293 teams in NCAA Div. I, with a .966 fielding percentage, while category-leading FSU has a .986 mark.

I don't think they'll go undefeated, but I do think they'll win at Texas Tech today to have the best start since softball has been an NCAA sport.

Oklahoma State and Texas figure to be the biggest roadblocks between the Sooners and the Big 12 championship.
