I would guess you were headed to Angelo State, possibly?

Look for CR153 about 3-4 miles west of Brownwood.  T95 manor is about a mile past the railroad tracks headed south on that road.
Invitation for fried chicken?

Ha!  I dunno, chicken-fried steak more likely.  Any time we have fried chicken, I pick up a bucket from Underwood's.  It's just hard to beat.

You a good man, BC.

Yep, Angelo St, UTPB, WTAMU, ENMSU. I could be wrong (they all blur together) but it seems like Brownwood is on the way to every destination.  Heck I may have even gone through there on my way to Louisiana.

RE A&M...

Unlike Texas’ rivalry with OU or even Arkansas, there were very, very few times when Texas and A&M were both good at the same time.  1974, 1975, 1990, 1995, 1998 maybe amd that’s about it - for my entire 57 year lifetime.

There were a smattering of times, like in the late ‘80s and early ‘90s when A&M was great but Texas was terrible.  The rest of the time it was reversed.

Consequently it was never really a competitive rivalry or a compelling rivalry, IMO.   Each year there were two or three other games I found more interesting.

Plus there just didn’t seem to be any advantage in playing A&M from the Texas point of view.

Beat them like they stole something and it was no big deal.  It was the natural order of things.

Lose to them and OMG.  Here’s a fan base with an 80 year old MNC and a 20 year old CCG that celebrates close losses to top ten teams.  When they beat you it’s like the inmates of an insane asylum for mongoloid chimpanzees are jizzing on you in the shower.

There’s no joy in that.

Best to let them go their own way and hear their crazy WRTS BS through Feinbaum.

NBack to Brownwood...

The missus and I are at that stage in life where we’re starting to think about where we want to end up.

The Austin metro area is a great place to work and raise kids but I wouldn’t want to be old here.  It’s just too crowded and teo expensive.

Ideally I’d like a place in NM on the hill between Alamogordo and Cloud Croft and a place in a poor cheap town on the Texas coast and a nice RV to go between them.

But that’s a lot of work. Maybe a small town in Texas would be better.

I like the warmth and dryness to the west and south, but the cultural diversity to the east and south.

So where to go?

Maybe Brenham.  Drivable distances to the Horns, Astros and Spurs and all the ice cream I could want.

Inordinate amount of lesbians there.  Can’t swing a dead cat without hitting one.  I have no problem with ‘em.

I like the state of Texas in general, but the appeal lessens when thinking about retirement.  After the boon of no state income tax wears off, put me in a place like Louisiana where property taxes aren't going to eat my soul until I die.  

...but not actually Louisiana.

I'd like to live in a place with a real autumn, regardless of what period of my life it's in.

That's sounds like real old fart territory.

Can't help it.  My parents used to get together with one my uncles and his wife, and me and my cousin would forced to ride along on fall days for hours while those idiots drove probably 100's of miles to "look at the leaves."  

They were insane.  Who wastes time doing something like that?  I got basketballs to bounce, Legend of Zelda puzzles to figure out, scrambled porn channels to try and make out the occasional boob.  Life is hectic when you're a young guy...who wants to be cooped up in a car with your parents, and who even gives a rat's ass about what color some leaves are?

Fast forward to some point in my 20's--I don't know when exactly it started--I began lamenting the hot/green periods contrasted only with very cold/dead foliage periods.  Every time I visit people in a place like Nashville, or Missouri...anywhere with a real fall, I think how nice the leaves look and how I wish I had a few months of that per year.  And I especially covet the true autumn weather.  'Round here we go from Sauna to Freezer, whiplashing back and forth, with very few days in between with just nice, cool weather.  

I also wanna build a deck, so I can sit outside and drink coffee while I take in the autumn weather and look at the pretty leaves.

Jeez....what happened to me?
