Texas Tech rented 10 helmet communications units for $20,000. Maryland paid a rental fee of $5,000 for six helmet kits.
So, Maryland paid $1,200 a kit and Texas Tech paid $2,00 a kit.


Maybe somebody saw Texas Tech's buyers coming.

We were in San Diego for a week and I made an effort to have Mexican a couple times.  Both places were somewhat "upscale", which isn't quite what I wanted.  The first place was "OK", different, the second place, a small chain called Miguel's, was quite good, we shared chicken fajitas, usually the chicken is dry and over cooked, here is was quite good.  Nothing creative about it.

I sorta wanted more of a taco stand.  My step kids there don't seem to like Mexican much.

In my experience, really bad Mexican is rare, as is something remarkably good.  It's not that tough to make any of the basic items.

I go to the local place down the street for lunch every so often and I think it's fine.

We might have different standards for Mexican food.  In my experience there's tons of really bad Mexican food.

In my experience, most people don't know what real Mexican food is.  I sure didn't, before I spent a while down in the valley.  What most people think of as Mexican food is Tex-Mex.  But even that gets screwed up sometimes, and I've definitely been to restaurants that did gross Tex-Mex. 

I'd agree that truly great instances are rare, but I suspect that has more to do with the fact my palette burnt out on Mexican food long ago and I just don't care for it all that much anymore, moreso than there really isn't any great Mexican food.

The best Mexican I've had was because the fish was really fresh in both case, once in Cancun and once in LA.  Otherwise, it's pretty much all the same, even if I dine at a place where I'm the sole Gringo eating.  It may be that the range between average and quite good to me is slight.  I go to the highly recommended places here and they are pretty good, I think, and I'm often the only Gringo in a packed house, but I find Willy's down the street to be about as good.

My neighbor disagrees, he thinks Willy's is bad.  I don't.

I use "mexican food" in a broad sense.

There's really no such thing as "real Mexican food."  Like any other large country, there are huge variations in diet and cuisine from one region to another.  Oaxacan Mexican food is not very much like what you find in Mexico City which is also very different from dishes in the Yucatan.  

But speaking generally, there's tons of bad Mexican, Tex-Mex, and Cal-Mex out there in the world.  In my experience.

OK, there is Taco Bell, if we include them in this discussion.  I'd include Chipotle as being "Mexican-ish".  They are OK, I'm not much of a fan though.

I think my favorite food item is anything including real fresh fish.
