I'm not sure about the others but I have to say that I really don't care for Artz's place. The menu is limited and the lady with the band came over the second we got our hands dirty with bbq, looking for tips. They do, however, have excellent banana pudding.

Welcome to the show.

Yo, Gemme, you're in the music capitol now! BBQ menus generally are pretty limited, cuz they focus on the BBQ. Bands make their money off tips. Not tipping the band is a felony! They only have a limited amount of time to collect 'em.

It's all listed on page 342 of your Welcome To Austin Handbook. Right past the diagram about the correct pronunciation for "Buda."

My honey told me you had 2" of snow today...tisk, tisk, my heart goes out to you - I have about 4 feet of snow in my driveway, so 'compassionate' is not a word that readily comes to mind, lol

Well, folks, dig yourselves out as best as you can, and...welcome to my world!! lol

Yes. Try 2" and no salt or mag chloride on the roads.

What people in other parts of the country tend to forget is that we don't have the preparation y'all do. So we have 1" of ice with 1" of snow over that.

Come down for a spin. I'll stay inside. Even seasoned winter drivers can't handle ice driving without salt.

true that, I should know. I lived up north, i lived in blizzards etc etc.

but up north they have equipment, they now have "brime" to put on the roads hours before a storm.

here in Texas, they did what they could, with what equipment they have...which is nothing compared to the mid-west / north. they put sand on bridges but that didnt even work. several wrecks today, and a lady was killed when she slid off a bridge. ( course, my thoughts and prayers are with her family and friends )

so, now i get it, now i understand why when i lived up north and would watch on tv, ppl here was driving and wrecking and sliding all around.

Sorry. My last post comes across a bit cranky. It's just that I've lived in Colorado through three back-to-back blizzards and at least one other that I can think of. I've driven in that nastiness.

I used to laugh at people up there who couldn't drive in downpours. They'd be pulling over to the side in what, to me, was just a little boomer.

So, I guess, what I need to remember is that we each have our own experiences.

Sorry if I sounded ugly.

cinderella · 02-05-2011, 12:03 PM

Very true, and I realize that. I'm just teasin' y'all. I know that even 1" of snow - esp over ice - is dangerous no matter if you are prepared or not - esp 'black ice' which we get alot in these here parts. Glad it's all gone, tho.

You're smart staying inside...can I have some hot chocolate after I'm thru 'spinning'? lol
