Maybe he can hop on his Bad Motor Scooter and chase them down.

Several neighbors had them in the SF Bay Area .

They are also called century plants. They grow a quite tall flower spike that is very abundant and showy.

[waterhill]

We had one in our front yard in Pantego, TX. Between Arlington and Handley/Ft. Worth.

[Repealthe17thAmendment]

These guys probably stole it.

[ETCM]

But David Lee Roth was always a better front man.

I've seen Hagar solo and with Van Halen, and Van Halen with Roth. Hagar was a much better performer at the shows I saw. Last time I saw Roth was the 1984 tour. He was horrible, and apparently drunk. Hagar did lack Roth's flamboyant style, costumes and showmanship, but I wasn't really a fan of that aspect of 80's rock.

trucks were illegally double brokered

Brokers said that double brokering has been around since shippers started relying on brokerages to find trucks to haul their freight. Most agree that it’s legal as long as the shipper consents to the arrangement and the carrier hired to haul the load is also privy to the details and is paid.

However, freight brokers also agree that double brokering is fraught with risk and becomes illegal when a shipper specifies that its loads are not to be re-brokered.

I wonder why these two don’t produce their liquor in America.

Specific regions in Mexico have the rights to tequila. It cannot be produced outside of these regions. All of the tequila in the U.S. is imported.

[Sirius Lee]

Wasn’t me.

[chuck allen]

That tequila’s on Space Station #5 by now, wonder how long they can Make it Last?

[T.B. Yoits]

Somebody missed a protection payment...

[discostu]

I was definitely nowhere near Texas at this time.

Specific regions in Mexico have the rights to tequila.

Just call it "Agaveliqua". Use a completely different formula, you know, don't add all the sugar and other crap that they add to tequila.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

The robbery reportedly took place in Laredo, Texas, just after the big rigs had crossed the border from Mexico.

I lived in Texas for ten years and stupidly visited Laredo/Nuevo Laredo one time. When I think of Laredo it reminds me of the scene from No Country for Old Men where Sheriff Ed Tom Bell witnesses the drug gang fleeing the motel where they just killed Llewellyn Moss.

Laredo is a place you want to stay away from.

[scrabblehack]

What about tequiza? I think that’s tequila mixed with cerveza (beer).

[V_TWIN]

Maybe it’s about keeping the US federal government from taxing it into oblivion

[laplata]

No problem. Don’t worry about it.

I watch Tales of Wells Fargo quite a bit. Good show and Jim Hardie always gets his man.

[Sirius Lee]

Pass.
