Kingsbury 'n' Stuff

Thank you Chad (who excitedly told me the very cool story of when he met Kliff Kingsbury), for informing me that Kingsbury's blood "runs red! Never has it run maroon!" To that, I say...

:p

Kidding. Best of luck at your alma mater, Kingsbury! Now the Tech girls (and their moms) can drool over you every week.


Totally unrelated, in the Austin news...
Drinking and driving is a crime, sometimes with fatal consequences, but I have a big problem with the law that makes bars (and party hosts) responsible for how much patrons drink. Austin PD released its annual list of what they call "DWI Bars," which are the places at which people arrested for DWI report having their last drink. So many other factors are at play in such a poll, including the sheer popularity of a bar. It's impossible to use that data for anything.

Only one person is responsible for how much you drink and if you choose to get behind the wheel of a car, and that is you. The bar has no idea how much you drank before you showed up. They have no idea if you are even driving. They don't know if you're someone like me who gets tipsy after one infrequent glass of wine, or a big drinker who has a bottle every night. It's shouldn't be their responsibility to babysit customers. The reason it's been made their responsibility--- bars have more money than individuals for lawsuit payouts.

May as well blame the liquor companies, while you're at it. How about the Stop 'n Go that sold the drinker the six-pack he drank before he went to the bar that night? The car manufacturer? The friends who let him drive? Silly, silly.
